    Author Notes:

    It’s years after Provocations and Tina and Bette are in NY after running into each other on the red eye from LA. Hilarity ensues.

    “It’s an open show. Did you even read the advertisement I left you? It’s huge. Tina will never even know you’re there. You can go, watch her and leave.”

    “Tell me again why you think this is so important.”

    “You’ve never really seen ‘Tina the producer, Tina the hot shot movie exec’…. I think you might gain some interesting perspective watching her in her ‘element’ so to speak.”

    Bette frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean? Are you implying I don’t appreciate Tina’s success?”

    “Not appreciate exactly, I’m not sure you get it period. Tina is not the young woman you met at your gallery all those years ago.”

    “Obviously. I know that Helena.” Bette was getting annoyed. She’d only just met this woman. Granted they hit it off rather quickly, but she certainly didn’t need her to tell her how special Tina was.

    “So you’ve watched her on a set? Or securing script rights, choosing a director, putting together film backers with the right project? You’ve watched her work those kind of logistics and politics?”

    Bette paused. “Did Tina say anything to you?” she wondered.

    Helena spoke gently. “No Bette. She didn’t have to- remember- you and I are not so different. I made a lot of the same mistakes.”

    “Humor me. Go watch her at this show, and remember, she’s not even technically working. It won’t matter- in that environment- she’ll be working. Plus didn’t you say she’d be wearing a dress by the designer? Trust me, it’ll be an interesting exercise.”

    “We’ll see Helena. I admit I am curious. I’ve never been to a real fashion show. What was the other reason you called?”

    Helena grinned. “I need you to go shopping for a party dress of your own. And then I need you to meet the Peabody Helicopter Sunday morning at the Downtown Manhattan Heliport; it’s off the East River. Sonny will be ready for you at 11am.”

    Bette laughed. “Pretty hard up for a date Helena, having to fly me in.”

    “Careful, I’m not the one stalking my ex at a fashion show…”

    “Hey!”

    “Come on, you won’t be able to get a thing done in the city until Monday, you might as well come. It’s a great party.”

    1. This is such a good story. I always look for the updates. Thanks for posting as you can – I am always pleased to see a new post when you have time to write.

    2. How to answer that? And is Tina ready for that kind of exclusivity with Sam? I don’t think she is… The party at Fire Island is going to be interesting, isn’t it? Post soon, Zuzu. Thanks

    8. Great chapter! I love your Helena, she’s such fun and a good friend. Nudging Bette to see Tina in her work element and in a different light was perfect. I like Sam, here and in the series. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

    10. Thanks for continuing with your story, I had to re-read the previous chapters just now to remind me how wonderful your story is. I hope you continue….

    12. WOW!Complex, intense, poignant, funny, sad, etcetc. Beautifully paced. As a diehard TiBetter u know where I stand. I will be looking 4ward to the next chapter. I understand about 3 a.mers!!! Mine is a Youtube music addiction. Thank u. This is good.

    14. first of all, good to see you bacl…second: why is Sam so annoying? and i’m also wondering, why everyone else sees what B&T don’t? time for them to talk maybe LOL

    15. thats it sam… you better be worried… bette is back and tine will be going with her… nice try sam… your only worried now because bette is in town, if she wasn’t this never would of came up and please tina is not stupid.. she knows this as well.. love this… pps

    16. Ahhhh Zuzu…I’ve been waiting for an update to this story. This is sooo good. Don’t be too long posting the next one…I’m dying to know what happens next!

    17. It seems everyone is playing matchmaker and Sam is beginning to feel the uncertain ground. Hopefully Fire Island will bring some clarity to the “blind” women and get them talking.

    21. Glad that you are back. Maybe this is a good time for Tina to move onto another person like Bette. I have a feeling that some feathers are going to be ruffled by the end of the night.

    23. Thank you for updating. I have so missed this story. Great update – don’t take to long please to post again :) Can’t wait to read what happens next!
