    New York Minute – chapter 83

    NEW YORK MINUTE

    CHAPTER 83

     

    James looked up from adding details of the latest antiques they had acquired to a spreadsheet. Bette walked down the gallery – stopping now and again to look at a particular painting or sculpture. He knew that today was going to be a tough day. Bette had told him everything and asked him what he thought. That was different from their relationship in LA – she had been secretive and refused to talk about her feelings. Now their relationship was better and he though that the gallery benefited from it.

    Bette flopped down in a comfortable seat facing James.

    “You looked stressed “

    “That’s because I am “

    “How’s Tina ?”

    “More stressed than me”

    “it’s a huge thing – to see her family again after so long. She must be scared and excited at the same time “

    “Yes – she is. I came out here because she wants to be on her own for a while”

    “Are you getting on each other’s nerves ?”

    “No – I don’t think its that – I just know that she is anxious and me trying to do anything is bothering her”

    “I think its pointless you trying to work “

    “It is. I  have been shredding some stuff and I changed the cartridge on my printer.  I think even if I was sitting looking out of the window twiddling my fingers I would be doing something that would be making her worse”

    “You should have got her to change the printer cartridge – it would have given her something to do “

    Bette laughed “I think there would have been toner all over her and my printer and the office”

    “What time are they due here ?”

    “They set off early this morning. They arrived at their hotel about an hour ago – they have just got to get into a cab and get here “

    “Are you nervous ?”

    Bette sighed

    “I want what is best for Tina – and we know that this is the right thing. They all want to make amends for what happened”

    “it’s a lot of years for Tina to hold onto the feelings of being betrayed “

    “I really don’t know how she is going to be. She will cry – everyone will cry. I think a lot depends on how much anger she still has inside her”

Thanks AllyE and I most sincerely hope that you have friends surrounding you at this time of the year. Keep all the great memories of things you shared together. Thanks.

    2. What an insightful chapter. You could actually feel the emotions. Standing outside Bette´s office, feeling how unsettled Tina must be on the other side. Truly amazing Ally. Thank you

    3. Just read the last two chapters of this amazingly beautiful story. I am glad that Tina finally met her parents, and boy are their true feelings come out about the past. This is good, this is real good. I
