“Where are we going?” she asked as she nosed the car onto the 405.
“The Standard” answered Tina as she watched the familiar surroundings passing by.
“How long are you in town, T?”
After a pause, Tina turned to Shane and asked, “How is everyone?” intentionally sidestepping the question.
“Uh, doing fine, you know, same ol’ same ol’.”
“Hmm” said Tina as she resumed her view of the sights of the freeway.
“And you, T? How are you doing?”
“I’m ok” she said. “Just taking things one day at a time.”
“Probably not a bad idea if you ask me” chuckled Shane.
“And you?” asked Tina. “What’s been going on with you?”
“Well, you know. Work has been busy and Carmen”
“Carmen? The two of you are still together?” Tina asked incredulously.
“Well, yeah” she answered shyly.
“Wow” she exclaimed. “This has got to be a record!” she laughed.
“For me I’d imagine it is.”
“So, is she the one Shane?”
“The one?” she pondered as she focused on the traffic ahead of her. “I don’t know about that T. I mean, does anyone ever know exactly who ‘The One’ is?”
“Do you really want me to answer that, Shane?” Tina asked sadly.
“No” she quickly said, realizing her faux pas. “Probably not, T.”
A silence fell between the two friends, the Pink Elephant that had squeezed into the small car with them begging to be noticed.
“So” said Tina.
“So” smiled Shane as she exited the 405.
“How is she?” she whispered, studying her hands that were folded in her lap.
“She?” said Shane.
“Bette” she exhaled, almost fearful of the answer. Terrified to hear that she was not doing well but more scared to learn that she was.
“How is she?” she asked, finally looking up to watch Shane’s response.
“She’s doing ok, Tina.”
“What does that mean, ok?”
“Just that. She’s doing ok.”
Making their way towards the hotel, Tina wanted to know so much more but wasn’t sure how much she could handle at this point in time.
“Shane?”
“Yeah?”
“Can you stay with me for a bit? Have a drink with me?”
“Of course, Tina. Whatever you need” she answered as she placed a hand on her knee in support.
“There’s just so much more that I want to know, but-”
“T, really. It’s ok. We’ll talk in a little bit. Why don’t you just relax? We should be at the hotel in about 15 minutes so just lay back and give your mind a rest for now. Ok?”
Tina looked over at Shane and simply nodded.
Resting her head against the headrest, she thought to herself, “She’s ok, Bette’s ok.”
The closer they got to

SKIPPY YOU ROCK!!!
I can see this a being a continuation of great storytelling!!! Whatever Tina may have in mind it’s got to be good, how else will Bette even entertain the idea of them together again…how will she ever be able to trust Tina not to turn and run when it gets tough…Looks like the tables will be a bit turned…Hmmmm
Pls don’t make us wait too long for the next installment….PLLLSSSEEE
walked into Bette’s office and placed a glass of wine next to her elevated feet……..My next job had better include an assistant who brings me wine!!
Anyway, I agree with BTF….OK for Bette means she is doing horribly; but trying to maintain. Even Tina should know that.
Love that Shane is there for T. Come to think of it, Shane has always been there.
Skip, I’ll be with you to the finale….I cant wait til they come face 2 face………QQg 4wrd 2 the next 1

I am realy liking the new take on this one and I hope they get back together faster even though they have alot to talke about befor anything happens. Can’t wait to see where you take them.
“How is She”, who, Bette. Kinda hard to get out. Shane saying Bette is doing OK, means our Bette is not good, not good at all. Looking forward to see where you take us, and for our girls to see each other.
Tina, and LA, and Bette, Oh My!
Somebody pass the popcorn, my eyes are glued to the screen.

Skip, I can feel the inner turmoil that Tina is going through. I like that she had Shane pick her up to get a gauge on her friends and Bette. I’m looking forward to their conversation.
I am loving this story. Please post soon. The 2 paths which B&T took after the breakup are quite interesting, I look forward to what you’ve got in store for us.
