Carolyn was working on getting out the invitations. About a month ago she had sent out general announcements about the exhibit, but now she was using that mailing list which had special patrons.
Carolyn noticed that Eric was not on the list. Well, she thought, it was probably not a good idea to invite the man whose girlfriend was now with Bette. Then Carolyn frowned because she had noticed that Tina had not been around recently and she was afraid that something was wrong. And Bette was so glum most of the time. She had started ordering lunch for Bette because Tina never seemed to come by and Bette didn’t go out much. But maybe Bette’s tense attitude was a result of worrying about the exhibit.
Perhaps there was no problem that Tina had not called or come by the gallery. She may have just been calling Bette’s cell phone. And they might have been spending so much time together at night and on the weekends that Tina didn’t need to come by the gallery. Still.
Tina’s name was on the special invitation list, with her old address, so Carolyn addressed an envelope and put it with the other letters that would go out with the mail that afternoon. She didn’t know that Bette had forgotten that Tina’s name was on the list.
—————————————
After many hours of hard work, Bette and Carolyn took a break together by drinking coffee and relaxing in Carolyn’s office. Bette was in her stocking feet because she rarely wore her high heels in the office. She left the shoes in her office when she padded over to talk to Carolyn. The bell on the gallery door warned them when someone entered and Bette, if in Carolyn’s office, could scurry back to her own and don her shoes. Bette didn’t like to be without the heels in business dealings because they gave her a dominating height.
Carolyn prided herself on not prying into Bette’s personal activities. But it was difficult because she genuinely cared about her young boss. Carolyn thought that it would probably be all right to ask about Tina because she often asked about her and Bette’s friends.
“How’s Alice?” Carolyn asked, having decided to start with a less potentially explosive topic..

Tina should not go back until Betty truly knows, tells, and can show Tina how much she loves and appericate her physically and emotionally. KEEP HER STRONG AND SANE.
i am with Tinas mind..she cant run after Bette cuz Bette didnt know what she want..and get back to her is only be hurt twice..Bette need to suffer..be brave soldier Tina..lol..great chappy thanks :o)
ahhh… my favorite characters in the story (besides B and T of course)… is tina’s mind and heart! heh. Speaking of baseball, and since you mentioned chicago, I am from Houston, soooo GO ASTROS!
Still waiting patiently for you to update faster and make the chapters longer…. pretty please? with cherry on top?
Wait no no no. two important people 3 including shane tell her how much Bette loves her well love is blind I guess not a bitch.
awww i hope it works….thanx for the post…byenesss<33
That’s it, Tina! Follow Alice’s fishing theory — give Bette some sugarplum (does fish like sugarplum? whatever, you know what I mean, do you?), then hook her up tightly, hahahaha…
Shane is definitely a logician. Her technique on inference is extraordinary.
If I’m going with the flow, I hope you’re not Yolenda type, coz it seems she doesn’t like people who 100% agree with her, like me to you. =P
wonderful chappy. can feel the confusion of these two. who is gonna make the first move??? someone has to do something. love how you are writing this. love shane. well, actually all of them. its great how they are all telling tina the same thing. thanks.
tina forget about the heart and the mind right know because they are confusing the hell out of u. if bette is what u want go get her.
JFreez im from chicago and think the
White Sox are so boring that i dont care who wins.
i no everybody else is telling tina that bette loves her,but she wants to hear it also from bette.
If Tina capitulates and returns to Bette, what has changed? Of course, Shane is Yoda. She knows all. Going back to Bette is probably going to align all the stars in the cosmos and reorder the planets’ orbits around the sun and render all to be right with the world of Weho.
I’m from a place goegraphically between Houston and Chicago. I think a ‘Stros-WSox Series will be boring as hell, but I am glad for The Rocket. I’m sure the TV network execs are about to cut their own throats, as we have no Yankees or Red Sox in the classic.
Love this story. I’m coming around to admitting it. Is it cheating if I read other stories? Thanks!
Before it gets started, don’t any of you brand me as a Yankees or Red Sox lover.
I don’t watch baseball because they make too much money. Same for the NBA. Plus, they’re both boring games.
Okay then…
caught up and loved the chapters. I adore how you are writing the battle between heart and mind. It has happened to all of us. Something has got to give soon…..thanks! post soon
Good chapter. Well Tina need to think and do the right thing about her and Bette, and let see what’s next, thanks!
i’m caught in between Tina’s mind and heart…which is the ‘right’ thing one to go along with?….relationships..sigh..post soon(“,)
This story, that I was initially following only cursorily, has somehow crept up to become my most favorite story currently. I particulalry appreciate your writing style – important details are revealed in this seemingly off-hand manner; in fact, there aren’t any big revelations at all but all the nuances put together make for an intense portrayal of emotions. I can’t explain it, but I love your style of telling this story.
And those little details – padding about in stocking feet and rushing to don the high heels when someone comes in – are captured so well. Many thanks. I have added you to my list of fav authors.
I love the TEXAS RANGERS, didn’t miss one game. Glad that Houston is in the playoffs. Its a game of chance. Tina should go to the opening, She can take someone if she care to do so. Bette is stubborn, she needs to tell Tina how she feels/ Needs to learn to say I LOVE YOU TINA KENNARD. thanks
