“Thank you.” I whisper, sincerely.
“Are you feeling okay?” She asks, concerned. Standing, she comes over and put her blessedly cool hand on my forehead. “You’re burning up a little.”
It’s bizarre having an almost perfect stranger here in my home, worried about how I am feeling, supplying breakfast and conversation.
“I’m fine,” I whisper, touched more then I can say. “It’s probably just a cold.”
She doesn’t look at all convinced, but returns to her seat anyway. “You’re just really pale Bette.” With less enthusiasm then before, she tucks back into her breakfast, pausing between mouthfuls to watch me.
I put a little cream cheese on another corner of my croissant and bite into it, finding the croissant pleasant and buttery and my stomach a little more stable.
“So, Ms Kennard – do you always devour so much for breakfast.”
Raising her eyebrows she grins at me like a child, “Not usually, but I went for a run this morn. I’m starving.”
I am about to counter that we don’t really know what starving is, but people shouldn’t be punished for colloquial language. “So I see.”
We share pleasant conversation for the remainder of breakfast and move into the living room where I have the photographs and some notes.
I offer her a seat on the lounge, and take one on the floor. When in the living room, I always feel more comfortable working with my photos from this level, I don’t know why… just one of the 1000 quirks I happily carry.
Sliding off the lounge, Tina joins me. “Isn’t this where we need to help of Scooby or the Power Puff girls?” Tina questioned seriously, the only give away to her intent was the mischievous twinkle in her eyes.
“Nah, they need to rest.” I weakly retort, having no better come back on hand.
Tina caught my eye before bursting into laughter. For the second time in 48 hours, there was laughter in the house.
I prayed for more.
**********
We ended up not getting any work done, as Tina was called out to a publishing emergency. I offered her the super heroes but she declined. She did leave with a copy of The Incredibles to watch, so I figure those could help her. They had to, given that the woman hadn’t even seen the movie. It’s a Pixar film for fucks sake, that woman needs to stop reading and start watching.

Hello My Beautiful Dee… finally finding myself catching up… yeah I’ve been off for a bit but alas I’m back lucky you huh lol… so I am ready and able to take my place as your personal ‘Fanner’ if it means getting more of your incredible words… I completely love how perceptive and inquisitive Tina is towards our beautiful Bette, she sees between the lines, within the deepness of Bette and picks up on the small details that make up her character much like all the minute details you brilliantly place throughout your stories that truly make them flow and ebb like I am being given an pass to an intimate place within these characters lives… with your words and your writing I can hear music… I feel the emotions… I can experience life… love and hugs, always and forever, JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels and ever loving Cuzzie to the ever talented Eunichick and Personal Fanner to the Incredibly Talent Deean)
Hi, dearest sweet Deean! We couldn’t help our huge grin during the scenes where Tina was around Bette. Just like we said earlier: a fresh breeze of joy is always welcome when your life seems hard and a good laugh surely enlightens your day. We snorted with the comment of the Scobbydo and power puff’s girls. Hahaha Oh, and the Incredibles movie is a hoot. We love it! We watch it often with our nephews. We are glad that Bette decided to leave the house and drop a visit to Kit. Anything to keep her away from being secluded. Her concern for Shaney’s injures, reminded us of a saying that goes: “Those who are willing to help, are the ones who really need to be helped”. Thanks for this amazing update, dear friend. PPS Hugs and kisses on both your cheeks.- Lucero & Marsha (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick)P.S. We are starting to enjoy your Tina. *grin*
