    Bette sat at her desk reading through purchase order requests. She rubbed her eyes tiredly, the pounding headache she had hours before had lessened to a constant dull pain centered at the bridge of her nose. Tension headaches.

    Bette is interrupted from her thoughts by a knock on her office door.

     

    Bette: Come in.

     

    The door slides open and James enters.

    1. you and cliffhangers…so Bette told Melvin off. I wouldhave loved to see that on the show during the 1st season. So I guess there’s more to Bette’s health than stress. Don’t make her too sick, but if you do, then let Tina provide TLC.
      Glad to hear ‘classic Bette’ is coming back. Helena’s gonna get it!
