Tina sat on her bed and re-read the letter.

Tina picked up her cell phone and dialed the number that had been running through her head all day.

"Hello." Bette said.

"Bette?" Tina said.

"Speaking." Bette said.

"It’s Tina. Tina Kennard." She said.

"Hi. Tina did you get the flowers I left for you?" Bette said.

"I did and they are beautiful." Tina said.

"Well?" Bette said going on the offensive.

"I would love to have lunch with you tomorrow, but I have Gillian with me all day. She going to the office tomorrow." Tina said.

"I see." Bette said. She paused. "Maybe I could bring lunch for the three of us." Bette said. She had only once dated someone with a kid and that relationship didn’t last long.

"That would be okay." Tina said.

"Great. What would you like?" Bette asked.

"Why don’t you surprise us." Tina said.

"I can do that. Is 12:30 Okay with you?" Bette asked.

"That’s perfect." Tina said.

"So is your daughter doing okay?" Bette said.

"Yeah she’ll be okay. She’s tough and quite a daredevil." Tina said.

"Really. What happened if you don’t mind me asking?" Bette asked.

"Her soon to be step-nephew was teaching her to skateboard down at one of the skate parks and she as she says crashed and burned. It’s just a hair line fracture as long as she stays off of it she should be out of the cast in a couple weeks." Tina said.

"I glad it’s not to serious." Bette said.

"Me too. It just scared me that’s all." Tina said.

"I can imagine." Bette said.

"I hope I didn’t ruin your not by canceling" Tina said.

"No. Well I was a little disappointed but getting to talk to you tonight and getting to have lunch tomorrow with you and your daughter is making up for it." Bette said.
