Bette – whatever it was that Tina wanted to ask me, she did not. Perhaps in the light of our conversation about Laurel and the pregnancy, it did not seem important, or she figured we’d talked enough for one night. In a way I was relieved, the conversation about Laurel and the pregnancy and me not knowing had definitely taken a toll on both of us. But the other side is I want Tina to feel that she can ask me anything and I am prepared to extend myself when she needs to ask. I picked Laurel up and put her in the back seat. I whistle and Choco comes running, then jumps into the seat himself. I hear Tina close the boot after putting everything in there. It is getting late, 10pm or so. Tina hops in the passenger side. I smirk at the routineness of it all. Just like old times, except we are not
Bette: “I guess I better be getting you ladies home.”
Tina: I look at my watch “Nearly 10pm.” I am finding spending time with Bette confusing. I am confused how I feel and what Bette’s motives are. I want to ask her why she came home. I guess I want to know if there is any chance of an “us”. Since she has been home, she seems different, more at peace, more patient. Bette certainly seems to made small overtures about us, or am I imagining it, and she is just being friendly and co-operative. I guess the Bette I knew, when she wanted something she just went and took it or did everything in her power to get it. I continue thinking and looking out at the stars, the window of the car down, breeze blowing onto me. I am unaware that Bette is watching me closely or how long I have been thinking here like this.
Bette: “Tee,” I reach out and put my hand on her arm “is everything OK?”
Tina: I turn to see Bette’s concerned expression. “Sure, sorry, I was lost in thought. Let’s go home.”
Bette: “Anything I can help with Tee?”
Tina: “I’m not sure.” Bette just continues to look concerned. She turns the car off but before she can say anything “Why do still call me Tee?”
