Bette stood by the window and looked up at the lights of the city. Yes, its all set. Opening night Gillian would fly out for the weekend. They had a famous artist from the LA area to open.
Bette, are you even listening to a word Im saying? Gillian had her hands on her hips.
Sure. Bette continued to stare as her mind drifted in and out of focus.
Then tell me what I just said.
Bette finally looked over at Gillian and let out a laugh. I cant. Im sorry. I just have so much on my mind right now.
I understand completely. Its not going to be the same out here without you but LA seems to be where youre truly happy. This is a good thing.
Can we call it an evening? Bette asked.
Absolutely. Do you want to get a drink?
Bette shook her head. Id love to but I am so tired and worn out from preparing for this move. I have about a hundred things left to do. Raincheck?
Theres not much time left for that.
True, but Im always good on my promises. Bette replied.
Yes you are. Gillian headed to the door. Will you lock up on your way out?
Sure. Have a good night.
Gillian left Bette alone in the dark. Bette pressed her forehead against the glass and watched her breath leave a mark on the window. It quickly faded as she walked away. She moved from room to room trying to take everything in. She felt a dull ache inside of her despite the excitement. In the dark everything seemed so much bigger and empty. As she headed towards the door, pulling it shut behind her, she swore she could hear her voice echo behind her.
Tina flopped onto her stomach and pulled a list off the night stand. She started crossing some things out and adding others to it. She put the pen in her mouth and chewed it, then jotted some other things down. On the top of the list she had written days ago, Call Bette. It remained untouched. She bit her lip and glanced over at the phone next to her. She picked it up and thought, Its now or never.
The phone rang several times before Tina got an answer. Hello? Bette sounded rushed.
Bette? Its Tina.
Silence filled the line while Bette tried hide her surprise and excitement.
Is this a bad time? Because I can call back –
No. Bette interrupted Tina. I just got in, but Im free. Whats up?
In the mood for some company?
Are you hiding in my apartment in New York? Bette joked.
No, I mean conversation company.
Im always in the mood.
I leave for LA soon.
Me too. Bette replied.
And Ive been thinking a lot about your offer… you know…
The house. Bette finished her thought.
Yes… the house. Tina was quiet for a few seconds.
Did you come up with an answer?
Yes.
And? Bette couldnt help but be anxious.
Ill take it.
Really? Bette excitement jumped through the phone and Tina smiled.
Under one condition, though.
Bettes heart dropped. What? She asked quietly, her voice slightly shaking.
Ill move into our old house only if you promise to share it with me again someday.
Someday? Bette didnt understand.
Not tomorrow or the next day, but when were ready. You have to promise to stay in LA. If you go far, you wont be able to keep up your end of the deal.
Bette smiled at Tinas logic. She realized Tina was afraid of her leaving. Tina, Im in LA for good. You dont need to worry about that.
I just wanted you to know that I could never live in that house unless you shared a bed with me again every night.
Then I guess we have something to work towards, huh?
Together. Tina said. Good night, Bette.
Night Tina.
Tina hung up the phone and closed her eyes. She grinned and grabbed her pen again. She took the list and scratched off Call Bette. At the bottom she added, Leave room for Bette.

Looking forward to reading it. No, I don’t think you’re an idiot…sending you a message through the board, though; I have an idea.

Aww…how nice…B&T making tiny forward movements.
Ahhh…boy am I glad I checked the site. A pleasure as usual. Thanks for the lovely chapter.
Your not an idiot… This is one of my favorite stories.
Yippee! That was just so effin perfect. You had me going there for a minute when Tina called Alice first.
Yeah, it was jumbled, but working through it was so worthwhile.
Thanks.
Oh more, more please – hurry back. I adore this story.
I love, love, love this series. This is a wonderful lead in to how they will work towards merging again. I found the last line “She took the list and scratched off “Call Bette.†At the bottom she added, “Leave room for Bette.— the most tender, sweet and endearing of all. Thank you for such a great chapter.
