Spring, 2008 – Dr. Dan Foxworthy’s office, evening
"Alone. I felt alone."
"I understand that Bette wasn’t working at the time when Angelica was born."
Tina nodded. "At first, I thought it’d be great to have her around the house: we could bond with the baby, share the responsibilities. Since we kept our distance after the miscarriage, I thought it’d give us time to heal our relationship. Instead, it went back to how it used to be – that we had nothing and everything to say."
"I assume intimate relations were affected again," Dr. Foxworthy stated rhetorically. "Was it during this time your resurgence of feelings for men occurred?" Tina reacted immediately, becoming visibly nervous. He prodded her gently. "You gave up a lot to be with Bette. She said you never looked back."
Tina let out a short laugh. "I never looked back because I didn’t have a choice: my so-called friends abandoned me." She floundered a moment, trying to answer his question. "I don’t know if it was so much about missing straight sex. It was a lot of things: getting past the affair, the stress of having Angelica, financial problems … Bette and I never really had a chance to reconnect. I mean, we had this new life in our hands, but we had become … stagnant."
"And you retreated to where you felt the most comfortable."
"Yeah," she admitted quietly. "And I ended up feeling even more isolated."

Winter, 2006 – Basix Café, afternoon
"Tina! Oh, my God, is that you?!"
Tina was sitting outside the café when she looked up from her Blackberry to see Janet del Mar from her first job at Alphaville. She got up from the table and embraced her old friend. "Hey, how are you? Sit down and join me."
Janet pulled up a chair. "Just for a minute, I have to get back to work. Speaking of which, I haven’t heard from you since you left Muse – I loved Spun, by the way!"
Tina was pleasantly surprised. "Oh, did you really? Post was a nightmare … there were like five thousand edits, a world’s record!" Janet laughed sympathetically. "I’m with Shaolin Pictures now. Aren’t you with Showtime?"

Wow. Very powerful and insightful. I look forward to future chapters.
wanting your old life back,why go backward when the future could be so beautiful, they really need to talk, and figure out their future.
I thoroughly enjoyed this chapter, and am happy to see you back in the saddle and finding a little bit of time to post. Post when you can, we’ll be here.
This is sad but so true in many relationships. I do hope that this has a happy ending.
Yeah you’re back! Great update, can’t wait to read more.
Wonderful – I’m a therapist – wondering if you are
I do not know how I missed this wonderful story… simply amazing! I anxiously await the next chapter…now I will go back and read your previous work…Thanks for sharing you talent!
yeah, its actually good to see where tina was at back then. i get it. bette was arrogant and wrapped in her ‘world’ not understanding ‘what’ tina had given up for her ONLY to be shat on when Bette had the affair. but i’m pleased they are past all that and found their love again; more wisdom can be expected this time around. pps
And you have a way with words. Your vocabulary, “preternaturally beautiful”, very descriptive!
What a perfect distillation of what they really felt, what really went on. I couldn’t begin to describe this myself, but I know it when I see it: the truth of their lives. Thanks!
