“Do you approve Emma – that means a lot to Bette ?”
“Yes – Bette is lovely. When I met her I did think she was like her father but the more she comes out of her shell the more she is your child Rosie. “

“And that is a good thing ?”

Emma laughed “ You know it is – I think she’s lovely and she makes Tina happy. I approve and I will do what I can for them and I am sure there are times when I will turn a blind eye or ear to them doing what they are going to discover sooner or later”

“You mean they haven’t ?” Rosemary asked

“No – you haven’t asked Bette ? “ Kate said

“No – I just thought they had “
“They haven’t. I have asked Tina twice and I think if anything they are both nervous and they are aware that they both have zero experience.”

Rosemary shrugged “Well I guess they will figure it out for themselves. They have Shane and Carmen to have the sort of conversations they won’t have with us. “

“There is something we do need to talk about – to agree between the three of us”

Kate said

“Leave Melvin to me – I am very annoyed with him – this feud is not going on much longer. Enough is enough and I mean that “

“Well – yes – we do have to talk about Melvin but there is something else. Something that Emma and I started talking about last night when we were in bed. We stayed up for hours just talking about it”

Rosemary took another long drink of her cocktail

“Are we going to need another cocktail to discuss this ?”

“We need to drink this cocktail before the waiter comes and gets us because our table is ready. “

“Shame – well I suppose you are right – what do we all need to discuss ?”

Kate looked at Emma and looked at Rosemary

“Are we going to let them sleep together ?”

Rosemary rubbed her hair “Now that is a good question. I have no issue with them having sex. I would feel different if it was a guy Bette was dating but its not. “
“Yeah – that’s what we said “ Kate took a drink of her cocktail “ For me – and this is just me – I would like to see them together a little more. Its still very early days and from Tina has said – its going to be a little while longer before they are wanting to sleep together. If there is a real deep emotional commitment between them- well I am happy about it – they will have my blessing. I have high hopes that they are going to develop and becoming a good couple. But for now – I would like to wait and see”
