Bette hurried to the other side and jumped into the driver’s seat. “So, we’re off to the Yoga Center,” Bette said nervously.
“Are you all right, Bette? Your eyes look a little swollen and red.”
“Oh, I went for a swim earlier today,” she lied, dismissing Tina’s concern.
They drove in silence. Tina wasn’t sure what she should say and Bette was so riddled with anxiety that she chose to concentrate on navigating the Saab through the streets of Los Angeles.
It became deafening, so Tina asked about work.
“Everything’s the same. It’s like working at the Post Office, Tee. The mail never goes away. As soon as we finish one exhibit, there are three more to plan. They’re pressuring me to sign that new contract, too. Peggy Peabody got them to make the offer. I’ve had it for several months, but I’m not sure. I’ve been ducking the lawyer’s calls.”
“What’s holding you back?”
“I’m thinking that I might want to go back to my gallery.” Bette glanced quickly at her to catch her reaction.
“Wow. That might be a good thing for you.”
“There’s no need to rush into it. I’ll sleep on it a few more days. I miss being a gallerist, though.” Bette gave a driver that cut her off, the finger before asking, “How’s the Center? Is everything in order to get started? I’d like to support it with a check.”
“That’s not necessary.”
“I want to show it and you my support.”
“Okay. Everything’s going well there. We’ve got pretty much a full, professional staff now. It’s going to be amazing.”
Bette turned her head to look at her lover whom she’d been separated from for weeks and grinned happily. “I’m glad it’s going so well.”
They drove in silence again. Bette turned off Larchmont Avenue onto one of the side streets and started looking for parking. It took a few passes around the block, but a space did open up and she snagged it. As she turned off the car, Tina reached into the back seat and grabbed the small gym bag that contained the clothes Bette had picked out. She turned and was just about to open the car door when Bette stopped her by lightly touching her thigh and holding her hand there.
