To the Moon and Back – chapter 32
PREVIOUSLY
Mrs. Kennard stared into Bette’s eyes. She saw that twinkle that could only mean love, because it was what she saw in her husband’s eyes every time he spoke to her or their children. Tears started to trickle down her cheeks and she went over to Bette and hugged her. Bette embraced her back, feeling the old woman fall apart in her arms.
The tea kettle was whistling loudly but neither of them moved. Tina heard it from the living room and went into the kitchen to make sure everything was okay. What she saw made her heart fill with joy. She turned off the stove and silently stared at the both of them. When they separated, Mrs. Kennard turned to her daughter and grabbed a hold of her hand.
“Christina, I just want you to know that I’m very happy you found Bette. Maybe it took me 8 years to realize it, but better late than never right?” She tried to let out a light laugh but instead more tears came out. “Oh just come here!” She pulled Tina in and they all held each other. It seemed like the concept of having a family was finally falling into place.
*************************************************************************
As 4:00 approached more family and friends poured through the doors, wanting to say their final goodbyes to the loving man they knew as Joseph Kennard. While Mrs. Kennard was greeting the guests, Bette and Tina were upstairs finishing getting changed.
“I don’t even know why I’m bothering putting on makeup. It’s only going to smudge when I cry,” Tina said as she slowly dragged the mascara brush along her eyelashes.
“You don’t need to wear makeup anyway. You’re naturally beautiful.”
Tina stopped to blow Bette a kiss then returned to the task at hand. When she was finished she took one last look in the mirror before getting up and grabbing Bette’s hand. “Time to go, oh no wait.”
“What?” Bette asked as she looked at Tina who was gently touching her cheek.
“You need to cover up that bruise a little bit better. It’s a little noticeable and I don’t want my family to think I beat you.”
Bette laughed. “You couldn’t take me down if you tried.”
Tina pushed Bette back onto the bed and with a childish grin she said, “I win! Now cover that up.”
