Tina looked at Alice, then at Angelica. "Did the scary reporter frighten you, Angel?"
"Whoa," Alice blinked. "Scary déjà vu."
Bette glanced at Tina, whose hold on Angelica seemed tighter. "T, I–"
Tina jumped up. "I forgot, I’m supposed to go to this neighborhood watch meeting."
"Why would you want to talk about watches?" Alice asked, distracted, as she dug through her purse for the toy she’d meant to give Angelica.
Bette stood up. "You have to go now?"
"Yes." Tina said, taking the baby bag Bette handed her. "Kiss Mama B, Angel."
Angelica obediently reached for Bette, pecking her cheek as Bette took hold of her.
"’Bye, Angelica." Bette whispered.
"Hold on, I think…" Alice brandished the toy phone she’d bought. She handed it to Angelica. "Look, kid: You’re mini-Bette Porter."
Angelica took the toy, distracted by it as she was handed back to Tina.
Bette looked at Tina. "I’ll call you later."
"Okay." Tina nodded.
Then came the continuously-awkward part of this arrangement: standing right next to each other, so close together and their baby daughter between them, their instinct, as it usually was, was to move closer and exchange a kiss or two.
But that wasn’t what had been their interaction for months already.
But they were separated.
They smiled weakly at each other.
"I’ll call," Bette repeated, as she stepped back.
"Say goodbye to Kit for me," Tina told her. "’Bye, Al."
"’Bye." Alice waved at Angelica, hoping to have returned to the child’s good graces.
"’Bye," Angelica echoed both syllable and action.
Tina turned so that she and Angelica faced Bette. "’Bye."
Bette smiled at them. "’Bye."
Alice watched the interaction, as Tina and Angelica left The Planet. "Huh."
Bette turned to her. "What?"
"There’s no escaping the two of you, is there?"
"What are you talking about?" Bette asked, irritated.
"She wants you and you want her."
"What?" Bette scoffed. "You are completely off your — She wants me?"
Bingo. Alice beamed. "Oh, this is gonna be fun."
"Alice–"
"Oh, pooh, I’m not telling TK. Let her figure this out for herself." Alice paused. "Is she dating anyone?"
