Bette: “we…? who else is on this?”

Louise: “I can’t say, but we are working against the clock…, now, don’t ask more questions, I want you to be ready, you will need to file for a leave of absence in your job…, just wait until I tell you when to do it”

Bette: “what about the rest of us who are in danger? What about my family?”

Louise: “I’ll do what I can for the others, and I’ll try to protect your family…, look…, I came to ask you something…, my sister is in a very bad shape, she is a little bit emotionally distressed, I need you to stay with her all the time before and after the wedding, this weekend, she is brokenhearted after all those victims, she feels guilty, she needs support…, emotional support, you know what I’m talking about, right? She needs the love of her life with her… now… otherwise, she may do something stupid”

Bette: “I need her too…, I could stay with her all the weekend…, I would like to stay with her forever, you know…, but she wouldn’t allow that…, what else are you going to do?”

Louise: “no questions… Bette, just stay with her as long as possible”

Bette: “okay”

Louise: “I will pick you up, so you don’t have to drive, she won’t see me I will be disguised as a limousine chauffeur”

Bette’s thoughts were interrupted by the entrance of Tina in the house, her radiant beauty, filled the room; differently than other times, when she didn’t use any makeup, this time she has made an exceptional effort for wearing a discrete but appropriate one, with the hopes to lift her spirit and Bette’s mood; she advanced in the room full of visitors, greeting most of them while scanning with her eyes the place looking for the other half of her heart, to her surprise, she found Bette a few feet; a soft but happy grin was forming on the brunette’s face, Tina raises her eyebrow twice at her, and Bette’s feelings stirred, she approached, and kissed the blonde on the cheek, suddenly they felt the connection, the familiarity, of old times
