    Author Notes:

    Chapter 1

    Bette rubbed her weary eyes and sighed heavily. She peered at the bottom corner of the screen, which told her it was 11:25pm. Making the decision to call it a night, she shutdown her laptop. Within seconds the procedure was complete and the laptop ceased all action, leaving the study still and quiet.

     

    Bette turned out the light and headed to the bedroom. She could see the lamp casting light in the hall as she approached. Entering the room she was surprised to find that Tina wasn’t in bed sound asleep. Evidently she had never gone to bed as it was still made from the morning.

     

    In her lethargic state Bette contemplated leaving Tina to whatever she was doing and falling into bed but their dinner conversation lingered in the back of her mind.

     

    “There was a resignation in our team today” Tina offered before placing a fork full of rice into her mouth.

     

    “Really? Who?” Bette asked, genuinely intrigued.

     

    “Greg Coulton” Tina replied.

     

    Bette’s heart raced at the sound of his name but she quickly got her reaction in check.

     

    “Oh” She replied softly.

     

    “He’s taken a job in New York” Tina elaborated as she looked at her wife and tried to gauge her response.

     

    “That’s a big decision” Bette replied in an off-hand manner.

     

    Bette was intensely aware of her partner’s gaze as she chewed on a piece of chicken. They hadn’t talked about Greg Coulton in over three months. It was like an unspoken pact between them that he, like Candace, was never mentioned.

     

    Bette reached for her wine glass as she swallowed.

     

    “When does he leave?” She asked before taking a mouthful of shiraz. 

     

    “Two weeks” Tina replied quietly.

     

    A short and uncomfortable silence fell as all that remained unsaid lingered between them.

     

    Bette cleared her throat “There’s a new exhibition opening at MOCA on the 13th. I’ve been invited. Will you come with me?” She asked.

     

    “Yeah” Tina nodded as her eyes lowered to her plate “Of course”

     

    Taking one last look at the neatly made and oh so inviting bed Bette knew that there was something keeping her wife from sleep and it was most likely thoughts of the past.

    3. oh that kind of plan will be interesting..bring it on some love..great chapter i´m glad Bette was cool and understood and Tina does the right thing telling the truth

    5. hmm.. i might not commented on each chapter of yours but i have read almost all your posts and i do enjoy reading it. so, yes, I’m with chase… you can tie up as many loose ends as you want… and i’ll keep reading.

    6. i see a reoccuring theme here. we will read anything you write, girl. you are just that damn good. tie up whatever you want. ill be here waiting for the next one. thanks

    8. HG,
      I am not sure that I can so eloquently state how delighted I am to see you posting again. And for the cream on top, a continuation (of fill-in) of “You Break It, You Replace It”. *dancing around the room*
      This was genius; Tina’s remorse and shame at what had transpired between Greg and her, followed by Bette acknowledgement and simple acceptance. The last images were ones to melt the strongest hearts and display how wondrous love can be. When you can admit your failings and concede to those you love then you are a better human being than most. To trust in your love to this level shows how much these characters have grown and are now able to move forward. Closure has been sought and received.
      A bounteous harvest for all your fans.
      Thank you so much for this fantastic and fabulous fan fiction.
      And do post soon because this site needs your input.
      Your Loyal Fan.

    14. This is definitely one of my favourite stories; ultimately it matters not what brings you to post again, I’m simply happy you’re here. The fans are clamouring for more! Your writing is a pleasure to read.

    19. Always so glad to see that you’ve stopped by to leave us a gift. Thrilled that you’re still writing and posting–hope all is well with you. If you get a chance and have the inclination, drop a note to let a big fan know what you’re up to.

    22. Do you macrame by chance? Because you did a mighty fine job of tying up those loose ends!

      I like how Candace is always referred to as ‘the carpenter’. As if saying her name would conjur up her presence.

      Tina forgave Bette and now it’s Bette’s turn to forgive Tina. They both just needed to forgive themselves and move forward in their love for each other.

    23. Thanks for coming back to this story.

      Get Greg gone! Yah!
      I love that Bette could put this in perspective. That ‘storming out the door’ strategy gets old.

      Thanks.

    24. Hack I am a bit behind on my reading. If I had known you had posted I would have tried to beat Chasemenow to the draw and commented first. I so love your talent. A mature, loving Bette…just what my heart longs for. Great story. Please give us more.

    25. I am so glad that those issues of the past will be addressed. Like the start. But I think that at some point that all too understanding, on Bette’s part will end.
