“No. She’s fine.” Tina said. Her face lit up as she thought of her little girl and Bette returned the smile. “But I need to ask you a favor.” Tina said as her expression grew somber once again.
“Go ahead.” Bette said as she placed her glass on the table.
“Do you think you could take Angie for the next week or two?” Tina asked without giving anything away.
“Of course I’ll take her, Tina, but I’d really like to know why.” Bette replied evenly as she searched her ex-wife’s expression for any clue as to what was going on. “Is something the matter with you and Henry?”
“Kind of.” Tina confessed.
Bette’s heart skipped a beat as her mind sifted through the possibilities.
“His father is sick and there’s no-one to run the family farm. His parents have asked him to move back and take it over.”
“He’s from somewhere up near Fresno right?” Bette questioned vaguely.
“A little further north than that.” Tina replied “He’s from Canada. Saskatchewan to be exact.”
It was all Bette could do not to laugh. The thought of Tina as a farmer’s wife had a rather comical appeal until she realized what this meant in terms of visitation rights. With this final thought Bette felt like her life could be headed into yet another tail spin and she tried to brace herself for whatever blow was coming.
“I take it he’s going?” Bette asked quietly.
“He leaves at the end of the month.” Tina replied.
“And what about you and Angie?” Bette swallowed hard as she waited anxiously for Tina’s response.
“I don’t know.” Tina whispered. She looked for all the world like a lost little girl sitting there on the lounge. Bette’s heart ached as she barely resisted the urge to take Tina in her arms and reassure her.
When Tina began to cry Bette’s resolve dissipated. She slipped across onto the couch beside Tina and took the visibly upset woman in her arms. To her surprise, Tina offered no resistance.
Bette held and comforted Tina as she had countless times before. She never could stand to see Tina brokenhearted. It was the closest thing to a normal interaction they had shared in more months than Bette cared to remember.

Great chapter hope that you dont take so long to post another chapter, I hope that once they are under the one roof they realise that, that is where they belong, poor Abby she never stood a chance

No, no way in hell could Tina be a farmer’s wife. I wonder if Abby will shit a brick when she finds out Tina will be sorta moving back in?
