    ”Well,” Peggy said, ”First, let’s talk about Ms. Wentworth asking around about that letter Paul found.” Bette thought she had imagined it at first.

    ”Well,” Peggy said, ”First, let’s talk about Ms. Wentworth asking around about that letter Paul found.”

    Bette thought she had imagined it at first. Her heart thudded in her chest and her mouth went dry as she began to speak. ”Did— did you just say… Kelly has been asking about the letter? For a moment they just stared at each other.

    Peggy then proceeded to tell Bette what she had heard about the recent shenanigans of Ms. Wentworth.

    Bette sat in thought for what seemed like forever after their call ended. She had been right… Kelly was digging around trying to figure out more about this painting that Laura spent so much time researching. Bette closed her eyes as she felt a burning sensation move through her body. The room became hot and beads of sweat began to form on her forehead. She reached up and pressed the palm of her hand against her forehead as she tightened her eyes sensing the beginning of another headache.

    Tina walked into the kitchen. It was getting time for dinner, and it was her turn to cook. Angie was upstairs pouting about not being able to go out and see her friends. This COVID thing was starting to get to everyone, and Tina wasn’t sure how much longer they were going to be able to stay held up in their house. It didn’t seem realistic that everyone was going to be able to stay in their houses throughout the summer, which was what the news was predicting as a more in likely scenario. Even with COVID, life goes on, she thought as she opened the refrigerator. Neither she nor Bette had called to restock the refrigerator. She sighed, what am I going to make.  Tina found a head of lettuce, a couple of tomatoes, a lemon and a half bottle of white wine. She smiled, grabbed the wine and poured herself a glass. We are all going to be alcoholics when this thing is over, she laughed to herself.  She opened the cupboard and saw a container of pasta and olive oil. Well, that’s a start, she thought as she sipped her wine. She sat her glass on the counter and walked over to the pantry hoping to find some sort of sauce. Seriously, she thought, as she dug from shelf to shelf, there was no way Bette and Angie were going to be happy with plain pasta. Come on Tina, she thought to herself, you’re supposed to be this great cook who can put together something out of nothing.  As she reached back in the spice box, she found a bag of spices that mixed with olive oil would make Pesto, perfect she smiled. She put the pot on the stove and began tossing together the salad.

    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.
