    Author Notes:

    Let’s play Find the Freudian Slip.

    Tina stepped out of the café, and glanced around.

    Bette stood beside her. "What?"

    Tina pointed to their right. "There."

    They fell into step alongside each other.

    Bette glanced at Tina. "Why did you get engaged?"

    "Because he asked."

    "Oh."

    "Yeah."

    Bette noticed the troubled expression on Tina’s face. "What’s wrong?"

    "Everyone I’ve ever been with, you’re the only one who never asked."

    "We discussed marriage."

    "You never asked."

    "Because you were pretty clear that marriage was not a priority of yours." Bette reminded. "Too conventional, you said."

    Tina shrugged. "I still would’ve liked to be asked."

    "I don’t handle rejection very well."

    Tina glanced at her. "Even without a piece of paper, Bette, I felt married to you."

    Bette glanced at her, and saw the tinge of regret and sadness in the blonde’s eyes, possibly mirroring her own. "T, I–"

    "Remember the last time we saw each other? That time you came to New York for Angelica’s birthday?" Tina asked suddenly.

    Of course Bette remembered. It had been the first trip she would make to see her family — daughter — and she was a guest. At first she’d resented having to make the trip just to see her daughter, but in the end she and Tina had sat down, and had talked. Not entirely about their relationship, but for the first time in a very long time, they had talked: work, life… It had been then that both women had realized that they had a shot of making it work regarding Angelica. They would never be the close friends Bette and Alice had become, or Helena and Tina at the time. But they could be friends, and they would not have to dispose each other from their lives.

    That, of course, only applied when they bothered to be in the same side of the country or made the effort to get in touch with each other.

    "I never told you, but I realized if you were willing to make it work, if you were willing to make that kind of step, I should meet you halfway." Tina continued. She smiled weakly. "History’s a funny thing."

    4. It’s OK if you broke the chapter in two TD. Tina needed to take a breath anyway. She still squirms, she ducks, she weaves, but at least she hasn’t run away from the questions.

    11. Dear Tiff,You want comments, but you don’t respond to comments. Hmm. Double standard?? Something in the tone of this story does remind me of several of your other stories, Now and Then, Chandelier. I love the intelligent and provocative dialogue between B/T, but I often I feel heart sore after a chapter. And then I wonder if they’re really right for one another…so much pain, so much sorrow…it’s not good for the soul. Cheers.

    12. Tiff..you’re officially my favorite writer. Ur soo good. Suspensful, we want more Tiff. Feed the needy. I can’t get enough of your stories, so come back Tiff soon.

    13. yes, wonderful…bette is single, tina is single and she did make one slip (well, at least the one i noticed) when talking about sean she said “And as much as I really believed that I wasn’t holding out for that perfect someone, that person whose hand fits perfectly into mine and take my breath away just by the sight of her, I didn’t want to compromise”…she did said HER and for me it only meant BETTE

    14. This is the one and only time that I want to hug Helena because she broke up with Tina. Bette better not run away and from what I am taking from this conversation is that Tina is leaning towards Bette again. I hope in that long walk that these two can put the past away and start anew with Angelica and themselves. I guess I need to check out this movie that you are using as a reference. Please continue this long walk.

    15. “And as much as I really believed that I wasn’t holding out for that perfect someone, that person whose hand fits perfectly into mine and take my breath away just by the sight of her, I didn’t want to compromise.” Tina finished… She said her!! Yea!! This is the only Freudian Slip I’m happy and care about!! If there was a rating system you would get 10 stars! Love this story!

    17. I’m not afraid of reading a extremely long chapter. Please post the rest soon. I guess I’ll like the rest part better since it’ll state Tina is not with anyone now, ha.

    20. OK Bette, here is your chance…..drop down on one knee and ask Tina if she would do you the honor of becoming your wife, to love and to honor for the rest of your life!

    22. hmmm…this is getting very, very interesting! I liked how Bette called her on being in Canada. I kept thinking how odd it was that Tina just sorta ran into her…Well, you have it all exciting now!!!

    28. I love the way this parsed, breaking the second page right at “I mean”, and carrying us over in suspense to the final page. Bette’s free, Tina’s free at the same time. Why not? Love this mature dialogue and romance! Thanks!

    33. This chapter reminded me of my ex. It’s like walking down to the memory lane. Actually it’s kind of sad when you saw someone you once really loved but at last things just can’t work out. All you could do is just wish her well. I guess B/T might felt bitter and sweet when they brought back those memories. Well, just like the taste of life. Nice as always :)

    34. TD this was one hell of a chapter. I hope Bette now understands that this is her opportunity to ask Tina to marry her and have her once again as her wife and in her life forever, to have her family back. GO BETTE!!!!!!!. Please let it happen tiff. Thanks .

    36. How cruel of you to stop here!! Give us the rest asap! I wonder whether B and T really will get together after all the hurt they have inflicted on each other, could be very difficult. But they both seem to be longing for one another…
