“When?” Helena nervously replied

“Oh loss of memory” Dana said to Alice her eyes never leaving Helena’s who suddenly found her inactive phone very interesting

“W-w-what?” she replied

“Impaired speech” Alice added watching the heiress squirm under their scrutinizing stares “What’s your diagnosis doctor?” she turned to Dana who looked back at her

“Based the patients memory loss, lack of speech”

“Sweating profusely and most likely loss of appetite as she has not ordered yet” Alice added

“Excellent observation doctor, I’d say this woman is in love” Dana said and they both looked back at Helena who with widened eyes denied

“I AM NOT!”

“Relax Hels we’re just yanking your chain, but you were looking kinda cozy if you know what I mean” Alice playfully elbowed Dana in the stomach who kept her eyes on Helena

“What’s her name?”

“Dylan” Helena replied and caught Tina’s attention who, at the time, was still smooching with her girlfriend

“As in ‘Darfur Project’ Dylan Mooreland?  The new director?” Tina incredulously asked as Angie reached out to her from Shane’s lap.  She Angie picked up and gave her kiss before she handed her to Bette then looked back at Helena. 

“Hi boo” Bette happily placed Angie on her lap.

“We were just hanging out last night” Helena defended herself “It wasn’t as bad as this paparazzi made it out to be” Alice backed off from the table and resumed her website viewing not wanting to argue the contrary with Helena.

“Sure” Alice couldn’t help herself and said

Helena glared at her “Besides, she’s happily married to a man” by that time all eyes were on Helena

“She was pinging my gaydar last night” Alice quipped

“You too?” Helena said with an edge of hope in her voice

“Me three” Dana added who received a disbelieving glare from everyone at the table

“Okay maybe not, but something twitched” she said as she took a sip of coffee

“Do we need to run another operation here?” Shane asked

“No, we’ll leave this one alone guys” Tina ended the conversation “I gotta go, I’ll see you two later at home” she kissed her daughters head then gave Bette a lingering kiss.  “Love you”

“Love you too” Bette whispered back.

One by one they went to their respective work places until Bette and Angie were the only two left at the table.  They looked at each other and Bette sighed.

“Guess it’s just you and me pumpkin.”
