Vignettes: Chapter 69
“Don’t go trying to pry information out of her tonight.” Bette scolded.
“Me?! Who was the one harassing her when she broke up with Joel last month? Not me! That was you.”
Bette raised her hands in the air as if to say, “whatever” then she returned to work while Tina fixed dinner.
Dakota arrived a half hour later. When she walked in the door, she looked preoccupied and nervous. Her cheeks were pink and she avoided eye contact with her moms. Tina noticed right away but didn’t say anything. She knew if Dakota had something to say, she’d say it when she was ready. Helping set the table, Bette noticed Dakota continually looking out the window. Her eyes narrowed and Tina nudged her, reminding her not to push anything. Bette grunted but sat down and chatted with her daughter as if nothing was wrong.
“Everything ok then?” Bette asked as Dakota cleared the plates once dinner was done.
“Fine actually. Work’s good… busy.”
“Just wanted to make sure. You don’t usually stop by.”
Dakota shrugged and looked down. “Just thought you might like the company. And I thought I should pick up the box Julianne left for me.” Dakota’s cheeks flushed and she hurriedly took the last stack of plates into the kitchen. Bette flashed Tina an anxious look.
“I put the box over in the corner by the door, honey.” Tina said. “Here, let me get it for you.”
“No!” Dakota ran out of the kitchen and snatched the box from Tina’s hands.
“What have you got in there? A bomb or something?” Bette laughed.
Dakota blushed again. “Um… no… just didn’t want mom to have to get it. I got it.”
“Julianne seems nice. She said you showed her around over the weekend? How’d that go?” Tina casually asked.
“It was fine. She’s really nice.”
“It’d be nice if you could be friends. She could probably use some, being a new girl in the city. I know what that’s like… been there before.” Tina replied.
“Yeah… we’ll probably hang out again.”

Fareast,You have been missed.You always create real beauty of the simplest moments of life. A family cuddling on the couch, a hand squeeze for support, some playful banter between two lovers, mock shock and indignation at a cheeky comment.These events are things that occur in all our lives and added such resonance to your masterpiece.Thank you so much for taking me along for the ride.Your Loyal Fan.
just beautiful..i hope dakote find happiness…cant wait for more..thanks :o)..oh whats in the box???
With a few well placed words you create such depth and history with these characters that I feel as if I have been with for the entire journey. Dakota’s love for her parents is evident, but their proximity to her new found feelings for Julianne was even moreso. I could feel her expectation, anticipation and excitement. Very nicely penned.Lovely, lovely story.
