    Author Notes:

    Tina gets an offer…

     

    After Alice’s departure, Bette had gone for another round of drinks. She returned with cocktails and a few carefully wrapped canapés in hand, then she and Tina spent the better part of the next hour talking, joking, and slipping to the edge of tipsiness. Bette told Tina all about her gallery back in New York – her clientele, her locale, and the show she was organizing for an up-and-coming painter out of Brooklyn that she had taken under her wing, so to speak. Tina found it all highly interesting, and was drawn into a deeper discussion on the subject of art. Tina preferred the classical stuff, she said – portraits and landscapes and the like. The conversation somehow returned to film again, with Bette not quite buying Tina’s assertion that film was the greatest and most relatable art form there was, and a superior form of communication because every film, no matter how bad, touched on at least one universal theme in the human experience.

    “I don’t know, Tina,” Bette said with a dubious smile. “There are so many shitty movies churned out every year – no offense – that I don’t even bother going anymore.”

    Tina chuckled. “None taken. I just think it’s easier for the average person to relate to films than it is for them to understand abstract art. You take a guy off the street and have him watch The Godfather, and he’s going to get it. You sit the same person in front on a canvas randomly splattered with paint and they’re going to wonder what the hell they’re looking at.”

    Bette tipped her head back and laughed. “Okay, you’ve got a point there. I suppose you think the art world is terribly pretentious.”

    Tina didn’t respond, just raised one shoulder, in a silent ‘You said it, not me’ gesture. “Sorry.” She didn’t want to be rude, after all.

    “Don’t be. You’re right – it is pretentious. But we kind of have to be, because there’s only a very small group of people in the world who passionately care about art anymore: the artists themselves and people like me. We’re just trying to protect… whatever you want to call it, art is too general a term, I think… but we’re trying to keep it alive. Consider the pretension a kind of defense against indifference.”

    1. Okay…Shane needs to make a hasty exit and leave Tina to work on her fears. Those thoughts she was having about being alone with Bette…really unhealthy ones. She definitely needs to get more comfortable around her! :>) PPS

    2. Patio here we come,Take a cuddle blanket. My get cold,give Tina some sweats eat dtink and get to know each other better. Shane needs to learn what a bedroon is for. Bette should know to call and let her know she is in town

    6. Damn, Shane just ruined a lovely moment and a potential lovely moment that could have rewulted in them being quite cozy. Mayne all is not lost, they could adjourn to the patio and have drinks and food by the pool. Bette could also offer Tina a pair of sweats, etc so that they could be more comfortable for the rest of the evening. After all, they are similar in size etc, and Tina’s dress is a little snug. Will it accomodate more drinks and chinese food? Can hardly wait for the next chapter. PPS

    7. I am really enjoying your story. Really good pacing with your action an dialogue. Especially like “hearing” Tina’s POV and that she could also see Bette was nervous…however, Tina’s Brush off of the drunken guys hitting on her struck me as a little ruder than may have been intended….looking forward to more.Thank you so much for sharing…
