Whistling lightly at this elaborate setup, James gave her a card that was left at his desk with instructions. The past few weeks and even before that Bette had seemed so stressed. Whenever she came in James would wish for the day to end if only so he wouldnt have to feel the sadness and dejection radiate from Bette. But she had smiled whenever she got the flowers so he felt that it was good for her to be a little bit happier. He wondered where Tina was but didnt ask knowing that something big had happened. Wondering at who had set this up, he walked out of the office.

Bette stood there still in shock at the thoughtfulness of this gesture, she wished that she could share this moment with Tina and be able to tell the story that this scene reminded her of. Placing the unopened card on her desk she admired the flowers, feeling the excitement run through her veins, she felt strong, powerful and yet utterly helpless at the same time. She had felt this way when she first met Tina and was captivated by her beauty and open demeanour.

The smile now turned a little sad as her thoughts turned to Tina,

What was she doing now?

Would she answer if Bette called?

Could she forgive Bette for her actions?

Would they be able to rebuild what they lost?

Picking up the phone mindlessly, Bete began dialling Alices number only to quickly slam down the phone as she became conscious of her movements. Feeling her heart pounding she sighed deeply.
Her feelings nowadays seemed to be a mimic a rollercoaster with its twists and turns. Frankly Bette was getting sick of feeling this way and wanted to forget with out having to end up with a pounding headache which she was currently feeling.

James interrupted her thoughts with a reminder of her meeting and calls that had to be made before the end of the day. Shifting into her thoughts to her work she lost herself in her preparation for her meeting and the research that she needed to do.

When she returned fro her meeting, she found a missed call on her cell. Looking at the screen her heart jumped when it read Tina.
Her fingers shook as she was about to return the call but James buzzing at her phone distracted her.
Line 1 Bette, its Kit
Thanks James
