    Author Notes:

    3am and nothing to lose.

    Chap 17 (recap)

    “I moved out” Tina agreed readily before adding, “But I never moved on.”

    Bette’s brow furrowed as she tried to draw a logical conclusion from what she was hearing.

    “When I left, I was running away from us, from our problems.” Tina admitted as she looked intently at her ex-wife, “In my fear, I ran away from the one person that was my security.”

    Bette held Tina’s gaze as she mulled over what was slowly being revealed. “Exactly what are you saying, Tina?”

    “So many things.” Tina replied with a self deprecating laugh. “I’m telling you that I fucked up. I’m telling you that I wish I never left. I’m telling you that I never wanted to hurt you and most importantly I’m telling you that, despite everything that has happened I’m still in love with you, Bette.”

    The words left Bette stunned and unable to look at the woman in front of her. She had never prepared herself for this. Bette’s heart raced at a pace which was only outdone by her mind as it struggled with the implications of Tina’s confession. She felt Tina’s eyes on her, she knew she had to offer some sort of response.

    "Are you sure?” Bette heard herself say the words as if from a distance, she felt detached from what was happening.

    “Yes” Tina replied as she blinked back tears, “I am”

    Bette nodded as her eyes flicked up to meet Tina’s for a brief second before she looked back down at her lap. She cleared her throat before saying “I, um…I need a little time.”

    “I understand.” Tina responded before nodding a little too vigorously, “I know it’s complicated but I don’t want to hide from you anymore.”

    “Have you ever wanted something so much but feared it at the same time?” Bette asked.

    “Yes” Tina replied, as she fought her impulse was to add the word ‘you’.

    “Then I think you can appreciate where I am right now.” Bette said candidly as she unsteadily rose to her feet. “I think I’m going to call it a night. I have a late start in the morning.” She said distractedly as she moved to close the blinds and check that the front door was locked. “How’s your schedule, can we continue this tomorrow?”

    2. Aw yeah, I can dig it, everyone picking up where they left off. Dating will work for them, I think. (I still feel bad for Abby, but… I hope she can find some way or someone to help her get over Bette.) I’m tremendously glad to see you continuing this story, HG, so thanks for the post. Cheers

    9. From one who noticed the time between posts, know that you’ve been missed. I’m also enjoying your newer posts with the other pairing. I would love to be allowed to edit your work only because it would be the easiest job ever – having the benefit of an advanced read and not needing to recommend any changes.

    11. You’re have such a way of getting into their heads and portraying them as three dimensional characters. Beautifully written with wit and heart. Nice to have you back writing, no matter what pairing you’re writing, I’ll be reading.

    14. Happy New Year Hack Gal, Great to have you back posting this beautiful tale. I love that Bette and Tina are finally saying all the things that they had bottled up in the past. If they are to have a future togethre then honesty and communication have to be the foundations. Good start has been made. More great things to come I hope. Please make it soon. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.

    15. Don’t know if I ever mentioned this, but You Break It… remains one of my major inspirations from this site. That said, I’ve missed your writing, HG, and I hope it won’t take too long to see another post from you.

    19. Yeh!!! I hate when life and such gets in the way of a good author writing a great story…thanks for posting this again…waiting for more…always more.
