“Now I’m worried. We haven’t even started on most of our current life-changing events, and you’re about to introduce a new one? We’ve yet to move here permanently. We need to get Angie enrolled and acclimated to a new school. We’re expanding our family in a few months. The gallery is just getting started. I’m changing careers and starting my own business. What more can we take on right now Babe?”
“You’re right baby. I haven’t made any commitments even though in Peggy’s mind she thinks I have. But hear me out. We’ll take it one thing at a time. First, I don’t think it’s going to affect any of our plans to move this summer, or to get Angie used to the new school. We both want to try for a baby in August or September and we will. Your leaving the center and starting your own business shouldn’t be affected either.”
“That only leaves the gallery.”
“Correct but considering that Kristen has already taken on so much responsibility and she’s is doing such a great job I don’t think the success of the gallery is in question. I think she could take over the day to day operations without a hiccup freeing me to pursue this new venture.”
“What new venture?”
“Tee. Peggy has offered me the Directorship of the Peabody Arts Foundation. She wants to retire, and she wants me to be her successor.”
“Babe. Are you kidding me?”
“I am dead serious. It gets even better. She’s moving to Los Angeles and she’s relocating the Foundation headquarters here. If I take the position there will be some travel involved, but it will be minimal. The best part is I set my own schedule and I have full access to the company jet. The traveling was one of my biggest concerns. I wouldn’t even consider it if I had to be headquartered in New York. I promised you that I will be here for you and our family especially once you get pregnant and I mean it Tee. I’m not going to abandon you emotionally or physically ever again.”
“Thank you for saying that Babe, because that immediately alleviates one of my concerns. Tell me more about this offer.”

Okay, so Helena is in prison and may get out in two years. Peggy still has not told Bette and Tina exactly what is in the will but has intimated that they will get a significant portion of her estate. Of course Winnie will probably get a significant portion as well. So how will Helena support herself? I’m sure she has no job skills and with a criminal record, she is going to find employment difficult. The way she has treated people in the past, its going to be difficult for her to develop any kind of permanent relationship. Helena’s life is not going to be easy in the future. Of course, there is always a chance that Helena will see the error of her ways and change her life. But I do not see this with this Helena.
This is the first time Angie has been in a situation where she was not the oldest child nor was she the center of attention. And it appears that at the center, she and Wilson and Jang Yin were all put in separate groups. So Angie did not carry the roll of leader of pack. This is a new experience for her and I wonder how she will respond to it. Hopefully she will respond positively.
Love how Bette and Peggy interact together. I just hope that Peggy will take some time to interact with Tina on her own as well. Although Peggy has a favorable impression of Tina, she needs to know Tina and see the qualities she brings to the relationship with Bette and to forge her own relationship with Tina as an individual.
Now, I cannot believe that Bette is going to give up on being the bumper car champion. Bette really is maturing in a responsible parent. Sometime you win more if you just let it go and acknowledge you cannot win them all.
Love this story….. keep the chapters comming….
That Helena thing might be terrifying, she will have no money but she’ll have some connections with bad people …
Thanks for the post.
Please don’t let Bette and Peggy sideline Tina.
Happy to know where Helena is and await her Story,
Along for the Ride as always!
