Ive been pretending to be in the bathroom for what felt like ages. They must think that I mustve really eaten something bad and I was doing major damage in Bettes bathroom. But in fact, they have forgotten all about me. I flushed the toilet three times, and if that wasnt enough I dont know what was. I came out of the bathroom coughing oh so loudly to break their staring at each other and finally see that someone else was in that room and it was me.

That was one bad sushi.

I didnt serve sushi.

Wellit smelled like it, looked like itsushi. So Tina Kennard this is Bette Porter and Bette this is Tina.

They shook hands and smiled at one another. And once again I have completely disappeared from the room.

So Bette, I was just interviewing Tina about what she thought of the event and all.

Just when Bette was about to say something, Eric entered the room.

There you are. Ms. Porter I just wanted to thank you in person for inviting us. I see youve met my Tina.

My Tina… Even if Im not Bette right then, I could still hear the ringing sound of the word my with tripled emphasis on it through Bettes ears. Ouch. I was liking the situation more and more. It was like a real soap opera unfolding right before my eyes and I am the main audience. I mean, the one and only audience. And ***** it, I love drama.

Youre very welcome. I hope you both will enjoy yourselves tonight. Feel free to ask away with questions.

Thanks again Ms. Porter.

Yeah. Pleasure meeting you, Bette

With one last look of uncertainty, Tina closed the door and proceeded outside hand in hand with lover Eric.

Meanwhile, there stood Bette and I in silence, and it wasnt the good silence like before. It was the weird and sad silence because she was probably thinking that all hope was gone. And this time there was that exact proof that she need not want to hear, my Tina.

She is so *****

So I gave her hope. And it was like switching an on button on because Bette suddenly came back to life.
