“Huh?” Bette was puzzled.
“I never counted on Ro finding someone who could deal with who we would always be to one another.”
Bette nodded understanding. She understood Theresa the way Rosanna understood Tina.
“It was hard for me to deal with my father’s disapproval of Tina and I am not proud of the way I let him disrespect our relationship almost until his death.” Bette offered.
Theresa looked at her again surprised at how much of their story Rosanna had shared with Bette. Theresa accepted the branch Bette was offering. She was not judging her and sharing some of her own struggle, Theresa recognized. “The irony of it all is that when I finally stood up to him she was with you. A day late and a dollar short has got to be the worst feeling in the world.”
“I think I can top that though I wish I couldn’t.” Bette said hollowly, the memories of the crash in her mind.
Theresa looked at her sharply, the look that crossed the brunette’s face clearly reflecting her helpless horror at witnessing the accident that claimed the life of the woman they both loved.
‘I understand you were with her at the end.” Theresa said gently wanting to know about Rosanna’s last moments and yet not wanting to.
“She did not seem to be in pain and I did not know the extent of her injuries at the time. She held my hand and looked at me as I tried to tell her everything was going to be ok. I will always remember how she looked at me eyes full of joy, the last thing that she said to me was ‘Love’…she squeezed my hand and then she was gone.”
They sat in silence together both overcome with emotion.
“Thank you for listening to me.” Bette said quietly. “I never realized it before but you are the first person I told about her last moments. It seems fitting.”
Theresa nodded “I am honored and thankful that you did.” She responded sincerely.
They hugged one another spontaneously and drew strength from their love for the woman they had lost. When they drew apart they were suddenly shy with one another neither woman comfortable with exposing their innermost feelings to strangers.

OH come on, you can’t stop there. LOL..Thanks for the update. I love this story and I hope for more soon!
kelika, what a great chpater having Therese and Bette talk about Ro….and so glad that Therese told Bette it was not her fault. and hey what happened to Bette wanting to meet Tina and tell her something,,LOL,,,still waiting!! Anyway, loved this chapter can’t wait for more.
So good. More please, real fast. Thank you.
Kelika, You just keep getting better and better. That was just what Bette needed. Thank you I am so loving this story. PPS
What a lovely tribute. I really appreciate your refusal to diminish how important Rosanna was to Bette even as Bette and Tina move toward their inevitable reunion.
Great chapter as always and ditto what Rufus said. PPS!!
This is sweet. Love the honesty.
I’m glad she had someone to talk to about that. It has been a rough time for Bette, so for her to have someone to share that with, who knew Ro the way she did, is probably the best thing that could happen. PPS
AT first I was like “WHAT!!!” at when these two decided to talk to each other. But then realized that they were the perfect and only person for both of them to talk to about the love they shared with RO.
Wonderful conversation. Interesting to see how the four lives parallel and intersect one another.
Nice. pps
Great chapter, fits perfectly within the story. On to read more….
That was great!
