“Good for you, best of luck to you both.”  After she said that, her face showed some worry and sadness which concerned Alice and Dana.  Alice asked, “What’s wrong is something going on with you and Tina?”

Bette answered, “I need to get going, and I can’t discuss this right now.”  She was ready to leave, when Alice grabbed her by the arm and said,

“Hold it right there, you are not going to leave here until you tell what the fuck is going on!”  Bette rolled her eyes and said,

“Fine, let’s sit down, I mean I have nothing else to fucking do!” 

        “Ok, first of all where is Angelica?” asked Alice as she pulled out a chair for Dana, Dana sat down and smiled at Alice appreciatively.  Bette sat next to Alice and answered, “Tina decided to take Angelica to work with her because she wants to spend time with her and hasn’t been able to lately.”  Dana asked,

“And you are pissed because Tina hasn’t been able to spend time with you?”  Bette sighed and thought about it for a second, then replied,

“It’s so fucking complicated and Kit has even told me this that I’m pissed because I’m not the breadwinner and that Tina isn’t staying home taking care of things.”

Alice said,

“I think Kit is right and you need to get over that. I know that sounds harsh”

Bette interrupted,

“Which is your specialty!”

Alice snapped,

“Goddamn it, let me finish!” 

Bette snapped,

“Fine!”

Alice continued, “Your pride is getting in the way of you and Tina being truly happy and probably is the cause of the postponement of the wedding.”

Bette said,

“I’m out of the job, Alice! I can’t afford a wedding right now!”

Alice replied,

“Don’t give me that bullshit, the wedding and honeymoon could be paid for, we are offering to pay for it.”

Bette shook her head and said,

“I can’t accept it.”

Alice responded,

“Because you want to be in charge of everything and your pride comes first!” 

Dana asked Bette,

“What’s wrong with accepting a gift from your friends?”

Bette said,

“I don’t know and I want to accept it but I think I’m pushing Tina away and maybe I am. I mean Kit has even told me that she thinks I’m pushing Tina into an affair.”
