“I know it’s going to be a long process” Lydia had tears pooling in her eyes.  “Getting to know each other and everything but I’m hoping you and Bette could one day consider me as family.”

“Well we’re off to a great start so far” Tina said through her tears as Bette held her hand in agreement.  “Speaking of which” she smiled at her sister “you were telling us about how you ended up on our door step.”

“Right, let me start from when I decided to look for you.  After mom passed away I went on this investigative mode and wanted to find you.  Dad was limited as he only had Grace’s address, but I didn’t know he had cut off communication with you.  The irony in that is Grace had returned every single one of his letters.  Apparently she had cut him off as well.  I found Grace first which wasn’t very difficult.”  “She was” Lydia searched for a not so offensive term “different” she recalled the brief meeting.

“It’s okay you can be honest with me” Tina knew how her sister was or at least what she turned into “she was a B-I-T-C-H!”  This made Lydia laugh.

“I plead the fifth on that one” Lydia backed out.  “You” she pointed to Tina “were hard to find, it was like you fell off the face of the earth.”  She continued “Grace wanted nothing to do with us and asked that I never return to her home which didn’t come as a surprise to Dad.  So I respected her wishes and never went back.  After I graduated I landed a job at a local production company who also do distribution.  The company was small back then but we worked our butts off to get it to where it is today.  I believe you have a meeting with a certain distributor” she hinted to Tina.

“You’re with Ace Pro” Tina said wide eyed.

“Arizona Cinema Entertainment Production” Lydia proudly informed “I saw your name on the list of contacts and I thought ‘no way’ then I Googled you and your picture came up” she smiled.

“Let me guess the one with the purple dress” Bette queried.
