Bette nodded, still keeping mum.

”By the way, have you ever heard of the Kasabian band?” Kameron asked with a smile.

”No”

”I’m playing there along with my partner Sally. We perform country music generally, wander from bar to bar. You know how it is…” Kameron said and laughed lightly. ”So, Bette, if you’re interested, Kit knows where to find me.” She then winked at Kit and said her goodbyes.

With a raised eyebrow Bette watched the woman disappear from her sight before she turned her attention back to her sister. ”What was that?” She asked, sitting on the stool next to Kit.

”A damn good offer, sis. Think about it.”

”I don’t see anything good in it” Bette said, gesturing to the barmaid for a vodka shot.

”Come on, are you serious? I heard them and I highly recommend. You like playing and they need a guitarist. What’s your problem?”

”Kit, I’m not gonna play in a band”

Kit stared at her sisted with narrowed eyes as she spoke. ”Whatcha sayin’?”

Bette knocked back her vodka shot and grimaced from the burning liquid. ”I’m sayin’ that I don’t want to play in a band, and even if I did, I don’t have time for this”

”Oh right…” Kit smirked rather sadly, shaking her head.

Bette sharply looked at her and gave her an evil eye. ”Don’t you oh right me, Kit”

Kit waved a hand at her wearily. ”Fine”

Sighing audibly, Bette made an attempt to be nice. ”Listen, I actually wanted to ask you for help. You aren’t leaving yet, are you?”

”No, what is it?”

”I will perform a song soon and I’d like you to accompany me with back vocal”

Kit opened her mouth. ”You mean your own song? For Tina?”

Bette smiled warmly, nodding. ”Yes, Kit”

Kit started laughing, almost jumping in joy. ”Oh my goodness, sis! I’m so happy for you!” She bent forward and hugged her sister tightly. ”I can’t believe you’re gonna sing again! Tina will be so ecstatic! This is true love no doubt!”

”Of course it is”

”So, when do we start?”

”Carmen will give a signal. She’s helping with lighting and adjusting the tone”

”I can’t wait already… This is so amazing, baby girl!” Kit said gleefully, embracing her sister again.
