‘T, hope you arrived safely, thinking of you, B’

Tina couldn’t help but smile, she thought back to the time they had been together when either traveled for business or even when they would spend the night apart they would send each other texts or short e-mails ‘missing you’ or ‘thinking of you’ Tina took a deep breath she held the phone close to her heart, unsure of what to do.

‘Should I text back?’ Tina asked herself

She thought about what Jessica had told her about forgiving her, moving on, family.

‘Family’ Tina said to herself

Would she be able to forgive Justin? What about their child could she be ‘aunt Tina’ would they even let her?

Tina took a deep breath, looked at the glowing screen of her phone and began typing a message.

‘Arrived safely, been thinking of u too, will call u later on in the week, we should talk.’

Tina hit the send button

A few seconds later…

‘Thank you’

Tina smiled placed the phone back on the side table and fell asleep.

It was finally Friday, and Tina had put in a 12 hours days for the last week trying to tie up all the loose ends, she had to on going projects she needed to or rather wanted to finish before she left and she had not even began to look at the list her assistant had given her of possible hires for the new studio, looks like she would be working all weekend she was going to work from home to avoid any unwanted interruptions.

It finally dawned on Tina that Jessica had been MIA for the last week, she had talked to her once on Monday and via text on Wednesday, she had been busy and neglecting her she made a mental note to call her tonight as soon as she got home she would invite her over for dinner and a movie. Tina still hadn’t called Bette either like she promised she made a mental note to call her too.

It was 9pm when Tina finally arrived at her place, she unlocked the door threw her bag on the couch and placed the pile of binders and folders in the table. She began unbuttoning her shirt as she made her way to her bedroom she noticed the light was on, she saw Jessica with a bag on her bed, and saw Jessica putting things in it.
