It was this fear that led Bette to avoid their phone calls and start pretending to busy when they invited her over. Eventually, Robert and Deborah stopped asking and Bettes neglect of her maternal grandparents continued. Melvin was so self-absorbed, he never stepped into the situation. Now here it was, three years later and Robert Jennings was practically a stranger to her.
Memories of riding around on her grandfathers shoulders and taking long walks with him flashed in her mind. Because she was the only grandchild, Robert and Deborah really indulged her. She was their little princess and they treated her like one. Shed spend weekends at their quaint two-story home, playing dolls with Deborah, accompanying Robert on his woodworking ventures. Grandpa Bob was the man that held her hand when she crossed the street, the man that brought her cool glasses of water when she had scary dreams in the night, the man that helped her catch fireflies in glass Mason jars, and sneak chocolate chip cookies when Grandma wasnt looking.
Hes dying and I havent even seen him in three years. All this time and I havent seen him. He didnt deserve that., she thought.
The tears continued to fall as she remembered the sad tenor in his voice as she declined his last invitation. Hed wanted her to stop by so they could go for ice cream and take a walk. Shed politely refused and spent the evening in her room, pretending she had other things to do. Politely choreographed avoidance: It was the only way she could think of to protect herself from her fears and the additional pain she might encounter if those fears were realized.
Even after the tears stopped falling and her shoulders stopped shaking, Bette still rested comfortably in the arms of her girlfriend, her head resting on Tinas chest. The grieving caramel colored woman held on tightly and listened to her lovers heartbeat, letting its gentle rhythm soothe her soul. Her heavy eyelids closed and soon, Bette drifted off to sleep.
And when the travel agent finally called with details for their tickets out of paradise and back into a grim and sobering reality, the young lovers packed their things, checked out of the hotel, and made their way to the airport. They held hands as they stood in line to check in. And even though Bettes serenity had once again been jarred by the unpredictable dark forces of life, she smiled weakly and squeezed her lovers hand. She may have been going home to bid farewell to Grandpa Bob, but one thing was certain: she wasnt going alone and the tenderness in Tinas soft brown eyes let her know shed never have to worry about being alone or abandoned again.

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!.
