Hilda: Why is that? How does that feel?
Bette: Well, I know one thing for sure. I haven’t been with anyone else, because I still want Tina. I haven’t been attracted to anyone else, but can easily see having Tina in my arms again. It hasn’t been hard to not touching her, but it doesn’t mean I haven’t wanted to.
Hilda: Why haven’t you? Do you think she doesn’t want you?
Bette: No, she’s asked to talk about our past, to explain and she’s offered an apology for how she treated me. She even slipped in how she loves both Angelica and I, it was in a different conversation, but I heard it loud and clear. I’ve been putting her off, partly because I wanted to have this session first.
Hilda: Are you looking for my permission?
Bette: As much as you’ve helped me, I’m a grown woman and don’t need your permission. However, I am cautious. It hurt so much to walk away from her, I’m not sure I would fare well if I had to do it again.
Hilda: Well I know you would be fine, I doubt you’d need to do that.
Bette: There is a clear trust issue though. We haven’t settled our finances, though I’ve set up new accounts here. Part of me thinks, what if she’s just here to survey my new situation, get me to act as a parent to Angelica just to come after my assets?
Hilda: Do you really believe she would do that?
Bette: Not really, but the fact that it even entered my mind is cause for concern. I received a bonus the other day based on the success of the show and other things in the last six months. I never told her about the money, even though she’d asked how my meeting went. When we were together, I never would have done that. I actually put it in my account for Angelica. It isn’t money that I need or was expecting, so it was easy to just put it away for her.
Hilda: She is a lucky little girl to have a mother like you.
Bette: Well, even though people think my father was a hard ass he gave me a good life. He had high expectations and boy was he set in his ways, but he never limited me and always found a way to support my passions. How many girls from Philly are allowed to go to Yale and study art because they love it? He never pushed me to become the Doctor or lawyer that would make lots of money someday. As it turns out I’ve found a way to make a good living in the art world.

Date night? Presumptuous much, T? Your writing is really great, but your Tina upsets me. After how long she made Bette beg after Candace, it seems like she’s expecting to have Bette just give her a chance so easily, when she was so much more hurtful towards her. I hope they make it, but only for Bette and Angie’s sakes, not for Tina, who doesn’t deserve such a great partner
I’m with jikes. It seems Tina is thinking Bette will cave and things can go back to the way she (Tina) wants it. Hope Bette hangs tough and helps Tina realize that the degree of pain she put Bette through can’t be undone by a smile and a “sorry”. Thanks for posting tonight – such an unexpected treat! PPS.
Will be interesting to see what happens from here…. thanks for writing it!
Well, I liked the fact that they are talking honestly and civily. There is nothing to be gained by two people who still love each other artificially holding up barriers. Each of them “earn” there way back to each other by being honest with themselves and honest with each other and create new rules between them to move forward. You are telling your story very well Lwsho…I am really enjoying it.
Great story. At least they are both open to the possibilty of working thing out. An as in real life it’s good to be careful to work through issues that have been allowed to destroy a realtionship. It’s good to see that being played out in this story. A day at a time.
at least they are talking. Tina really hurt Bette, especiay when she had Josh in their house that was meant. But their need each other. just love yur story. PPVS
love this.. and baby steps is good… i know they are going to make it.. pps
That was great and can’t wait to see more !
The road back is bumpy and eraught with potholes and turns; B needs T and vice versa.
Another great update – thank you :) Can’t wait to see what happens next. Thank you for this story :)
I hope the open communication continues and things stay positive. Please post very soon!
I’m glad they’re starting to talk about what happened. It feels like Tina is talking the brunt of their breakup. It takes problems with both partners for things to get as bad as they did and I don’t think we’re seeing Bette’s role. I guess the fact that Bette up and left without communicating her thoughts and intentions with Tina is an indication of how withdrawn she was from the relationship which I think Tina sensed. She is being portrayed as having only good intentions by making her move but I think she had some selfish/revenge type motivations as well. Maybe through their continued discussions and their therapy sessions some of these things will come to light and she’ll start taking some of the responsibility for the demise of their relationship. Then they can really move forward in healing.
Amazing Chapter!!! B&T talking is always good. I am a frim beleaver that it takes two to kill a marriage and two to fix it. I hope that B&T make in your story and Tina will move to N.Y., but she needs to give it time and alot off it. Thanks PPVS
