I was relieved, and I found myself giggling softly. “No, I don’t have an eating disorder.” I like food far too much to give it up willingly, furthermore after watching entire generations of families die due to malnutrition, there is no way I want to go out that way not that there are an awful lot of pleasant ways of dying.
Tina looked confused as she scratched her nose with her chipped nails. Obviously, this is a woman was a working woman, and I couldn’t help but really love that about her. If she was perfectly put together I don’t think I would have entertained her for a moment.
“Okay,” Tina said, interrupting me from my thoughts. “I’ll trust you here, but I hope you know you can talk to me. I am not blind and I know something is going on.”
It’s okay if Tina suspected that there was something wrong, but I couldn’t let her find out. I wanted her to be here because she wanted too… if I am honest with myself, I wanted her to be the one person in my life who didn’t look at me like a sick person.
Sometimes, it was nice to pretend I was well.
Daddy was coming today. When my father was around I always felt like a child, not because he would treat me as such, but because I was always so excited to see him. It reminded me of the times that he would travel when I was young, leaving me with Kit, then the Peabody’s after she left and eventually by myself. It didn’t matter who I was, or how old I was, the night before he came home I would lie awake outside under the stars and daydream.
Some days I would dream that Daddy would never have to leave again, that he and I would be the family that I had always dreamed of. The family that I always saw when I went to the Peabody’s home. Helena’s parents for all their millions and business interests were always home with Helena, and if one of them had to travel, the other always remained.
It was something I could only dream of, but it wasn’t meant to be in my life.

I am so glad u r back, have missed ur stories which r brilliant btw:)PPS
I’m not sure I’ve ever considered whether someone has an eating disorder as relevant to working together. Then again, I’m not sure I’ve ever worked with anyone who looked like they had an eating disorder.
Great to see you back. Love all your stories and will wait patiently for another chapter of each. I think Tina will get to the bottom of Bette’s health issue…she doesn’t seem the type to give up without finding out the real story.
Hello My Beautiful Dee… woo hoo I am so happy to see you back with all of your stories… your ability to convey such raw emotions and terror is such a gift… I love how perceptive Tina is of Bette’s overall condition… working closely with one another it gives you a deeper understanding… you learn to read body language and the minor nuances that most might let pass but for those that can read others its an important gift… I also love that you have done something much different with Bette’s relationship with her father or at least it is implied that they have a somewhat healthy relationship… I like it when people try to reach beyond the stereotypes of a person and create something new… hmmmmm… I will be emailing you very soon my love cause I want some updates on all your kewl stuff coming on :D… love and hugs, JC
I am caught up for the story. This is something new for me to read. Tina not as involved as in other stories. She has come in later and with less frequency. I hope they develop a relationship and fall in love. PPS
I am so glad Helena is in Bette lif and love her so much it helps Bette through what she is suffering. I hope Bette will be ok at the end. PPVS
I waited for this chapter a lot but was worth it. :o)
