“I understand Kit. I will do what I can for her. Thanks for calling me back you have cleared up some questions I had.”

“Tina you call any time, you know I always thought of you as my sister too. I’m sorry we did not stay in touch.”

“Kit it was just as much my fault…when I broke up with Bette I needed to get away from every thing and every one that reminded me of her.”

“I left L. A. and for months my friends did not know where I was at. Kit I was so scared Bette would come looking and find me. I knew if I had any hope of starting over with out her I had to stay away.”

Chuckling a little Tina said, “you know what the gang always said can’t resist that Porter charm. Well…it was true Kit I couldn’t and I knew it.”

“Yeah my sister could be pretty persuasive if she wanted to be.”

“Listen Kit it is getting late here and I have to work in the morning, but you can call me after 8 tomorrow night. It’s really been good talking to you. I’ve missed you Kit. Oh Kit one more thing…don’t tell the gang you have talked with me. If Alice is like she use to be she will want all the details and Bette would be so humiliated. Besides I’m not ready to do any explaining either.”

“I will call tomorrow for sure Tina and I have missed you too. Don’t worry I am not telling any body a thing.”

“Good night Tina.”

“Bye”

Tina closed her phone, locked all the doors, and made her way down the hall to the bed. It had been such a long day and she was exhausted. Her last thought before she drifted off to sleep was of Bette.

Chapter 5

Tina took in a deep breath before she opened the door to the conference room. She knew once she stepped inside her whole life would change.

Letting out a long breath she pasted a smile on her face and up the spring of confidence which she didn’t feel into her step as she entered the room.
