Sam: “So why did you move to Chicago if you like it here so much?” she asks voice full of curiosity.
Bette: “Well, I was in a relationship for a while and we broke up so I decided to move.” she says fast and simple hoping for no more questions about the past.
Sam: “Why did you break up?”
Bette: “Sam that is a really hard subject for me and it is also one that I think you should wait to hear until you are older.” she says while she puts the fish and veggies on the indoor grill.
Sam: “If I make a new friend at school tomorrow can I bring them home?”
Bette: “So you’re going from ‘you’re never going to meet any friends’ to bringing one home tomorrow?” she says with a grin.
Sam: “Well” she stutters knowing she cannot play her poor me card anymore. “Can I? I mean if I can actually find someone who is cool.
Bette: “Sure I have a meeting with an old friend tomorrow afternoon, but I should be home by the time you get home from school.”
Sam: “Cool. Who is it?”
Bette: “Who is who?”
Sam: “The old friend mom.” she says laughing at her mom’s slowing short term memory.
Bette: “Oh sorry, my old friend James is the new director at an old art gallery I used to work for.”
Sam: “You used to work for a gallery? I thought that you always just painted. I mean that is what you do for a living right?” she says wondering if she actually knows what the hell her mom does for a job.
Bette: “When I found out I was pregnant with you; I decided that I didn’t want to have to go back to work full time so I started painting and then after awhile I had enough for a show and at that show some of my paintings sold, and now yesthat is how I make a living.” she says turning the fish over.
Sam: “Ok, because that would have been so sad if I didn’t even know your occupation.” she says with relief.
Bette: “Could you please get out plates and silverware.” she says filling to glasses with lemon tea.
