There were also blank canvases, painting boards, fixtures piling in the corner of the room, an unfinished oil portrait sitting on top of them. Tina guessed it was something Bette had been working on. “Do you paint?” She asked, but was quite certain about the answer.

The brunette looked along to the direction and nodded. “A bit. I almost forget how long I’ve been away. That one’s now completely dry.” She toured about the room to check the painting and plopped herself on the sofa bed. “Oh I love this place. Wish grandma allowed me to come here instead of study at home.” Then she glanced over the desk, to the documents James mentioned placed perfectly neatly on it, she sighed and rubbed a hand on her face in frustration. “Ugh! I knew I should have been here more often. Now there’s a mountain of paper on my desk. This is great.”

“We should start now, Bette. If you want to go to the Planet tonight.” Tina smiled at the frowning girl. She sat down at Bette’s leather chair, feeling the cold fabric of the object and liking the coolness. “Now, what do I do?”

The brunette cutely pouted, supporting herself up from the sofa and tilted her head to the direction of the other girl. “Uh, let me just open up the computer. I have emails in and photographic version of some artists’ work. We’re gonna have to evaluate the benefit.”

“So you have several different artists to go through?” Tina reached to press the computer power button.

“Yeah, right now, I’m positive about David Cramer and that new media photographer Shirley Shore. We run up against Gruffuld , some little museums, CAC and others… no biggie.” Bette stretched a bit and rolled off the sofa, walked around the table, and stood next to the blonde, leaning a bit on the edge of the desk lazily and looking down at her. “You look good in my chair. Almost as good as I do.” She laughed jokingly, winking. “You’d make a sexy boss.” She bent down slightly to kiss her girl on the lips.

Tina rolled her eyes and laughed as well. She picked up a photographic album from the pile and read. “Jodi Lerner.”
