"Oh come on Tina, did you see the way she looked at you this morning? You have her wrapped around your finger!" Helena said.

"That’s why I can’t do this!" Tina cried.

"Oh just shut it," Helena scoffed. She handed her a baby blue composition notebook, "if you have issues write it out because if you back out now I guarantee you she will destroy us."

Tina dropped her head in defeat.

"Good, now I’ve written a love letter in your name, she will love it," Helena said.

"Helena…"

The door swung open and Bette walked in looking dazed.

"Alright Tina, I’ll get to work on that report right away," Helena said walking out of the office.

"Hel…" Tina called out but Helena shut the door behind her. She cleared her throat nervously and sat back in her chair.

"Tina, are you alright?" Bette said.

"Y-yeah I’m fine," Tina said.

Bette walked towards her and sat down on the desk beside her, "have you been crying?"

"J-just stressed out is all," Tina said.

Bette’s face turned into a worried expression, "you don’t regret…"

"No, absolutely not!" Tina said immediately. "Don’t worry your pretty little head about it."

Bette blushed, "pretty? No need to lie T."

"Hey," Tina said standing up, "stop seeing yourself that way. You need to see that you are beautiful and amazing."

"I wish I could see what you see," Bette said averting her gaze.

Tina’s heart fluttered. She couldn’t even begin to imagine what this poor woman has gone through. She grabbed Bette’s chin and moved her face towards her. She kissed her lips gently then smiled, "don’t ever listen to what anybody else has to say. Your own opinion of yourself is all that matters."

Bette smiled shyly. Her phone ringing snapped her out of the trance. "Oh excuse me."

As Bette walked out of the office to answer the phone Tina sat down in front of her journal with a look of distress on her face and began writing.

Bette stepped into her office and answered the phone, "hello?"

"Hey Bette," came Shane’s voice.

"Hey Shane, where were you all night I had so much to tell you!" Bette said excitedly.
