Yeah soon you will be at home on your phone and watching TV saying…bye hun I’ll see you later.

Oh stop it. She punches Bette on the arm. You’re not funny.

Bette grabs her and holds her tight. I know baby…Just trying to lighten the mood. I love you and I will call when I land ok…she kisses the top of Tina’s head then loosens her grip kissing her on the lips. Bye sweetie. I have to go. Bette turns and picks up her bag and goes through the tunnel to the jet. She couldn’t look back because then Tina would see her tears and she didn’t want to upset her more.

~~~~~

Ok I am here and the car is waiting. I will call you in a little bit after I have gotten settled in the hotel.

Ok…Bette?

Yes?

The kids said to tell you that they miss you.

Bette smiles…Tell them I miss them too. Ok talk to you in a few.

Ok bye. I love you.

I love you too. Bye sweetie.

Once Bette had made it to her room she talked with Tina then made an early night of it so she could get a fresh start on what she was there for.

At the musum the next Bette was welcomed but soon Bette saw thing where not going to be quite so easy. It was a long day of looking their place over and discussing what exactly they were wanting that Alice couldn’t provide. Bette was getting frustrated and telling herself Alice was right. This Wanda woman was a bitch…Don’t touch this. Don’t photo that…so many stipulations but it was a great musum to have in the magazine which put Miss Bitch at the center of  Bette’s mission. Win her over and I will get what I came for. Bette asks her to lunch the next day.

Back at the hotel after a day from hell Bette gets her computer setup and then callsTina on Skype at the time they had agreed on. Bette could hear Tina was moving around.

So your day went ok baby?

Yeah Tina hollers off screen…and how was yours?

Fine. They all seem to be ok except for one lady. She’s going to be a tough nut to crack but tomorrow I will get her to see what the magazine can do for them with national recognition. We should be able to come to a agreement. Bette notices Tina is nowhere to be seen. Babe I thought the whole idea of Skyping was for us to see each other…I miss you.
