    Tina in the mean time, headed towards the kitchen, where she found the water in the pot with pasta had boiled away. The bottom of the pan had a thick black crust.  The handle of the pot partially melted because the pot had not been at the center of the flame. This was the source of the odd burnt smell.

    ”Shit!” Tina muttered, as she got the pot into the sink and poured cold water on it. Then an alarm sounded everywhere.

    Angie came running down the stairs. ”The smoke alarm, Mom,” she said exasperated and then made a sour face at the smell that filled her nose.

    Tina closed her eyes and took a deep breath.   She then took a step towards the alarm to turn it off, when she heard sirens.

    Tina lifted her head towards the ceiling, ”Fuck!”

    Tina was explaining, while trying to hide her embarrassment, to the firemen what had happened, when her cell phone rang again. She looked at the phone, it was Bette.

    ”What’s happening? The alarm company called me. Is there a fire in the house?” She sounded panicked.

    ”It’s nothing,” Tina said, thanking the firemen as they got back into their truck. She closed the front door as she said, ”It’s no big deal. I burned pasta, well really a pot. Anyways, I was talking to Alice in another room and I was not paying attention.” She could hear Bette let out a long breath.

    ”Babe, you could have burned the house down.” Bette sounded exhausted.  After Peggy was through with her, Helena took over. Bette had been helping Helena with strategizing, trying to figure out how to slow down the never ending flow of problems coming out of the various countries. Bette let out a long breath, ”Would you like me to bring something home for dinner? I’m leaving now, call it in and I’ll pick it up.” Bette paused and said softly, ”Okay?”

    ”Sounds good,” it was Tina’s turn to let out a long breath. ”See ya soon.” Tina hung up the phone and began cleaning up the mess left by the burnt pot. She put the salad in the refrigerator, threw out the pot with the melted handle and turned off the lights. She grabbed her glass of wine and headed to the back patio. She sat on the bench watching what was left of the sun go down. She loved this view. It was calming. She began thinking about her conversation with Alice. Alice was right, she just needed to keep talking to Bette.

    1. Hey Superk,

      Thank you for this chapter while you are exhausted, i can imagine that as a social worker you have a real difficult time and lots of work to do. Please try to take care of yourself and be safe!

      So much mysterie and then also the worry about Covid and that utter bitch Kelly.

      Very good that Bette and Tina talk but more important is that they continue to do that.

      I am not sure if it was wise of Tina to tell Alice that much but she is a friend and means well most of the time. Glad that Bette told Peggy, if one person can help Bette it is Peggy.

      Please try to look after yourself!

    2. Thanks for the chapter….

      I am concerned about the relationship between Bette and Tina. They are still very much living in their hurt and anguish and have made very little progress in forming any semblance of a good solid relationship. Tina is not happy that Bette will not step back from any challenge. Yet that is who Bette is and is never going to change. Bette is still anguishing about the fact that Tina was not there to support her through the Kelly crap. That is never going to change – it happened…. its done and cannot be undone. They are both wondering about what Kelly is up to, but neither will sit down and blue sky what the possibilities are and propose solutions. Both are too busy in their disappointment and angst in the other. None of this is good signs for their future.

      These two do not appear to be in a frame of mind of two newly reconciled people. The are more like an aged married couple who wonder why they decided to retire when they did. They are simply not ready to be spouses, lovers, constant companions. And I do not know if they will ever be. Both their lives are more consumed with their own thoughts than with interaction with the other. This Covid shut down could be a gift of time and a proximity to actually make some progress in their relationship…. to make plans for the future, to establish time schedules, roles in the relationship, identify triggers for problems, and most of all to be parents to Angie. Angie is reflecting her parent anxiety… her parents desire to escape home and to be out and about. The less her parents are able to deal with the confinement, the less Angie will as well.

      I really want these two to do well. I want their relationship to succeed. But the more they dwell on their fears and frustrations, the harder it will be to achieve a happy and sound relationship. Its time to forgive and move on.

      And as to Kelly Wentworth? Now that Peggy knows Kelly is snooping around looking for the painting? Ask her to do what she can to keep her away from Bette. And then let it go.

      Oh? What happened to Shane? She moved in with Angie and Bette when Tina was in New York. Haven’t seen anything about her since. Since the shut down is still in progress, I would have thought she would be still around.

      Thanks for the chapter….

    4. Thank you for the chapter!

      What happen to Tina – did her cooking skills develop into Bette’s :) I thought only one person in their family could burn something during cooking :)

      And maybe it’s me – but i think they all too obsessed about Kelly. Too many mentions about that person.
