Chapter 23 (Final Chapter)
(Tina) Did we drive the same kid home?
Bette looks over at her.
(Bette) I didn’t like her
Tina raises an eyebrow at her.
(Bette) Are you telling me you did?
Tina sighs.
(Bette) What did you think of her? Honestly?
Tina sighs and shrugs.
(Tina) A bit stand off-ish. But I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt
(Bette) Mmmm, I’m not
Tina smiles and shakes her head.
(Tina) Baby, I don’t think this is all to do with Carla
They share a look and Bette sighs.
(Bette) I just have this constant low level anxiety that she’s going to go off the rails
Tina smiles and raises an eyebrow.
(Tina) Low level?
Bette leans her hand on the counter and turns to face her.
(Bette) How are you so relaxed about these things?
Tina smiles and takes a step towards her, placing her hands on Bette’s hips as Bette leans back against the bench.
(Tina) I’m not really, I worry too. But I also want her to do all of the things she’s supposed to be doing, and boundary pushing and having friends her mothers don’t approve of is all part of that
Tina sighs and runs her hands down Bette’s arms.
(Tina) Baby what’s going on? Is it just me or is this stressing you out more than usual?
Bette sighs.
(Bette) I don’t know, I’ve just been thinking a lot recently. I feel like she’s really vulnerable right now, and I wonder if we should do things differently
Tina frowns and nods.
(Tina) OK, what are you thinking?
Bette sighs.
(Bette) We work too much
Tina frowns.
(Tina) OK
(Bette) It’s just such an important time coming up, these years. I think she needs more of a home presence. There are too many days that she gets home from school to an empty house
Tina nods as she listens.
(Bette) I think I should take some time off
(Tina) How much time off?
(Bette) I don’t know, a year? Two?
Tina raises her eyebrows and looks at her for a moment.
(Tina) Baby, I love you prioritising our family but maybe we don’t have to be quite so extreme
Tina reaches up and runs her fingers through Bette’s hair.
(Tina) You love your job. What would you even do with your time?

Thanks for the chapter… I am glad to see that Bette and Tina are considering cutting back on professional lives. They must consider their priorities. If they are financially secure, then cutting back inorder to work on their family relationship is always a good idea. Angie will not be around forever and at some point they may retire and have more time with each other or possibly grandchildren.. For most people, one’s relationships last longer than their profession. These two have gone through years without each other. They have both had different experiences and have made changes in their life. Its a good idea to get to know the person they each are today and that takes time.
Thankyou for this story. Its a wonderful contribution to the readership.
