Previously…
The bartender made his way back and placed the club soda in front of Kit. He eyed the glass of beer sitting along side of her in confusion, seemingly unaware of the mounting tension between the two women. He picked up the beer and started to slide it back over to Bette when Kit reached out and stopped him.
"She’s had enough," Kit said by way of explanation.
"Fuck you," Bette shot back. She grabbed her jacket from the stool beside her and stormed out of the bar.
Kit sighed and reached into her purse, pulling out a twenty dollar bill. She handed it to the perplexed bartender. "Sorry about that. Hope that covers it." She then grabbed an item off the bar and made her way outside. She found Bette leaning against her car, digging through her pocketbook.
"Shit."
"Looking for these," Kit asked, holding up Bette’s forgotten car keys. "You left them inside."
Bette shook her head, knowing full well that Kit wouldn’t just hand them over without an explanation. “What do you want, Kit?”
“I want to know a lot of things, Bette.” Kit walked up to Bette’s car and unlocked the passenger side door and climbed in. She unlocked Bette’s door and patiently waited. Surrendering to the futility if the situation, Bette opened her door and prepared herself for what she knew was going to be a long talk.
In a very tight space.
Just how Kit liked it.
“Damn.”

Chapter 18
“So.”
“So.” Bette sighed. “Are we going to have it all out here in my car or are we actually going to go someplace?”
“It really doesn’t matter to me Baby girl,” Kit answered. “Your place…my place…I’ll even go back to the bar if it’ll get you to open up to me.”
“Open up to you about what, Kit?” Bette shook her head in frustration. “There’s nothing to say.”
“Bette, that’s bullshit,” Kit replied, reaching over and putting a hand on Bette’s shoulder. “There’s a whole hell of a lot going on. You were supposed to make your follow up appointment yet you haven’t. Then you went with Tina to the doctor and I haven’t heard from you since. “

Tibette…I don’t know what to say…thank you so much for bringing this back. I am so sorry about your great Aunt. I know it was comforting for you to spend time with her at the end, she knew she was loved take comfort in that. Your writing just blows me away. I can’t say I am sorry for stalking you cause I must have said something right. I can’t tell you how many times I have read and reread this story willing for a new post. You have definately made my day. Hope to continue reading more from you. Take care.
It seems like Bette has given up. I hope not, she needs to tell Tina. She needs that support. Yes Kit is there for her but she really needs her friends right now.
First I am sorry to hear about your loss. Second, I am glad to see you back with this story. I was thinking about you and the story the other day and hoped that everything was all right with you. You made my day on this dull Monday.

Tibette, so sorry to hear about your great aunt. Thank you so much for writing again. I really appreciate the time and effort that you put into this story. It means so much that you share your talents here, with us.
Thank you for the post. It has definitely being missed and longed for. So sorry to hear of your lose. Please continue to take it one day at a time. Healing will come.
I am sorry to hear about your loss. I do love this story and hope to see more of it. Maybe through your writings it will bring you some peace of mind. One of my favorite scenes with Bette and Tina is in the second season when they were together. When I read that part I smiled because it brought back that feeling of joy. Please continue with this story. It does bring joy in a time that we could all use some escapeism (not sure how to spell that word even if it exists).
Good chapter!
