Marcus grabs a hold of Tina’s hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.

Marcus: So Ms. Porter how is that you two know each other?

Tina: Oh this is Christie’s friend Angie’s mom, they attend the same school and we met in the parking lot one day.

Tina didn’t feel like going over all the details of how she and Bette met, it has been a whirlwind in just a few amount of days.

Marcus: And how is Ms .Christie doing?

Bette: she’s fine, she’s with my sister Kit and Angie, I thought maybe Tina would like a break and moment to relax and heal. I promise she’s in very good hands.

Marcus: That’s good, I will have to meet this Angie one day…Well Tina is there anything I can do for you?

Tina: No Henry you have done enough for me over the years, I really appreciate all your help.

Marcus leaned to give Tina a hug and shook Bette’s hand one more time before turning to leave.

Marcus: Well I know you need to rest so I’m going to go, but if there’s anything else you need…

Tina: I know.

Marcus: ok I see you and nice meeting you Bette.

Bette: Like wise.

Bette smiled at Marcus and he turned and walks out the door.

For the first time in hours, Bette and Tina were finally alone. Bette sat next to Tina and grabs a hold of her hand.

Bette: How are you feeling? I know this has to be a lot for you.

Tina: I’m just glad to be finally putting his abuse on papers and moving on with my life.

Tina thought about moving on with her life for the first…what will that mean…eventually she would have to file for divorce and move out of their home if she was really going to leave Henry.

Bette: Its ok you know.

Tina: What?

Bette: To still love him. No one expects you to let your feelings for him go in one day, it’s going to take time but you will get through it…and hey I’m here if you need me.

Bette gave Tina her 1000 watts smile.

Tina: Thank you.

Tina smiled back.

Silent filled the room. They have never mention the kiss or anything for that matter.
