“I’m sure you can be convincing when you want to be” Bette said with a winning smile.  A knock at the door interrupted their little moment as Jodie stepped into the office.

“James said you wanted to see me” Jodie was taken aback by what she saw between the two women but pretended not to have noticed.

“Oh my god” Kelly stood up “you’re Jodie Lerner.  I am such a huge fan of your work.  I was there when they unveiled the piece in Central Park.”  Kelly smiled in genuine awe.

“I’m sorry” Jodie appreciated that Kelly made sure that she was close enough for the artist to read her lips, a little too close she had to admit.  “I don’t” she couldn’t place Kelly’s.

“Oh no, I should be apologizing” Kelly forgot that she was the new face “I’m Kelly Wentworth, Bette and I were together at Yale” Bette didn’t like the way Kelly said that in front of Jodie “I’m also one of the board members at the CAC” Kelly voice grew a couple of decibels as she kept talking, Jodie nodded but still not moved by her presence.

“I see” Jodie looked at Bette then smiled at Kelly.

“Professor Lerner and I were just about to start our meeting” Bette excused.

“This is so awesome meeting Jodie Lerner I can‘t wait to tell Lars” Kelly practically screamed in Jodie’s face.  “It was an honor to meet you” she looked back at Bette before she exited “call me.”  The door closed behind her before Bette could respond so she just let her go.

“Your ex needs a breath mint” Jodie’s comment made Bette laugh.  “What did you need to see me about?”

“First of all she’s not an ex.  Second, date, time and place of the show” Bette sat back and looked anxiously at the professor.

Kit stood outside of The Planet giving the sign tech specific instructions on what she needed done.  A silver G-box Mercedes pulled up on the red curb, clearly the ‘No Parking’ sign not visible to the driver.  Lords of Acid thumped from the vehicle before the driver shut off the ignition.

“Don’t scratch my car” Dawn Denbo got out and coldly warned a random by-passer on the sidewalk.  “Kitty” Dawn exclaimed.
