Chapter 24 – Angie Leaves for New Haven
Angie: Oh mom, we talk regularly. And I am keeping you up to date. Besides, I’ll be home in about three weeks and I’ll have more than two weeks to catch you up.
Tina: Suzanne, you let us know what your plans are for the holiday as well. And if you need a train ticket to go home, we will be glad to purchase one for you. Do not let a lack of funds keep you from your family. Angie, you make sure you keep us informed if there is anything we need to do make sure that Suzanne has what she needs. In the meantime, you guys enjoy your life at Yale. It will go quicker than you can ever imagine.
Suzanne: Thank you Ms. Tina. I hope that won’t be necessary. But its good to know that its available. Thank you for all that you and Ms. Bette and Angie have done for me. All of you have made my life at school a little easier and a little more enjoyable. I am lucky to have Angie as a roommate and I feel really fortunate to have met all of you. And I thank you for having me in your home this holiday.
Bette: Well, dear, maybe you can come back and visit us again sometime. We have enjoyed having you here.
Angie: Suzanne, maybe we need to go take another look around and make sure we have packed everything. The car will be here in about 15 minutes.
Angie and Suzanne got up to go do their last inspection. Bette and Tina choose that moment to say good bye. They both hugged Suzanne and she walked into the house to give Angie a little privacy with her family. Mary and Margaret then went to hug Suzanne and wish her well.
Daniel: Angie, I really enjoyed this week with you. I can’t wait until Christmas holidays. Maybe we can play a little more golf?
Angie: Sure, I would love to. Daniel, you be good and study hard. And remember what I told you. Be patient. Things will work out. I promise. They always do. You know I miss you, right?
Daniel: Yeah, I miss you too. But Christmas is just a few weeks away. And you’ll be home again. I’ll call you sometime in the middle of the week.

I’m enjoying this story soooo much…Thank you…Are you taking us to Yellowstone and Scotland with the family?
I have not written that yet…. but I am thinking about it. It may take a few months…
Thanks for reading and commenting. I enjoyed creating these characters and enriching Bette and Tina’s life with a little more dimension than the conflict and drama which the L Word and Gen Q presented. Life is really full of drama… but there is joy and times where you just want to enjoy your family and those you love. Maybe I have put forth a Bette and Tina who live a more idealistic life than real people. But I need some people in my life in which the universe blesses them with good fortune, success, companionship and love. And that makes me happy.
The next chapter is the final episode for this series. If I write more of this Bette & Tina and family, it will be a new series. I would like to… but I do not know if I have enough story in me to continue… but we will see. Thank you…
I sure hope you write another series. Your stories are quite enjoyable. I’d love to see what happens with Tina’s painting career.
Thank you… Tina’s painting career? I have a couple of thoughts about Tina’s painting career but they have not jelled yet. I am thinking that she might go into private commission work rather than producing for commercial purposes. Tina does not need the commercial success, but the personal satisfaction of producing something people love and want in their lives. I think she also wants to control her time and pressures to produce that comes with being in the art markets. My Tina has just begun to tap into her talent as an artist. But as in any profession, it can rob you of your personal life if you allow it to.
I do think that getting Tina a studio which was separate from their home was a meaningful decision made by Bette and Tina. It fills so many of Tina’s needs – time for privacy and to separate her professional life from her family life. And the fact that its only 10 minutes from home makes think very convenient. Personally, I feel this revamping of their life and moving back to Los Angeles has been one of the best decision this couple has ever made. I believe this puts them into a perfect glide path into retirement, being grandparents and whatever.
Thanks for reading…
I think I have gotten a bit spoiled by your longer chapters, but this one was lovely as well. I have a feeling that great minds think alike and Mary will come up with a scheme as well as Bette and Tina to help Suzanne get through school as comfortably as possible. Since they can see that she is not a moocher and wants to work for what she gets they don’t feel bad about secretly giving her a hand. Post as soon as you can.
Thanks for reading… I will probably post on Friday… You know, there are days in Bette and Tina’s life which are meaningful but just not as full of activities as others. I felt this was a day that the family would retreat into their individual rooms to regroup for the up coming week.
Suzanne will never know that her additional aid is coming from Bette & Tina. Neither will Angie. Suzanne will get the funds and have full discretion on what she does with the money. I think it is important to both Angie and Suzanne never to know where the money is from. That way, the source of the funds will never influence either of their decisions relating to their relationship with each other or their relationship with Bette & Tina. As to Mary? I have a little something instore for Mary in the next chapter.
Thanks for reading and for commenting.
