A Second Chance at Forever
Angelica hugged Tina back. She reached out to Bette in silent invitation to bring her into the embrace. Bette joined them on the sofa for the group hug before they somewhat awkwardly ended it to prepare their first family dinner in years.
Chapter 3
Angelica curled up in front of the television for after school shows – a rare event indeed given her propensity for reading as entertainment. Bette made her way around the kitchen getting dinner on the go.
"You’re sure I can’t help somehow?" Tina asked.
"If you’re interested in sharing some wine this evening, you could uncork the bottle of your choice," Bette suggested.
"What’s on the menu?" Tina asked as she stood and walked towards the pantry. She was somewhat relieved at Bette’s suggestion. A glass or two of wine would take the edge off of her reticence at being there. It felt…the same as it ever did. Being in this house again, with all of her routines falling into place from so many years earlier, was disconcerting.
"Grilled salmon, asparagus and sweet potatoes," Bette replied. "But I know you prefer red, so don’t be swayed by the fish…"
Tina pulled a bottle of bold California zinfandel from the rack and paused to remind herself where the corkscrew was. She realized it was in the drawer in front of where Bette was standing as she trimmed the asparagus. At least…it used to be. She glanced down towards its presumed location and returned Bette’s eye contact.
"Oh yes, of course," Bette stepped a quarter turn away from the drawer, the paring knife still in her hand. She nodded towards it. "It’s at the front."
Tina retrieved the utensil and proceeded to open the wine.
"Would you like the first taste?" Tina held a glass towards Bette, after having poured a couple of ounces into it.
Bette silently reached to grasp the bowl as Tina held the glass’s stem. Her pinky finger grazed Tina’s index finger as the exchange was made. They both noticed, but they both pretended not to.
"Lovely choice," Bette complimented after tasting the proffered selection. She waited for Tina to pour her own glass before reaching for a top up. "Thanks for saying that to Angie…about being as committed as any married couple."

The evening seems to have gone well… even with all the things they didn’t say to each other. Thanks for posting. :)
JKS,Seems like you’ve acquired a fan base of some familiar screen names. That’s b/c you’re damn good especially w/scene set ups, and dialogue. All of it really. Can’t wait for more. It is appreciated that you’re writing w/the constant demands of a toddler.
”Reading your comments is certainly inspiring.”… What a coincidence! Reading your story is certainly inspiring for us. :)

Thanks for the update. Hopefully, the passage of time has caused a change in perception and feelings between both women. Communication is always the key to success and honesty. Good luck and off to the pathway to begin the journey back to being together once again, only this time with a few valuable lessons learned.
