Bette: Angie, I think we could play what if games from now to the end of time. The problem is, there is no answers to what if games. You see people have a range of responses… and most simply are not predictable. You cannot know how you will respond precisely to any situation until you are in it. Then you evaluate your environment and the possible results and you make a decision. And sometimes the results are not what you were expecting and you need to reevaluate and adjust. That’s just the way life works.
Tina: Ladies, we need to go to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a long day and we need to be ready for it.
Margaret: I’ll go get John David in the morning and get him here in time for breakfast.
Bette: Oh, thank you Margaret. That would be helpful. We will get breakfast on the table by 7:00. Hopefully we will be in the park by 9:00 am.
Suzanne: Thank you for the wonderful day. I really enjoyed your friends and the food.
Tina: Well, I’m glad. You have a good night’s rest now.
They all bid each other good night and proceeded to their rooms. Bette noticed that Mary took Margaret’s hand as they headed for the elevator. Bette indicated to Tina that they should allow the couple to go up alone in the elevator. Bette and Tina walked around to the front stair case and made their way up.
Tina: Do you think we answered Angie’s questions?
Bette: You did brilliantly my dear. And you didn’t get into the weeds of what our problems consisted of.
Tina: Those were very complex times in our lives. We made some terrible mistakes, but I think we overcame those problems and resolved to not allow things to get that out of control again. And the best thing is that we took the time to do a deep dive into that period of our lives and looked at our problems and what the origins of them were.
Bette: Well, I think the best thing was that we forgave each other and pledged not to use it as a club against the other. We examined it, we grieved about it, and then we forgave each other and promise not to allow it to affect our future. That took some time… but we took the time and did the work.

Great solution for helping Suzanne. I also like the various positive ways for her to repay the loan. Maybe 10 years down the road as she repays the loan it gets distributed again. When she has paid it off they can tell her the truth and they all can create an on going scholarship for deserving Yalie with B & T millions!!!!
So, get writing those 10+ years.
Thanks, I love your work!
You do realize that Suzanne’s solution originated with the investigation of Melvin Porter? Its one of the things that I admire about Bette. She absorbs the nuggets of wisdom which appear from various sources. I do like the fact that Bette and Tina want to help Suzanne but do not want Suzanne to be aware of where this help is coming from. And with this solution, neither Angie nor Suzanne will be in a position of being obligated to the other. If for some reason, their friendship sours, Suzanne will keep her support. And if anything should happen that Bette and Tina do not survive until Suzanne finishes her education, the money will still be there to assist her.
I like Suzanne as a friend for Angie… I like that she has red hair and is studious like Angie and perhaps a little more so. Do not look for any romance ever between Angie and Suzanne… that is just not in the cards and it would be a disaster for both of them.
Thank you for reading and commenting… I appreciate you pointing out Suzanne’s solution.
