She’s lost some weight but still looks beautiful and elegant and has both men and women interested in her, but she doesn’t give them what they want… that ego part of her has shrunken considerable. Bette’s still brilliant with her work and Allyn, our step-mom thinks that hiring her and James was the best decision she ever made for what their working together has done for the gallery… And… Surprisingly, Allyn is married to our mom, Maxine.”

“No, Kit, it was her heart and essence that attracted me to her, that and our strong soul connection. Wow, Allyn and your mom are together as a couple?” Tina asked being totally surprised.

“Yes, crazy, isn’t it? Believe me, it shocked both Bette and I to see that that was their truth.”

“Bette’s plate is rather full with that information.” Tina commented.

“Well, there’s a bit more… We also have another full sister and brother. They’re twins created when Melvin raped her before he threw her out of the house. He was such a bastard… I’d love to hate him but as Bette says, I have to forgive him to clear my own space.   She’s coming from her heart now with how she is in the world.

She and James love working together again and it’s so different as Bette respects him and his knowledge and they work together more as a team rather than boss/employee. They spend so much time laughing with one another. James has been given more responsibilities and will often fly out to meet with artists more so than Bette as she has Ozzie. James is also a good male role model for Ozzie and they love one another as well.

Ozzie is her responsibility which she takes very seriously as she picks him up from school and brings him back to the gallery while she finishes up with her work for the day. He keeps himself busy with school homework or doing his own art. Allyn thinks his is the perfect grandson, as he loves art as much as she, James and Bette do. They usually leave the gallery between five and five-thirty and go home.

Once there, they change and then cook dinner together. They’re getting pretty good at it. Since they both wanted to learn how, they took a couple of classes and then found lots of easy cookbooks to make meals from. I was quite impressed with the meals they made me. They make it fun and we laughed quite a bit as they cooked.
