    Chapter 3

    Tina set aside her philosophical thoughts and practicality took over. She wandered into the kitchen and poked through the fridge, looking for something to make. She had to hand it to Eric – he was better at buying groceries than she was. She decided to make Southern comfort food: baked macaroni, fried chicken and salad.

    She took the chicken down to thaw and checked the clock. It was lunch time, yet she didn’t feel like eating. She glanced out of the window above the sink, which looked out on part of the yard. It was mown and the hedges were neatly trimmed. Tina smiled in spite of herself. The pride Eric took in the yard was the most stereotypically “guy” thing about him. She wondered about her garden. It was doubtful that Eric had kept it up. He would have made an effort, but the garden was her area of expertise.

    She couldn’t see her garden from the window. Without thinking, Tina marched to the back door and opened it part-way before hesitating. It was a bright and sunny day, and she could feel warm air blowing into the door. The grass looked too green, the sky too blue, the birds were singing so loudly they were nearly screeching. She nearly took a step backwards and began closing the door, but something prodded her on. Outside. Into the open air. Just for a minute, she promised herself.

    Tina stepped out and shut the door behind her. The porch was neat and shaded. She paused and then stepped out onto the grass and into the sun. The brightness hurt her eyes. Impulsively she slipped her shoes off, her pale white feet almost feeling tender against the clipped blades.

    Going over to her little herb garden, she looked sadly at the rather dried up shoots and the weeds that had risen up. She wondered if her flower bed had fared any better.

    She crept along the side of the house to the front yard and squinted against the sun that, at this angle, was beating down into her face.

    She held a hand up to her eyes as she walked over to her rose bushes. Pink roses, her favorite. She reached out a hand to inspect the bushes for any damage, and noticed how white her hand looked in the sun that was shining down from above. A bumblebee droned past and Tina stood looking at the bushes for a long moment, seeing them without really seeing them. They were beautiful. She remembered the day she planted them, the pride she took in them and her little garden in the back yard.

    1. I hope Tina will find a way to pull herself out of this rut very soon. It’s sad to see her this pathetic. Time to break away from the doldrums, Mrs Chambliss! Thank you for sharing this new story, omalley. I’m sure that at some point things will be better for Tina and she’ll finally get back on her feet. =)

    4. its time for tina to start living again… lets hope her meeting bette will help and she does go over her house later on… i have a feeling eric will be working late and maybe that’s a reason she gets dressed and goes over… well lets hope…pps

    5. Maybe this is the impetus Tina needs to get herself together and start living again. She should get showered and cleaned up and go to Bettes’ party, she just might enjoy herself a little with others her age. Great chapter. Thanks for posting.

    10. Wow…this is a Tina that I never thought I would read. She’s a sad shell of what she could be. I can’t wait to read about her growth…and become the wonderful Tina we all know and love…strong-powerful-compassion-loyal-sexy.
