”You’re right, of course you’re right.” Bette gave Tina a quick kiss on the mouth. ”I’m too emotional about this, I can’t help it.”
”I think Angie is happy that you’re so emotional about this. She likes to learn something new from you, meet your artist buddies, argue with you about all these new directions. It’s amazing, but don’t overdo it.”
They finished dinner and Bette went back to her home office to finish her work. Tina was also working on her computer when there was a knock on the door. Tina took off her glasses and went to see who was there. She saw that it was Alice and Shane and opened the door. Alice’s first sentence was: ”Tina? Why are you here again?” She wasn’t rude, but she just didn’t expect to see Tina here, opening the door. Shane was holding 2 bottles of champagne, and Alice was holding some paper bags.
Tina started to reply, suddenly flustered because they hadn’t told their friends about their reunion yet, but at that moment Bette came out of the room and their attention shifted to her. They all hugged and went inside.
”What are you guys doing here?” Bette asked this not looking at friends, but looking at the phone and typing some work message.
”Alice’s show was included in the top 5 most rated TV projects.” Shane said as she unpacked the fruit bags.
”Yep! So we came to show off and celebrate. Because you, Porter, are buried in your work again, and it feels like you’re dead. No one has seen you, no one knows where you are.”
”I’m right here!” Bette smiled, spread her hands, and then reached out to hug Alice, congratulating her on her success. Bette knew that Alice’s show had made it to the top, but she completely forgot to congratulate her yesterday.
”That’s it, and thank you for that. Tina at least called!”
”Yes, I am. This is very exciting, Alice. You’re so good!” Tina said, putting 4 champagne glasses on the table.
”Don’t praise her too much, or she’s already getting conceited. I called her yesterday and she said, ” who is this?” ”
All four of them laughed, and Alice started making excuses, saying that Shane’s number was displayed as ”unknown”.

So Eddie has been dealt with, but Angie feels sorry for him. This is not good. Her mom was pushed into broken glass and injured and she took up for Eddie rather than defend her mother. That is not good. Eddie represented a threat to her two moms and yet she is defending him because of his family. Having a bad family does not justify bad behavior. Having a bad upbringing does not justify breaking into a house to talk to someone who has been avoiding you for a while. A bad upbringing does not justify putting your hands on anyone.
So Angie has had her first sexual experience with Eddie? I sure hope they used protection. Its going to be chaos if Angie ends up pregnant with Eddie’s child. That would be a whole new set of problems for Bette and Tina as well as Angie.
Bette needs a James in this story. Someone who can run the gallery with organization and grace in Bette’s absence and only refers the big problems to Bette. Then Bette would have more time to devote to her family. Of course there will always be times when she will have to spend long days at the gallery, but with the right team, they would be less frequent.
Now…. thank you for the posting….. can’t wait for the next chapter..
Totally agree with all you say. If Eddie had not been stopped I suspect he would have raped Angie. Bette needs to know about Angie and Eddie having sex. Tina cannot keep that from her. Angie needs to get her mind right. And Bette most certainly needs a James ASAP.
Yeah, you can expect anything from people like Eddie. James is very much needed, but it is unlikely that after ~10 years, he is still interested in being just Bette’s assistant. I don’t think career growth has passed him by :)
Yes, Bette needs a professional who she can trust as much as she can herself. Based on her character, it seems to me that it is difficult for her to give instructions and then not double-check everything. Hence the workload at work.
Thank you!
Yeah, Angie behavior about this Eddie are very strange. And yeah, therapy maybe good, but i’m prefer that she talked with her mothers, not with therapist
It would be so great if we could discuss all the problems with our parents and not avoid some topics. It would be a better world. :)
So maybe this is just teenage angst… her first boyfriend, her first sexual experience…. of course she is going to defend him, if he is the shithole that he appears to be then her decision to sleep with him looks really bad…. so in teenager logic it makes sense to defend, deflect, dodge.
Or maybe Angie has suffered more than everyone realizes with the divorce and discord between her mamas.
Either way, therapy is the best way to unravel this situation.
I agree with Billy that James is needed and that Tina needs to clue Bette in on everything. A secret like this, in this environment could be real trouble to their reconciliation.
Looking forward to the next chapter-

I think that first boyfriend and first sex are a bit (or a lot) clouding the view of the situation, and Angie can’t think rationally when it comes to Eddie.
Thanks, BK!
I am in agreement what is up with Bette and her job. Slippery slope before the dust settles on the reconciliation.

Agree about Bette and her work. Angie may be confused or troubled and need some counseling. She should also be talking to BOTH moms. Eddie does not seem like the kind and gentle type. Tina is minimizing that aspect. Also – Angie is a minor and the age of consent in California is 18 so legally Eddie is also guilty of statutory rape. Even if an adult age 18 has sex with someone who is 17 (which I’m not sure Angie is)they can face criminal charges.
Well, they are starting to have a time when they need to put words into practice and work on relationships
