Revisionist History chapter 9
Just then, the waiter approached the table to take their order. Melvin carried the conversation for the rest of the evening, as Tina stewed about her now discovered lie, and Bette processed why Tina felt she couldnt share the truth with her earlier that afternoon.
Helena Peabody is not what I expected her to be at all Bette thought.
_______________
Bette and Tina were on their way back home after having deposited Bettes father back at his hotel.
Bette? Tina asked.
Yes. Bette responded, with no indication of what she was feeling.
Why why why didnt I just tell her I had accepted the offer? thought Tina. It made it so much worse for her to hear it from Helena
The pause as Tina was thinking weighed on their shoulders.
Thats the first time Ive ever felt as though your father viewed me with any kind of regard, Tina finally said.
God it would be so much easier to be so much more angry if daddy hadnt gushed about Tinas opportunity with this film, thought Bette.
Its the first time he ever called you by your first name.
Im sorry you had to hear from Helena Peabody that I decided to go back to work.
I just thought that was the kind of decision we would discuss beforehand, sighed Bette. The traffic buzzed in lanes on both sides of the vehicle as they made their way down the freeway.
Sometimes making decisions for us isnt always in my best interest, Bette, Tina didnt really edit this comment before it was hanging in the air between them.
We made the decision to start a family, Bette said sharply. She then paused to regain control over the delivery of what she would say next. Are youregretting that decision?
Betteis that what you think? Tina suddenly became aware of how everything that had transpired that day must have appeared to Bette. This baby and our family are my number one priority. I told Edward that from the beginning – before I made any commitment to return.
So after the baby is born Bettes sentence trailed off.
Ill be done working for at least a year, Bette. That hasnt changed. Tina stated with finality.
They drove in silence for a few moments while Bette pondered what she would say next.
