New York Minute – chapter 39
New York Minute
Chapter 39
 
“Hello Tina “
Tina turned and smiled at Casey “Hey there “
“I was getting concerned about you – Bette’s dropped Angie off for the last few days – you okay ?”
Tina liked the Australian woman – so far she was the only friend she had made so far since moving to New York. She was aware that she was becoming more isolated and that was never a good omen for their relationship.
Tina nodded “ I have been feeling a little under the weather and Bette is so good with Angie that I usually feel redundant in the mornings because they have quickly got a routine worked out”
Casey pulled a face “Mm – Jess is like that – it can be useful and it can be utterly annoying”
Tina laughed “ You want a coffee – or do you have things to do ?”
“Let me think – Jess’s dry cleaning to pick up, a pedicure at 1:30 and getting some new winter boots for our pride and joy Bella – nah – I think I can slot you in “
Tina could empathise with Casey’s sarcastic description of what her day had ahead of her.
“Great – I could do with someone just to talk to – lets go “
The two women headed out of the school gates and started heading towards the same café they had been previously.
“Happy to help – do you know Jocasta’s mother ?”
“Jocasta ?” Tina said raising an eyebrow
“Yes – lets just say that I think one of the lessons we need to learn fast as parents of children who have just started school is not to blink twice when you hear some weird name “
“You are probably right “
“Anyway – she started chatting to me yesterday and she suggested a coffee so we went off ““And ?”
Casey rolled her eyes “ I know that I am a little off beam at times but fair dinkum mate “
“Fair dinkum ?” Tina said
Casey laughed “You can take Australia out of the girl but not the other way round. Sorry – where was I ? oh yeah – lets just say I didn’t think it was possible to have as little in common with another woman “
