    Author Notes:

    Tina and Bette deal with uncertainties as best they can. Post S6.

    “Aren’t you the one that always says there’s good in everyone?”

    “Not anymore I don’t,” Tina said, cupping her hand and letting the sand slip through her fingers. “Not anymore.”

    “That’s not true.” Bette placed a tentative hand on her back. “You’re still here. You must still see the good in people.”

    Tina looked up at Bette and returned her sad smile. “I never stopped seeing the good in you, Bette. I was just upset. Surely you understand why?”

    “I do.”

    Angelica came running up to them. “Mommy, look at the castle. I made the moat,” she said proudly, pointing at the area she’d dug around the makeshift structure.

    Tina dropped her mouth open in mock-awe. “Wow, sweetie. Very good! You are just the best… moat… maker,” Tina said with as much conviction as she could muster.

    “It’s getting late,” Bette said. “Give those girls back their shovel and say goodbye, Angie. We need to go.”

    “But I want to stay! Please, Mama?”

    Bette relented. “Just for a little bit, but we have to go after that, okay?”

    “Okay!” Angelica scampered off again.

    Tina stared after their daughter for a moment, then turned and looked out over the ocean. Usually she felt a sense of the eternal when she came to the beach — the vast and unchanging nature of the water stretched out in front of her usually gave her a sense of peace, the sound of the waves serving as a reminder that whatever inner turmoil she was facing was temporary. There were many times over the years where she’d clung to the ancient proverb, “This too shall pass.” The words had always seem comforting, but now they rang somewhat hollow.

    Tina exhaled in long breath, and spoke slowly, keeping her eyes on the rolling waves. “I love you, Bette. But you hurt me.”

    “I know,” Bette said, so low that Tina could barely hear. “You know how sorry I am. But Tina, you have to believe me, I didn’t – ”

    “I know you didn’t,” Tina interrupted. She shifted slightly in the sand to face Bette. “I believe you. I do. I just wish that…” She trailed off, watching as Bette’s eyes filled.

    1. Why, why, why do I suspect that Alice has spilled her guts? The suspense in this story has me wound tighter than a drum. I’m waiting for the second shoe to fall. Bette could be wearing stripes and this could be the end of Weho as we know it. This is how a murder mystery is done, as the suspense heightens, as characters unravel, as the reader, in the solitude of her room, becomes self-conscious of her surroundings. Nothing and no one is safe.

    4. Great story. I think Tina shoudl be a little kinder to Bette but I also can see where she is coming from. Love this story and cant wait to see what happens next. THank you :)

    5. I’m glad you ended the chapter the way you did, because quite frankly I was getting a little ticked at Tina…her attitude was a just little sanctimonious. What is the saying…he who is without sin cast the first stone and I don’t think any of them were so free and clear for motive that they could do that. Omalley, the chapter was brilliantly written and this story is genious!

    7. It’s worthe the wait but wish you could post more often…Glad they are talking but I am with fortlw, I would also like to see Tina be more kind to Bette…PPS:)

    8. yeah, um, what everyone else said…very sad so soon after bette and tina’s reconciliation…i think, do they ever get respite, like a moment to be truly ‘happy and in the moment’?????

    9. waiting with baited breath for the rest of the story. Wonderfully written, as usual. I would like Tina to be a bit kinder to Bette and to show a it more concern for Shane. After all, hasn’t Tina been the care-taker usually (e.g., Melvin’s death) ?

    10. This is messy. I can’t imagine the impact it would have on the entire group… Their friendships are on the line to say the least.. I’m just glad Tina isn’t dumping Bette’s sorry (gorgeous) ass after this revelation… Hope you keep them alive and together ;)

    13. Fear, hurt, and fatigue are coloring Tina’s (and Bette’s) actions just now. Maybe things will look a bit better in the morning. Bette is likely going to blow a fuse when she finds out their house has been on television, though… I love the atmosphere of this story. You’re doing such a fantastic job with this. Thanks for the chapter. pps

    14. Bette needs to quit holding secrets haven’t she learned anything by now, no matter what distractions just come out with it now, the more she holds whatever it is she will never have Tina whole trust
