Dana:  Um Alice said something about her wanting to open up her own gallery.  Alice thinks shes just bored and lonely.  So, you gonna come tonight? she asked again

For once in her life Tina had a useable excuse to get out of a situation, and it was a good one at that.  Nobody could protest it.  It was like when youre playing Monopoly and you land on community chest.  You slowly reach across the board and pick up a card, naturally you hope its the one that says youve just won second place in a beauty pageant collect ten dollars, because it makes you laugh but this time you got the get out of jail free card, the best card there is.  You could use it or sell it, its a win-win situation.

Tina:  Sorry Dane, im having dinner with my brother and his wife tonight.

Dana:  Ohh, you get to meet the baby?

Tina:  Yeah, my mom her pictures dont do her justice.

Dana:  How old is she now?

Tina:  Ten months I think, yeah ten months she said counting backwards in her mind

Dana:  Too cute, I defiantly want to meet her.

Tina:  Ill see what I can do about she smiled as she grabbed her keys and cell phone off the desk.  I am going to go pick up my keys now she raised her hands up in a celebratory manor.  Ill call you later.

Tina unpacked the things she brought over from her dorm room in to her new apartment on Palm Ave. in West Hollywood.  It was small and expensive but it was big enough for her especially when she wasnt paying for it.  Thank god for dad or she would have been stuck in that cramped dorm room forever.  The moment had arrived; Tina was excited to see her family.  It was strange sitting at dinner with her brother and his new family.  Tina  was having a when the ***** did I grow up and why didnt anyone tell me moment.  Instead of arguing over the remote they were exchanging slightly heated banter about politics.  Apparently Adam had become a Christina and a Republican.  She could get over that, really she could.  He was her brother after all, she could look past his flaws.  Tina couldnt get enough of her new little niece, she was beautiful, and in fact she was so beautiful Tina decided she was going to only refer to the little bundle as the cutest baby ever.
