    Author Notes:

    Tina coming to terms, Bette sticks up for herself B/T

        ”Anyway, I was just by to give you this. It’s our
    itenerary for next week. I do hope you don’t forget to lock up your
    apartment and leave me in Italy to deal with those pompous Italians by
    myself.” Helena laughed and handed Bette some sheets of paper.

        Bette glanced down and pretended to study the
    typrewritten lines. Helena stood by and pretended to appraise what she
    could see of the office from just outside the door. Finally Bette
    cleared her throat.

        ”Helena? Is there any way that Marina could go with
    you to Italy? After all, she’s the new curator. Looking at new art and
    evaluating them would be her job, right?”   

        Helena stared at Bette in shock. Her brow furrowed in confusion. “Excuse me?”

        ”Well, since you were going to take me in my
    capacity as curator and now that I’m not that anymore… I just think
    you should take the one who’s the current curator to act in her
    capacity as curator…” Bette stumbled over a few of her words, knowing
    how Helena could interpret her words as some sort of transgression of
    protocol… that Bette was actually challenging Helena’s authority.

        ”Ah… well…” Helena stalled.

        ”I could talk to her. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind.
    And another thing, she’s from that region. She actually speaks Italian.
    I think that would be an asset, don’t you?” As Bette spoke, she gained
    confidence in what she was saying. And it helped that Helena seemed
    taken aback by it all. Bette found that she enjoyed the look of
    bewilderment, the slip of the mask of self-assurance, on Helena’s face.

        ”Well…” Helena tried to recover gracefully.
    “You’ve made a very interesting argument, certainly… one that I
    cannot disagree with. Sadly, as I was looking forward to seeing that
    magnificent country with you, but you are correct. It would perhaps be
    more advantageous to have Marina there, instead of you.”

        Bette smiled as widely as Helena had in the
    beginning. She imagined that she was looking like a prety smug shark
    right about now. “I’m glad you see my point, Helena. So, I can give her
    this later, when she comes in.” Bette held up the sheaf of papers.

        ”No, let me.” Helena snatched the papers away. She walked away quickly, trying to recover her wits.

        Bette giggled and slipped into her new office, for
    once gratified at her new position. She was so relieved that she didn’t
    have to fly to Italy with Helena. It meant she could spend more time
    with Tina.

        Bette sighed. Tina. When she kisses me. When she
    holds me in her arms. When she smiles at me and I feel the warmth of it
    in my bones. I want to.
