    Author Notes:

    The return.

    Previously

     

    Tina’s silence was powerful, to Bette and to her. They were standing amid a room full of people, and they stood out. Tina’s own anger had flared, and partly she reveled in the idea of making a scene, which seemed less mentally taxing than holding it all in. But she could tell Bette would not appreciate this tactic, would perhaps see it as self-indulgent, even cheap. So she held her tongue and let her face do the talking. It said how dare you. It said god I love you.

     

    But when words did come, Tina said, “Go sit down. I’ll be back.”

     

    Bette immediately turned and strode off, looking pretty fucking sexy in the process, and Tina almost smiled despite her checked anger. If Dean had been there, they would have laughed together in mutual acknowledgment of the most glaring of facts: She is so hot!

     

    But Dean wasn’t there, was rather one of the calls she must return, so she made her way towards the back door, into the muted sunlight, and looked down at the call she had to make first. Her heart felt heavy, and her nerves jangly. But she swallowed the panic, noting with sorrow the familiar taste, and waited anxiously for the voice on the other end.

     

    **********************************************************

     

     

    Time is a ticking feeling.

     

    Not that time is actually ticking in some objective way, apart from the idea of it. Time is not ticking. Time is Ticking. The wait. The expectation. For something to return, like a story.

     

    Bette was determined not to tick. She had the thought as she glanced at her watch. As she noted the time, and the wait, the something she waited for, the something she feared. Not that she feared one thing in particular. Something was fragmented by its vagueness, crystallized into millions of distinct surfaces, reflecting want, hope, loss. What is she doing? Bette wondered.

     

    Finally a shaft of light broke across the back hallway and within seconds Tina was walking towards her-ashen-faced, unsmiling, and seeming to gather herself as she approached.

                                                                                                      

    “What’s wrong?” Bette asked immediately.

     

    “Nothing’s wrong,” Tina said. She forced a smile.

     

    “Tina” Bette said, cautiously.

    9. This is just incredibly powerful writing. I am floored! I love the intensity that you have managed to perfectly sustain now for several pages without repeating a single though or gesture. So very little has happened but the tale is so rich that I wouldn’t mind if nothing much continues to happen as long as you continue to describe it.

    11. This is as brilliant as Season 3 is horrible. If you don’t win a FanFic award sometime soon, then there really is no justice in this world. But even with no justice, there is beauty — as witnessed by your story. Thank you, thank you. Welcome back.

    15. Glad to see you found time to post a new chapter! I have a feeling this story may be coming to a close which is really sad. Well now we know something else about Tina that makes her the way she is. Not only is she working a shit job, but she has to deal with losing her mother. Hopefully it’s still snowing and Bette has to stick around longer.

    16. This is such an interesting and lovely and deep story. I feel like we’re headed for a train wreck, but the ride is so exquisite, I don’t mind. Thank you for such nuanced characters and writing.

    18. SWEET JESUS!!! i thought youd never come back…lol but now you have and i can do that happy dance that they all talk about!!! that was excellent and ofcourse a little sad but very much missed thanks for posting …please post soon again…lovin it

    19. BEAUTIFUL…in my experience when u make love and crying is involved it bring you closer together…T needs B to be there right now and B is so gonna deliver…..UPDATE SOON!!!!!!!!

    26. Your story is so beautifully intense and wonderful that I sometimes wait to read it, because I know it’s going to be great. Glad to see your posts again. (nemo30)

    27. Hey luvrgirl, thnx for the update. I could hardly wait for it and was beginning to worry that you had given up. Your story is so gripping and touching, all this raw emotion and tension is breathtaking. Wow! I really enjoy your writing and am in awe how you can create such an intensity with the interaction of your characters. Please continue soon and dont keep us waiting too long. Tarzanne

    28. truly magnificent, there must have been a moment where this went from just a one night stand to something more but you write so effortlessly and convincingly that I am inclined to write that no such moment exists are even matters. This story wraps me in warmth like a familiar happening.

    30. I’m not sure if I’ve commented before, but your writing is gorgeous. Truly, you have a talent. If you’ll indulge me, I’m going to quote back to you some of my favourite lines. “And yes, she wanted Bette all over her, but not if that consummation (so devoutly to be wished) was also going to be the end of the wanting.” You have managed to convey unique characterizations, but not without an element of who we already know them to be. Lovely. “Bette couldn’t even give over to slutty behavior without calling in advance to assure herself it was somehow in good taste.” Prophetic of the phone call to Tina to check whether or not she cared that she slept with the senator, don’t you think? “façade fall back into place, her vulnerability shrouded by resolution.” The images you paint – make me sit back and marvel at your abilities. “before finally turning away herself, avoiding the mirror as she did so, not wanting to choke on her own fake smile, on her own genuine regret.” Your use of adjectives is precise. Your command of what you wish to communicate is enviable. I look forward to much more. At your convenience, of course.

    31. So glad to see your story posted. You are an amazing writer. You have a true talent, your description and characterization is so precise and intensely candor. They are vulnerable, tormented, struggling, needy, honest, and yet knowing that they were meant for one another. Your writing is quite masterful…thank you for sharing your talent and story. Please by all means continue at your leisure.
