Chapter 11
"I hope she hasn’t fallen asleep," Bette said, nodding in the general direction of Angie’s room. "She’s been so quiet."
"She’s just reading," Tina replied. "She was pretty animated over dinner, so this is just her way of winding down before you two head home for the night."
"Do you ever get nervous at the potential pre-adolescent angst that could be coming our way?" Bette asked.
"She’s only eight," Tina replied. "I think we’ve got some time yet. And we’ll deal with it, whatever happens."
"A more united front will help, no matter what we end up having to face…"
"We’ve always been able to communicate about how we raise her," Tina said. "And it’s become apparent in the last week that we’ve had the capacity to communicate about more, we just chose not to."
"We’re making progress in the right direction, I think," Bette suggested.
"I agree. The time was right."
"We’ve been removed from our hostilities long enough that I think we could have managed a friendship literally years ago," Bette said.
"It helps that neither one of us is encumbered by a relationship," Tina replied. "It’s been a while since we were single at the same time."
"At first you seemed…almost annoyed that I wasn’t with Olivia," Bette said.
"I’m sorry it came across that way," Tina replied. "I was shocked not to know already."
"How come?"
"There was a period of time that I still knew everything that was going on with you, even though we were no longer together. I received constant updates from various people we have in common."
"Even Alice gave up on providing each of us details on what the other one was up to."
"And if even Alice gave up, the glimmer of possibility seemed extinguished once and for all," Tina said.
"You’ll excuse my saying, but I think there might be a spark left,"
"But we don’t know if it’s enough," Tina replied.
"It would seem you’re no longer muttering about Alice’s machinations in getting us together last weekend" Bette said. "You are okay with…where we seem to be headed?"

A whole page for (tbc) 😢 what a tease 😉 thanks JKS🐠
Sorry about the empty third page – I would fix it if I could, but even shortening the story doesn’t seem to work once it’s posted!
Wow… They are all over the board. For having worked past some emotional issues, they seem to be stuck in others. It’s like watching a push me – pull you. They take turns taking a risk only to have the other pull back. It’s almost painful. It will be interesting to see where this goes. I’d hate to be Angie… No wonder she goes to her room so often I would too. Thanks for the update.
Oh, how about a little therapy for both of them?
i am really liking this story. i’m on vacation lounging on the beach and instead of a book, i’m reading this.
the potential pre-adolescent angst that could be coming our way?” Bette asked.”She’s only eight,” Tina replied. “I think we’ve got some time yet. – LOL :)
Love your story and hopefully you are planing a happy Tibetter ending.PPS
Can’t wait for the date. PPS!!
@slntrdr: LOL … I agree with you! Hopefully JKS would do that next time! ;-)JKS, thanks for the update! I just wondering on the intention of Bette. She is so cautious yet bold in deciding the pace. What’s actually on her mind and heart?? And if this story is going to be a non Tibette story, would you please give some warning in advance?? :-) PPVS
Adore this story!! Thanks!
Well, there’s your problem: the answer to an empty third page is not to SHORTEN the story, but to LENGTHEN the story! ;-)
