Tina looked up at Bette in amazement. It made Bette feel a bit uncomfortable.

“What?” Bette asked anxiously – had she said something wrong?

“It’s just… Tiffani said the very same thing, you know. If I would have left her for you.”

“What did you say?”

“I said I don’t know. Babe, I really really love you, and there is nothing I want more than to be with you and slap myself so hard for letting you go. I so don’t deserve to have you back, but it makes me more than happy. If Tiffani had still been alive, I just don’t know what I would have done. I would have had the same feelings either way.”

“T, let’s just… well, it happened, you know. And we are together now, and that’s the only thing that matters.”

Tina Kennard POV

Tina arrived at her work after her lunch break with Bette. She just got into her office as her cellphone rang. She saw it was Bette and picked up immediately, smiling. Bette had taken care of her so well that weekend, she was so lucky to have her.

“Hi, Bette, babe, miss me already?” She asked in her sweetest voice.

“For a matter of fact I do, T, but it’s something else I called you for.” She sounded hurried, in a rush, and I was worried.

“Is everything okay?”

“T, can you manage to escape there? I need as much people as possible.”

“What’s going on?”

“You know about this exposition, right? The one that raised so much reactions? With all the people calling it pornography?”

“Yeah…”

“There are a bunch of activists outside blocking the people that are supposed to bring the artworks in. We need as much people as possible.”

“I’ll be right there, Bette.”

“Thanks.”

Tina made sure everything was alright and quickly went down to the gallery. She saw Dana was already there and she had rung Alice herself, who was on the way. She had also called Shane, Helena and Max. She saw Kit and Lara as well.

She went straight to Bette, who looked relieved that Tina was there.

“Listen, Tina, we have to clasp our arms together so people can pass.” She looked up and waved at someone, I turned around and saw it were Alice, Shane, Helena and Max. Some more people showed up to help us.
