When she arrived she saw that Alice Pieszecki, a writer for Time Magazine was already there with her girlfriend, Tasha Williams, a police detective. Sitting across from her was Dana Fairbanks, a professional tennis player and her girlfriend, Laura Perkins, Kit’s head chef. Walking from the counter was Shane McCutcheon, professional camerawomen working with Tina at Shaolin Studios, where she worked as Department Head of Projects Development. Following her was her girlfriend, Carmen de la Pica Morales, one of the many producers she also worked with at the studios.

Tina went up to the counter and ordered her usual tea and fruit and granola breakfast and then went and sat down after getting her tea. She was greeted by many ‘good mornings’ and smiled at her friends as she sat down on the other side of Alice, her good friend. “So, have you heard from or seen Bette lately?” Alice asked her.

“No, I haven’t seen or heard from her in a while. I’ve finally come out of my hormonal rage and feel the need to apologize to her for behaving so dreadfully awful towards her. I can’t believe I’ve acted so horrible for so long.” Tina replied sadly.

“I don’t know, TK, she shouldn’t have had her lips on the artist. That’s just wrong!” Alice commented. “I wouldn’t go easy on her for that.”

“Al, honestly, I’m not innocent in all this. I’ve finally realized just how much I’ve pushed her away since the miscarriage. I have to take some of the blame for her straying, as I now realize she was trying in every way she could to reconnect with me and I ignored and rejected her at every instance, pushing her further away from me. I’ve avoided our relationship for far too long now. It’s now time to rectify the situation with her.      

I have to be honest with my self and her. I’m also to blame in all this mess we’re in. As it takes two to have  a relationship, it also takes two to tear it apart. All she did was kiss her… she stopped herself from going any further. She knows she did wrong, I finally get that. Her love tank was empty as I wasn’t filling it as I should’ve been and hadn’t been for far too long. Truthfully, I didn’t honor my commitment to her.”
