“Okay. You want Angel in the day care or here? I’ll be more than happy to have her here.” Bette says.

“Weren’t you going to pack?” Tina asks.

“Yeah, Angel can help me or she’ll play in the playpen. And she’ll be taking a nap.” Bette says.

“Well, okay then. I guess I’ll see you soon? Are you sure you’ll be okay? The leg, it’s better?” Tina asks and stands up from the kitchen table.

“Yes, I’ll be fine.” Bette says and smiles.

“Okay, you want me to come here after work?” Tina asks.

“T, I… want to. But I could use one night alone. A lot has happened lately. I just need to think for a while.” Bette says and takes Tina into her arms. “You understand?” Bette asks.

“Yes, I do. I guess we could use a night on our own.” Tina replies.

“Thank you.” Bette says and leans in for a kiss.

“I’ll come and get Angel after work. Give you the might alone.” Tina says.

“Okay, thank you.” Bette says and leans in for another kiss.

“Have a good day, I love you.” Tina says and lets go of Bette and picks up Angelica. “I want you to be good to mama, okay? And I’ll see you again tonight when I come pick you up.” Tina says and kisses Angelica’s chin.

“Okay.” Angelica says and smiles.

Tina sets her down on the floor and she goes running into the living room to play with her toys. Tina turns to Bette.
”I’ll miss you. See you at five.” Tina says and leans in for another kiss and then grabs her purse by the door and leaves.

Bette walks up to the door and sees Tina driving off. Angelica comes running to her.

“Mama, open this?” She asks as she holds a box up to Bette.

“Sure, sweetie, what’s inside?” Bette asks.

“My little pony, pink one.” Angelica replies and waits eagerly for Bette to open it up.

“Here you go sweetie.” Bette says and gives it back to Angelica.

“Thank you.” Angelica replies and runs for her room.

Bette walks back into the kitchen, and takes out a pad and a pen. She takes a seat at the table and starts writing a list, what to keep and what to throw a way or give away. Maybe even Tina wanted something for her apartment. She would ask her later.
