Window of Opportunity
Chapter 62
Bette
Tina bringing up a gallery for me was so unexpected yet amazing that long after she had fallen asleep, I lay here thinking and reliving the conversation that we had earlier. I know the thought had been popping into my head more and more but I never thought that there really was a possibility. I once again had forgotten that we weren’t the same Bette and Tina of the past. This Tina was so strong and intuitive that at times, I didn’t recognize her. I loved this new side of her but it was still something that I was getting used to.
She was right, we still had stuff to talk about. We had never discussed her salary but if she said it was enough to sustain us, I didn’t doubt it. My salary at CU was impressive, much more than at CAC when you factored in the hours worked. I was making a good salary at CAC but when I eventually looked at what I was making per hour, it was miniscule since I was salaried and working sometimes 70-80 hours a week. There were bonuses but those were taxed heavily and the price paid prior to receiving them was loss of time in my own life to do those things I wanted to do. Now, my salary at CU was impressive because I was getting paid to work 40 or fewer hours per week.
Since we hadn’t talked about finances Tina was not aware that there was quite a bit of money in savings too since Melvin had a very healthy bank account and he left all his assets to Kit and I. We sold two of the homes he had giving the proceeds from one house to David and putting the proceeds from the other house into an account for Angie and future children. The cash and investments that he had we split between us and both of us were sitting pretty well. Kit used some of hers for upgrades at The Planet but due to the success of it, she had already recouped that money. I put mine into an interest bearing account and forgot about it. Probably not the smartest thing to do but at the time, I was so overwhelmed with everything else that I didn’t have the time or the energy to worry about it.

Wow..I’m soo loving this fic! I love the Bee farm part…i use to run in a field and collect bumble bees in a mason jar with holes in the lid and keep them as pets…that was before i realized that they could have made me honey…damn things never did! Anyway…Love to see how everything’s coming together. I love the way Tina and Bette are communicating and i can’t wait to see Tina’s reaction to Bette’s plans for NY! great job1
The kids are gone as of Friday, but three days are left of the teachers. Usually Staff development and meeting up the ying yang are in store for us. This year seems a little different with less time in meetings and more time to work in our respected rooms. PE is totally different so some time will be spent helping others get ready for summer. This story gets better and better with each post. The family setting is what is needed in the show. I only hope that season 6 would bring in some of that Ohana (family) that we as fans crave. Hope that last few days is less stressful for you.
Just Amazing!!!!!!!!! I way you write is so beautiful!!!! Bring on NYC!!! PLEASE Thank you
Mrs. Gunderson rocks!…as does this chapter…but that’s as per usual! :) Btw, had some grits at work yesterday morning…heheh…thought of you…boy oh boy were they gooooood! I’m looking very forward to the surprise in NY :) Soon, eh??!!
Who didn’t have a crush on Idgie Threadgood? Made me smile.
I think it would have been hilarious to see Alice at the bee farm! and I can’t wait for NY and tosee what happens in the last couple days of their visit what is going to happen….and will the truth be revealed from Kit? PPS:)
I see the grits are still hanging in there – ;o) Grits bad, “Fried Green Tomatoes” soooo good! Sleep routine yet with the little man? Thanks for the post!
fantastic update!! love the bee farm. the best was bette’s comment about grits! LOL geesh, they aren’t that bad if u dress them up right,lol… i just love this story more and more and will be sad when it ends… you give that family feeling.. cozyness :)PPS
Bette just flashed her smile and Tina immediately knew how they’d pass the time while they’re alone in the house. LOL! And I LMAO when Bette feared that Charles might shoot her after indulging in yet another mid-morning delight. Glad to know Kit will leave North Carolina with such *happy* memories too. :> Loved how you “reenacted” the Bee Charmer moment in “Fried Green Tomatoes”. I love Idgie. After seeing that movie and reading the novel, I even vowed that if I’ll ever have a daughter I’d name her Imogen, just like her and well, the photographer Imogen Cunningham. Anyway, I’ll be sad to see this lovely story end. *sigh* But all good things do come to an end. You’ve spoiled us with 62 well-crafted, vividly described and imagined, truly heartfelt, romantic and even funny chapters and I for one can’t ask for anything more. After saying her piece, a good writer always knows when to stop, when to find the nearest exit and I guess you already have an endgame in mind. I just wish you’ll give us a full account of their New York side trip because I’m curious if Bette can manage to top the romanticism of their Las Vegas date and of course, the wedding before you let the curtain fall. Thank you very much, NAG, for this lovely chapter, for this lovely story. Have a great summer with your little one! :>
I am speechless. Everytime you post, you take my breath away. You are such a gifted writer. Your words paint visual pictures in the readers imagination. Your students are very lucky to have you as their teacher. We are lucky to have you as an author on this site. Beautiful update NAG!
I just love your dialogue and descriptive writing, so detailed and layered. Just outstanding. Just keep’em rolling.
Great chapter, nag…. loved the stop at the bee farm and I can’t wait to see what Bette has in store for Tina in NYC. I don’t want this story to end, but please know I’ve enjoyed it immensely. Thanks for the post
