Looking at the card, she wanders what Bette thinks of the whole idea, not just the marriage of her sister but also seeing Angelica again in real life, not just on video. She lets out a big sigh, stands up to go and take a shower.

As she gets under the shower, Henry looks after the kids. She didn’t even think of asking him to do so, she is so far off with her thoughts. Her eyes are just not focusing on anything and her mind is just numb. She turns on the hot water and realizes than how far off she is as she almost burns herself. ” Shit, shit, what am I doing” She makes the temperature better and gets under it. While she puts her head under the shower her mind drifts of, to Bette and their goodbye or better said farewell. It’s been months ago now, but she remembers it like it was yesterday. She tries not to think of it normally as she has a happy life now, but this card brings it all back to her;

As soon as Bette came home from her 10 days retreat, she found out about her and Henry. Bette was angry but didn’t shout. She was sad but didn’t cry. The only thing she said to Tina was, ” Please don’t take Angel away from me”. As if she thought that making a scene wouldn’t help anymore and it might just make things worse for her  what ever Tina decided to do. But Tina knew she had to move out, she couldn’t do it to Bette to stay in the same house and start dating Henry. It wasn’t fair to her, she didn’t deserve that, she still loved Bette and knew it wouldn’t be right. So Tina packed most of her stuff and Angelica’s stuff while Bette was outside sitting at the pool staring into the water with her head in her hands. Not wanting to see her packing. As she was almost done, she phoned Henry and asked if it was ok if they stayed with him for a while as she didn’t know where else to go. It was fine with him, he said he would start tidying up the spare bedroom so that angelica could go straight to bed when she arrived. Tina picked up the papers of the adoption, they had just arrived that morning but she hadn’t had time to go through them yet. But what ever it was, it had to wait till this crisis was out of the way.
