Tina… thanks to her the link on Alice’s chart was going to be bigger… and none of them were ready to think about how Tina would react if Bette and Helena became a couple. Thanks that all the documents about Angelica adoption were signed and correctly done… Angelica was legally Bette’s daughter… if things were different maybe Tina… it was better not to think about it.

            From the moment they had agreed on going out on a date to Norma Bette had decided to do some research about opera and overall about that one in particular. She had learnt a lot of things about opera though Bette knew that theory would never make her like an opera. Bette knew the theory but the passion showed by Helena about opera was something that seemed to be a mistery for Bette Porter, who usually loved easily all kind of arts. Helena had also made some research by her own. She had showed Bette how much she loved opera but that was not enough; opera was not only a feeling a passion, opera was made of history and stories… and though to understand opera passion was the main need Helena knew that she had to explain that passion also in theory considering that most operas were based on cultural or historical moments. The truth to try to learn and to understand opera for both women was so necessary for them much more for the need of impressing the other than for the need of acquiring new know ledges.

            It was going to be a curious night…

            Past enemies being friends, trying to be maybe more than friends and even lovers.

            Two friends with opposite ideas of opera trying to find the middle point.

            Two alphas trying to catch the other.

            Two players.

            Two scared women with their hearts broken trying to find what could be a new love, a new life, a new passion to live life for…

            It was almost time for the date and both were scared to death… with too much questions on their minds, questions that none of them wanted to listen or to think about it. That night was only made for them. No kids, no thoughts about ex-wives, about friends or moms… It was only for Bette and Helena to enjoy the night and the company of one another.
