“Come in,” she called.
It was Joel. “Hey. You okay?”
Tina pasted a smile on her face. “Of course I am.”
“I managed to get those tickets you asked about.”
“Tickets?” Tina frowned, trying to remember.
“To The Nutcracker. You told me your daughter wanted to see it.”
Tina felt like smacking her forehead with her hand. “Of course! I can’t believe I forgot about that. And you say you got the tickets?”
“Three of them, yeah,” he said, handing an envelope over to Tina.
“Oh, thank you,” Tina said gratefully. “I know this will mean a lot to Angie.” Tina smiled a little at Joel. “Are you sure you don’t want these for yourself?”
“Positive. Anne is on bed rest. Ballet is definitely more her thing than mine.”
“I’m sorry to hear that,” Tina said. “She’s probably bored out of her mind.”
“Not really. We’re just waiting it out.”
“When is the baby due?”
“The 29th.”
“That’s so exciting! I’m really happy for you, Joel. Sorry I’ve been working you so hard. But at least now it’s over and you can focus on Anne.”
“That’s exactly what I plan to do,” Joel said with an easy smile. “I’ll see you after Christmas. Enjoy the show,” he said, nodding at the tickets Tina still held in her hand.
After she said goodbye and he had left, Tina tucked the tickets away in her bag and shook her head, all the while thinking about what a great guy Joel was and how horrified he’d be if he knew how he had inadvertantly caused a problem in Tina’s personal life.
With a sigh, Tina gathered her stuff, said some more goodbyes around the office and headed home early for a change. All the way there, she thought about Bette, who hadn’t been especially present around the house lately. By the time she got home, Tina had resolved to talk things through with Bette once and for all. She was sure there was nothing they couldn’t work out.
When she got in, the house was totally quiet. Angie wasn’t home yet, and Bette was nowhere to be found. Tina went upstairs and changed and then decided to start dinner. It wasn’t long before she heard the front door open and close.
