NEW YORK MINUTE
CHAPTER 72
Bette looked at her watch
– it was after 7 and she was just walking into the foyer of their building. After talking to Tina’s father for almost 90 minutes she had sat and drunk two more coffees while lost in thought. How was she going to talk to Tina about this ? well she knew that she had to – not telling Tina what had happened would put an immediate schism in their relationship. The old Bette had deliberately kept things from Tina under the delusion that she knew what was best for her partner and was protecting her. That was how their relationship had really disintegrated after Tina’s miscarriage. Bette had thought that she was protecting Tina from her own pain by bottling it up – all that had achieved had been to leave Tina wondering if Bette was mourning the loss of their son the way she was. Lack of communication in a relationship was an absolute killer Bette knew to her costs. So that plan was dismissed after her second coffee and she had walked home slowly trying to figure out how to tell Tina what had happened between her partner and her father. What had struck Bette the most was that Tina’s dad seemed so gentle and sweet. She could see how he was Tina’s father and he was certainly a man who had regrets about the things that he had done in his life. What had really struck Bette was his lack of bitterness for Tina – he knew he had let her down and had failed her as a father. Bette tried to imagine how she would feel if she had let down Angie in any way and she knew that the guilt would be a horrendous weight to bear.
When Bette arrived at the apartment she closed her eyes and wished herself luck that she would deal with what was going to happen tonight in the best way
– Tina’s reaction was uncertain and Bette was uneasy.
As usual the apartment was in semi-uproar
– Angie was running around the room chasing Sheba who had no intention to be caught and made the matter certain by leaping on the sofa and using it as springboard to reach one of the high shelves in the bookcases. Bette put her briefcase down

That could’ve gone in any direction but I’d say it went well. Thank god Tina stopped jumping and the carpenter replacement jibe was a low blow. I understand she was insecure but at least Bette was great about it. Thanks for the awesome post
Great chapter. Glad it went as well as it did, even with Tina’s snide remark. She has to forget about candace and all that happened in the past. That just tells me that she is not completely over that little episode and she should be and give Bette the benefit of doubt. At any rate it should have never come out of her mouth. That fear should be laid to rest. Thanks.
Lol Ally… I almost thought the drama is over but look at what an ending you gave us!? ;-) so?? I assume Tina would be happy to hear that as it’s still her family.. But who knows?! And it’s such a good part of explanation by Bette and would be better if she is more tactical on the last part.. Now I am more curious to read more.. Hopefully I’ll get Internet connection sometimes during my trip to catch up your stories ;-) and good luck for the heating systems and it’s so funny to read on Rocky’s reaction towards those hairy strangers, if only they are furry strangers-he might be more welcome, won’t he?! :-p
Great update. I understand Bette’s concerns about talking to Tina, just can’t believe Tina dropped the “carpenter” comment!! It’s over gurl!!! Can’t wait for Tina’s response to “I like him!” PPS
The Bette and Tina you portray are very realistic. You play on their subconscious insecurities. Thank you for your great update.
That converstion could have taken a wrong turn with Tina’s remarks about the carpenter or a replacement to Bette. Shane is the coolest and Angie is the best. I wonder though how Tina will respond to Bette liking her Dad.
this is great update thank you!!!!
Great update. thank you.
Bette has bent over backwards to make Tina happy and secure. There still resides a nugget of insecurity and mistrust w/i Tina concerning Bette. Hurtful and childish remark about the carpenter. I’ve always found Bette to be so remorseful and Tina never completely forgiving Bette regardless of what she does. She needs to apologize in a totally sincere and pure manner. Excellent update.
I thought the conversation was going to be a lot worse. Thanks for the lovely update. This story rocks. Love this little loving family.
Happy Feet! When I see this post! Great update…can’t wait for more!
Perfect update! :)
Man, maybe I’m a sucker for this kind of thing, but I want Tina and her parents to make up, forget about Louise, she’s a bitch
