            Tina had afraid  the trip to Paris. She wanted her last week away of Erick had given her some answers. But all she had now was more questions. She had enjoyed the time spent with Bette Porter and had surprised herself by admitting her feelings to her best friend. On the other hand she loved Erick or at least thought so. One thing she knew for sure. She couldn’t stand anymore to feel ripped out the way she was now. So she came to Paris decided to work out the things with Erick otherwise she would open herself up with him.

            They had passed a wonderful Saturday with the promise of not ending anytime soon. They were on their suite, getting ready for dinner when a clerk of the hotel knocked on the door.

            “Can I help you?”

            “Yes Sir. We have a message for Miss Tina Kennard.”

            Tina came from behind Erick and took the envelope from the messenger’s hand while Erick provided him a tip.

            ‘Please, check e-mail inbox with urgency. Script problems.’

            “What’s wrong Tina?”

            “I don’t know. I need go to the cyber room of the hotel to check my e-mail. I will be back soon.”

            She kissed Erick softly on the lips and left the suite and took the lift to the main floor. She hated the idea of having to work right now, but she couldn’t complain after had been allowed to take two days off. With lucky it would be just a doubt or a minor change that it wouldn’t take so long and ruin their night. When Tina was already on the corridor that led her to the cyber room, she felt someone behind her and a hand on her shoulder. She thought that Erick had decided to join her so it was really a surprise to see Bette Porter standing there.

            “Bette? What are you doing in Paris?”

            “I have a big issue to resolve here.”

            “What a coincidence we met here. If we had arranged it wouldn’t turn out better.”

            “No, it wouldn’t. Can we talk Tina?”
