Bette: Wow this looks and smells great, thanks T. Are we having wine tonight?

Tina: You’re welcome baby. Yes, there’s a bottle in the fridge, sorry I chose white.

Angelica: I helped Momma.

Bette: Thank you too Boo. White is fine T.

They dig into the meal and talk about their plans for the evening.

Bette: Did the movies come in? Are we watching them tonight?

Tina: Yes, I have them, but I don’t want to work tonight. Let’s enjoy dinner, catch the sunset and I’m sure we can figure out a way to pass the rest of the evening.

Bette: These green beans are really good Boo, you did a good job helping Mommy.

Angelica: Make Pop for Mommy. Mommy cook. Good Mommy, thank you.

Tina: You’re welcome baby. I really needed your help today too, thank you.

Bette: Well, I’m stuffed, that was great.

Tina: I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m glad you asked for a salad, we needed that extra veggie.

Bette: You relax, I’ll clean up here.

Tina: There isn’t much to clean up. Go ahead and run the dishwasher. I loaded it as we went along today. I’m going to take the baby upstairs for her bath.

Bette finishes in the kitchen and meets Tina and Angelica upstairs just after bath time.

Bette: I’ll dress her and do story time. I brought our wine glasses upstairs.

Tina: Good, we can do the sunset up here tonight.

Bette reads to the baby holding her in the rocker. Angelica drifts off to sleep fairly quickly. Bette kisses her and lays her in the crib. She walks through to their room pulling the door closed behind her.

Tina: Hey we have a little time. Do you want to take a quick shower? I took mine while you read.

Bette: Yea, I’ll be right back. Bette heads to the shower. Her phone rings a few moments after she steps into the shower; Tina answers.

Tina: Hello?

Cindy: Hi I was looking for Bette. Is this Tina?

Tina: Yes it is.

Cindy: Hey it’s me, Cindy.

Tina: Oh hey, how are you?

Cindy: I’m fine, but my husband is off his rocker with excitement. We’re really looking forward to coming out tomorrow. We plan to leave here really early, around 5am to avoid the traffic. We should be in by 8am or so. Is that too early? We can stop and have breakfast in town and call you when we’re done?
