Comfort Enough
Tina opened and closed the kitchen cabinets taking a quick inventory for the grocery list, then turned her attention to the refrigerator and its many Rubbermaid containers, half-filled with leftovers. She still wasn’t used to cooking for one, and the stacks of plastic rectangles in front of her were proof of that.
She had yet to cook for Helena. It felt toointimate somehow. Giving too much of herself away to a relative stranger. Of course, she thought ironically, that hadn’t kept her from having ***** with Helena. How odd was that? She was willing to put out but not in the kitchen? That was where she was drawing the line these days? “We can *****, but I won’t stir fry in front of you?”
Tina shook her head, absently running her hand across her small mound of belly. “Don’t judge me too harshly, okay? I’m doing my best,” she said softly.
Helena wasn’t exactly a home-cooked-meal kind of gal, anyway. When they saw each other for dinner, it was at one exclusive restaurant or another, tucked away at a private table. And there were the occasional quiet suppers at Helena’s estate, prepared by Floria or Flavia, a small, stern woman with a penchant for cream sauces and disapproving glances.
“It’s like you’re in an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,” Alice had said recently.
And in many ways, she was right. Helena settled for nothing but the best, no matter what it took, whom it inconvenienced, or how much it cost. When she sent Tina flowers, they were never just something beautiful she’d seen at the corner florist. They were orchids grown in Hawaii that were so delicate they could only survive one day after being cut. When Tina had admitted a recent craving for sweets, Helena hadn’t merely brought her a foil wrapped box of chocolates. She had contacted a Belgian chocolatier and had some of his signature candies overnighted.
At first these gestures were flattering, all the more so because it had been such a long time since Tina had felt flattered and desirable. But Tina was a practical woman. Passionate, certainly, but practical. And flagrant excess was not the way to impress her. Not in the long run.

Yippee!!! she is back with another story
I loved this:
“Though she knew better, Bette was a sucker for slick packaging, and she would inevitably sneak some weird new cleaning product or household gadget into the cart for Tina to discover at the checkout line.”
You must know my wife!
Oh Yes I want in that carries so many meanings. What a place to stop. Thanks for the chapter.

Simple routines suddenly become monumental tasks when steeped in memories. Even something as simple as buying milk. That’s a tough to muster the energy. I felt for Tina.
Oh, awkward silence coupled with the deer caught in the headlights look…that’s putting your best foot forward!
Nice cliffhanger. Arugh! LOL
Ohh yes…do keep them comming.
