“I feel better “

“Good – want to tell me what’s started this round of rage ?”

“My father doesn’t want to come over on the same flight as my mother and Jonathan “

Bette shook her head “I thought he had accepted that she’s moved on – isn’t he seeing the owner of that coffee shop “

“Yes he is and yes he is a fool – -but he doesn’t want to bring Ms Coffee Shop to his daughter’s wedding – mom does want to bring Jonathan – so he gets a different flight – so what “

“It means that when we pick up mom we have to drop her off and then have a few hours with her and come back to the airport to get him. “

“What about your grandparents – are they coming or not because I need to confirm the hotel for them ?”

“Gran definitely wants to come “

“I would hope that your grandfather would as well “

“He has never been to LA “

“Well its about time he got himself over here – is he afraid of something – please tell me he’s flown in an airplane before “

“Yes – going to Korea to fight “

Well done Bette – that was a well inserted foot in mouth

“Okay – I am sorry for that comment – why does he not want to see him grand-daughter exchange vows with her partner – I don’t think he has issues with me being gay “

“No – I know that’s not it – I wish this wasn’t getting so complicated “

“Our wedding is not complicated – your family is “

Bette thought that was another remark that Tina was going to resent but she grinned and kissed Bette on the lips “I know that – I have known that since I was 5 that my family are nothing like any other.”

“I wondered by the way you were losing your cool if maybe the subject of your sister had come up “

“Only briefly “

Bette raised an eyebrow “And ?”

“I stand by what I have said for the last few months – she’s not welcome at the wedding and I don’t think she cares. She’s self centred and only interested in money and she doesn’t give a rats for any of us “
