14 months after their breakup Tina and Bette’s life had been changed forever, Tina is in a committed relationship with Helena for 8 months.  Bette refinanced their home to give Tina all the money owed from the emotional but fair settlement, Bette told her attorney to her whatever she wanted.  Tina had moved on with her life.  Bette on the other hand was at a standstill, not willing to accept Tina was gone from her life forever.  Her Foxworthy visits over the past 8 months helped her work out many of the parts of her personality that were directly responsible for the demise of their relationship. 

Sitting at her desk with her head in her hands contemplating her next art show James came over the intercom.

James: Bette there is an Audrey Evettes from UCLA on line one

 Bette: Thanks James

 She was blessed he was willing to leave CAC and come work for her, they made a great team. 

Bette: Hello this is Bette Porter (in a business but friendly tone)

Audrey: Hi Bette, My name is Audrey Evettes, the new Director of the Art department at the UCLA.

Bette:  Hi! Audrey, I heard they had a new art director,  how can I help you?

Audrey: I was thinking of exposing students to several galleries in the area to give them another view of the art world and would like to make an appointment to share ideas and schedule a time for them to visit your gallery.

Bette: That’s a wonderful idea. I’m having an art show tomorrow night if you would like to come

Audrey: Great, I would love to visit your gallery

Bette: It’s from 6-9 I will leave your name at the door do you need directions?

Audrey: I’m sure I can find it see you tomorrow night, thank you

Bette: I look forward to meeting you Audrey

All the art was in its place wine and food set out, James and Bette were ready to open the show.  Bette was pleased with all the art displays.  The first show they had was not the greatest success and Bette was hoping this one might have more guests.
