Now it was Tina’s turn to watch as Bette pulled out of the driveway and drove down the street. Thoughts of winding down the evening with a friend having well and truly gone awry, they both slept fitfully, playing the words of their conversation over repeatedly before morning demanded their attention.

Chapter 7
Tina was putting on a kettle for morning tea when she heard her cell phone ring. It took her a moment to realize she’d left it on the entry way table.
"Well good morning," she answered.
"I hope I didn’t get you up?" Bette said on the other end. "It took a while for you to answer."
"I’ve been awake for a while," Tina replied. "I forgot I set my phone down as soon as we came in the door last night."
"I’ve been up for a while too," Bette said. "I didn’t really sleep much."
"Too much on your mind?" Tina asked.
"You too?"
"Safe to say," Tina replied.
"Are we still on for Thursday?" Bette asked, unsure she wanted to hear the answer.
"Of course," Tina said. "I’ll tell Angie when she gets home from her sleepover."
"She didn’t think she’d be back until after lunch," Bette noted. "So you have some free time this morning…"
"Yes I do," Tina replied, hesitant at what Bette might suggest.
"We could visit over the phone," Bette said. "If that’s okay."
"Sure, I’d like that," Tina replied.
"I know I left quickly last night," Bette said in explanation.
Tina interrupted her before she could complete her thought.
"It was best that you left when you did, Bette," Tina said. "We brought up a lot of emotions."
"We both want to pursue more of a friendship," Bette said. "Not only for Angie, but for us."
"So, no regrets so far?" Tina asked.
"Hard for me not to wonder if our conversation was going to turn into something other than talking."
"Is that what kept you awake last night?" Tina asked.
"Absolutely," Bette replied. The tone of her voice was one Tina was intimately familiar with. Intimately.

Wonderful story. Thank you.
neither one knew if it was a promise of what their future held, or an apology for what it didn’t. – oooh, good one

Thanks for the update. Well done. The magic seems to be present but they might have to figure that one out and it may take a bit of time however small. Forgiveness is a big part of the journey if they take it. Thanks for this story.
Hooray, more
Well, I also want to now know what that hand squeeze meant and I truly hope it was for things to come and not for an apology. They probably want to take things slowly but we know what happens with the two of them going slowly. Wonderful update. Thanks Swimmie.

They’re being very cautious, and it’s understandable. It’s taken years to get to this point. We’ll just have to see when they finally throw caution to the wind. ;) Thanks for the post, jks!
