“I’m not judging” Kelly raised a hand in her defense “I’ve been through all that with the ex, but he was the one who got caught while I got away with it.”  Kelly laughed “Thank god for the State of New York and their standing on infidelity, not to mention the services of Andrews, Trent and Hoff best damn lawyer’s money can buy.”

“Sounds like things got ugly between the two of you” Bette smiled at her hoping to change the subject.

“Did you think I’d ever take the high road?”  Kelly feigned a look of shock.

“Not you” Bette shook her head and sipped her coffee “you always liked to get down and dirty.”

“You know me so well Porter” Kelly placed both elbows on the table and rested her chin on her hands.

“I don’t know you that well” Bette playfully countered.

“That was like fifteen years ago” Kelly placed her hands on her lap and laughed.

“Yes a long time ago” Bette emphasized as Franklin returned to the table.

“I have to get back to the office” Franklin put on his jacket “Mrs. Wentworth will you be joining me?”

“I’ll be right out you go on ahead” Kelly told him her eyes never leaving Bette’s.

“Okay then, we’ll see you Bette take your time thinking about our offer then get back to us.  Say hi to Tina for me” Franklin said.

“I will, thank you Franklin” Bette smiled as Franklin nodded then turned to leave.

“Who’s Tina?”  Kelly looked at Franklin’s retreating form then returned her attention to Bette.

“My partner” Bette smiled as Tina’s face came into mind followed by Angie’s adorable smile.

“I didn’t know you were with someone” Kelly said as she looked at the napkin she was toying with.

“You didn’t ask” Bette looked at her “we have a daughter, Angie.”

“I see” Kelly looked up from her napkin to look Bette “would this partner oppose you having dinner with me?”

“Actually she wouldn’t” Bette knew Tina wouldn’t mind her having dinner with an old friend “but I would.”

“Do I still make you nervous Bette?”  Kelly laughed but partially serious.  “It’s not like anything is going to happen.”
