I’m surprised… you’ve done a lot of studying theses days… and yes, everything you’ve said is correct… thought I don’t believe in what legend says… I cannot imagine Will or Jun with eighteen months singing and air… as a matter of fact,… if they had ever done it, her mother and her grandmother would have killed me… Can you imagine Angelica doing it? Asked cheerfully Helena.

No, but mainly because neither Tina or me had a taste for opera… I didn’t want to sound pretentious with everything I’ve said, I was just trying to be… well, I was trying not to be a burden for you this night. Bette felt how wonderful could be the freedom of telling someone that she had some limits and that she didn’t had the ultimate knowledge about everything.

You haven’t sound pretentious, you’ve sound… ok, you’ve sound pretentious, both women laughed at Helena’s confession but I know that was not your idea. You’ve just made your homework to understand what you’re about to watch… am I wrong?

Bette nodded, sometimes she couldn’t help herself from being an alpha woman. She was used to be always the one in control to everything, even the one that should be explaining a show, and not the one receiving the explanations about what was happening on stage. It was not like if she was used to date women under her cultural background, but she was used to solve doubts,… not to be the one with it.

Helena smiled knowing what Bette thought about not having total control in everything around her and she was happy to admit that Bette doing all that research was a nice compliment towards her. Helena considered as a compliment was Bette had done because she knew that one of the reasons that leaded Bette to google “Norma” had been to impress Helena balancing that a few days ago Bette had no idea about anything related to opera.
