Reeling from the internal harangue, Bette felt hot
tears trying to force their way through her tightly shut lids. She
summoned Tina’s face.
Tina! She cried silently. Don’t let them be right.
Will I be too much for you? Will you give up on me when you find out
that I’m not healthy, not able to be happy and just… not… normal?!
Jesus Christ! Bette wiped tears from her cheeks angrily. Stop it, Bette
ordered herself. Break down at home, be strong at work. This can’t
happen. It’s not right. With deep calming breaths, Bette chased the
tears back. She went to the washroom to splash her face with cool
water, trying to complete the process of detaching from her emotions.
Alright Bette you *****-up, get through the day, go
home, break down. Then Tina, Bette was caught by surprise by a sudden
sob that erupted when she thought of Tina’s name. Tina will come and I
will see her. We will go out and I’ll just try to enjoy myself. Worry
about everything else after. Give me just tonight, Bette begged the
ugly voice, just one night for me to be with her, please.
When she stepped back into her office, Helena was
sitting on the edge of her table, flipping through a folder of
reproductions.
“He-, Helena! Good morning,” Bette was caught off
guard and drew in a breath, which came out as a sniffle. Helena noticed
and hastily stood up. She approached Bette solicitously.
“Bette?” Helena’s voice was full of concern. “Were you crying? What happened? Are you alright?”
Bette gave a small smile but it came out looking forced, which further inflamed Helena’s concern.
“What is it? Did something happen?” Helena reached out and put a warm hand on Bette’s forearm.
“No no. Nothing happened, Ms. Peabody,” Bette spoke softly to take the sting out of the dismissal.
Helena knew reproach when she saw it, and withdrew
accordingly. However, her injured pride couldn’t let her just leave.
From a friend, she had found out that Bette was seen at The Planet that
morning with Tina Kennard. When she was informed, Helena had felt
insulted. Bette would go out with a prostitute and not with a respected
gallery owner and art patron? She’d come into Bette’s office to try to
find out Bette’s side of the story, only to see her with red-rimmed
eyes. She easily came to her own conclusions.
