Chapter 18 – Saturday with the Family
Bette: That sounds good. I knew we didn’t have food for tonight or for tomorrow night. You know, I can prepare some of those meals next week. Please do not assume that it is totally on you to do all the cooking.
Tina: Oh honey, I won’t. I am in hopes that you will help me when I do cook. I enjoy working with you in the kitchen. Oh, and if you will get me your contact information for your insurance agent, I would appreciate it. And I want you to read my resignation letter to Showtime. I want to email it to Tom on Monday. Oh, and I have made the flight reservations for you and I for next Friday morning. We leave right at 11:00 and get there about 1:00. We can have a late lunch and then check in the hotel and talk about dinner.
Bette: I am excited about this trip. A night with you without a breakfast appointment! Priceless!
Tina: I am excited about it as well. I want to show off my new girlfriend to all my colleagues. You are going to be a big hit.
Bette: I hope not. I’m with Tina Kennard and she is the only one I have eyes for.
Tina: That won’t stop the women or the men from ogling you. You have a presence which just draws all the eyes to you. It’s amazing how magnetic you really are. And it makes me feel that the envy of the world when you are on my arm.
Bette: I’m getting older Tina. I’m afraid that some of that magnetism has faded. You will shine far more than I will, I promise you.
Tina: Okay, we’ll see.
Bette: Okay, here are the potatoes, shredded and ready to cook.
Tina: Let me get those on right away.
Bette: I will set the table.
Angie bounded down the stairs. The smell of bacon had awakened her, and she was ready to eat.
Bette: Good morning, Boo! How about setting the table and getting yourself something to drink? Breakfast will be ready in about 10 minutes. Leave the plates in here. We will serve from the stove.
Tina: Sorry, no fruit today. We are out and we need to go to the grocery store to replenish our supply.

Good insight about Tina and her parents. I do think the past relationship between Tina and her mother can be what Tina triggers to run away every time she feels unhappy in her relationship with Bette, run away rather than talk about what makes her unhappy.. She was controlling Tina when she and her husband divorced after he cheated on on her.
Good chapter, thank you.
Bibi….
You are sharp and see things that many do not. There is a reason for me putting in some of Tina’s backstory. And the one thing I would like to assure you is that there is no childhood molestation in my story. But there is more to Tina’s life as a child in the next few chapters. There will be a couple of incidents where Tina will make some false assumptions, but they will be quickly resolved. I just hope that in the end, you see this as a reasonable story, perhaps not one you would envision but one which is satisfying as to the whys Gen Q left us with.
Thanks for reading and for commenting.
Hi Martha,
I can see this chapter is the tip of the iceberg and that once we look deeper into Tina’s life at home with her parents and sibling, things will be uncovered that she has buried, for whatever reason.
I’m sure both Tina and Bette’s, history with their parents have resulted in them both having unforeseen events and happenings, that have caused them triggers and consequences in their adult life.
It will be interesting to see what comes of Tina’s take with Judith. If Tina will be able to pin point her ‘cut and run’, attitude to something that happened to her unconsciously in her past/childhood.
Great chapter, thanks!
There will be some of that in this story. I hope that you will see the connection between Tina’s backstory and the reason she left Bette and Angie. It is also the reason that Tina and Bette are able to progress so quickly back a possible reunion.
Thank you for your continued support and commenting.
