    I Fall Behind pt.17

        “Hi! Marina, I’m Alice!” Alice smoothly intercepted. “Bette here has laryngitis so…”

        “Oh, I’m sorry.” Marina offered a look of
    consolation. “On such a lovely night too. And I was looking forward to
    speaking with you again. How long has it been? A year? Two?”

        Bette smiled and held up two fingers. She was a bit
    relieved that Alice came through. But she realized that Alice couldn’t
    hang onto her arm the whole night. She would have to face these people
    sooner or later. Not only was this Franklin’s farewell dinner, it was
    somehow Bette’s congratulatory party as well. She cleared her throat.

        “Marina! I’m so glad to see you again!” Bette
    feigned a slight scratch in her voice. I heard you’re coming aboard the
    CAC! I’m sure we’ll have many opportunities to catch up.”

        “Definitely. I’m looking forward to it already. When
    Helena called me last week, I was surprised to say the least. But I
    could not be happier. Anyway, it was a pleasure to talk
    to you but I see someone waving to me. I will see you very soon. It was nice to meet you
    Alice. ” With a smile and a wave, Marina swam away and into the crowd.

        “Way to go Bette! You handled that very well.” Alice commented softly. “Here comes another one.”
       
        And so person after person came to congratulate Bette. Several of them expressed
    their surprise to see Bette out at night, and Bette tried to be
    gracious to all of them. She was gritting her teeth and begging Alice
    to get her another drink when Helena sauntered forward.

        Bette spotted her and her hand shot out to grab Alice back to her side.

        “What the *****, Bette! Make up your mind. Do you
    want the drink or not?” Alice’s irritated tone barely penetrated
    Bette’s mind.

        “Bette! My dear, I am so glad you came!” Helena
    exclaimed and gave Bette’s cheeks a soft kiss each. Bette couldn’t help
    flash back to her first date with Tina and felt a pang in her heart.
    No, Bette chided herself. No Tina for you tonight, or ever, Bette.

        “Good evening Ms. Peabody.” Bette smiled woodenly.
    “Have you met Alice Piezecki? She’s a writer for LA Magazine.”

        “I believe I’ve read one or two of her pieces. Hello Alice.” Helena was all smiles.

        “Ms. Peabody, it’s an honor to meet such an
    accomplished woman such as yourself!” Alice gushed. Bette
    surreptitously elbowed her side.

        “Thank you Alice!” Helena beamed. Then turning to
    scan the crowd, she raised an arm and beckoned someone to come. “Here
    comes my date for the evening. Someone you
    know, Bette.” Helena gave Bette a crafty smile.

        “Tina, my dear. Come congratulate Bette on her promotion.”
