The Christmas Card – Chapter 1
The Christmas Card- Chapter 1
Tina glanced over to where her lawyer, Joyce Wischnia, was standing. The tall blonde was currently cataloging every valuable piece of art in her house. Bette’s house, Tina mentally corrected. It was both amazing and terrifying to think that a person could literally put a price tag on a seven year relationship. Joyce had said that everything had a value. But what of memories and feelings? Weren’t these considered priceless? Could a piece of paper determine what years of laughter and tears were worth? Tina had a hard time believing that. But her lawyer did. And Ms. Wischnia was well known in the court system as a famous lesbian civil rights lawyer. And according to her friends, Joyce usually got what she wanted and right now, she wanted to make Tina some money.
Her friends?
Tina found it odd that Alice had gone from begging her to take Bette back to handing her the business card that lead to these ‘divorce’ proceedings. Tina had a feeling that Bette had a hand in that somewhere. Not in suggesting the lawyer, but requesting that their friends not badger Tina into making a decision she wasn’t ready for.
Their friends?
She had spent a lot of time with the gang over the past few weeks. Their support had become invaluable and she wondered if they had seen Bette at all during that time. But Bette didn’t deserve their support. Bette was the one who had cheated on her. Bette was in the wrong. Tina had done nothing wrong.
Had she?
Tina shook her head a little to clear her mind of these, new, disturbing thoughts. Bette cheated and nothing could ever change that, so there was no point in dwelling in the past. She was here today, in this house, to take the steps necessary to secure a better future for herself.
A future without Bette.
Frustrated by her wayward thoughts, Tina quickly turned and left Joyce to her lists as she made her way toward the back of the house. Walking down the hallway she paused, her hand resting on the doorknob of what was once her bedroom. The ugliest memories and, subsequently, the last one of her time with Bette were spent here. This room that had seen so much love was now tarred by feelings of hurt and betrayal. For a moment Tina considered leaving it for Joyce. She would determine what held value with a cold, calculating unattached drive necessary to secure whatever she could for her client.
