Some Christmas – Part 4
“Hello?” Bette’s voice sounded unsure.
“I’m in here,” Tina called.
Bette appeared in the kitchen and regarded Tina with surprise. “I wasn’t expecting you home this early.”
Tina looked over her shoulder and noticed Bette was fixed up. “You look nice,” she said. “Busy day?”
Bette looked evasive. “I had some things to do. Errands. I had to hurry back to get here before Angelica came home from school. If I had known you were going to be here, I wouldn’t have had to rush.”
“Sorry.”
“Doesn’t matter.”
Tina was about to tell Bette that she really wanted to talk, but Bette was already turning away. “Guess I’ll go change,” she said.
Tina went back to chopping vegetables and tried not to get frustrated. She focused on the good things that had happened in the last three weeks or so. There had been a definite thawing in relations between herself and Bette. They’d had fun doing little holiday things with Angie. They still felt like a family, fighting or no fighting. She would remind Bette of that when they had their talk.
The front door opened again and Angie was home. Tina smiled at Angie when she came into the kitchen. “Hi, sweetie.”
“Hi. You’re home early.”
“I am. How was your day at school? Did you enjoy your winter assembly?”
Angie shrugged. “It was okay, I guess.”
“Today was your last day, right?”
Angie nodded.
“So why aren’t you more excited? You’ve got a long break and Christmas is right around the corner.”
Angie climbed up onto a stool and rested her elbows on the counter. “I know.”
“Don’t tell me you’re not happy about Christmas.”
“I am,” Angie said.
“You’re not,” Tina said gently. “What’s wrong?”
Angie paused and looked away. “Can I have a snack? I’m hungry.”
Tina went to the fridge and quickly cut up an apple for Angie and placed it on a saucer in front of her. “Are you going to answer my question? I just want to know what’s bothering you. You can tell me anything, you know.”
“Nothing’s bothing me,” Angie said around a mouthful of apple.
