    Author Notes:

    Bette’s finally in motion. Will she crash? B/T

        Bette kept her smile but inside she was reeling in confusion. “Franklin’s retiring?”

        “Oh yes. He cited personal reasons. I heard his wife
    left him for a younger man.” Helena laughed. “He’s moving to Spain to
    try and get her back. Isn’t it such a cliche? I would have demanded
    that he stay until he completed his contract, but I thought better of
    it.”

        “So he’s leaving the CAC?”

        “Effective immediately. Now, don’t pretend you’ll be
    sorry to see him go. I know you and he hadn’t been seeing eye to eye as
    to the exhibits that the CAC shows. I admit I don’t care much for the
    artists he’s been talking to. They’re much too… boring, actually. You
    on the other hand…”Helena made a show of looking at the folders on
    Bette’s table. “These are really marvelous! Where did you find these?”

        “I… These are abstracts. Paintings. Abstract
    paintings from Modern to contemporary artists.” Bette couldn’t help the
    protective hand she laid on the folders.

        “Of course! Abstract art is fascinating.”

        “Yes, yes they are. It’s a misconception that
    abstract doesn’t reflect humanity the way that, say Impressionists
    do…”

        Helena nodded quickly and dismissively. “I’ll leave
    the dissertation-making to you. I merely enjoy looking at them.” Helena
    smiled charmingly. “That’s not what I want to talk to
    you about.”

        “Really?” Bette tried to look interested. “What did you want to talk to me about?”

        “Well, since Franklin’s gone off to learn flamenco
    or tango or whatever it is that  sweeps ladies off their feet
    these days, his position as museum director has been vacated. I could
    try to find someone else, but I happen to think that hiring within the
    CAC would be a better choice.”

        “Within the CAC? But there’s no one else here aside
    from me. You’re not talking about James are you?” Bette felt blood
    drain from her face.

        “Bette Porter, as of today, you’ve been promoted to
    museum director. I called the Hanson Gallery and Marina Ferrer has
    agreed to work for us as head curator. So why don’t you ask your
    handsome assistant to help you move your things to Franklin’s old
    office? You could also tell him he’s been promoted too. Assistant to
    the museum director is a step up, I believe?” Helena looked satisfied
    with herself but Bette was having a difficult time breathing.
