Tina: “baby, this is Eric, a friend…, Eric this is my girlfriend Bette”

Bette: “nice to meet you, Eric”

Eric was appalled; Tina is a lesbian and has a girlfriend as beautiful as her; he stuttered not knowing what to say.

Eric: “eh…, hmm…, uh…, you too…”

Smiling Bette looked at the additional sandwich and juice on the table.

Bette: “is that your juice honey?”

Tina: “hmm…, no, I will buy you lunch today, is my treat, bye, Eric”

The girls left the humiliated and shocked boy, to meet their friends at another table.

Now 

Bette: “you see, she never had anything with him…, and that day of our graduation, Tina was drunk, she was sad because I brought a girl to the reception and I touched the girl in every part of her body…, I wanted Tina to see it, I almost have public sex with her…, well, I think I really had, I was crazy, I was hurt, and I’m very sorry for what I did”

Louise: “you are a jackass, Bette, for less than that, I didn’t forgive some girl”

Bette: “what would you do if that someone tells you that she doesn’t love you anymore because she prefers a man? Someone for whom you left all the women in the world who were interested in you, look Louise, I was Tina’s first, and she was my first real girlfriend, we shape each other to fit on each other we try to make the other happy, that was our own happiness, seeing the other satisfied and pleased, our feelings reciprocated with requited love”

Louise was silent, no, that would be something Louise couldn’t cope with.

Louise: “fine…, you have a point… then Tina never liked men”

Bette: “yup that’s correct”

Louise: “okay, I’ll text you the browser you must use to send me the file”

While the scholars were talking with their colleagues in the safe house, Tasha arrived at her house. She was worn out, after leaving Alice’s house, she went to the Police station, to report herself to Jane, and learn about the unencrypted documents and the presence of the FBI, as well as, the new events in the Javits Center in Manhattan.

Jane has initially delegated her and Korsac to coordinate actions with the NYPD to rescue Dana, and Tasha knew what that could mean, no more opportunities to see Alice. But Tasha was fine with that, it’s better to cut the shit now than to be buried on it. But Jane was aware that something wrong happened with her officer and friend.
