Bette made her way back home, and spent the whole drive at the house silently cursing herself. She couldn’t believe the hurtful words that escaped her mouth earlier that day. She shut her eyes closed and took a deep breath. She got out the limo and approached the front door. As she entered the house, she realize it was empty. She noticed Kit and asked her where everyone was and the kind woman explained Angie wanted to go out so Peggy suggested to go to the park, “And where’s Tina?”

            “Oh, I think she’s in the bedroom, she was pretty flushed when she entered the house, I hope she’s okay” Kit said with concern.

            “Okay, um, thanks Kit” she walked away as she gave the woman a last glance and smiled.

            “Oh my God she thanked me and smiled” Kit told to herself, stunned. Her boss never did such a thing. She always managed to treat her and all the other servants as they didn’t mean anything. She shook her head and made her way to the kitchen. In the meantime, Bette went upstairs and approached the bedroom door. She didn’t know whether to enter the room or not; she was struggling, trying to take the courage to face Tina and hoped she could accept her apology. She knocked gently, but Tina didn’t reply. She knocked again, this time more forceful, but she was met with silence once again, “Um, Tina?” she said with a smile voice, “Tina, please, can I talk to you? Please, listen I’m sorry. Come on, let me in and we’ll talk. Tina, please, I know…I—” she stopped when she felt someone tapping on her shoulder. She turned around and found herself facing Tina.

            “Why are you talking to the door?” she raised a brow.

            “I, um, I thought you were in the room and… well… uh” she stammered and talked quickly almost forgetting to breathe. She was talking, but she was looking down at the floor.

            “Bette…” Tina interrupted her.

            “Yes?” she lifted her eyes so she could look at her.

            “Breathe” she smirked.

Bette exhaled loudly and as both of them entered the room, she sat down on the bed, “Listen, I’m sorry”
