“Not exactly,” Bette replied.
“How’s Tina?” Shane asked, leaning forward.
“In shock, I think.”
“I guess there’s really no way to prepare for something like this. People coming back from the dead,” Shane mused.
“What did she sound like? Your mother in law?”
“Nervous.
“You’ll have time. This is only the beginning.”
“How about if we head out and leave you guys alone? We can do this some other time,” Shane said, making a move to rise.
“Actually, I’m sure that Tina would really appreciate the extra support,” Bette replied.

“Right,” Bette said, looking down the hallway toward their closed bedroom door. “We should be together.”
“If I’m staying, I’m getting more wine,”

“How are you?” Bette asked, leaving her task, gathering Tina in her arms.

FFC,
Brilliant. You have madfe my day with the latest updates to this very interesting story.
I loved the line “‘You’ll have time. This is only the beginning.'” because it sums up all the joy and anticipation to come.
Also, it means that more chapters are on there way. Hurrah!
Will be watching for the your installment.
The dialogue in this part is so natural and realistic. The shock and horror of this phone call and all the implications it brings are so wonderfully conveyed by your flair for the narrative.
Can’t wait.
Your Loyal Fan.
