Tina: Are you okay Bette?

Bette: Yeah, I’m fine. I’m just stunned. Are you sure?

Tina: No… they leave the party together. They come to breakfast together. When asked by Paris how did they sleep, Mary flushes as if she were being asked if she just had sex. You know, like you would expect Angie to look if you asked her if had just had sex. So, to rescue her, Margaret responds to the question. So… how do you interpret that?

Bette:  Coincidence? Hot flashes?  Or they spent the night together. So, what do we do now?

Tina: Absolutely nothing. I’m telling you so that you are aware of what is going on. You may be cross examined by Paris and of course our daughter will be here next weekend and she too may notice something as well. So, we need to prepare ourselves on how we are going to respond to such inquiries.

Bette: And how are we going to respond?

Tina: Just like you did last night. Mary and Margaret are older mature women who can make their own choices. And if this is what makes them happy, then who are we to stand in their way. If they need help or advice, I’m sure they will ask for it. In the meantime, as long as everyone seems to be happy and doing what they want to do, then we should say nothing. At least not until they tell us what is going on.

Bette was chopping onions and as usual it was causing her eyes to water.

Tina: We are going to have to consult the internet and see if we can find a method of chopping onions which won’t leave you all teary eyed. It is the onions, right?

Bette: Yes, it’s the onions.

Bette then laughed and she was thinking about the text message she received from Alice that said Shane had slept with Jenny last night. She reminded Tina of that episode of their life and she laughed. And then she laughed again when Kit saw them making out in the parking lot. And she laughed even harder when Shane and Jenny made out in The Hit Club. Bette’s laughter at her memories soon put Tina to laughing also. It made their morning and chores go faster and easier.
