Bette: “The up and down thing?” she says looking at Tina with a confused look.

Tina: “You know Bette a see saw.”

Bette: “Oh, yeah. I knew that.” she says with a look of confusion still on her face.

Tina: “You will find out soon enough. We won’t be able to get her off of the thing.”

            The rest of the drive was made in comfortable silence with just the occasional laugh or giggle coming from the back seat.

Tina: Ok, we are here. Let’s go find a bench where we can put our things down.”

            Before Tina had the chance to turn around and point out the place she had found for them to sit Beth was dragging Bette to the playground. Tina decided to sit and let them play for a little while; she could not remember a time that Bette had been so care free running around and acting like a kid without a care in the world. This was definitely a new and beautiful side of Bette that Tina really enjoyed to see.

Beth: “Come on let’s go to the jungle gym.”

Bette: “Actually you kind of wore me out kiddo. Can I sit for a minute? Then I promise I will play on the jungle gym with you.”

Beth: “Ok, hurry up though. I am gonna go play in the sand box”

Bette: “Ok, I will be right back.”

            Bette walked over to Tina slightly out of breath and a little sweaty. Tina thought that Bette looked gorgeous, but she shook those thoughts out of her head almost as soon as they entered. Tina handed Bette bottled water and just watched her as she drank half the bottle in on drink.

Tina: “Are you tired yet?”

Bette: “I wish that I could bottle all of that energy and sell it, we would be millionaires.”

Tina: “I have thought that so many times.”

Bette: “You have done a wonderful job with her Tina she is so smart and beautiful.”

Tina: “Thank you so much Bette. You have no idea how much that means to me to hear you say that.”
