PRESENT TIME.
(back at the beach)

Tina

Tina, forget it okay, you dont have to tell me anything, am sorry I asked, lets leave at that

Please Tina, you know I cant stand to see you cry

Tina could only cry harder, was she even apologizing?

Mommy, mommy

look at our castle

that did the trick for Tina, she immediately rub her face with her hands and took a couple of deep breaths to calm herself, just in time to hide her eyes behind the glasses and face the girls .

hey Mommy come to see it Jessie said

Tina jumped to her feet and then look down at Bette who was trying to ponder the best way to get up

Here let me help Tina said in raspy voice moving to her side and wrapping an arm around her, Bette made no fuss would have only done a worse situation.

They walked to the proud castle standing in the sand, Tina sat down with the girls while they explained to her the ins and outs of the design, Bette just stood there looking at the three of them, yeah the scar was still there, but she didnt mind much for now because only made her remember she had also a heart that was still beating.

They didnt had the chance to talk anymore, since the kids demanded attention, Tina had take them both to the secret place, that was where Bette wanted to take Jessie originally, it was a cave hidden in the rocks, Tina and Bette had found it once by mistake and for that moment this secluded bit of beach had become their favorite spot. Bette had thought she had forgotten about it, yeah wistful thinking she scold herself.

When they finally emerged from the rocks Bette was ready to go, Jessie not so much.

Mommy come on, Its so much fun here

I know Jess but we have to go is getting late
