The brunette turned her attention back to road as she started to mull fervently over many probabilities what could have happened while she was away speaking to Dominic. Tina couldn’t have possibly known about Dominic’s real connection to her. She also couldn’t have heard their conversation that’s for sure. Had Helena divulged something to Alice and Alice voiced her words to Tina? No, she couldn’t, Bette thought. Helena couldn’t do that, she might like Alice but her head was in the right place to keep mum about such things. Had Tina found something in the car? Bette unconsciously glanced out of the corner of her eyes at the glove compartment where she usually kept her gun. No, it can’t be it. She left her gun at home. And Tina wouldn’t just rummage in her personal things, would she?

Bette decided to keep calm for now. ”Okay, Tee” She said plainly. ”We will talk”

Tina directed her attention towards Bette for the first time. ”When?”

Bette sighed. ”I don’t know. Not today.”

”Why? Where will you go after dropping us off?”

”I have work, Tina” Bette responded if a little sternly. But she didn’t mean to answer in such tone, she just was upset that Tina was doubting her.

Alice cleared her throat pointedly, making the couple be aware that she was still present.

”Alright. Not today.”

Bette squeezed her lips, turning the corner to Tina’s home street.

”TK, did your mom cook that pie I like?” Alice asked.

”Yes” Tina replied quietly, throwing her head onto the back of her seat.

”Then I’m coming with you” Alice decided just as Bette pulled over to Tina’s house. Alice jumped out of the car, leaving the couple some time alone.

”Can I ask you something?”

The blonde nodded, staring ahead.

”What happened between us leaving The Planet and me coming back to the car? Your mood turned damp again? PMS and all that shit?”

Tina casted her a dirty stare. ”Don’t talk to me like that, Bette”

”Then what happened, Tina?”

”Okay. Alice cut her finger and I was searching for wipes. I thought I would find some in your glove compartment and when I opened it I found a bullet”

Bette stared at her girlfriend blankly before she turned away and lowered her head a bit.
