The Set Up (27)
“Jesus … it really just does that, hey?”
Victoria smiled, straightening out her sister’s dress as she stood. “Yeah. Always been jealous of her freakishly gorgeous hair.” She’d cut a piece of Tina’s hair when they were both little kids, and Tina always wanted to laugh at the memory of Victoria in tears of terrible guilt, offering to glue it back.
Alice laughed. “Ah, you’re both a catch. And where is your boyfriend at the moment, Vicky? He’d better be nice and supportive is all I’ll say.”
Victoria laughed in return, enjoying her sister’s happiness. “Or what, Alice?” She wanted to hug her big sister, but she wanted to wait for that. She wouldn’t want to smother her, or to worry her in any way – she let Tina have her moment, thinking of the person they all knew was always in mind. In her heart.
“Bette,” Angelica blurted, peaking her head into the room. She was momentarily out of breath, but she was smiling to dissuade her mother’s would-be concerns. “She loves you.”
“Seriously?!” Alice teased, completely serious as the child cut across the room to her mother, looking up at her. Up to her, too.
“Mom. I think Bette needs you. She just wants to see your face. She said she would know everything was okay if she could just see your face. Please, Mom? Maybe she’s scared.”
Tina smiled back at Alice and Victoria in that way that only she could.
“Oh, no!” Alice laughed, “There’s no time! You’re not running down there!”
Victoria just laughed along, because she knew that a Kennard girl wasn’t one to be bossed around. Tina would find her way to something if she really wanted it.
“You’re crazy!” Alice laughed after Tina – the simple but thick dress bunched up in determined hands as the bride-to-be ran out into the hall. “Get back here! I need to finish your hair!”
“She can make it,” Angelica grinned, crossing her arms over the soft purple bridesmaid dress that seemed to fit her more perfectly than anyone else. She just beamed up at her aunt, and her mother’s helpful friend. “Bette needs her.”
People stood by as Tina ran down the hall – seemingly in slow motion – and watched the woman run past. A bride running from commitment? Had she gone crazy? People wondered, but no one said a thing as she hurried down to the elevator, and bursted out of it just the same, running down the softly-lit hallway to the special room. Bette’s room. Completely out of breath, she tapped her knuckles onto the door, hiding off behind the wall. She leaned back against it.

Absolutely perfect.

I think that I loved the entire story b/c of the lack of hyperbole. Their story seemed so authentic and realistic. Their foibles and quirks were not glossed over but the tenderness and lust of their love was captivating and genuine. One of your very best efforts that was very appealing. Please try to continue their journey w/Angie.
