Bette has been in New York for about six months and loves it. She can’t believe she delayed coming to work at the Whitney for so long, the job is tailor made for her. She also found an apartment nearby so she walks to work. She decided on a two bedroom to make sure she’d have space for the girls or Kit to stay with her for a short stay. She’d furnished her bedroom, but the rest of the apartment was sparse. The settlement with Tina was progressing at a snails pace. Since her income from the Whitney was generous enough she didn’t really push her attorney to speed things up. She was tired of fighting with Tina and didn’t want to be dragged into another battle. She has not spoken to or heard from Tina since she left LA. Kit would give her updates on Angelica if Bette asked, but was not forcing the issue. Bette did have a meltdown when she learned she’d missed Angelica’s first steps. However, her therapist was indeed excellent and has helped her deal with the loss of Angelica and to some extent Tina in a very positive way. Bette has not been dating, but taken the opportunity to simply make friends, many outside of the art world. One of the first things she did was join the Yale Club. It is a private club with workout facilities private dining and social activities that she could simply join in on. This was indeed a time for Bette to redefine herself having been outside of a serious relationship of the first time in almost a decade she felt light and free and not ready to be pinned down to another relationship just yet. Two or three days a week her routine included a workout class at the club followed by a healthy breakfast. At times she even thought, boy Tina would be so pleased that I’m eating better, but then she’d catch herself. In the beginning those moments would make her sad, but now she can think of those small gestures from Tina and see them for what they were, genuine caring. Her first new exhibit unveiling was fast approaching and Bette wanted to make a fantastic first impression so was putting in extra time the past few weeks. The girls were coming: Kit, Alice, Shane,Tasha and even Carmen.

Great update!! So heartbreaking! Hope these two can find their way back to each other!
Woo, progress for B&T&Boo!
waoooooo what a post this was just… i dn’t know mixed feeling; hearbreaking for the pain Bette and Tina are feeling right now and happiness of seeing the support of gang, the love they still share with each other. oh this story is wicked. Can’t wait for the next post lol PPVS
You know, they both made exacltly the same mistake…Bette was emotionally distraught and in a downward spiral when she chose to have her affair with Candace. Tina too was in an emotional downward spiral when she chose Josh. They both chose sex as a release to their relationship that was wrought with problems instead of choosing each other to lean on and work through things. You are doing a fabulous job with this story Lwsho…choosing to present both their sides through a therapist was a great idea. I really hope that their will be a happy ending to this…because I am an unashamed Tibetter! Hoping for another update soon.
Amazing update. I am estatic that there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel. PPS.
Great Update!!!! Thank you Have a safe trip.
Thanks to soo many of you for reading this. I wanted to post it before leaving, and didn’t get a chance to edit it well. I’ve cleaned up a lot of typos. jp22: Ellen has Tina’s best interest at heart. She says some of the same things Helena said a few chapters back, but Tina did not get subtle, hence the stronger approach. Keep in mind Robin Wiliams’ character in Good Will Hunting. At times he was rough on Matt Damon’s character, at other times gentle. There were a lot of layers to get through; in the end progress was made. Let’s hope this works for Tina. Bette therarpist is softer, remember Bette came to her as essentially a grieving parent; completely different set of issues and approach needed.
Hey gang! I have intense auntie duty this week and can’t quite do that and get some writing done this week. I have parts done, but not enough to post. Hope to get something posted by early next week. Between my long drives to pick up and return my nephew, work and our days together the story is taking a back seat.
This was an AWESOME update. I’m glad Tina realized that she couldn’t have her cake and eat it too. I want Bette to spend a day with Angie on her birthday. I love this story and B&T. Have a safe road trip and come back soon.
That was truly heartbreaking. I hope that even though they have hurt each other so much, this is the beginning of baby steps towards one another.
I love the conversations with their respectives shrinks :)
I love the way you’re unraveling Bette and Tina – there’s much more here – more realistic and thoughtful than the glaring voids left by the actual show.
I know their respective therapists seem to be helping… but Tina’s therapist, I dunno. Calling her straight-talking is being kind, the woman seemed damned near unprofessional with her harshness. I’d have been out the door after the first session, let alone paying for six weeks of that kind of treatment! I guess Tina, on some level, thinks she deserves it, or needs it. As long as it helps them move forward… I did like that Tina sent the flowers and the note and they were well-received by Bette. A nice gesture, and it’s progress. Thanks for the update and have a safe trip. Cheers
That was deep and I loved it. I’m glad Tina came back to her senses. Be safe! :)
really enjoyed reading that, i too hope that this starts communication between them again and that at least boo can be back in bettes life, pps!
I love your story and it is so much better than the show……more in depth and it explains so much more. They have miles to go. The dueling therapy sessions are a great way to show character development.thanks
Great update and I hope this is a beginning of them getting back together. I know it’s going to be slow but it will happen right :) Thank you again for this story :)
I read this update several times, waiting ffor a new one! :) And I must say that I don’t understand why Bette is so nice towards Tina. She should be more hard. :) I hope she will be, because I love drama!! :) Anyways, it’s a great update and a great story, and I an’t wait for your next post!
Its sad to see they not together!
