Vignettes: Chapter 6
***
Bette was outside her gallery in New York City after a huge artist opening. Her work partner and half owner of the gallery just helped close up and they were ready to call it a night. Two cabs pulled up and they said their goodbyes, but before Bette stepped inside she had a sudden urge to turn around. When she looked over her shoulders, she gasped. A woman stood across the street with her back to Bette, laughing and walking with a group of women.
Lady, you coming or not? I aint got all night. The cab driver hollered out the window.
Bette quickly said, Go. She stood frozen on the sidewalk while the yellow cab sped away leaving her with only nervousness for company. Not daring to move, she watched the crowd move their way down the street, and she was sure that woman was Tina. Not only could she recognize her body anywhere, but it was the voice that caused Bette to stare. When they turned to cross the street in her direction, Bette still couldnt remove herself from her position. Her feet were cemented to the dirty New York sidewalk. It was then that Bette saw her face, Tinas face flushed with excitement and happiness in her city, her home. Why was Tina wandering in her territory?
Tina looked up as they reached the other side of the street and froze, her body paralyzed despite her friends attempts to keep pulling her along. They didnt understand what earthquake shook Tina from her feet to her head, but Bette did. Tina dropped her friends arms and stood there facing Bette, both speechless.
Tina, whats up? Lets go, well be late. One woman said, putting her arm around Tina but she shrugged it off. Bette wanted to take that womans arms and push them out of sight.
Tina? Everything ok? Another woman asked looking at Tinas ghost like complexion then glancing at Bette who held the same composure.
Im fine. She said looking at her friends. This is Bette. Her simple words were accompanied by wide eyes and silence.
Hi Tina. Bette breathed out slowly as she whispered.
