Vignettes: Chapter 18
Bette… what are you expecting out of this?
Breakfast?
You know what I mean.
Tina, Im not expecting anything except to have a pleasant breakfast and catch up with an old… friend. Bette replied, flashing Tina a look, daring her to comment. Besides, Im on vacation this week, a much needed vacation. I dont want any stress.
Ive never known you to take a vacation unless dragged away from your work.
Sometimes people change. Bette quickly retorted.
And some things stay the same.
Whose to say? Bette shrugged.
I guess youre right. A lot can change over the years and I cant say whats the same anymore. Im sorry. Its not fair of me to judge or make quick assumptions anymore. I dont even know you anymore, Bette. Tina apologized and softened her voice.
Apparently youre still a rationale and fair woman. Bette said. I have an idea.
Whats that?
Lets start over. Can we put aside our anger and hurt just for this week? Were obviously going to be seeing each other and Id rather not have a stressful week.
Me too.
Ok… Hi, Im Bette. She stood and reached out a hand.
Im Tina. Nice to meet you. She took Bettes hand and shook it, feeling the touch of her ex-wife once again.
They ate their breakfast amidst laughter and relaxation. Both were at ease in the present company and they enjoyed no pressures or expectations of forced explanations or challenging conversations. People passing by assumed they were estranged lovers making amends on a weekend away. There was some truth in that, but Bette and Tina focused on the now, not the past for once in their lives.
As they left the cafe and walked back towards the houses, they were silent, watching people walking and biking all around them. The sun beat down on them and sweat started to threaten them.
Well, I had a good time. Bette said as she opened the gate to her house.
Me too.
They smiled and started their separate ways. Tina turned towards Bette and called out. I was thinking about going to the beach now. Want to join me?
