Tina: Well that run the other day was great, thanks Bette. It won’t take me long to change.
Tina appreciates the moments of personal time Bette has allowed her. She forgot what it was like to have a partner to help with the baby. By 6:30 they are in the kitchen, Bette is feeding Angelica and Tina is finishing their dinner: salmon steaks, rice and steamed asparagus. The moms sit and eat while Angelica enjoys her sippy cup and the toys on her stroller. After dinner Bette takes kitchen clean up duty while Tina gets Angelica ready for bed. The moms put the baby down together and bring the monitor with them to the living room.
Bette: You want a drink? Wine?
Tina: If you’re having wine, I’ll have a glass too.
Bette returns with two glasses of white wine.
Bette: I left the bottle in the fridge so we don’t get tempted, I heard you say a glass.
Tina: Thanks, well the run was great, but I don’t want to completely waste it going overboard with wine.
Bette: Yea, I’ve been neglecting my gym routine. Maybe I’ll take that spin class in the morning.
Tina: Do you use a gym in the neighborhood?
Bette: No, the Yale alumni have a club here. It has a gym, hotel rooms, restaurant and even social programs. It’s been a great way to meet people here. Several of the members attended the show on Friday.
Tina: You should definitely go, Angelica and I will be fine here.
Bette: It works out well, I don’t end up leaving much earlier, spin class is at 7:30 so I can leave here by 7 and still make it. You’ll be proud to know that after class I sit and have a real breakfast and then head to work. Tasha came to the gym with me on Friday.
Tina: I am glad to hear that and it shows that you are taking good care of yourself.
Bette: T, I wanted to talk to you about a couple of things tonight.
Tina: OK, I’m listening.
Bette: Well, first I think I have an idea for Angelica’s 1st birthday. Since she’ll be flying out for Thanksgiving I don’t want her flying back here, especially for such a short visit. So I’ll fly out to California.

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
