Bette: How is the RSVP list going for the VIP Opening?
Mandy: We will have a record turnout. I have never seen the RSVPs come back so quickly and at such a high rate. There are only about 10% of the invitations that have not responded. I can try to reach those by phone to gather if they plan to attend. I will tell you that about 50% of those being mailed back are including a donation so we may get more donations if we wait on the mail replies.
Bette: That’s great news Mandy. I would like to wait until the mail comes on tomorrow, call whoever has not replied by then. Also be sure to send out those email thank you reminder notes to those who have RSVPd and the use the donor version for those making additional donations.
Mandy: I can do that. Is there anything else you need today? We are slated to meet with the caterers again tomorrow at 10am and the carpenters are expecting us in the space at about 3:30pm to show us their progress. All of the pieces have arrived and we are scheduled to inspect those this afternoon as well.
Bette: Mandy, it has been a pleasure to work with you on this project. I have had a tendency to get wound really tight as a show approaches, just keep in mind that I value your contribution and respect your work, no matter how intense things get.
Mandy: Yes, Bette I understand, but you are a Philly girl talking to a NY girl, it’s all good. She winks and heads back to her desk, Bette is left chuckling at her desk.
Bette: Well that certainly was not James.
These six months had not been quite as kind to Tina. She worked out an agreement with Angus to stay on to watch Angelica. Josh’s film was finished and recently released so things at the studio weren’t too hectic. Her relationship with Josh quickly cooled and Tina didn’t pursue any other relationships, even though she’d had opportunity. She decided to start therapy. She knew she loved Bette but couldn’t reconcile her behavior toward her, the same behaviors that ultimately drove Bette away she hadn’t heard from Bette nor reached out to Bette in six months. She sent her a text shortly after Bette left, but it was undelivered. Bette had gotten a new cell number and Tina was not privy to that number. She had been able to follow some of Bette’s success via the web and the girls, but that was a far cry from being her partner and experiencing those things. Tina was really struggling with not being at Bette’s side for this show. She knew the girls were going, but that she wasn’t invited, and it broke her heart. Just as it broke her heart that Bette wasn’t by her side for the premier of Josh’s film. Instead she and Helena had arrived together, not quite as dates, but rather the power film executive team that brought this project to a successful unveiling. Tina was proud of her accomplishments, but missed sharing that success with Bette. Thankfully the girls still supported her and were there with her.

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!
