Such as the note she’d slipped into Bette’s napkin this morning.  One day, when they were old and gray, Tina and Bette would probably have fun going over them. 

“So what did Arvind say again?,” Tina was asking. 

“He said that one of the firms in the chamber of commerce that he’s a member of may be looking to raise funding from new investors, to finance an expansion.  Since almost all of his own money is reinvested in his own company, he thought George and I may be interested in putting money in this firm.  It’s based in Hyderabad, India, and the company will be conducting meetings with interested investors in their headquarters in a couple of weeks.  Which is around the time we were planning to finally go on our honeymoon, right?,” Bette explained, as she cut into the waffle, and eating a piece with strawberries Tina had sliced for her, thoughtfully arranged in a heart-shape. 

“Hyderabad?,” Tina asked.  She wrinkled her eyebrows in thought.  “Is that any place near where we plan to go?” 

Tina had left the planning of their rescheduled honeymoon to Bette, because the first time they’d planned to take the honeymoon, scheduled to start right after their wedding, Tina was called by the studio a week before the wedding, asking her to take over production of a major film.  The studio had explained the main producer had finally thrown in the towel in that problematic project.  They called Tina in panic hours later, asking her to consider taking over production duties over the film. 

But this meant Tina would have to go onsite for at least two weeks, maybe more.  As the call progressed, the studio chief had been joined by William, the majority owner of Film Features. 

Tina grew increasingly irritated, as she discussed the situation with the studio chief and other senior guys in the studio, feeling they were being unreasonable asking for her help with this one. 

Besides, she thought, this was a decision she had to make with Bette, given it would affect their honeymoon.  “Let’s talk to Bette on this one, since this decision affects her also,” she said firmly.  “I’m
putting you on speaker,” she announced, as she shifted the call to speaker mode, while texting Bette to please come join her in the kitchen.
