Previously…
Tina couldn’t believe that Bette had so many bank accounts. There was one that held almost twenty-two thousand dollars in it. Granted it began as a trust fund when Bette was born and she hadn’t made any withdrawals from it. But still…twenty-two thousand dollars? Next was their joint checking account with its balance of a little over eight thousand dollars. Then the separate checking account in Bette’s name that Tina already knew about. Bette utilized it exclusively to cash her paycheck into so she could accurately keep track of the bonuses she received from the CAC for signing certain artists and shows. But she made sure that Tina had easy access to the money by connecting the account to a debit card with Tina’s name on it. Two other accounts that were closed, both based in Pennsylvania, that Tina assumed were open while Bette was in college.
Tina’s eyes came to rest on the newest account, opened only four months back. It didn’t make sense. “I don’t understand,” Tina asked, more to herself since Joyce was quite engrossed in what looked like a stock portfolio. “Why would Bette open…” The words died on her lips as she read the name on the account.
Tina suddenly knew why Bette opened the account…as well as closed it.
The name on the account was “Kenter”.

Chapter 3
“Oh my God,” Tina whispered. Bette had opened a savings account in their baby’s name. The sentiment behind the action floored Tina. She knew that Bette had been happy when they found out Tina was pregnant. She would never forget the look on Bette’s face when she discovered the positive pregnancy test on the dining room table. The way her face transformed from frustration over work to ecstatic upon learning that they were going to have a baby, had been amazing to watch. But Bette had never been very hands on when it came to preparing for the baby, such as ordering the birthing tank and shopping for furniture. Tina had expected Bette to be home more. Instead she worked longer hours, sometimes even going in on the weekends. To learn now that Bette had made time to open a bank account for their baby was surprising, to say the least.

Wow, if Joyce came onto me like that, I’d shriek from horror… that or bitchslap her.Let’s see what happens when Tina opens the envelope!
what an emptional chapter..i would read the card first and then the letter and then the card again…just read it, don’t keep us waiting for long
i would read the card firs and inmediatly run to talk to Bette i can imagine how bad Bette feels tha she is punish herself! What a great chapter i like it so much
holy smokes! at this point, i’ll take either one! please post SOON!!!!
great chapter.I think tina should open the card first, then go to bettes house and then they should read the letter together so they can talk about what happened and what’s going to happen between them.
PICK… any one and get tina back into bette’s arms… joyce was an eye-opener to tina… great story… PPS
wow just ummm wow ok well for the benefit of making sense based on a time table i would say the card!!
I hope you get to post very soon..I love that you are writing for us again.
Love this story. Keep writing.
First of all Tina STAY AWAY FROM JOYCE!!!! YUCK! Then read the card first. And last, no what Bette did/had with Candace was NOT love! I really like this story so please post SOON!!!! :D
love your writing please finish this one and then go to the burden of control
I would read the card first. Tina can tell by the post mark on the letter and then the type of card (Christmas) which was written first. Read and then decide what to do next. I know that Tina is angry and she has every right to be, but maybe talking to Bette would help out some at this time. Maybe after reading the letter and card she will feel better about talking to Bette. Plus I would like to know where Tina’s ring is. Is Bette carrying it around with her like around her neck?
1st, run from Joyce and never look back. 2nd, open the card, 3rd the letter, 4th get your act together and find Bette. 5th, TALK to her, 6th, work it OUT! Great story…don’t keep us hanging too long. Thanks also for the update on Burden. I understand not being able to do both at the same time. :)
The card! Please post soon. I’m LOVING this story!
Read the card and the letter at the same time. Think of it as multi-tasking.
Doesn’t matter wich one, just let her open it please, thanks. Damn this is so good and can’t wait to see more, thanks!
All I can see is Bette leaving and never coming back. Only Tina can stop that. Open the letters and go get Bette,Stop this now. thanks
Please hurry and just open the envelopes. And post again soon, so looking forward to seeing what Bette has written on both, so I am hedging my bets that the both chapters will be posted together.
You are too mean! Just pick a letter and write (LOL).
Why must you leave us hanging like that. I don’t care which envelope is opened first just as long as we get another Chapter ASAP!! I love this story. Please post soon
Joyce is a snake in the grass…I am so glad Tina didn’t fall prey to her. I think Tina should read them in the order that they were written…the letter might say that Bette is already gone for good. Will Tina follow her that is the question. I love this story…thanks for posting.
