And it was good that Deidra was back, she knew Tamara had missed her elder daughter.

Smirk. "I DO know you do." Research had been done. Hands on research. "And we did. The boys loved their scooters. I mean, it was snowing pretty heavily outside, but Joely had me charm the hallway so they could scoot up and down. Maxy picked it up pretty quick. And Laura loved her teddy-bear. I don't think she's let go of it yet."

Sigh. "I know she does. It doesn't mean I have to like it." Her mum did. Her sister... less so. Natasha was still making it her life goal to get a rise out of her. And it worked. Olivia insisted it was jealousy but that was ridiculous. Natasha had a good job, a husband who loved her, and two beautiful sons; there was no reason to be jealous of Althea.

"Strange question, but have you ever thought about telling that other woman about things with Jonah?"

Tam pursed her lips at the mention of Lucian and the whole Christmas fiasco. It had been... terrible. The arguing there toward the end and Lucian's foul mouth. Jonah had been no better, really, but still. SIGHS. "He and I had a heart to heart awhile back and well... he doesn't think much of Jonah as you know. I think he blames ME when his father comes around. I just don't know," she said in a reserved tone. It was all crazy, ALL OF IT. She just wished she could wave her wand and make it all better....

Tam's lips UNpursed as Thea went on about the kids loving their gifts. "Well Dale and Deidra picked it all out, they are to thank for that. I think they were pretty excited about the gifts, really," she went on with a smile.

And yes. She HAD noticed Thea slipped her shoes off and pulled her feet up... it looked amazingly comfortable. Hehe. After awhile Tamara followed suit and did the same.

"Thea, I know it's maddening... I KNOW." She not only had to deal with Althea's mum, but her OWN as well. Double whammy. It was infuriating. "At least you can speak to me openly." That counted for something, right? Tam gave her cousin a genuine smile this time.

What the... Tamara's face fell and she shook her head vehemently. "Absolutely not! We are adults... we have an understanding. It... hurts me sometimes, but this works for us. Why try to fix something that is no longer broken."
