Lucky in Love (Chapter 9)
The sounds on the baby monitor provided a welcome, if temporary, respite from their long overdue discussion. Bette and Tina peeked in on Angelica, who was making little noises as she slept soundly.
“I want to preface this by saying that I’m not excusing my behavior,” Bette said when they returned to the living room. “There is no excuse. I’ve spent a lot of time working my on anger during the past six months.” She paused to assess Tina’s reaction. True to her word, she was listening to Bette calmly. “It’s mostly to do with the hypocrisy Tina. You have said ad nauseum that I imposed my choices on you and your life…that I made all the decisions without consulting you in the last couple of years we were together and that I all but disappeared as your partner shortly before we got pregnant.” Bette’s pain was apparent. “But, if you really think about it, you’ll realize that I found out about most of the major changes in my life after you had not only made decisions, but carried them out as well. Most recently, it felt like an added bonus for you was the amount of punishment each decision could also inflict on me.”
Astonished didn’t quite describe Tina’s initial reaction. Everything she’d done had been so she could survive all the misery Bette had wreaked upon her. How could she not see that?
Helena sat on a high stool in the doorway of Lara’s galley style kitchen as she threw together some omelets.
“If you’re ready, I’d like to tell you why I behaved like that,” she said diplomatically.
“I want to understand,” Lara stopped dicing the shallots long enough to kiss Helena on the cheek. “Go for it.”
“Something happened a few hours before I saw you and it made me feel,” Helena searched for the right word, “unworthy. I tend to stop thinking and become reactive when I feel like that.”
“Unworthy of?”
“Loving and being loved. Happiness. Success. You…” Helena’s voice failed her. Lara set the knife down and took Helena’s face in her hands.
“Who did that to you? Your mother? Winnie?” Helena shook her head. “Dylan.” It was a statement, not a question.
“She called and asked to see me. For closure.”
