“Do you see any similarities between your father and anyone else?”
“Me,” she whispered. “I see me.”

Bette finished her grande mocha latte that she had carried out in a takeaway cup. She was leaning against the hood of her Saab, wearing drawstring navy blue cropped pants that were low-rising and slightly flared at the ankle and a light blue capsleeve t-shirt. Glancing at her watch, she stared at the façade of the building. It was quitting time for many people in the area and Bette observed friends talking as they walked to their cars, singles running for the bus, and businessmen and women still connected to their mobile phones. She searched for that last swallow of coffee, practically turning the cup on end, as she emptied it. The convertible top was down and she tossed the depleted cup into the back seat, just as Oscar and Tina walked out of the building. Both were dressed in paint splattered Levis and t-shirts. Bette looked up at them and smiled. Oscar wore an expression of concern while Tina’s was one of surprise.
“Hi, Tina.”
“Bette, what are you doing here?”
“I was driving by and wondered if you were still doing yoga. I was on my way over there and remembered that you go on Mondays, too.”
“Yeah.” Tina was skeptical.
“I was just going to give Tina a ride home,” Oscar stated protectively.
“I can do that,” Bette answered with just as much force. “Tee, I brought some exercise clothes for you, too, in case you needed them.”
Tina’s eyes shifted back and forth between Oscar and Bette. She didn’t want to appear indecisive, or easily manipulated but she wanted to spend time with her. After their phone conversation, Bette had been all that she’d been able to think about. “Oscar, why don’t you go ahead? Bette’s got me covered.”
Oscar nodded to both women and continued down the street, looking back once to confirm that he had made the right decision.
Bette opened the passenger’s side door for Tina and helped her in, taking her stack of papers and small briefcase from her hand and placing them in the back seat.
