“So little Tina, um…”
Ellie interjected with a serious look to Alice.
“Ellie.”
Alice was a bit caught off guard.
“Oh sorry, a little spunky, huh, just like your Mom. Well anyhow…Bette said you helped out and that you’re a really good artist and all. I bet you love this junk, huh?”
Ellie turned to Bette.
“When did you see my work?”
Tina jumped into the conversation.
“Sweetie, Bette saw the one I keep as my screen saver and asked if I had any other photos. That’s all.”
“Oh, well thanks for the compliment. I was just surprised.”
Bette responded quietly but sincerely.
“You know Ellie from what I’ve seen you are very talented.”
Ellie gave Bette a half smile, and commented.
“You’re just saying that for points with the kid.”
Bette turned and looked directly at Ellie.
“Ellie, I would never do that. I have seen so many artists get false hopes with mediocre talent, believe me I know. You are a talented artist. Still raw, but very talented. I’ll get my brownie points the old fashioned way. I’ll try and buy your affections. Okay?”
Ellie laughed.
“Okay, Sorry.’
Bette turned to Alice.
“Planning to open any other cans of worms or can I go back to work now.”
Bette turned to Joe.
“Joe, can I introduce you around the room?”
Tina and Ellie, looked at Bette with identical stunned expressions. Joe looked directly at Bette.
“Sure Bette, I’d like that, Thank you.”
Bette motioned for Joe to join her away from the group and then turned to the group.
“I’ll see you guys in a bit. Oh, and don’t forget to look at the artwork, especially you Helena.”
Bette and Joe toured the Gallery and she introduced him to all of the bigwigs in attendance. He was as masterful at working a room as she was and they had quickly completed their rounds when Bette turned to Joe and offered.
“Can I buy you a drink Mr. Wilson?
“I’d love that Ms. Porter, thank you.”
Bette led Joe to a quiet corner with a small table and two chairs. She signaled the bartender with two fingers. They took their seats and the bartender quickly brought two glasses of scotch.

Porter is so smooth. Can’t get enough. What does Tina have going on?? PPS
I love your frequent and longish posts. The story is so interesting. PPVS.
OOOOOOO A Surprise!!! I wanna know!
Seems that everything is going well for them, even with Joe and Bette. Bette was very charming and gracious to Joe and their conversation was to the point. Joe was right he didn’t stand a chance once Tina saw Bette and fell in love with her. At least Bette didn’t gloat over her victory, she handled the situation with much aplomb. Now I would like to know what Tina has planned for Bette. Thanks.
I love how gracious Bette was towards Joe. Now that’s a lady. I think I know the surprise :) I wonder if I’m right.
Hey D&A, I am just loving this tale of love and romance in later life for Bette and Tina. There is such an honest connection between Bette and Tina. They are both able to share their inner most emotions and reveal their true selves to one another. This bond shows the depth of their relationship.How great were Ellie and Joe at the benefit. It is so pleasing to read that this new family is taking care of its own. Sweet to have the Center iun the middle of this and doing such great work. More please. Your Loyal Fan.
Very smooth Mrs Porter. Tina is great I think she has organised a Christmas diner with all Bette’s friends and family as a surprise lol. Well it is just guess lol. I can’t wait to know what is going on lol.PPVS
Bette can charm anyone, can’t she? I’m not convinced Ellie’s fully there yet, but it’s only a matter of time, isn’t it? So, what kind of big surprise has Tina got planned for Bette? Great post, DnA, thanks! :)
These two are so sweet together. They’re so lucky that Ellie and Joe are so supportive. I can’t wait to see what Tina has planned to surprise Bette..
I love it!!!! Bette is so smooth and was just great with Joe. Ellie is still a little gun shy but she will come around soon I think. What is Tina up too? Thank you PPS
