    The Journey 19

    Bette – I promised myself when I returned to LA I would not spend as much time as work as what I did when I was working for CAC. It is impossible for me not to spend a reasonable amount of time at work, it is just ingrained in my personality but I have made it my practice to go in early and leave no later than 7pm. On the nights when I am supposed to have Laurel or it is family night I leave at 5:30pm. Being Thursday I had just closed my laptop and the door to my office. As I opened the door outside I realized the sun was shining and I no idea it was this hot. As the door closed behind me and I made my way to the car I hear my cell ringing. In my right hand I flip it open and see Tina’s work number.

    Bette : “Hey Tina”

    Tina : “Hi Bette”

    Bette : “Everything OK, shouldn’t you be on your way to the house ?”

    Tina : “I am kinda stuck at work for a bit.”

    Bette : my heart begins to sink, I have gotten quite used to seeing Tina regularly and spending time with Laurel but sooner or later this would happen.

    Tina : “So I was wondering maybe if you wanted, you could pick Laurel up, grab some take out, swing by and get me and we could head down to the beach.”

    Bette : I looked up at the sky, blue, blue. “Why not, give me time to go home and get changed and we’ll be by in an hour or so. I’m in the car now.”

    Tina : In the car now. I wonder, since when does Bette leave work at 5:30pm ? “Great, see you then.”

     I made my way home, called and ordered the take out, changed, whistled for choco and he came bounding. I grabbed a couple of towels and headed for the car. We made our way to Tina’s office. I called her to say we were 5 minutes away and when we arrived Tina was waiting out the front.

     Tina : “hey, thanks”

    Bette : “No problem, I think it’s a great idea. I bought choco, I hope that’s OK” choco barked when I said his name. Tina turns around to see Laurel in a baby seat and choco in a doggie restraint seat. I see the amused look on her face.

    1. oh god, i simply LOVE this story . at points in the dialogue i hold my breath … i know it’s only fiction . but it truly makes me smile and sometimes makes me want to cry … so looking forward to the next chapter …

    2. Hey, hey!!!! I’m so glad you posted…this story is one of my favorites on this site!!! Felt like I was right there listening in on their conversation, the writing is so real and descriptive. Thanks!

    3. “Tina : “Agreed.” and I smile at Bette. Aware this conversation could have gone a lot worse.”

      Your Tina is very smart to give this(still temperamental) Bette more time to vent. You’ve given Tina an admirable sense of restraint; she didn’t give in to the temptation to immediately point out all the bad/sad things she’d endured alone when Bette fled to NY.

      You’ve given us hope that these two will finally learn to really listen to each other.

    4. what a joy to wake up to this great story. love your dialogue. their internal conflicts. trying ever so hard to stay on task. can feel the love and nerveousness between them.
