Bette’s friend and a developing confidante stared at Tina with raised eyebrows. There was a hint of laughter and reservation behind the alert eyes that evaluated the question.
“Of course she does.”
Tina almost choked but Alice didn’t bother to notice. “She has to – with all the competition and search for paying clients, of course she has to have these parties all the time.”
Was she being purposefully obtuse? “Al, I meant”
Again Alice interrupted, “I know what you meant actually. It was just too easy to resist.”
"You mean date blondes?"
Tina rolled her eyes just so.
“You mean date straight people.”
“Well not only that.”
“You mean date blonde straight people who are guests of guests at her openings.”
“Alice.”
Sweetly, Bette’s old girlfriend teased, “Yes?”
“Has she?” The sober tone in the question was unmistakable.
“She’s dated her fair share.” The woman played with her glass of wine then continued, “I mean, she’s Bette you know…” It was all she needed to say.
Together they looked at the woman across the room. Bette was talking animatedly with a couple whose interest was captivated by a painting on the white wall. They were obviously enthralled by it and probably more so the expert who educated them on its finer points.
Tina sighed softly. She was so captivated by this woman herself. She swallowed the truth along with a gulp of air. Was she just another one in the line of people who fell for this distinctive brunette?
“Yeah she’s done this quite a bit,” Alice confirmed.
She looked at Tina, and saw the adoration in the gaze directed at her once girlfriend. After a few seconds of self-debate as to whether it was her place to say anything, she decided it was.
It had been a while but she saw what was happening to her artsy friend. What had already happened to the woman standing next to her.
“Hey Tina,” she started, “Bette’s done this before and it might take a little longer but… she’s gonna know soon enough.”
Tina glanced sideways to ask uneasily, “What are you talking about?"
With a serious tone to match the disclosure Alice revealed, “That she’s ready."
Tina looked at Alice.
Then at Bette.
And smiled.

i love these short one-offs, keep posting them if you can
I’d certainly say we’re lucky to get to read these chapters from you. I don’t know what it was that you tried to explain, but reading the post without an explanation I can say it was excellent. Thank you!
No need to explain – it was perfect. Thank you for posting.
Nothing to explain, I got it. There’s no bad writing here. thanks :)
Uncertainty, lack of confidence and trust.these are killers in a couple. I don’t like Tina feeling this way. She is better talk to Bette about it. Communication is the remedy in the couple success to live. Thank you for the post.
Nothing to explain. love this story. thank you.
Unfortunate that you felt compelled to explain; I thought it was concise and intriguing. I’d take these short chapters if it meant you posting regularly. Thanks for this (and the ones previous to it).
Have faith in your story-telling skill – it’s beautiful as is. Anyway, isn’t it a writer’s prerogative to leave us wondering? PPS!
Excellent.
