Vignettes: Chapter 73
“And then what?”
Tina took a sip of tea. “Isn’t it obvious? Here we are.”
“No, I mean… did you call her or did she call you?”
“Potty break. Then we’ll chat more. If you have time.” Tina casually glanced to the house next door out the window. Dakota rolled her eyes and pushed her mom off the couch.
While Tina was in the bathroom, Dakota peeked out the window. Julianne’s lights were still on. That was a good sign. As much as she was enjoying her mom’s story, she ached to be wrapped up in Julianne’s arms. She was addicted.
Tina came back from the bathroom and plopped down on the couch. “Miss me?”
Dakota smiled and looked at her mother. She silently studied her face. “I don’t think I’ve ever really realized this before… but we look a lot alike.”
“It’s taken you twenty five years to realize that?”
“Well, yes. I mean, people always say we look alike, but look at us!” Tina glanced from her daughter to herself and saw they were sitting in exactly the same position, both playing with the hair in the same way. “We act the same, too.”
“You’re my daughter whether you want to be or not.”
“Of course I want to. You know, I saw this video of you and mama from when you were very young. We looked so much alike it was scary.”
“Scary to think of your old mom looking hip and pretty?” Tina grinned. “Shocking, isn’t it?”
“No, it was just weird. You were both so young.”
“Your mama and I were fun in our day. Hard to believe, I know, but we had our wild sides. What video are you talking about?”
“Oh… nothing. Just something Zoe and I came across accidentally.”
“Where did you find it?” Tina asked.
“In your closet.”
Tina blushed. “You watched that?”
Dakota sheepishly looked at her mom. She nodded. “Sorry.”
“That was a long time ago. I didn’t even know we still had that.”
“It was in an old Dr. Seuss tin.”
“That was a time capsule. Your mama made that after we divorced. She buried it in the back yard before we both moved out. When we came back to LA for the friend reunion, she dug it up with Shane in the middle of the night. Lucky for her, everything was still fine.” Tina thought for a minute. “But you and Zoe watched the tape?”
