    Summary:
    Chapter 2

    Bette sat at the familiar kitchen table, watching as Carson carefully arranged his dinosaur toys in what appeared to be an elaborate battle scene. The kitchen smelled like Lauren’s famous lasagna, and for a moment, it felt like she was fifteen again, doing homework while waiting for Tina to finish her piano practice.

    “The T-Rex is the strongest,” Carson explained seriously, moving the plastic figure closer to her. “But the Triceratops is smarter. Mom told me that.”

    “Your mom always was smart,” Bette said, accepting the toy he handed her. “What else does she tell you about dinosaurs?”

    Carson’s face fell slightly. “She used to tell me lots of things. But lately, she just sleeps a lot. And cries.”

    Bette felt her chest tighten. “Do you want to talk about that?”

    He shrugged with the casual way children approached serious topics. “Grammy says Mom is sad because of Dad. But I think she’s sad about other things too.”

    “What makes you think that?”

    Carson glanced toward the stairs, then leaned closer to Bette. “She has a picture,” he whispered conspiratorially. “In her drawer. She looks at it sometimes when she thinks I’m not watching, and then she cries even more.”

    “A picture of what?”

    “Of you. When I saw you in the car I knew it was you” he says not taking his eyes away from the dinosaur. “You and Mom when you were kids. You both look happy.” He said turning to look at Bette and studied her face carefully.

    Bette swallowed hard. “We were. A very long time ago.”

    “What happened?”

    The innocent question hit her like a physical blow. “Sometimes grown-ups make mistakes, Carson. Sometimes they hurt each other’s feelings without meaning to.”

    “Did you hurt Mom’s feelings?”

    “I think we both hurt each other’s feelings.”

    Carson nodded solemnly, as if this explanation made perfect sense to him. “Are you going to be friends again?”

    “I don’t know. I hope so.”

    “I hope so too. Mom needs friends. She doesn’t have very many.”

    The observation was so matter-of-fact, so heartbreaking in its simplicity, that Bette had to look away. “What about your dad’s friends? Don’t they come around?”

    “Dad didn’t have friends come over much. And when they did, Mom always seemed… different. Like she was pretending to be happy.” Carson moved his dinosaurs around absently. “I like you better. You make Mom less sad.”

    1. Progress has been made, i agree with Bette.

      Carson sounds as a really sweet loving boy who loves his mother very much and want her happy.

      Tina needs to be careful, Bette warned her she isn’t ready to tell about her private life and still she asked it twice already, maybe not intentionally but still, she needs to be patient.
