Bette: I opened the gallery, simply because I love art, and I want to share beautiful art with anyone who wants to be a part of it. It is a little gallery, and I am being wooed by the California Arts Center, but not sure I want to run a gallery that is not my own, but in the same breath, the career opportunities are so much more running a larger gallery. I am still just thinking about it, not sure what avenue I will go down. If I decide to pursue the CAC, I would sell my little gallery to Chris. She has been there with me from the beginning and understands the purpose of my little gallery and is content with it. What about you Tina?

Tina: well I am a developer for Alpha Ville, and I think I am pretty good at it. I am not sure if it is what I want to do, I really love kids, and would like to do something to help out children, just have not figured out what that is yet.
Bette: how long have you and Eric been together? He is a very nice man, and has extremely good tastein art…and if I may be so blunt as to say and women. Is it serious?

Tina: Eric is a very nice man, and yes loves art. He introduced me to the beauty of art. We have been dating around 6 months. Is it serious? I am not sure, things at this point are less then clear. Trust me on that. Why did you kiss me?

Bette put her hand on top of Tinas. She looked into her eyes… T. I wanted to feel your lips on my own, it was something I just needed to do, and I hope that I did not offend you, but, T, I find you very attractive. I know you are straight, but I feel you ought to know that. I apologize if I have caused you any unnecessary pain, it was as if I was being pulled to you by a stronger force.

Tina: I am here, arent I? I am a little confused with the fact that I liked it and found myself responding. I wonder all the time what that means. It scares me. But I dont want to walk away. I guess, we just take one step at a time. Can you handle me not knowing what I want?

Bette: as long as you can handle knowing what I want.
