Dana: “That’s good to hear since she seems to really like you too. Don’t let Al scare you.” She said trying to reassure Tina that she wasn’t being ganged up on.

Tina: “Okay thanks Dana.”

After Bette and Kit arrived back with the drinks they continued in conversation. Over the course of a few hours the group decided that they really liked Tina and thought that she could be good for Bette. The group slowly got smaller as Kit had to go back to work, Dana had to go to a meeting with sponsors, Alice had to get back to her writing and Shane had to get to a Wax for a client. By this time it was way after lunch and Bette and Tina decided they wanted to go. Everyone said their goodbyes and headed for their cars. Bette helped Tina in again and then got in herself. When Bette pulled in front of a grocery store Tina spoke up.

Tina: “I thought that we were going to an art gallery?” She asked Bette who was exiting the car door.

By the time Tina unfastened her seat belt Bette had already opened the passenger side door. Tina stepped out as Bette answered her.

Bette: “I decided that I would rather us just eat dinner and spend more time sitting around together if that’s alright with you.” She hoped it would be okay since she had just assumed.

Tina: “Yeah that just fine with me. I would have fun doing anything with you but I like that idea better.” She said as they started to walk towards the entrance.

Bette took Tina’s hand after they moved from the car and started walking inside.

Bette: “Is this okay?” She asked referring to their clasped hands.

Tina: “It’s more than okay.” She smiled at her.

They got a grocery cart and started wandering the aisles. Bette told her that even though she told her that she couldn’t cook the one thing that she could cook was steaks and she wanted to cook them for Tina. They got all the ingredients and side dishes and checked out. When they got back to Tina’s house they unloaded everything. They still had a few hours before they wanted to eat so Bette marinated the meat and then they went and sat on the couch and watched a movie. After the movie was over they turned it off and just enjoyed each others company.
