“I told Marcus and Francesca that we should talk some more after they meet with Bruce tomorrow. Do you want to have lunch with us?”

“Of course. I’ll make the arrangements. We can eat here so we can talk in privacy.”

“I’m sorry I snapped at you.”

“It’s OK you’re entitled. We caught you off guard. Maybe I should have said something.”

“No it was probably better that I didn’t know.  What do you want to do today?”

“Do you want to spend some time at the warehouse this afternoon? They just delivered the shipment from the London mansion.”

“Sure. Let’s go. By the way Tina decided to stay and fly back to L.A. with us on Friday. Is that OK?”

“Of course. I would love to spend some more time getting to know her. Maybe I should have her move out of the hotel and stay here with me.”

“I already offered that she stay at the loft with me. She’s moving her things this evening.”

“Really?  Is there more to this friendship than you’re telling me?”

“We’re just friends Peggy. She’s dating some guy named Eric.”

“Eric? Well it can’t be too serious since she’s never mentioned him.  So she’s bi-sexual?”

“She doesn’t like to be labeled. She just goes with what feels right. She’s attracted to both men and women.”

“So there is a chance that you two could become more than friends?”

“I don’t think I would fit into her lifestyle right now. We’re not on the same page when it comes to relationships.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“We just have different values. I can understand her attraction to the person and not the gender but she’s not monogamous. Eric is like her steady boyfriend but they have an open relationship where they both date other people.”

“I would think that an open relationship would be consensual and both partners would have to agree. Don’t you think that she would be monogamous in a committed relationship if she were with someone that didn’t want to date other people?”

“She said she’s been in committed relationships and she can be monogamous but she’s not ready to settle down. She likes it the way it is.”

“Does she want children?”

“I think maybe eventually but her career comes first.”
