Life As We Know It – #402 – The L Word S4
“She’s brilliant,” Tina’s mother, Amanda said, patting Tina’s hand. The almost two week long vacation was coming to a quick close. Tina regretted not having spent more time with her mother these past years. Then again, things had been strained between them since Tina’s left to go to California.
“I wish we could stay longer, but Henry has to be back at work on Monday,” said Tina. Mikey, Angelica and Henry were playing in the small back yard. Rolling a ball back and forth between them.
“Mind checking my oxygen tank? I want to make sure I’m not getting low,” said Amanda. Tina stood, checking the liquid oxygen tank that hung on the back of her mother’s red motorized wheelchair.
“You’re good.”
“Excellent,” smiled Amanda. “How is Bette doing?”
Tina had been waiting for this shoe to drop. “Good, she’s the dean at an art school…,”
“I mean, how is she dealing with you having gone back to men?” bluntly asked Amanda. That was her mother, cut to the chase, be blunt, take no prisoners outlook on the world.
“Mom!” Tina groaned. Thinking about the answer for a long moment. “She’s doing fine,” added Tina. It was true, in a way. Bette had retreated right back into her work, her steadfast partner over the years. Taking Angelica every other weekend, no fuss, no muss. Even going as far as being polite to Henry, who seethed every time Bette was in the room.
“How are you dealing with it?”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” asked Tina.
“It means, that after all this time, I’ve got one foot in the grave, and it’s time to start talking bluntly.”
“Oh, like you never spoke bluntly before?”
“Are you really happy with this man? I see the attraction, but…”
“But what?” countered Tina.
“But, it feels like you’ve left one life, to start another, without closing the door to the first life,” waxed Amanda.
“You know, I always hated that you psycho analyzed me,” offered Tina.
“I always hated that my girls didn’t listen to me. One ran away, the other just went away,” Amanda said in a dramatic tone.

This is getting very interesting. Why do I get the feeling that Bree is Tina’s sister.
I have to agree with coop, it’s getting REALLY interesting . . . wonder if Carmen’s gonna actually talk to Shane or is she gonna’ take Anna up on her advise . . . guess I’ll just have to wait and see . . . but don’t make me wait too long . . .

Okay, enough with the mystery Bree. She is Tina’s long lost little sister, that’s why she is so familiar to Bette. The way she talks and the way she walks as described in the chapter says she is just a little younger version of Tina. Please get old Henry out of the picture so our girls can get back together. Thank you.
Like your writing,and crazy about cat.He like hid in the showders anf wham he got you. Bree is Tina sister that was why she was so familary to Bette. Glad Shane is back and Shane seen Carmen. Henry is such a bore.Like Tina mother,tina did start a new life without closing the door to her old life. Tina will do things her way and her way might not be the bestand she will lose out in the end. thanks
