    The Burden of Control – Chaper 8

     

    Bette: (nervously) Iuh hear this place serves some good
    food.

     

    Tina laughs and Bette smiles, relieved that some of the
    tension has broken.

     

    Tina: Ive been here once or twice. Perhaps I could offer
    some suggestions.

     

    Bette: (sighs) Im sorry.

     

    Tina: Sorry?

     

    Bette: For being late.

     

    Tina: Oh (she checks her watch) I hadnt noticed. We
    actually got out a little earlier than I had anticipated. Ive been here since
    four.

     

    Bette: *****. You could have called. I would have come
    earlier You didnt have to wait this long for me.

     

    Tina: Its ok. Really. I was able to catch up on my reading.

     

    Bette: That murder mystery that you were hooked on?

     

    Tina: (quietly) Actually, I finished that one last month.
    Im reading another by the same author.

     

    Bette: Oh. Yeah. I forget how quickly you get through books
    when youre really interested.

     

    Tina: Theres nothing like a little drama to keep me
    engrossed in the plot.

     

    Bette: Yeah. I never really had time to get involved in a
    story. Well not like you do, anyway.

     

    Tina: Well thats what happens when you spend a lot of time
    at home with nothing to do.

     

    Bette winces at the implied criticism. Tina, realizing what
    she had said, quickly reaches across the table at takes Bettes hand in her
    own. Bette looks at their joined hands then up at Tina, seeing the apology in
    her expression.

     

    Tina: Im sorry. I didnt mean it the way it sounded.

     

    Bette: Its ok. Youre right. I didnt spend enough time at
    home.

     

    Tina: Youre a very busy person Bette.

     

    Bette: No, I made myself busier than I needed to be.  I took on others responsibilities because I
    wanted to make sure they were done correctly. I shouldnt have done that.

     

    Tina: You just wanted to make things run smoothly for The
    C.A.C.

     

    Bette: At the expense of my marriage.

    1. OMG you gave me hope and then they both chickened out both have things that need to be said get it out already!!!! secrects only hurt those your trying to protect!!!!

    2. Your dialogue is very realistic and easy to read.
      I was squirming in my seat, waiting for Tina to drop the news on Bette. They both have a vital secret to share and they’re both withholding, so much in character and part of their pattern and problem.
      Thanks!
