Tina:  I hate to say this but… you look so pale and weak…

Bette:  its gets better as the day goes on… trust me I wouldn’t be going to work if it didn’t get better…

Today Tina was not going to argue the point… she just couldn’t wait for the week to end… they both took their shower, Linda had Tessa all cleaned and ready for Tina to feed… they both dressed and were out the door… Tina went straight to Jill’s… no need for her to stop at “The Planet”… she was hoping and praying they would have an early day…

Jill had tea and bagels ready when Tina got there… they both signed on and were both surprised… they still had a re write… 

Jill:  oh well… what’s one more this week for the same FUCKING scene… 

Tina:  this is crazy… ok lets go in a totally different direction… FUCK them all…

They both worked and worked on the scene and even though they were happy with the last five re writes… this one wasn’t too bad… Jill hit the send button and they waited…

Tina:  time for lunch…

Across town at the CAC… Helena and Bette were walking through the main gallery… Patrick’s show was just about winding down… it was held over for 5 months… never had a show lasted more than 3 months, but this show broke records… even the artists who were going to follow this show pulled out, asking to be moved back a few months… who could blame them, no one wanted to follow Patrick’s show… but Bette and Helena had it all planned… the next show would be all new artists… they all jumped at the chance to follow Patrick’s show… so everything was falling into place…

Bette was very impressed with Helena… she was catching on… and her and James made Bette look even better… The CAC was now the place to show your work… the phones didn’t stop all day… even well established artists were begging to show their work… and the "Perks" they were sending Bette… and now that the word got around that Bette was expecting a baby… well gifts were pouring in daily…
