    The Burden of Control – Chapter 9

    Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves, she left the
    relative safety of the bathroom and headed back over to her table. She sees
    Bette sitting there, talking animatedly on her cell phone, one hand absently
    rubbing the bridge of her nose. Tina recognized the familiar gesture as one of
    irritation. Maybe now isn’t the right time to unload her little secret.

    Bette (on the phone) I don’t care James. Tell Franklin that it will get done when I get to it. Yes. No, tell
    himTell him that she dropped it in my ***** lap an hour ago. He can’t expect
    me to get it done by closing. I brought it with meFine put him through.(pauses)
    Franklin listenit will be on your desk first thing in the
    morning. No. I can’t. I’m busy at the moment. I understand the importanceno I
    can’t, I’m sorry. Look you’re yelling at the wrong person. No. This wasn’t my
    responsibilityyes, I’m well aware of my position. That’s unrealistic. Yes.
    Look if you needed it done by today, she should have given it to me before
    3 o’clock. I told you I had a meeting this afternoon. Frankly,
    that’s none of your business. I’m off the clock now. (looks up and sees Tina
    standing by the table) Uh look, I have to go. I’m sorry. Fine. Goodbye. (she
    hangs up and closes her eyes for a moment. She opens them and smiles as Tina
    once again sits across from her)

    Tina: Trouble?

    Bette: Nothing too bad.

    Tina: Franklin didn’t sound too happy.

    Bette: Yeah, well he wasn’t. Some extra paperwork was
    dumped on me last minute and I decided to table it until tonight. Apparently
    Franklin expected it on his desk before he left today.

    Tina: Because you came here to see me?

    Bette: (shrugs) It’s wasn’t that big a deal. I’ll just
    finish it when I get back to the house.

    Tina: You should have said. We could have made other
    arrangements.

    Bette: It’s ok, really. Ium wanted to see you.

    Tina: Oh.

    Bette: Look TinaI know that we have a lot to talk
    about. And I’m willing to discuss
    anything with you. I just

    Tina: Just what?

    Bette: I just wanted to know where I stand.

    Tina: I don’t understand what you mean.

    Bette: Well the last time we had a conversation, you
    wanted to discuss dividing our assets. Is that what this is? Are we here today
    to finalize our separation?
