Tina had her lips pressed together as she listened…Yeah I was thinking it was time to let it go and give him a second chance to be my big brother again…she smiles now.

Really?

Yeah I was going to call him this week.

Yeah Bette mentioned that. I’m glad. Tina he has been really down. He misses you calling him for his help.

Well I have Bette now.  I don’t need him like that anymore. I just need him to be my brother.

And I think he is ready to do that…anything to get you to speak to him again.

I could call him right now. Tina reaches for her office phone while looking up Tom’s office number on her cellphone.

Hello Tom.

Sis?

Yeah it’s me.

Hi.

Hi, how you been?

Ok I guess.

You don’t know?

He laughs. Yeah I’m good thought about you a lot lately. I hear congratulations are in order.

Yeah thank you.

You know I would have liked to have heard it from you but I fully understand why.

Oh because you know you were a fake homophobic pompous ass. Tina looks over to Jack whose mouth dropped in shock. Tina just smiles and throws one of her winks at him and he relaxes seeing see had it all under control.

Tom was silent for a second then laughs…Yeah I guess you could word it that way…so colorful with your adjectives as always Sis…

Why thank you, I try…they both laugh.

I deserved that.

Oh so you agree you were a fake homophobic pompous ass?

Geez ok you can stop now you drove your point through…But by you calling me does it mean you have finally forgiven my pompous ass?

Tina laughs then stops with a serious tone…Yeah…Yeah I have. We both have and Tom I want you to be a part of my wedding.

Really? I’ll do anything even if it’s just to park cars.

Tina laughs yeah so you can crash them like you did Mrs. Davis’s Subaru that summer?

Hey! That was not entirely my fault. She didn’t tell me she had bad breaks.. Tina giggles knowing it was true but liked getting him riled.

You’re so mean bringing that crap up, don’t you ever forget anything?
