Beauty is only skin deep (part eleven)
Lillian was already situated at a table, sipping a glass of sherry and flirting with the waiter.
She looks comfortable, Bette commented.
Doesnt she? Tinas face turned a faint shade of red.
Mom.
Lillian looked up from her glass with a start. Tina! Oh, and you brought Bette along, how nice, she smiled.
Mom, Bette and I are –
Oh, honey, well have time to talk about you later. Theres something I really need to ask you, sweetie. Have a seat.
Here it comes, Tina thought, the big Q and A.
Tina and Bette sat down and ordered their meals.
Lillian, whereabouts do you reside?
Lillian threw back the last bit of sherry in her cup.
Im what youd call a drifter, darling. Never could make up my mind. So I decided one day that I didnt have to.
Bette slipped Tina a sideways glance. Was this woman for real? She looked almost fifty, maybe a little more or less. A drifter? No wonder Tina had been weary from the start.
Mom, you said you needed to ask me something important. What is it?
Honey, dont get upset. Its not good for the babies. Well, its like thisJeffrey –
Jeffrey? Youre still dating Jeffrey!? Tina dropped her napkin, and Bette leaned down to pick it up and set it aside on the table.
Yes, Jeffrey and I are still together.
But what about Dad? You said you desperately wanted him back!
Lillian motioned to the waiter for a refill.
Your father has made it very clear that he no longer wants anything to do with me.
So youre just giving up, then. You know him better than that. He never goes out without a good fight! Give it more time, Tina pleaded.
Bette was so wanting to leave.
Its Jeffrey, right? Hes the one who needs something. I wont support him in anything he does, mother. Never. Tina crossed her arms defiantly. She deeply regretted coming. Why did she ever let it get this far? If she was smart, shed have walked away the moment she had seen her. But how could she walk away from her own mother? What kind of daughter would she be?
How much do you need? Bette spoke up, to Tinas shock and surprise.

I just realized I had missed so much of this story. Lillian is such an ass. She’s done a horrible thing to her daugther, but I’m glad Bette is there to help Tina pick up the pieces.
