    A Choice Is Made Chapter 53

    Bette: Art can definitely challenge our perceptions.

    Peggy: That is why I was so adamant about cultivating that appreciation for art with Helena. She didn’t see things my way, but in her own time and way I think she’s at that place in her life I’d hoped she’d be. The movie business has been a good one for her.

    Bette: Well she has a big task in launching two movies at once. Tina thinks she’s built a good marketing team and thinks they’ll do a great job.

    Peggy: Well she’s taking on the challenge head on so good for her. I’m excited to be there for the premiers.

    Bette: Those we’ll be big nights. I know they had the screening last week. They’ve been working on some adjustments based on the feedback they received. Helena is having the new versions sent to the house so Tina can view them in the theater while we’re there this weekend.

    Peggy: Helena added the home theater after she bought the studio for that very reason. That’s why it’s upstairs near the office and not downstairs with the rest of the toys. Of course the children think it was added for them.

    They laugh at the children’s perception of how and why things are done.

    Bette: Hopefully well find the right place and the right house when we are ready. It seems the Hamptons are probably out of our price range.

    Peggy: The Hamptons have gotten very pricey. Keep in mind you have access to the house on Montauk so you really don’t need another place on the island.

    Bette: We’ve already fallen in love with the house so I’m sure we’ll take advantage of it again.

    They finish dinner and head out. Bette is back home by 11pm and immediately calls Tina.

    Tina: Hey baby, are you home?

    Bette: I just walked in the door. We went out for sushi, heavenly too.

    Tina: Mmm, that sounds wonderful. How is Peggy?

    Bette: She’s good and I’m really starting to enjoy these times with her. She told me she put in that English garden herself. It was part of her grieving process after her husband passed away.

    Tina: Oh wow, that is so sweet and puts a special aura around that space for me now.

    1. Happy to see this update. They are all making the adujustment so well to Tina being home full time. Bit surprised at Angies’ meltdown. Hopefully a great weekend for them. Thanks for posting.

    2. Angie having a meltdown, how Bette of her!!!!!! Hmmmmm, homemade dinner, lucky Bette. That sushi dinner with Peggy sounded good too. Great update. PPS

    3. So..you see life and work doesn’t just get in the way for writers’ it gets in the way for us readers too! Never mind, I loved your updates and I’m caught up now. Wonderful writing and this makes 53 chapters of a happy Bette and Tina, without a smidgeon of drama in any of them…and we are all still here! Good going Lwsho.

    4. This was very sweet. I still love Mama Peabody… I wish I had one like that. Hmmm, Angie’s tantrum makes me think someone might be getting sick. I hope not, but I always wanted the parent that wasn’t around when I wasn’t feeling great. I guess I figured they’d make me feel better. Or maybe it was just a sign of the closeness between B and A. Either way, thank you! Loved the length, too :)
