Bette: Well they don’t call me big shot Bette for nothing.

The ladies laugh at Bette’s attempt at humor and get on with their days. The board member meeting was actually a great diversion for Bette. She was able to talk about art and her passion for art as well as her vision for the Whitney. This was a new board member who had She’s been a consistent patron and was able to share some historical perspective with Bette. They promised to maintain contact and ended the meeting. At about 1:20 Bette called the school to see if the kids were still asleep for nap time. Bette was told they’d be up in about 30 minutes and Angelica would be ready for early pick up. Bette decided to check in with Tina.

Tina: Hey baby. Are you about to leave?

Bette: Yes, she should be ready at about 1:45 so we’ll be home on schedule. Do you need anything?

Tina: No we’re all set. I had a great run, she’s all packed and I even took our suitcases down to the storage unit. Mr. Hobbs let me in, it is a nice space.

Bette: Wow, thanks T. We’ll see you soon. Love you.

Tina: Love you too baby.

Bette and Angelica arrive home as planned. Angelica heads right to her room to play with her toys. Bette heads to the bathroom to freshen up and Tina flips through a magazine in the living room.

Bette: Now is the time. Do you think I should change into something more casual?

Tina: No you’re fine. You just got in from work and this is a business meeting of sorts. I’ve been working in the home office so I’m more casual. Angelica is doing what toddlers do, play.

Angelica: Momma play? Angelica comes out of her room dragging her See & Say animal sounds.

Bette: You know what baby that sounds like fun. Come on let’s play.

The take turns selecting an animal and pulling the string. They each try to mimic the animal sound after it’s played on the machine. The door buzzer sounds.

Tina: Hello?

Evan: A Ms. Frazier is here to see you.

Tina: Thank you, we’ve been expecting her will you send her up please.
