    Author Notes:

    A very interesting evening.

    She was seated across the table from Nickolas and leaned forward making it seem that they were alone and her words were meant only for him.

    “Nickolas, I am so sorry if I have misled you in any way.  I had no intention of doing any such thing but I do know that when we met I was very taken with your work and I very much wanted to have your work be displayed at my Gallery.  I may have omitted that there was another artist.   But please believe me I meant no disrespect or deception.  I usually have some pretty well known artists as my Showcase artist.  It brings in the more main stream audiences and patrons but to be honest my passion lies in introducing new and innovative artists to the LA art community.   Frankly Nickolas I am very well known in the art community for this trait.  So I guess my enthusiasm may have gotten away from me.  Finding an artist of your magnitude that is still very much unknown in this country, is a real coup for me and my excitement may have gotten away from me.”  Bette reached her hand and laid it on top of his, “Nicholas please except my sincere apology.”

    “Bette I think I understand the situation a bit better now and I no longer feel that you tried to manipulate me so I guess I accept the apology, but I still do not really like the fact that I am second to another artist.”

    Bette again looked at the handsome man and spoke directly and honestly. 

    “Well I thought that might be the case.  So since Andrea phoned this morning I have been trying to put together some amendments to your contract that might make you feel more comfortable with the situation.  First, my Showcase artist gets 10% more on all sales so I am prepared to amend your contract to offer you the same compensation.  Secondly we have redone our brochure to reflect a more equal standing between the Showcase and the Featured artist and Finally, I would like to offer you the Showcase artist spot at another show.  What do you say Nicholas?  Is there anything else that might make this more work from your point of view?

    4. Wow, absolutely lovely. They have really just charmed the pants off each other, and are falling so fast….”I’d go anywhere with you in that skirt. Can hardly wait for the next chapter. Thanks for posting.

    7. Well at least her husband respected her enough not to bring home disease to her. I don’t understand cheating. But I do respect his honesty with Tina. Great story. More Please :)

    12. I hope Tina will not be cold and distant with Bette the next morning. I really don’t want to see this Bette be hurt. James needs a raise for getting them a two bedroom suite! PPS

    13. Wow, I was only 3 chapters behind. I too moved around in my childhood and spent my later teens and twenties in Hawaii. Man, what a place. I believe that it is time for Bette to meet Ellie. Maybe Ellie can let Bette know that maybe it is time for her mom to move on and gain her (Tina) own happiness.

    14. Bette’s suit jacket is going to be ruined from all the tears. Thanks for this chapter. I love the way you have written Tina’s struggle. I’m so glad she was able to open up to Bette.

    15. I don’t think Bette is going to have to fight *too* hard to win Tina’s heart. Joe’s about to lose out, big time. And I gotta say, it’ll serve him right. Great update, thanks, D&A!
