Tina: I love you baby. Thanks again.

Bette: You don’t have to thank me for that.

Tina joins the group at the umbrella and lays out their blanket and sets down their bags.

Tina: I’m really sorry about that. She’s never really had a meltdown like that before and she’s never demanded Bette.

Amy: They are a work in progress. Before the day is out it could be Bethy’s turn for the meltdown. She’s too young for us to take it personal.

Tina: Thanks, because I was really embarrassed.

Amy: No need to be.

Tina: Have you been to this beach before?

Amy: Actually this is one of our favorites, small size, warm shallow water and usually not too crowded. It’s a lake not the ocean, but at her age that really doesn’t matter.

Tina: The house we’re in is oceanfront which is just amazing, but the water really is too cold to enjoy just yet; especially since we’ve been used to Southern California beaches for so long.

Amy: What made you move to New York?

Tina: Bette got an amazing job offer. They came after her for years, now finally was the right time. She moved out here first and Angelica and I moved out earlier this year. We just sold our house last week and the rest of our stuff arrived here on Tuesday so we are completely in New York now.

Amy: Oh that must be so exciting and it must have been so hard for Bette to be away from the baby.

Tina: Yea, it was a hard stretch, but now we are all home together. Bette had a two bedroom apartment when she first got here, but a three bedroom opened up in the building and we were able to get it. I work from home a lot so we’ve been able to set up a great office for me.

Amy: What to you do?

Tina: I’m in the movie business. At this point mostly development; finding the screenplays and getting the deals signed.

Amy: Are you doing this from New York now?

Tina: Well, I’m taking a bit of family break for June, but by July I’ll be back to doing that again. I work for a small studio and we have a couple of movies coming out later this year. That was another reason I stayed back; getting those projects wrapped up. Now the Marketing team has to do their job to get a wide distribution network set up so we can get lots of screens for the films.
