Ellen: A grave mistake. You may not get to reverse that outcome, but you will still live a good life.
Tina: You just don’t understand what I threw away. At least now I get that I was suffering from feelings of inadequacy. I still can’t believe that I cheated on her over the internet and then acted like I was following my heart in pursuing Josh. He showed interested, but I went after him; how could any man resist me right. Now I know I was an easy piece of tail for him as he was for me. One night as a laid under him I wondered? What am I doing? How have I let my life get to this point? I don’t want this. I haven’t been with him since that night. He’s called, but I’ve just ignored the calls. He gets that it is over and moved on to greener pastures.
Ellen: Let’s make an appointment for next week. I want to check with you after Bette’s show. I assume you will send the flowers and perhaps let her know about Angelica’s birthday?
Tina: Yea, I’m kind of at a deadline for both.
Tina goes to her favorite flower shop and orders a bouquet of yellow roses to sent to Bette at the Whitney. The card reads: “Congratulations, sorry we won’t be able to be there, but you are in our hearts and we are with you spirit. Love, T and Boo.”
Tina: Finally, something kind for your girl. Let’s do more of that and pray she doesn’t throw it back in your face.
The morning before the show at the Whitney.
Mandy: Bette, these came for you.
Bette: Oh, wow, set them on my table, they are gorgeous.
Mandy: Hmm, so an admirer already. I’ll let you read the card in private. Winks as she closes the door.
Bette reads the card and a sad smile forms a few tears fall down her face. She couldn’t believe it, finally something kind from Tina. It warmed her heart to know Tina was thinking of her and called the baby her Boo.
Bette: Guess I’ll need to thank her.
Bette pens an email. “Dear T, thank you so much for the flowers and kind words. This show is going well and getting those beautiful flowers from you and Boo makes my day much brighter. I hope you are well too. Thanks again and give Boo a kiss thanks from me. I know she’s a wonder child, but doubt she’s reading just yet. Love B” She ponders a moment and hits send.
Bette: Well it’s done and the world hasn’t blown up She laughs at herself and gets back to her busy day, but cannot resist taking a deep sniff of those flowers. It is going to be a great show now, they are here with me.

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!
