Julie: What a great way to mark the occasion.

Tina: Well, it isn’t elaborate, but we’re due and what better time than that day.

Julie: Exactly. Is your hearing scheduled for 10am?

Tina: Actually it is. How did you know?

Julie: Well it’s kind of a cattle call. They want everyone there by 10, but they go down the list so it could be a while before you get in front of the judge.

Tina: Oh my god if Bette has to watch others get denied that might really freak her out.

Julie: Well that is a possibility. Who is your attorney? That helps with the pecking order.

Tina: Ingrid Spurlock.

Julie: Oh yea, she’s pretty popular and probably has several cases that day so chances are you’ll be sooner rather than later.

Tina: Thanks, it’s so nice to talk to someone who’s gone through this.

Julie: Do you want to get together this weekend so that Bette and Meredith can talk?

Tina: Let’s just get together and if Bette wants to chat with Meredith she will. I’d rather not suggest it or try to force things. Bette’s gotten focused with this project at work, so maybe her anxiety is down now.

Julie: Well let’s do something where we can get the girls together. Tomorrow would be good. Meredith just took Zoey to her parents for the day. Zoey won’t be home until tonight.

Tina: Wow child free for the day, what do you have planned?

Julie: We’re going to a theater matinee followed by an early dinner.

Tina: That sounds nice. Bette and I haven’t dated since I got back and that’s been just fine. She actually suggested we get a sitter while we’re down in Florida so we can have a date night. I’m just thrilled to see her daily and go to bed with her each night I haven’t worried about dating. It’s nice to know she wants to do those things.

Julie: It’s important to take those moments and do things like that. Meredith and I are lucky; our parents love to take the baby, often weekend nights too.

Tina: That is lucky. But we have a couple of really good sitters, so we really could do Saturday night dates too. We had some great nights while we were on Montauk.
