Together they walked down stairs towards the dinner room, but before Bette could open the door, Tina had her against the wall next to it. She took her hands, entwined their fingers and whispered: ‘did I ever mention to you how sexy you look?’

Bette: no you didn’t (smiling, but a little anxious because they were in the middle of the hall)

Tina: hmm poor you, you deserve to know (winking)

She lent in gave her a soft small kiss. Bette whispered: ‘come on baby, let’s go. We are in your parents house remember?!’ (smirking)

They sat down and Michael winked to Bette.

Peter: hi honey, is everything okay?

Tina: perfect! Why?

Vivienne: oh we heard some strange noises coming from upstairs. You were not fighting with your brother again, were you?

Tina and Bette both blushed a little and Michael busted out in laugher. He raised his eyebrow to Tina and said: ‘no mom, we’re grow ups now. We have other things to do when we’re home’ (smirking)

Tina gave him a warning stare and said: ‘yes we do indeed! I’m way too busy to fight with my dear brother’

Peter: okaaay.. (raising his eyebrow, just like Tina always does) Bette, don’t give those two any attention, because they are behaving way too weird tonight. I don’t know how you do it, but you have some influence here. You’re a keeper (winking)

Bette: oh I’m planning on it, Tee and I are friends for life! (smiling)

Tina: definitely! (smiling)

Vivienne: now that’s settled then, from now on Bette is here to keep you two under control (giggling)

Michael: oh she doesn’t have to hold me under control, I can handle myself, but that sister of me?!? hehe (giving Bette a wink)

All four of them enjoyed dinner and Bette was glad she took the step to meet the Kennards. It was so obvious from whom Tina got her manners, they all were so alike. It was so good to see that Tina lived in a happy family. It made her happy, but a little sad that the coming out could destroy it all.. Vivienne saw her looking a little sad and anxious and she asked: ‘Bette, are you feeling well?’
