Angie set her book down.
"Mommy! What are you doing here?" Angie reached for a hug as she continued to sit half reclined on the pile of pillows.
Tina sat on the side of the bed and reached for the proffered embrace.
"Hi sweetie," Tina said. She heard Bette come in behind her. "I wanted to say goodnight."
Bette sat behind Tina on the same side of the bed.
"Did you hear about Mom’s car?" Angie said before going on without any prompting. "It was in an accident without her and we’re getting a new one!"
"I did hear about that," Tina replied, cringing quietly inside. She felt Bette’s hand on her back, stroking gently in silent assurance. "Sounds like it was an exciting day."
"Are you here just to say goodnight to me?" Angie asked.
"I’m here to visit Mom too," Tina replied.
"Mommy had such a busy day, I thought she should stay over and we can all have a relaxing breakfast together," Bette said. "I’ll make special pancakes in the morning."
"It’s not even a weekend," Angie replied with a smile. "Cool."
"You can read a while longer," Bette said. She stood from the bed. "But lights out soon honey."
"G’night Mom," Tina said. She reached to Tina for another hug. "G’night Mommy."
"Love you sweetie," Tina said.
They closed the door as they left, neither one initiating conversation until they were in the kitchen.
"Distracting her from the fact I’m sleeping over by promising pancakes on a Tuesday," Tina said. "Nice diversion."
"It seemed to work," Bette said. "Either that or she was surprised enough she couldn’t formulate a question to ask."
She lifted the kettle in Tina’s general direction to inquire as to whether or not she wanted tea.
Tina merely nodded her response.
"Are you feeling better than when I saw you this afternoon?" Bette asked.
"My head knows you’re okay," Tina replied. "But my heart is still recovering."
"My heart is pretty thrilled you’re staying over," Bette said.
Tina joined Bette where she was standing, reaching for her hand.

wow it’s f…beautiful i love it thank you!!!
Wonderful chapter. Thanks
Wonderfully sweet and loving chapter. Happy for them that they did not have to wait until Saturday. Hopefully Tina will just move her stuff in and continue to live together and get everything right between them brcause at sometime within the next few days she will relive the day of the wreck and tell Bette everything that she went through. So she can move on from that memory because she was emotionally at her ropes end and then to discover that Bette was okay took her from being ready to jump off a cliff to walking into her office and being able to see and touch her, then sleep with her. That runs the gamut from a living hell to pure heaven. Thanks for posting.
at least we weren’t left in the dark, hope they continue to talk.
I love, love, love the way you write these two. What a beautiful chapter. I also like that Angie doesn’t seem too shocked to see them together as much. PPS!!! :)
That really was a gentle reconnection – no rushing, no wasted second chance. Lovely chapter, thanks jks! :)

You have just the right balance between “just enough” drama and “the mundane” in their relationship. The dialog is believable and engaging and their reunion beautifully written. Kudos!
