“I hope you can forgive her for this because I know she will forgive you for your affair”

“If she does it’s just because she knows it’s easier for me to move on” Bette seemed sure about herself

“Is it?” Dana couldn’t believe it

Bette didn’t reply

Alice and Tina were entering a new restaurant in West Hollywood, Shane was already there waiting for them

“The Planet is like our second home, well, third, your place comes second, tell her Shane!”

“Bette’s place” Tina clarified

“Why didn’t you want to go to The Planet Tina?” Shane asked

“She was afraid of running into Bette” Alice said jokingly

“Your name’s Tina now? Tina said to Alice, and then she turned to Shane “I like it here”

“Whatever” Alice said

They ordered their meals and started talking

“I must assume that you wanted to get together to talk in Bette’s behalf” Tina said

“We’re your friends too Tina but we’re worried about your reluctance about letting Bette to share the custody of Angelica” Shane replied and looked at Alice to make her talk

“You always say that Angelica is her daughter too, so what’s the problem?”

“And she is but I don’t want my daughter to sleep somewhere else but home with me”

“Well, you don’t have another option and until she can adopt Angelica you’ll have to make an arrangement by yourselves and maybe once Bette adopts her you can set up a schedule with a lawyer” Alice said and Shane nudged her “What?”

“Are you out of your mind? Jesus Alice!” Shane turned to Tina “I know things will get better, you have to be patient”

“Thanks Shane but Alice is right, once Bette adopts Angelica she will have rights too but that won’t be a reason for not letting her adopt her daughter”

“Good to know” Shane said smiling trying to comfort Tina “Bette will realize the terrible mistake she’s making by punishing you so hard”

“Do you still like men?” Alice asked and Shane rolled her eyes

“I do” Tina said with some embarrassment and for Shane’s surprise

“Roll your eyes again Shane” Alice said coldly “You look good when you do that” to Tina “It’s ok, I understand, I’m bisexual too remember?”
