The trip to the supermarket was easy, Bette and Tina easily found a common language and did not feel almost any tension, as a couple of days ago. It brought them back to the time when they were on the phone every day about a week ago while Tina was in Toronto. Only now there were no secrets. Everything was on the surface. So it seemed to them at the moment.
They cooked together, laughed, and sometimes accidentally touched each other, and Tina helped the brunette peel the nuts, because Bette didn’t like to buy them already peeled, but she absolutely hated peeling them herself. She simply couldn’t do it and everything was flying out of her hands. Tina thought it was cute when Bette frowned and swore at those nuts. This woman could control the culture of an entire state or country, but she couldn’t handle a nut.
Tina touched Bette’s hand and took her to the Nutcracker
”And you can’t deal with salad”
”Try. This is bullying! I will never make that fucking nut sauce again»
Bette moved away from Tina and began cutting tomatoesTina looked at her sideways, smiled, and rolled her eyes
Dinner was ready in an hour. It was almost 8 pm. Ex-wives put food on the table and waited for their daughter
”Where is she?.. I asked her to be home at 7 pm. sharp and not stay late”
Bette was fidgeting with the phone
“I think she’ll be here any minute”
Tina was sure that nothing terrible had happened and their daughter was just a little late
”I have a bad feeling about this, Tee. She stopped talking to Jordi and Lucas, and she made some new friends that we don’t know, so… I’m worried. And she doesn’t answer the phone”
A few seconds after Bette’s words, their daughter walked into the house and immediately started climbing the stairs to her room without saying hello to the moms
”Ange, we’re waiting for you for dinner»
Bette called after her
”I’m not hungry”
Bette rose from her chair and followed her daughter to her room
”Angie!”
Angie went into the room and closed the door as Bette climbed the stairs
”ANGIE!”
Brunette opened the door and entered her daughter’s room, Tina following her

Bette is a very tactile and sensual individual so it makes perfect sense to me that she would be more comfortable holding Tina, touching Tina and dancing with her. Until: ‘I’ll explode with you too.’ My favorite line. Bette did process Tina’s words. Yes there is a lot to discuss and sort out but that has to be put on pause for a bit because Angie needs to be front and center right now. She is their child and looking out for her welfare is as it must be. Both parents need to create a united front in dealing with their underage daughter and her drinking. Also, Angie has been incredibly rude. Her attitude may be more than just alcohol induced. Is she taking drugs? Is this more than teenage rebellion? They need to get to the bottom of Angie’s hostility. Bette and Tina do make a good team. Kind of a good cop bad cap team in a way. I suspect Angie will have a doozy of a hangover in the morning and an even worse attitude. I am glad that Tina is spending the night. In the guest room. Keep communicating ladies and – Tina – Margot needs to go. No no no messy distractions. And Bette – no more Lisa’ s. You have a chance to get your life back – a very good chance – both of you do. I liked that Bette stopped ranting about her work and asked Tina about her day. This is progress. Despite the Angie drama there were some very sweet and tender and hopeful moments. Good story. Good chapter.
Thanks, Billy. Yeah, I think that parents should be a close-knit team and help their daughter overcome a difficult life stage. It’s good to have Tina around now. If Bette had been alone, it would have been much harder for her to deal with Angie.
I found Bette’s response of just wanting to be in Tina’s presence and have the intimate dance with her absolutely fascinating. Bette has always been a tactile and physical person. After all it was Bette who began the relationship with a kiss when she returned Tina’s earring. Not with words but with a simple kiss which said “I’m attracted to you, but I simply do not have the words to say what I feel at the moment.” So to begin a reconciliation process with physical contact of a dance and simply holding Tina close is so very much like Bette and her mode of communication. And from their evening, this was a time in which both could and did experience a connection without sex which I believe is a good starting place for a potential reconciliation. I do believe that Bette will put words to her response to the letter at some point, but for now this was as powerful a communication to Tina as she would expect.
There is a big time problem with Angie and both of them see it. I was surprised that Bette allowed Angie to get by with her response early in the morning when she asked her if she needed a ride to school. And now that Bette and Tina are sharing information on Angie’s mutual rudeness and now her intoxication, they stand a much better chance of getting to the source of the problem and taking corrective actions. It would actually be beneficial to Bette and Tina and their corrective action and paths if Angie is sick tomorrow morning. Sickness is not much fun. And sometimes being miserable will be a more more powerful lesson than having only a slight discomfort for overindulging. Most people try not to repeat things which make them miserable.
This was a very interesting chapter…. lovely evening with Bette and Tina. Just hope Bette and Tina can get Angie back on a path of rational behavior and not what she is doing…
Thank you for this…. love to see more.
Taking care of Angie and trying to understand her problems can bring Tina and Bette even closer together. Or this focus primarily on the daughter, on the contrary, can prevent the restoration of their personal relationships. In any case, Angie needs her moms right now, even if she doesn’t realize it. Thank you for your comment, Martha, I love your thoughts.
Hey Ada,
Very interesting chapter. Lots to digest.
I agree with Billy & Martha on their comments.
Agree that Tibette needs to have a serious talk with Angie & keep a much better track of her on a daily basis before her behaviors become major problems.
Good start on them back on track themselves.
Keep it going!!!

Welcome you here, Collins. Yes, sometimes teenagers need a little more attention than even the best parents give them. And teenagers do not always let them get close to them and allow them to give them this attention. Thanks for your feedback on this chapter! Looking forward to continuing your story too!
Ada
I loved this chapter. Loved Bette’s vulnerability in seeking proximity to Tina without being yet ready to talk. Haven’t we been in a situation where we aren’t ready to verbalize how we feel but know things are better when someone we love is near. As long as the letter is discussed at some point, please Bette and Tina talk about the letter and the events leading up to it. Bette is so good at shelving her emotions so I hope she can unpack how she is feeling and Tina can better explain her decision making. Great start to my weekend, Ada. Thanks
I really like understanding the character of Bette that was shown to us in the original TLW. When you feel so much and strongly that you can’t put it into words. I think that’s such a beautiful and kind thing about Bette’s character. Sensuality and emotionality is always difficult, but it can bring a huge amount of love to life. Thank you and have a nice weekend!
Ok, now i’m really confusing about what happening with Angie?
Sorry, I haven’t seen your comment before. I hope the next chapter provides some clarity :)
