The alarm went off at 9:30. Bette headed for the potty while Tina turned on the shower and got in. When Tina was finished Bette got into the shower. Once she was finished, she got out and put on the hotel robe.

Bette:  You know, I think that is the first time that you and I have showered separately in months.

Tina: Not really. I shower every afternoon at the studio after painting without you. We shower together in the morning together, but my afternoon shower is always solo.

Bette: Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Well, if I were there, you would not be alone in the shower.

Tina:  And I would love having you. But this shower is a little small and with a curtain, I think we are better served by doing our showers alone. So, are you ready to close on this house? Are we sure this is what we want to do?

Bette: Yes, I’m sure. How about you? Do you think we should not do this?

Tina:  No, I think this is a good move of us and for Angie. It’s a good house. It’s in a good neighborhood and it will give Angie the space and the privacy she needs to complete her schooling.

Bette: I think she is going to enjoy living in this house. At least more than living in the dorm. And she can have the experience of living with other students yet have her privacy.

Tina: You know it’s only been two weeks since we were here, but I am really anxious to see her again. I miss my girl. I miss her a lot.

Bette:  Yeah, me too. But I only seem to realize how much just before we are going to see her again. I guess this the way it’s going to be…

Tina: I’m going to get dressed. Are we going to have time for some breakfast?

Bette:  Oh yeah.  I guess we can change on the plane back into our lounge wear. I really love the way the lounge wear feels on the plane.

Tina:  Yeah, that’s a good idea. I do not want to sleep in my dress clothes on the plane.

Bette: Well, we will work it out. I’m going to call the valet and have our car out front in about 45 minutes. Will that give you enough time to eat and enjoy your coffee.
