“Well, the board has asked me to get in touch with you” Franklin added “not my suggestion of course, in regards to the future of the CAC.”

“What happened to that stick-up-the-ass you hired to replace me?” Bette chuckled.

“Um we didn’t renew his contract” Franklin laughingly admitted “it seemed that when it comes to art and putting up a great show, accountants just don’t cut it.”

“I see” Bette nodded “and what do you need from me?”

“Why don’t we get together for lunch and I could give you a proper proposal” Franklin seemed uncomfortable discussing things over the phone.

“Sure, I’ll have James check my schedule then he’ll get back to you.”  Bette hung up the phone and looked at it as if she had never seen if before.

Tina sat in office going over Jenny’s last minute changes to the script when she heard a knock at the door.  She looked up to see Jodie poke her head through then waved her in.

“Hey you” Tina stood up to greet her friend.

“Hey, thought I’d stop by to thank you for letting us come over at the last minute” Jodie walked in and hugged Tina.

“No problem” Tina gestured to a chair for her take “I hope Jenny didn’t give you a hard time.”

“She was very pleasant” Jodie admitted “the new characters are very interesting.”

“I hope you’re not offended by it?”  Tina looked for any sign of discomfort from Jodie.

“Actually I’m flattered by the whole thing” Jodie laughed “never thought in a million years that Bette and I would ever hook up.”

“I could see it happening” Tina admitted “but I know it would never last.”

“Why’s that?” Jodie was intrigued by the thought.

“Because we’re meant to be together” Tina simply told her.

“I know” Jodie looked down and sadly said “You remind me so much of my first love” she looked back up at Tina.  “I broke her heart so I can live my worry free non-monogamous life.”

“You were doing what was best for you” Tina tried to comfort Jodie.

“I was doing what I wanted to do” then Jodie added “more like who I wanted to do.”
