“Oh, she’s fine. She’s been doing lots of interview articles for LA Magazine, so has been very busy spending time with the people she’s been writing about. She’s coming to the exhibit though.”:
Carolyn smiled. She had grown to genuinely like Alice. She was bawdy, aggressive and profane, but Carolyn knew she had a big heart and loved Bette.
“How about Tina? Haven’t seen her lately, either.” Carolyn said casually although she carefully watched Bette.
“She’s OK,” answered Bette after a slight pause. “Listen, have you gotten all the invitations out?”
So there was trouble, Carolyn thought. Bette had said almost nothing about Tina and changed the subject. She decided not to press. If her boss wanted to talk, she was there. She hoped Bette knew this.
As they drank coffee, they talked mostly about the upcoming exhibit. But then started to reminisce about the time they had worked together. Carolyn admitted that she had not been not too crazy about the art work at first but enjoyed Bette’s explanations of the art. She had come to realize that you could appreciate and understand art without necessarily liking it. Bette smiled at Carolyn’s admission.
“But sometimes, ever once in a while,” Carolyn confessed, “I see a work of art and I love it instantly. I don’t think about it, I don’t analyze it, I just love it.”
Carolyn went on to explain that she had seen something recently at the LA County Museum of Art that had impressed her that way.
Carolyn smiled at Bette, “Do you ever feel like that?”
Bette grinned. “Yeah, even with all those courses that taught me how to make highly educated evaluations of art, sometimes I just see a work of art and I think it’s great.”
“Half a cup?” Carolyn asked.
“Please.” said Bette holding out her coffee cup.
Carolyn poured Bette a half cup more of coffee.
Bette took a sip. “Then sometimes a work of art doesn’t impress me at first viewing, but it grows on me. And soon I really like it. You never know, so you have to keep an open mind.”
Bette smiled as she looked at her watch, finished her coffee and stood up. “Those reactions don’t happen too often. Well, back to work.”

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
