Love Soul Heaven Hell – Chapter II
Bette observed them from the kitchen island, as she fixed the cheese tray, fruit, and crackers. Tina walked up to her, carrying a bottle of French red wine she’d fetched from the wine chiller, that they knew was a favorite of Luke’s. She handed the bottle to Bette, who absentmindedly uncorked it with a vacuum-style corkscrew as they both continued to watch the brothers talk in the dining room. Tina checked to see if Mike had responded to her. No word from him yet. Odd.
Bette and Tina looked at each other – while they each still harbored painful memories of the period when Bette had to suddenly leave their suite in Paris that early summer day several years ago, and the subsequent prolonged separation from each other while not being able to communicate with one another – the scene playing out between the brothers gave the women pause.
The brothers were obviously having a heart-to-heart conversation about something related to what Bette and Tina had undergone. Silently, they reached a decision: let’s hear him out.
Tina walked to the dining room, carrying the wine and four glasses, while Bette turned to walk towards the warming oven, where she’d had a french baguette warming.
She was glad that she and Tina had developed a system that allowed them to entertain guests with a minimum of fuss, and a maximum of taste. Hence, they always had a cheese tray chilling in the fridge, cheese elegantly pre-arranged, to allow either Bette or Tina to quickly pull something out to serve to guests dropping by. It was a staple appetizer that their guests could imbibe while giving the couple time to prepare more elaborate food, in case they needed to. They also had quince, several types of olives, nuts, and bowls of fruit at the ready, to accompany the cheese, or to serve alone, as well as a variety of water crackers, mini toasts and other things that would go with the cheese and fruit. The cabinet closest to the fridge housed matched sets of plates, cheese slicers, and small knives to set out together with the cheese trays. If they could see a particular guest was hungrier for something else, they had slices of prosciutto, bresoala, and parma ham at the ready, and chilling in individual packs, that they could quickly add to the cheese tray.
