Bette drove home slowly this timeshe was thinkingplanningfinally she turned parked in front of the grocery and went inside. Bette was going to make dinner for Tina this timeshe was coming home from work earlier tan Tina and wanted to surprise her. Their fight yesterday created tension between them and even though T took her to the hospital to treat Bettes knuckles they both did not say much. And so now Bette wandered the aislesunfamiliar territory. Even though Bette did accompany Tina on her shopping trips all she really did was sneak in candy bags that Tina would take out at the checking station. Bette click clacked din her heels down the dairy sectionthen turned right into the pasta side, yespausing she looked at the wide varieties,she would make pasta. In truth it was the only thing Bette could make and so she chose a bag of bow-shaped ones and chose spicy tomato saucedefinitely had to be spicy.
After what seemed like hours Bette drove homehow did Tina do it…she felt respect for her Twhat a hard worker. She drove past her therapy buildingLeila canceled due to personal mattersit was kind of weird think that therapists had their own lives.
