    Vignettes: Chapter 26

    Bette took the note she had written to Tina out of the envelope and read it over more than once while Shane sat next to her in silence. Shane could see the tears being held back in Bettes eyes. Bette looked up and smiled weakly at Shane. She handed the note to Shane.

    Go ahead, read it. I know you want to. Bette said.

    Shane shrugged but didnt resist.

    ***

    Dear Tina,

    Ive sat down and started writing this note a hundred times, but I never get further than writing your name. Every time I see it, I am reminded that you are not here anymore. And I have actually completed this letter a hundred times in a hundred different ways in my mind. But it never makes it in print. I decided tonight is the night to let it all out because I leave for my new home across the country in the morning. Its now or never.

    I love you. I know you say you already know this but I dont think you believe this. I wish you did. I wish I never did anything to lose your trust and assurance in me. But I cant take the past back no matter how much I want to. And most of the time I want to, but sometimes, I think something needed to happen in our relationship. We were heading downhill for a long time. I just wish I hadnt messed up.

    But I messed up big time. And everything fell apart. It seemed impossible to fix and it still does, but I cant fix it alone. No matter how hard I try. It doesnt matter how badly I want it because you need to work with me or else nothing will ever fall back into place. And you cant work with me until you can trust me again. It seems its all a very vicious cycle. And Im spinning out of control without you.

    So now what? I have tried so many things in the last few months to pull you back to me but nothing works. I love you so much, Tina. My heart aches for you. I have to hold my hand over my chest because of the pain inside of me. The dull ache stings to my bones and my heart feels vacant like an empty parking lot in the middle of the night. Now, our bed is only half full. Its too big for one person and too lonely without your scent. Your blonde curls no longer slip through my fingers and your brown eyes never search my own any more. I would give anything to feel your breath on my neck while we sleep wrapped in each others arms. I miss your voice tickling my ear. Your off key singing in the shower still haunts my memories along with how your painted toes sparkled in the pool on a hot summer afternoon. We have quite the love story, Tina, right from the beginning. We swept each other off our feet. My wandering heart found your searching heart and melded into one. And now its broken in half. Each stage our love went through was beautiful from the excitement to the familiarity to the comfort and understanding of one another so deeply that I can see it in your eyes each emotion that pulses through your body at any given time. I dont know how to get back to that place.

    7. Another wonderous post.
      Oh please let Tina read the letter. And what a cruel way to end this chapter. You do love to taunt, tease and torment your readers. Luv it really just need your continuation to be real soon.
      Conflicting views as Bette seems to think everything is dead and buried whereas Tina seems to be admitting out loud her regrets. Please let these two gals find each other again.
