Tina, with baby in her arms, walked over to where Bette was leaning against the crib. She placed a gentle kiss on Bette’s lips. “I have a confession to make too.” Tina curled the loose strand of her behind Bette’s one ear. “I didn’t kiss Eric that night or any night after that and especially after you kissed me in your office.”
