Vignettes: Chapter 12
Hi, Dakota. My names Bette. Its very nice to meet you. Bette stuck her hand out and Dakota shook it, feeling very mature at the adult like gesture. Tina knew that Bette was already on her way to win over Dakota.
The three of them wandered into the dining room for brunch. Tina and Dakota were in NYC for a long weekend. Tinas sister was there on business and Tina decided to leave Colorado for a few days to catch up with her sister and take Dakota on a trip to the big city. And, the Lion King was playing and Tina promised Dakota that someday she would take her to the show. It worked out perfectly… until Alice mentioned to Bette the week before that Tina would be in the city with her daughter. Bette immediately called Tina, asking that she make it possible that their paths cross over the weekend sometime. Tina agreed and ever since, her nerves were raw. Now, they sat across from each other at a table with Dakota sitting off to the side, as if she was a mediator.
So Dakota, how old are you now? Bette asked.
Three, almost four.
Wow, you seem a lot older than that. Did you know I knew you when you were a baby?
Dakota shook her head and remained quiet, hoping Bette would say more to her. Tina watched the simple interaction and softly smiled. During this conversation, Tina knew without a doubt that Bette would make a great mother. On that thought, she didnt allow herself to think about what could have been years ago.
I saw you mom after you were born and you were just this big. Bette put her hands together, showing Dakota the tiny size of an infant in her arms. You were the prettiest baby I had ever seen and you looked just like your mom.
Bette deliberately glanced at Tina whos cheeks colored slightly. She quickly looked away.
How do you know my mom?
We were close friends a long time ago, honey. Tina interjected, giving Bette a look so that she wouldnt reveal anything to her daughter that she hadnt explained yet. Bette gave a slight nod towards Tina, letting her know she understood.
