Cody had just left Bette’s office after showing her Sasha’s phone records from the office phone she had used.

Tina was back at her office putting final touches on this month’s issue. Takes a deep breath as she sends all her work over for Peggy to approve before it goes to print. Waiting to get her confirmation that Peggy had received it. Tina put her suit jacket on and washed out her coffee cup. Her computer dings letting her know Peggy had it. She turns her computer off and grabs her purse. Walking out telling Jane she was leaving and she could go too.

What about Sasha?

I don’t really care she can figure out we’re gone. Good night Jane.

Jane has a raised eyebrow…. Ok, goodnight Tina.

Bette is sitting in her office typing up Sasha write up, to send to HR and Coping Peggy so it could be put into her file when James buzzes her intercom.

Yes James.

Tina is here to see you. James says

Bette smiles. Please send her in. Bette saves her work and closes it.

Tina knocks lightly then enters. Hi. Tina says softly looking at Bette then looks away shyly.

Bette thought it to be sexy and smiles. Hi yourself.

Tina sits on the end of the couch closest to Bette. Bette turns her chair disappointed Tina didn’t take her usual seat. I was wondering if you had a minute to talk. Tina asks

Yea sure, for you always. Not taking her eyes of Tina who has yet to look into her eyes.

Tina smiles to Bette’s answer which makes her feel even worse for her actions these past weeks. Bette seems to be there for her but she felt she wasn’t always there for Bette. I wanted to apologize again for Monday, but not only for Monday but for the weekend and this whole damn week.

I told…..

Tina cuts her off…. No, please let me finish….. Tina looks up into Bette’s eyes. I have kept to myself and I feel like I have punished you for my own stress and aggravations. And I’m sorry about that. I don’t wish to hurt you but I seem to keep doing it. Tina says half choking back her tears.
