Chapter 17
"When I saw Tina was already here, I thought they might be getting along better," Alice whispered to Shane. "But they seem to be sniping at each other."
"I don’t see that at all," Shane replied quietly. "They always keep Angie in mind when she’s around. They don’t want her to be uncomfortable regardless of what they’re dealing with."
Shane gave Angie a wave across the yard as she spoke to Alice.
"They hardly made eye contact when they were in the pool together," Alice said. "It was as though they were avoiding each other. I wonder if they had a fight."
"Whatever it is, it’s none of your business," Shane replied, tilting her hat down to keep the sun out of her eyes. "It’s none of our business."
Angie brought herself out of the water and, keeping the rules of the pool in mind, walked briskly over to where Alice and Shane were sitting.
"Auntie Dana said we’re going to Disneyland next Saturday!" she exclaimed. "Are you going to come?"
"Yeah, Dana suggested taking Angie for an overnight," Alice interjected. "And we figured we might as well make an adventure of it. You’re welcome to come."
"Hmm, that is tempting," Shane replied. She looked back and forth between the two of them. "I do have some commitments already, so can I let you know?"
"It’s going to be so awesome!" Angie said as she jumped back into the pool and swam towards Helena.
"You’re not really thinking about coming are you?" Alice asked.
"I don’t want to hurt her feelings, but…"
"Disneyland isn’t your thing," Alice said.
"Not so much," Shane replied. "But you’re a good auntie, Alice."
**********
"We’re supposed to be getting dinner ready," Tina pulled away to offer the reminder.
"But this is more fun," Bette replied, leaning in for another kiss
No argument on that point was about to be offered.
They had moved into the living room in order to have a moment to recover a sense of decorum if anyone decided to come in from the yard.

Great story, beautifully written.
Angie is a cool child, she willbe happy to see her Mothers together. Love this story thanks
cheers for second chances, i wish we all could have them…wonderful dialog
I’m a big believer in second chances. I can wait for their weekend.
They’ll have three more opportunities to see each other before the next week. It’s probably for the best that 2 of them will be chaperoned by their daughter and the other is during a workday. ;) Thanks for the post, jks. :)
Excellent story. Thank you
Thanks for the wonderful update. Your writing is so smooth and connected. If we were supposed to vote for a long story or a short one… I vote for a long one as I love to read your stories. Bette and TIna are so much more mature for the second time around and will make this one be successful.
I`m with teegirl.Second chance-why not ?Love your story,I love all of your stories.PPS
Thanks JKS for another update! :-) looking forward to more… ;-) enjoy the weekend there!!
There is more complications when a child is involved… Even if you’re both the parents to that particular child also. I am glad they’re talking and both are prioritizing time for them as a couple in the making and Angelica. Its important they’ve established some sort of boundaries and not jump in at the deep end. I think this slow pace is realistic after all the hurt and anger from the past.. And actually enabling them both to realize what is important and pivotal to making it work this time. There has never been a question of whether they ever stopped loving one another, but it was their character traits that got in the way of all that.
i love your story thanks!
