“I don’t know, maybe my mother” they chuckle again as they enter the gallery. Bette was amazed by the level of art work that was being shown. It was exquisite

“This is amazing Helena, you’ve really landed on your feet haven’t you” Helena shrugs her shoulders

“So have you” Bette couldn’t disagree there. They had both successfully fulfilled their dreams and they were both very successful “The penthouse is upstairs” they go upstairs. It was spacious, nice decorated and furnished and had a nice view of the river “The spare bedroom is the first door on your right” Bette nods and takes her luggage into the spare bedroom. She takes her dress out of her case for tonight’s party. It was low cut strapless black satin dress with a black shoulder wrap. It was the perfect dress for tonight. She admires it and thinks about how she will look to Tina. Hopefully irresistibility gorgeous; she unpacks the rest of her things before going back into the lounge. Helena was sitting drinking a cup of coffee. She turns to see Bette “Hey”

“Hey” Bette sits down beside her and smiles. All she wanted was to be with Tina. To hold her, to kiss her, to make love to her was it too much ask for her happiness

“You all set for tonight?” Bette nods and breathes deeply “Fetch the perfect dress?” Bette nods again. She knew the dress she brought was the one to wear for this occasion. It was smart, comfortable not to mention it made her feel drop dead gorgeous when she wore it “Good, now what’s the game plan for tonight” Bette looks at Helena. Game plan? What game plan?

“I don’t have a game plan” Helena shakes her head in disbelief. Trust Bette not to have a game plan “Why would I need a game plan anyway?” Helena raises her eyebrows. Same old Bette Porter, running before she can even walk

“So you’re just going to walk to her and tell her how you feel” Bette nods and Helena sighs heavily “God Bette will you ever learn” Bette didn’t get what Helena meant “Ok does Tina have a favourite song?” Alice had briefed Bette on what Tina’s favourite things were, including her favourite song, before she left
