"FINE" Bette retorted her temper getting the better of her. "You have my details, and number.Call me.If you can be bothered to!"

Bette stormed out of the studio, forcefully throwing her rucksack into the back of the Land Rover, before flinging the car door open and jumping inside. She rested her head against the cool glass of the window, and turning slightly looked across at the studio, instantly regretting her actions but too proud to make the move she knew she should. She spotted a movement by the window, and saw Tina lean her hand against the glass as she looked out anxiously hoping Bette would get back out of the Land Rover and put things right.

Bette looked across at Vual, and gave him a slight nod.

Tina watched as the car moved slowly away from the compound, staring intently as she watched the dust trail moved further and further into the distance, carrying her love with it.

She walked back toward the middle of the room, her shoulders hunched in defeat. God, how could I be so stupid she thought. She walked to the edge of the bed and sat in the spot that Bette had sat just a few minutes earlier. She looked at the pillow, now removed from it's cover, and smiled sadly as she realised what Bette had done. She lifted the pillow and threw it back to it's rightful spot at the top of the bed, suddenly noticing something beneath it.

Under the pillow there was a note, attached to one of the decorative hair clips Bette had worn during her stay.

T,

I will think of nothing but you every day that we are apart.

I will sleep with your pillowcase on my pillow so that I can smell your sweet scent.

Wear my hairclip, and only remove it when you lay your head down to sleep.

When you open the clasp, remember that I am right next to you on that pillow, and hope that we can at least be together in our dreams.

I love you

Bxxx

Tina's hand flew to her mouth to stifle her cry. "Bette" she whispered. "Baby I can't let us leave things like this. I love you baby."

She quickly put the hair clip into her breast pocket, and pausing only to grab her car keys flew out of the door, and toward her Car.
