"Tina, wake up," Bette placed her hand gently on Tina’s low back as she spoke. "You’re just dreaming, Tee, wake up." She slowly moved her hand up Tina’s back to wake her.
Tina woke up and propped herself up on her elbows as she brushed her hair from her face and held her forehead in her hands.
"What do you remember this time?" Bette inquired.
"Not much," Tina began. "We were at the dinner table at my parents’ house. You were there."
"Doesn’t seem to be any reason for the thrashing around you were doing so far," Bette said.
"My mom said, ‘I’m so glad you were able to bring your girlfriend Christina,’" she continued.
"Sounds even better," Bette said encouragingly.
"No, she didn’t get it Bette," Tina explained. "Every female friend is a girlfriend in mom’s eyes. She went on to say how happy she was I had a roommate while living in Los Angeles and that she always worried about me in such a big city."
"Okay, so what made the dream so bad?" Bette wanted Tina to talk out some of her anxiety, which she was clearly channelling into restless nights.
"My dad’s response," Tina said. "He said, ‘Oh for God’s sake Anne, can’t you see they’re a couple? Pass the carrots.’"
"That sounds like a great scenario Tee," Bette said, still trying to comfort Tina with her hand moving over the bare skin of her back.
"Then my mom said ‘Don’t be absurd,’ and then I woke up." Tina said. "Sometimes you know a dream is bad even though it seems like nothing,"
"No monsters, no demons. Just parents making some assumptions?" Bette asked.
"I just know I’ll be glad to get this over with," Tina said. "I think the anticipation is what’s making me crazy right now."
"In your heart, how do you think they’ll react?" Bette asked.
"I think they love me and want me to be happy," Tina replied. "But there’s the remote possibility, that regardless of how much they love me, they might have a drastic reaction."
"Drastic?"
"As in they might never want to see me again," Tina finally articulated the fear she’d been holding inside. "And as unlikely as that is, it’s making me feel physically ill."

Great update. Love the way you write “our girls.” Poor Tina will have a nervous breakdown before her parents visit if she isn’t careful. Thanks for posting.
