So keep doing what we’re doing?

Yeah the flirting and sex go hand-in-hand with talking. Always be honest with each other.

And loved up!…Tina smiles.

Yes!…Hell, your Daddy knew who buttered his bread even with him being gone months at a time. He would come home and…

She looked over at Tina who was afraid her mom was going to tell more than she could handle knowing about her Daddy. Well you know how they can be when they haven’t had any attention in a good long while…I don’t know if you can remember it but you kids went to bed early on those nights he came home. Hell those first few years he had me pregnant within the first hour. Tina sees her mom smile while she goes back to watching Joe.

What? Tina wants to know what that look was.

Lynn turns and looks at Tina again.There’s nothing like feeling wanted like that. I just knew I was the only one he was sleeping with. He would have me wore out before he left maybe so’s I would know who buttered my bread. She giggled and looks back at Joe.

Tina smiled then thought the same about Bette when she left for that last trip. Bette made sure to love her up good before she left. All this time Tina had it in her head that she was the one holding it all together but Bette had been doing the same as her. Tina mumbled…It takes two.

Lynn heard her. It does and I think you have chosen well my dear. She pats Tina on the leg.

God I love her so much mom.

And she loves you. Anyone with two eyes can see that.

The girls arrived the next morning after picking up the rental car that Bette had arranged for them.

Lynn and Grams watched from the kitchen as the girls hugged and squealed. Well mostly Alice did the squealing.

Oh my God! Guys you look totally different than you do back home. Bette you went and got yourself countrified didn’t ya?…Alice changed her accent and cracked everyone up.

Have your fun while you can because you will be like us in a matter of days.

You reckon?

Tina cracked up listening to Alice.
