And did you tell her that before you left?

Bette hung her head a swallowed hard and shook her head no.

Elizabeth Porter! You let that poor girl think she had a chance with you that you returned the Love she had for you?

Bette began to cry… I couldn’t hurt her right then I wasn’t in mind frame to do that to her. I had planned to call her after I got back and tell her it wasn’t going to work.

And you didn’t?

No then work got busy. Then I met Tina and my mind went elsewhere, But I did accidently run in to her in New York  we had a drink and I told her I had met someone. She was pissed but I don’t think she believed me. Until tonight.

So what all happened tonight?…Kit says with her arms crossed .

Tina and I went to Milk for a few drinks and dancing just a light evening wasn’t going to stay out long we have work tomorrow. She got us a table, I talked with Shane, we danced then I went for drinks. Shy was at the bar looking like she had a few already. Ask if she was the one who stole me away from her and she had seen the ring on Tina’s finger which I took crushed her. And I felt sorry for her I did like being with her. She was a good friend I didn’t like seeing her hurt. So I guess it showed on my face and Shy touched my hand and put her hand on my waist at some point …And

And Tina saw the whole thing? Kit says shaking her head in disappointment of her baby sister.

Bette seeing Kit’s reaction ….Don’t give me that look Kit I feel bad enough as it is, I seem to hurt two people I care about tonight with one fell swoop. I know I should have never went to Shy’s that weekend, I knew I wasn’t in a good place but I just couldn’t for the life of me stop it. Then I couldn’t tell her the truth. She was trying so hard to take care of me and show her love for me something I just couldn’t give in return.
