“They’re happy alright” Bette placed her cup back on the table “they’re just happy with other women as well”

“Are they swingers?” Alice’s jaw dropped

“Who knows with those two” Bette chuckled “T and I went on a double date with them and they both hit on us at separate times”

“What?” Alice leaned with both elbows on the table

“Phyllis hit on me at the table while Joyce worked Tina in the restroom” Bette laughed at the memory “T put Joyce in her place, while Phyllis hides from sexual harassment charges.”

“My god Bette, I was sitting on a gossip mine and you didn’t say anything” Alice sat and looked back the door that Phyllis exited through a few minutes ago “I mean she was sitting right here”

“You’re not going to pursue this Alice” Bette regretted saying anything to her friend “I’m serious do not put anything in print”

“Fine” Alice gave up what could’ve been a hot story “So was she all like ‘Um Dean Porter can I see you in my office for some extra curricular activities’” she said in her best Phyllis impersonation.

“Oh god shut up!” Bette had a bitter look “you sound just like her”

“That’s how she came on to you” Alice laughed

“No, but you sound just like her.  It’s eerie” Bette shivered from the thought

“Whatever” Alice laughed at her friend’s discomfort

“Hey guys” Dana joined them

“Hey Dane” Bette greeted “You look beautiful today”

“Thanks you guys” Dana bashfully replied “my hair’s starting to grow back” she removed the cap that she wore to reveal a mat of hair “now I can just be a boob-less freak.”  She looked down at the cap in her hands “but I’m still alive” she gazed happily at her friends.

“That’s all we can ever ask for” Alice took Dana’s hand in her own as Bette took Dana’s other hand.

“Thank you” Dana said in tears “I wouldn’t have been strong enough to deal with it if it weren’t for you guys”

“That’s what we’re here for Dana” Bette gave her hand a squeeze

“Hey” Alice said “How’s Lara doing?”
