Ok and thank you.

Bette was giving Carl a hug and he whispered something in her ear. And she nodded, Tina saw but Brie did not.

Hey carl Tina says giving him a hug as well.

Hey there little lady, How are things going? You get recuperated from your trip.

Yea but now I need recouping from work. Tina says with a laugh.

I’m sorry, overwhelming is it?

No, but Bette has been. Causing us to pass like two ships in the dark.. Speaking of which, when are you two going on your boat trip?

Oh we are actually leaving next week, I think Brie was going to tell you and Bette our itinerary tonight..

Oh great we brought over the wine we bought in Mexico it just arrived this week we can celebrate.

Oh wow it will go great with dinner.

While these two were talking Brie had taken Bette to the kitchen to check on dinner.

So how is work? You didn’t overdo it trying to get caught up did you.

No, work was fine, but daddy’s stuff took up too much time, making me get home late.

Uh oh…

Uh oh what?

You neglected Tina did you? Just like your father

Bette didn’t like being told she acted like him. Mom.. It couldn’t be helped! I have apologized to her for the past few weeks and I’m making it up to her. We went to the beach today for a run. And you know …make up time. she says smiling.

Yea your daddy tried that on me to only to do it again the following week. I worry about you Bette sometimes you get so involved you forget everyone else.

By that you mean, you? I haven’t forgotten you mom.. Bette says giving her a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. I love you and I may need your help with some of Daddy’s foundation work. I was thinking of having them all combined into one so they can be better managed and the funds distributed equally and have only one director. That’s where I need your help.

How’s that? Well you have worked on Daddy’s foundations with Dave, Jim, Mike and Manuel. I would only be keeping one.

Oh I see and you want me to pick?
