”Maaan, is it just me or did I become more sentimental?” Kit chuckled through the happy tears, getting the handkerchief and wiping them away.

”You have always been sentimental, Kit. Remember? Dad would tell us the story about his mother, how she cried everytime he left for school. I always thought it was a funny story, unlike you” Bette paused, smiling slyly. ”You little namby-pamby”

”Oh no, you didn’t!” Kit laughed out loud, tilting her head back. ”You didn’t just call me this shit! I hated you for coming up with this nickname!”

”That was the part of the fun” Bette shrugged and dodged the blow, when Kit tried to hit her.

They drank some tea and laughed some more.

”So, how was your week?” Kit asked casually.

”It was okay. I was working”

Kit nodded and licked her lips nervously, bracing herself to ask the question. ”Are you still working for him?”

”Kit, don’t” Bette shifted on her chair, irritated that Kit went there, ruining the happy mood.

”Bette, you are so young and deserve more than that. Why don’t you understand that you can end up with a jail sentence?”

”Kit! I said don’t! Stop!” Bette barked at her loudly. She looked around and tensed, becoming conscious of people staring. ”Kit, what I’m here for? For you to lecture me? I believe it’s you, who should be lectured. I know what I’m doing” She hissed at her sister.

Kit looked away and Bette immediately realized that she shouldn’t have raised her voice at her recovering sister.

”I’m sorry” She said softly.

”Bette, I’m just concerned, that’s all”

”I know, I know. But you should be concerned for your health more. I’m gonna be okay, please trust me” Bette took Kit hands and rubbed them with her thumbs.

They continued to talk, until Bette needed to go. Kit hugged her sister as tightly as when she’s just come to see her. Promising to come for a visit again next week, Bette made her way out of the clinic. She looked at her hand watches and cursed. Time has flown by. She got in the SUV and glanced at the backseat. She saw Helena sitting there with her arms crossed, appearing to be very disgruntled, and Shane, playing with her Blackberry and not caring about her surroundings.
