“Okay, Mike. Better?” Tina asks.

“Yeah.” He says as he chuckles. “We should get going I guess.” He says and stands up. Just then there was a knock on the door and Bette peek her head inside.

“Hi, can I come in?” She says and smiles. Tina walks over and kisses her softly.

“You don’t have to ask.” Tina says.

“Hey Bette.” Both Michael and Megan says.

“Hey, guys, getting ready to go home?” Bette asks.

“Yeah.” Michael says.

“Okay, have you gotten everything in the car? You haven’t left anything behind?” Tina asks as she looks around.

“No, I think we’ve got it all. If not, we have an excuse to come up again soon.” Michael says with a smile.

“Yeah… I’m gonna miss you guys.” Tina says and pulls Megan into a hug.

“We’ll miss you too sis.” Michael says. They hug each other too.

Megan walks across to Bette and hugs her too.

“I like you.” She says and looks up at Bette.

“Aw, I like you too, very much so. Maybe next time we’ll see each other you can do my hair. Because I really liked Tina’s hairdo.” Bette says and smiles at the young girl.

“Really?” Megan asks, she looks from Bette to Tina. Tina smile and nods.

“Yes, really.” Bette says and gives her another hug.

Michael walks over to Bette and moves to shake her hand.

“I’m really glad my sister found you. Please don’t hurt her?” He says.

“I won’t ever hurt her.” Bette says softly and gives him a smile. She glances up at Tina.

“Okay, good. Well I  guess we should get going Megs.” He says and turns towards Tina.

“Yeah, you should, it’s a long drive. Please drive carefully.” Tina says.

“I always do.” Michael says and smiles. “Megan, get your jacket, let’s hit the road.” He says.

They all walk outside to the car and Tina gets a little emotional. Bette pulls her close by putting her arm around Tina’s shoulder. They wave them off.

“You okay?” Bette asks as they see the car disappear down the road and round a corner.

“Yeah, it’s just… I don’t get to see them very often.” Tina says.

“It’s not that long till Christmas or thanksgiving you know.” Bette says and smiles.

“I guess.” Tina says. “So, when are we leaving?” Tina asks curiously.

“Anytime is good. We could go now?” Bette asks.

“Sure, just let me grab my purse and my jacket.” Tina says. They walk inside again. After a few minutes they’re ready. They take Bette’s car. Both are silent in the drive. Tina looks over to Bette a few times and she can see that something is bugging Bette.

“Is everything okay?” Tina asks, softly touching Bette’s hand that rests on her thigh.

“I’m fine.” Bette replies and smiles, not the bright smile Tina is used too, but a faded smile.

As they coming closer to their destination, Tina understands where they’re going.

“Bette? Why are you taking me here?” Tina asks a little worried.
