“Because whatever about first and last, I’m still foolish enough to believe in forever. The catch is the only person I can imagine it with is you.”
Bette stared at Tina, her mouth hung open but no words formed. Tina returned the intense look. It took everything she had not to look away. The temptation was to say something flippant and try to pretend that her previous comment held no real meaning. She decided not to do that. Irrespective of how this conversation played out she wanted to walk away from it knowing that for the first time in a long time she had been completely honest with Bette about how she was feeling. Hiding things and failing to discuss them was what had landed them in the predicament they now found themselves in, in the first place.
Bette looked into Tina’s eyes, willing her to say something that would break the tension. Instead, she was met with a steely resolve. It was a look she remembered well, it wasn’t often that she saw it but she knew that once it was present she was going to end up on the losing side in any battle of wills. Tina wanted a response and would wait it out until she got one. Bette closed her mouth and swallowed hard trying desperately to buy some time.
“After everything we’ve been through, you’re telling me you still imagine your forever with me?”
“Yes” came the abrupt reply as Tina continued to hold Bette’s gaze. She was going to have to do better than asking a question as a response.
“Tina, I’ve never loved anyone the way I love you, but I’ve also never hurt anyone or been hurt by anyone the way we hurt each other. I’m not sure that even thinking about revisiting that is a good idea for either of us.”
Tina’s face broke into a wide grin, and her eyes began to sparkle as her smile reached them also. This left Bette utterly confused. “What?” she queried.
“I’m just thinking about your use of tenses in your little speech.”
“Huh?”
“Bette you said we hurt each other – past tense, but that you love me present tense” Tina said a victorious smile remaining in place on her face.

Another excellent chapter, wonderingaloud! Incredibly well-written — you captured all the emotions so well. I am a Danish shipper (in case you didn’t know), but, I love how you are writing the Bette/Tina relationship. Thanks so much for the update!
oh goody!!!I love B and T… sweet, I hope they sort it out. ahhh love it
The last chapter with Alice and Tasha, then this chapter with Bette and Tina…you are truly at the top of your game with this story. Your writing is so powerful! Thanks!
This is so well-written. It is alwys a pleasure to read carefully thought out explanations of B&T’s hopes and fears.
Yes, Dana’s letters to Bette and Tina did what she intended they made two stubborn women think and then talk to one another. This chapter was wonderful!
