Wait? Bette stop but doesn’t turn.

We need to get back you father will be worried and be asking question. We’re holding them up. Bette starts walking again and Tina looks at herself in the mirror. Way to go Kennard you did it again. Then goes back to the table. Sorry daddy. she tells him

No worries I know how you women love your bathroom breaks. He can see something wasn’t right but left it alone. They ordered and Bette started talking with Jamie about her and Russell’s evening trying to keep her anger with Tina at bay.

Yea we haven’t danced like that in a few years. Jamie was telling Bette. Tina was fake smiling listening but was feel so sad inside for snapping at Bette like that, she didn’t deserve it and wish she had a few minutes to tell her so. Their food started to come out a few at a time.

Russell you haven’t said must, and you look tired did Jamie ware you out last night? Tina asked in a double meaning way.

Oh he’s good, aren’t you baby. Jamie says rubbing his thigh

He looks at her with a smile. yea I’m good and I wish could stay longer last night was really nice.

Well if you guys brought them youngen’s over more often maybe you could go out dancing more. Joe says

What? You would watch them so we could go out?

Why sure, dancing is at night they would be a sleep any ways Joes laughs…

Tina gives him a I told you so look. And wonders to herself how her brothers don’t seem to know how to talk with their parents. Tina moves her hand on top of Bette’s under the table. Bette opened her fingers to let Tina’s finger drop between hers and pulled them in let Tina know she was ok. Tina takes a deep breath and stated eating with her free hand.

As they all eat Bette ask so have you guys decide what you might want to do before leaving.

Yea, I want to see where you guys work, if I can. Joe says

Sure Joe it would be my pleasure. Anything else? Bette asked with a smile looking at the rest of them.
