“Ellie, what’s going on? Come on give her a chance.”
“I am, Mom. Does she ever stop talking?”
Tina raised her eyebrow at her daughter and smirked.”
“Ellie…”
Ellie left and walked into the Gallery.
“Okay Ellie you and I will be working on framing and going through the art work while your Mom and James start working on the displays. Ready?”
Bette beamed at Ellie.
“Sure.”
As they began the tasks, Bette caught Tina as she went into her office.
“I think it’s going really well, don’t you?”
Tina looked at Bette with a confused expression but recovered quickly.
“Oh Babe, you’re doing great. Thank you.”
Tina leaned in to give Bette a kiss but Bette jumped a mile.
“T, be careful.”
Tina smiled at Bette warmly.
“I love you, Babe.”
“I love you too. Come on let’s go have some fun.”
Tina couldn’t help but smile at Bette’s exuberance. ‘God, she loved this woman.’

They all got to work. After about three hours Bette stopped. She had been so focused on the framing and the artwork that she hadn’t realized how long they’d been at it. She looked at her watch and called to the others.
“Guys, I’m so sorry. Let’s break for lunch. Hey why don’t I take us all over to Luigis?”
“Babe, that sounds great. I’m starved.”
James chimed in. “Me too, that sounds great.”
Ellie whispered. “I guess…”
Bette beamed.
“Well I guess we have a plan. Let’s go.”

They were seated quickly at the restaurant, placed their orders and were waiting for their food. The conversation was light. Bette had continued to be adorable and had continually tried to draw Ellie into the conversation. She was having little success but she continued on seemingly unfazed.
“Ellie did your Mom tell you about her interview?”
Tina choked on her water.
“Bette, you wouldn’t.”
“C’mon T it was adorable.”
Ellie looked at Tina.
“Mom, your interview was adorable? You are so going to tell me.”
Tina blushed.
“Well, you know I had a string of pretty unsuccessful interviews and I was a little nervous.”
Bette was laughing.
“A little, T you almost hit me in the nose when you stormed in and pushed your hand in my face to shake my hand.”

Totally wonderful. I love that you post frequently. The story really flows. It helps that you write really well. ;-)
Awww How wonderful! I’m glad they are all getting along!
Another successful chapter, everything working out well for the two love birds. Ellie’s reaction to Bette scared me a little, but it was all for nothing. Thanks for the post, I bow in your greatness.
Great Update!!! I am glad Ellie is opening up alittle with Bette. Thank you PPS
Shouldn’t they be at the house by NOW??????????????
Porter’s Charm went well, I guess. .. thx a lot for your update :)
yhey yhey yhey! i like how this plyaed out.
Fantastic update. Thank you :)
loved it. just the right balance of awkwardness and acceptance from ellie. love how you show how deeply in love B&T are with all the little details. keep up the great work!
Gosh at last Ellie chilled out lol. They had a great time at the gallery and the night is not finished yet great. PPVS
This chapter was fantastic. Even though Ellie has accepted Bette and Tina’s relationship it will still take her a little time to be completely comfortable with it. They all are making good progress. Wonderful chapter. Thanks for posting.
I was anxious for Bette. How would Ellie take the interaction? I think you did a wonderful job. If Ellie totally fell over Bette it would seem so unrealistic. It would take at least a day to get adjusted. Wonderful story of mature relsationships.
Great interaction btwn them…
I thought for a while there, that Ellie was being a typical sullen teenager, doing that “trying-but-not-really” thing, with the one word answers and general silence. But Bette never stopped trying and Ellie’s warmed to her a bit, and I’m sure it helped that Ellie is starting to see just how much Bette loves her mom. As always, great chapter, DnA. Thanks for the post. :)
I guess I wasn’t too surprised at Ellie’s reaction. She and Tina are close, and she just found out her mother was disrespected in her marriage. Bette was so funny being so focused on impressing Ellie that she didn’t notice anything going on around her. I love this story, and you write so well.
Thanks for this post. Bette was so adorable trying so hard to make a good impression on Ellie. I love to see Bette in her overachieving mode. It’s a very endearing part of her personality.
Great, T got B to stop working and later maybe to stop talking. Really enjoying this and the interview retelling was fun.
This is melting my heart by the chapter that im so scared of all the happiness!
