    White Lie 13

    “I’ll get things set out and we can eat,” Tina continued, oblivious to the effect she was having on Bette’s thought process.

    Tina set the bag on the kitchen table and proceeded to get dishware and cutlery out.

    Bette slipped off her suit jacket to reveal a spaghetti strap top with a delicate lace pattern on the décolletage. She then opened the bag to retrieve the tray of sandwiches and the container of soup.

    Tina turned and noticed immediately that Bette had removed her suit jacket.

    “I feel underdressed, even for soup,” Tina commented. “I love that camesol on you.”

    “I had to dress up for my oh-so-brief appearance at the Fund Raiser,” Bette smiled. “But with just us, I can be casual.”

    “You can be exactly who you are around me,” Tina said, setting the dishes on the table. “You know that.”

    “Yeah,” Bette said. “It’s easier to be myself than to wonder which façade I should display for someone.”

    “So I get you tonight?” Tina asked. “Not some image you’re hoping to sell me on?”

    “You’ve seen the worst in me,” Bette said in a melancholy tone.

    “But I’ve also been blessed to see the best in you too,” Tina said. “Everyone else gets some version of who you are. I’d rather see it all.”

    They finished setting the table together as Bette considered what Tina said. They sat down to their meals, but before they started to eat, Bette spoke.

    “Did you ever say grace when you were a kid?” Bette asked.

    “All the time,” Tina replied. “We always gave thanks before a meal.”

    “I want to take a minute and give thanks if you don’t mind,” Bette said.

    “We have a lot to be thankful for,” Tina agreed.

    Bette extended her hand with her palm up, a silent invitation for Tina to hold it.

    Bette looked at Tina as she continued.

    “I’m thankful that I have another chance with you,” Bette said quietly. “I’m thankful to have a person in my life that lets me be who I am. And I’m so thankful for the health and abundance that we enjoy as a family. Even if we’re not officially a family. Yet.”

    Tina smiled at Bette’s codicil.

    “I’m thankful that I have another chance with you,” Tina responded. “Because we’ve both made some big missteps over the last few years. I’m thankful for our continued good health. And I’m really thankful you brought something to eat, or I’d have had mashed carrots and pea puree for supper with Angie.”

    1. This totally lifted my spirits. Thanks for writing it. This might be my favorite chapter thus far.. just because it really showed growth. I’m absolutely loving this story. I’ll be looking forward to the next chapter whenever you can get it out.

    2. It shows that Bette does care,and wants her family back, She is really working hard to show Tina that she is trying. Like how Angie stop the cold. thanks

    3. there is nothing wrong with taking things.love how bette is thinking thesed ays putting others first, staying to take of angie so tina can sleep…very nice update :)

    4. I love that Bette stayed with Angie, not Tina. I like this version better than Bette, once again, being the big old cheater! I like the fact that they may actually talk about past problems, but I think this new Tina, who has a job and is more independent will at least put them both on the same playing field. Have a good week…it is always wonderful to see a post from you, Fins!!!

    5. Awesome writing JKS, you do have a gift. Loved the “family” interaction…the shared responsibility…they’re moving in the right direction. I.C. on the other hand is making us pay for our desire to have Bette and Tina reunite. That payment is Bette. I’m glad you’re not doing that.

    6. Great achapter swimmie. Good to see that they both realize that with very little from each other they can overshoot the runway, so to speak.They need to slow down and they both realizethat especially Bette. As long as they are careful and continue talking and sharing and being available for each other and willing to be available this reunion will work beautifully for them. you are writing them so well and I enjoy seeing them have common sense as well as being exited about this time for them. PPS

    7. I am going to sleep well knowing that little Angie was comforted by her mamma B and mamma T was able to get the rest she needed. I am really loving how they are coming together as a family and relying on each other to be there for the other.

    8. That wa the most beautiful Chapter to read. Bette and Tina there for their child and each other. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED IT. THANK YOU, FAMILY, OH SO GOOD.

    9. EHY JKS, Just lapping up this awsome adventure. Great to see the rountine of being a family and how it is affecting both gals. Often it is the simplest things that can mean the most. Things like bringing dinner; not waking your child when her other mom has just gotten her to sleep; and taking the time to listen to your partner make this whole tale so magnificent. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
