Tina sat and watched as Bette opened and poured the wine with a practiced ease. It really was the smallest of things that made her heart swell with love for the woman before her. To her, Bette was an intoxicating mix of strength and grace and this combination had become her drug of choice over the years they had been together.
“It smells delicious, T” Bette said, breaking the comfortable silence which had fallen between them as she filled Tina’s glass.
“You always say that” Tina rebuffed the compliment.
“That’s because it’s always true” Bette countered with a smile.
Tina looked skeptically at her wife “Whatever it is, I think you’d just better come out and tell me” She said flatly.
“There’s nothing to tell” Bette replied, her smile growing as she shook her head “Why do you always think I’m up to something when I compliment you?”
“Because you usually are” Tina replied candidly.
“Can’t I just be grateful to have you and your culinary skills in my life?”
“I guess” Tina replied as a small frown creased her forehead.
“I just want you to know that I appreciate you”
“You appreciate me?” Tina smiled now bemused with her wife’s behavior.
“I love you” Bette said “I don’t say it enough, and sometimes I don’t think you know how much” Bette admitted quietly.
Tina took a deep breath and nodded slightly. She understood now.
“Baby, I know you do. You did a pretty good job of showing me last night too” A small smile flitted across her face as her eyes met Bette’s.
“You’re my world, T. And if there’s anything that’s bothering you then I want to know that you’ll talk to me about it. That you’ll give me the chance to help you”
“Of course I will” Tina replied quietly, she suddenly felt like a guilty school girl “It was just your reaction last night when I told you Greg was leaving. You seemed to shut down or something. I feel like I can’t talk to you when you’re like that and Iget scared”
Bette sat back in her chair and mulled over Tina’s words.
“I’m working on it” She sighed “I’m trying not to react like that but it’s a habit and it’s a hard one to break. OK?”

This chapter…what Tina said last. The conversation so real. Thanks!
god – how do yo know what i needed from last season. you can make any repairs you want any time you want. i.love.your.writing. it fills me with such happiness that my feet start doing my dance. thanks again and do it again real soon.
Surely there’s a few more small repairs needed? Please? There should be more heartfelt, down-to-basics conversations like these.
Thank you for this story.
A perfectly unflawed chapter. Wonderfully done!
In every relationship you need to make repairs. Lord knows I have used a lot of Elmers glue and Some super glue. Tina makes Bette a better woman. thanks
very nice and as always, hope to be reading more in the near future.
HG,
Perfect written and realized.
You have wondrously captured a simple conversation and imbue it with life and honesty.
This portrays the depth of feeling and understanding that Bette and Tina now have. Being comfortable enough with someone to share you heart and mind so completely is something most of us strive for and never quite attain.
Thank you for giving us this gift
Your Loyal Fan.
PS – Please continue this delight.
Hackgirl – Thisis very nice. I see Tina is empowered at times. Bette needs a challenge. Post soon :p
AWESOME!!!!
that’s cute and feels real. loved your postings.
Nicely done. Perfect example of the push and pull that comes with honest communication without deliberate malice.
love.it! and pls do post more often!
Perfect for me too. Every relationship needs ongoing small repairs. I hope you continue to give us Bette and Tina’s.
I’m always happy to see you’ve been writing. This chapter shows that couplehood is about accepting your partner’s flaws, not beating your head against a wall to change them. As always, I look forward to more.
I have said it before and I will say it again – I find your (HackGirl’s) B&T very similar to tiff-duke’s B&T. Both of you give us such well-etched characters. I am so glad your story is starting up again as tiff gently laid hers to rest. Thank you Hackgirl.
Thank you so much for another tremendous chapter. Such a treat to see a post from you. Hope you’re still enjoying that breeze through your hair…
You are my favorite “Carpenter of Words” please keep the repairs coming.

Wonderful as always. I hope you write some more. Love it.
