What does he want? I just talked to him on Sunday? Should I pick up?, she asked herself as it vibrated in her hand.
Realizing that she had to face Melvin Porter sooner or later, Bette rolled her eyes answered the phone. Hello?
Sweetheart, its Dad., Melvin replied.
He called me Sweetheart. Something must be wrong., thought Bette.
Hi Daddy., said Bette, her mind racing, her voice soft and filled with wonder.
Bette, I have some news and it isnt good., said Melvin.
Okay. Im listening.
I got a call from your Aunt Karen this morning. Your grandfather had a stroke last night., said Melvin.
Oh, no. How is he?, asked Bette. Karen was her mothers sister and Bette knew by the mention of her name that Melvin was referring to Robert Jennings, her maternal grandfather.
Hes not well, Sweetheart. Hes not going to make it.,
What?, asked Bette, her voice growing several octaves louder, shock coating her one-word reply. The air rushed out of her and suddenly she felt as if she couldnt breathe. This couldnt be happening. Not now. Not now when everything was finally going okay. And not to Grandpa Bob. Bette believed that there were only a few people that really loved her, and Grandpa Bob was very high on that short list.
Theyre keeping him on life support until you can get here. Your grandmother wants you to have the chance to say goodbye.
What?, Bette repeated, the nimble fingertips of emotion touching her soul and stirring up her grief.
Ive already called the travel agent. Shes working on getting you a flight home and arranging for one to take your friend to San Francisco., said Melvin.
Okay., she whispered.
Im heading out to the hospital now. Ill have the travel agent call you with your flight information.
Bette nodded as if her father could see her. Okay.
Bette?, said Melvin.
Yes, Daddy?
I..I love you., said Melvin, his deep voice growing soft and comforting.
Bette was a little taken aback at her fathers last words and struggled to reply. II love you, too.
They ended their call and the caramel beauty allowed the phone to slip from her hands. She stared straight ahead, her dark brown eyes seeing nothing.

Tina is a gem. I have to agree with Jwet, it’s going to be interesting to see how Tina comforts Bette infront of her family. There’s the friendly hug that says “I’m sorry” and there’s the lover’s hug that says, “Come here, let me hold you and ease your pain”. Can’t wait!.
