Lifeless Chptr. 10
She helped Tina to sit down and still gave her hand willingly. Tina never said a word she just ran her thumb back and forth over the small knuckles of the doctor. Her manicured, short nails were perfectly cleaned and trimmed. She imagined how much care and time went into just cleaning her nails. There were so many similarities between this woman and her husband. It seemed the only difference was gender. Tina caught herself some times seeing Rick in everything that Bette did around her. Her company was desired and painful all the same.
In the softest and most gentle voice completely empty of it’s usual light cadence she spoke, “After you left…, I moved the rocker into the nursery. And I just looked around at the room, I– I wanted Rick so bad.” her voice broke as she tried so hard to get the last part out. “The biggest part of my life is gone. It hurts so bad that he’s not here with me.” she tucked in her bottom lip biting down trying to fight this constant need to cry through the pain.
“Tina, there’s so much of Rick still with you–”
“All I have are memories, and belongings that use to hold such a significant part of my everyday life. His car keys, his clothes, his jewelry, his fucking coffee maker! The more I move around these things the more I feel like he’s going to walk through the front door.” Tina said with her eyes brimmed with tears. “Do you know what that’s like? I keep busy so I don’t sit around, hoping for the door to open.” Tina shook her head and looked up at the ceiling willing this drum of pain to stop.
“…the baby?” Bette whispered.
“This baby.” she whispered to herself. In a bitter smile shook her head and looked to Bette, “You know I don’t remember my brother.” she nodded her head as she continued. “I really only have one memory of him. He threw up in my hair when I picked him up after he ate.” She said with a laughing smile that didn’t penetrate her mournful eyes. She sniffled and ran the back of her hand under eyes. “That’s it.” Tina’s other hand had stopped running across Bette’s knuckles and she had stopped herself from running Bette’s pinky between her fingers.
