Bette are you sure you want to do all this?  Dan says on the other end of the line.

Of course I do. Getting annoyed being second guessed

You’re not even married yet what if..

Dan don’t finish that sentence…I love her and if something happens to me before we marry I want her taken care of.

But you haven’t known her that long what if she’s only after..

DAN!.. stop it…she’s not, trust me I know her very well she loves me not my money. And when you meet her you will see for yourself how lovely a person she is. I adore her and want her to have all that is mine.

Bette I think maybe your talking with you Dick as your father would say…and as you fathers adviser and lawyer I would ask you to reconsider.

Dan I would ask you please  do not  quote  my father to me. I know full well what Daddy would say and I knew his thoughts on who I am, as I know you feel the same. But it is my life and I damn well will live it the way I see fit and if you feel you can no longer work with me then say so now and I will find someone who will collect that big fat check you receive every week.

Dan clears his throat.. I didn’t say I couldn’t work with you. I worked with Mervin all those years and we know how difficult her was to work with I damn well can work with you.. besides your prettier..

Bette chuckles.. I’m sorry Dan I just need to see who side you are on, mine or my dead fathers..

Yours, You have to know I have your best interest at heart. And the lawyer side of me can be a bit harsh I do apology, please forgive me for over stepping.

Yes Dan you know I love you and could find no one to replace our work and friendship. Now do you trust me?

Yes I trust you and you’re judgement. If you believe this Ms. Kennard is worthy of your love then I to think she is worthy of all that you have financially. I will honor your wishes and start on the paper work first thing Monday morning I will just need all her personal information in order to draw up the necessary papers.

Ok I’ll email you everything you need in the morning. And Dan thank you for trusting me in my Fathers finances.

Well I must say you have done a great job thus far, he would be proud. Well as much as Mervin could find pride in someone else.
