Hey, their you guy’s are, we have already ate but saved you some.

Thanks Mom. We were just packing.

Thank you again for having me I’ve had a great time here.

Oh were glad you came. Now eat. They sit and eat while Tina tells them what time they need to be at the airport. Joe says he has the dogs bathed and ready to go.. they have had the run of the farm and were filthy.

Thank you I’m sure Sam have had the time of his life..Bette tells him. I havn’t seen his since we arrived.

Yea, their like kids they don’t want any thing to do with you when the having fun. Bette smiles….They finish then go to the living room and talk with Grandma. it’s getting closer to time to leave and Tina chickened out on tell her parents. her Mother hollers for her from the kitchen.

I’m coming Mom! I bet she made food for the trip home.

Gram’s laughs I bet your right.

Tina leaves.. You two behave.

Bette smiles, You Love my Dumplin?… Grandma asks

Sure she a good friend…Not wanting to look her in the eye.

Look at me, Bette’s heart starts pounding hard and her hands start sweating.

Bette has her head down and lifts it slightly, biting on the side of her jaw.

Grandma smiles.. Baby I didn’t get to be this old by being dumb. I have gained some smarts along the way. And one of them is knowing love when I see it.

Bette’s eye’s water up. trying to smile. Yes Grandma I’m in love with her, her lip starts to quiver. I love her with all my heart.

And she feels the same..Bette nodds yes…Grandma reaches for Bette’s hand,.. Bette gives it to her..Sugar I’m happy for the both of you, Why havn’t you two told anyone?

My Mom And Sister know. Tina was worried how Her Mom and Dad will take it. cause everyone does not take it as well as you are. My father didn’t, and so he never really got to know the real me. There’s a chance they won’t except us. and that would crush Tina. I don’t what her to be hurt because of our relationship.

Well some times the best way’s are just say it and let the cards fall where they may. They may or may not except. They are very stern in their raising of their children. But they do love them,very much.

They get the SUV loaded and have said their good byes with out telling Lynn and Joe. and are heading down the road quietly but the dogs were wired and would not settle down..This is going to be fun…Sit Sam! gee’s . It will take a week to get him retained not to be so wild,

Pretty much..Sadie! stop that. I think it’s worse cause they are together. their acting us!

Bette laughs.. most all the trouble we got in to was your fault, So I blame Sadie. She has corrupted Sam. like you have me!

Tina laughs, Me ?..You sassed Mom.

But I didn’t know I was. But the punishment was not that bad anyway’s.

Speak for yourself…holding up her finger…
