The Journey 32
Bette: I immediately grasp Tina’s meaning and I nod unconsciously. “I think it’s beautiful.” As I look across the table at Tina.
Tina: I’d never forgotten Bette’s beauty when we were apart but reminders like this one are always welcome. The candle light flickered on her skin, she is smiling and watching me intently, I see her beautiful eyes and magnificent smile. I smile to myself and look down instinctively as I blush. I look up, more serious. “Bette, I wanted a setting where we could talk, as equals, where memories will not inflame difficult conversations, where we could take our time with out fear of interruptions, be a family and if we desired to, a setting where we could begin to move forward.”
Bette: Tina’s last comment is not lost on me and God she is amazing. “I think you have achieved that.” I say it not entirely seriously but Tina knows I have a serious intent. “Thank you Tee.”
Tina: “Thank you? Bette, you used to run a mile at the thought of having any conversation that involved talking about how you feel.”
Bette: I laugh gently and make light of it “Alas, the night is not over but where would I run out here?” More seriously I say “What I meant was thank you for making this effort, for showing me how important this is to you.”
Tina: I frown a little and lean forward “Bette, why would you think this was not important to me. Bette, Laurel and you are THE most important things, people in my life.”
Bette: I sip my champagne that Greg silently and inconspicuously delievered to our table. I run my hand over the fluffy white mat. “It’s been a hard couple of years Tina. For so long, I hoped that we would reconcile and then when I realized that wouldn’t happen.and now here we are, together. I guess I don’t entirely trust it.” I am completely honest.
Tina: I listen to what Bette says. “I understand. I hope that will change.” I say it with real feeling. I watch Bette for a reaction.
Bette: Memories flood back, good and bad. I think of the day we went to the lawyers, at Tina’s insistence to get a divorce. “Why did you not divorce me Tee?”
