Listen. If you want to talk about guys, please do! I know about men and dating and sex. I want to know whats happening in your lives and I think it helps to talk, she grinned.
Also, Tina continued seriously, it would have helped me if I could have talked to you about Bette when we first started seeing one another.
Do you think we would have understood? asked Ana.
Attraction is attraction. Love is love. After you got over the shock, I think you would have definitely understood.
Tina, said Karin, one of her companions, who had been wanting to ask, youre really in love with her. Not just love. But in love.
Yes, answered Tina, softly, shyly but firmly, meeting Karins eyes and then the eyes of the others at the table. Im completely in love.
They looked at her with more of an acceptance and softness than they had before.
Bette and I are in a committed relationship, Tina explained.
Tina, said Ana thoughtfully, what exactly do you mean when you say committed?
Bette and I consider ourselves married. We have done everything possible in this state to protect our relationship legally. In the lesbian community, I call Bette my wife.
We went through a marriage ceremony where we made vows to each other and our friends. That trip to Hawaii was our honeymoon.
They all continued eating quietly as they thought about this. Wife. And wife. Most were not familiar with the use of this word in this way.
Is it really as good as with a man?
Martha! said the women disapprovingly, frowning at the question.
Well, Martha defended herself, if were going to continue girl talk, then this should be OK.
It is OK, Tina laughed. And, Martha, for me, its better than being with a man. Bette is a very exciting woman.
Wow, said Martha.
Well, Bette is drop-dead gorgeous, Jean said.
Jean!
Im just saying, Jean grinned.
They all chuckled at this exchange.
And remember, Tina grinned impishly, I can also provide you with all kinds of advice if you fall for a woman. I also know all about women and datingand sex.

Nice way for Tina to flip the final statement around! It’s good that some of Tina’s co-workers don’t feel like they have to walk on eggshells now. It always sucks when it feels like you can’t talk about something for fear someone may be uncomfortable.
Your writing is excellent. I really love this story. I hate S3 on TLW. I hope your health problems are resolved. That’s the most important thing. Take care of yourself.
The way it should be!
I adore this story. Thank you.
awww… Bette is so cute.I agree with you on the direction the writers are taking on the Season 3… tsk tsk.
I’m enjoying the story p what a nice chapter. I hope your health issues resolve soon and if you need anything let me know I have a boat load of docs in my family.
i enjoy so much reading your story, how B&T are so happy, the way it should be! i know that S3 is uninspire but you are an excellent writter and when you post always is a great post, take your time but continue post. I really hope you get better and all your health problems has disappear please take care.
Sweet!! Take care of yourself – I love your stories but if you need to rest then rest and we will re-read denial if we have to; ) Your way of writing romance and love is so so so wonderful -thanks so much
What if some woman shows interest in Tina? She may also need to get prepared for that. lol
Slipping in chapters when I’m not looking, Pancha? I’ll remember that. You know we all wish you the best with your health and we are all fans of your version of Bette and Tina. So when you’re up to it, we’ll be waiting. Nice to see that Tina found the biggest thing she had to fear was fear itself. Gee, that sounds kind of familiar.
My computer was playing up for a while, was unable to comment but was fanatically reading and loving every story. Thanks for another great chapter. Sorry to hear that you are feeling underpar, hope you get better soon, tyake care xx
It is because of these stories that you writers bring to us that have allowed us to keep the faith in these two characters. You have brought me joy when all I saw was sadness. Don’t give up on them like IC and the writers of the show did. We have much more class than they do, and more of a loving heart and soul.
I still love this story Pancha and will be sorry to see it end. Hope you continue to write when you can. Take care of yourself.
Lovely, as always.
Good chapter. Bette is romantic and happy for them!
Pancha, reading that you’ll be wrapping this story up soon was like finding out that there is no Easter Bunny! Dramatic much, Clarity? Seriously Pancha, no matter how much we try to take life slowly it moves at a feverish pace. So, thank you for taking time out of your life to provide us readers with your amazing stories. I hope all works out with your health (it just might improve now that the stress caused by S3 is ending) and whenever you return to writing I’ll be reading. Best wishes.
love this story. take good care there pancha!
Cant get enough of some stories..This is most definitly one of them…I love how romantic Bette is being….and Tina has done the right thing…it shows already…Thanks…
Pancha, I loved this latest chapter. After all of the fear and worrying about how her ‘friends’ would react and having to continually hide the best thing in your life, Tina is now relaxing and receiving the benefits of being ‘Outta that Damned Closet’. And guess what, it is a bright and friendly place. All of her true friends are dealing with this revelation as best they can but are still there caring and sharing their lives with Tina. It was heart warming to see the ice broken at lunch and things begin to return to how they were before. Bette has been a tower of strength throughout this whole time; by gently pushing and prodding Tina to face her dread at been discovered as a dyke in the workplace then rewarding and supporting her in the fallout. Now how can Tina repay this debt? I’m sure that you have a few thoughts. Please continue this fantastic fan fiction. Thank you for sharing your gift with me. Your Loyal Fan.
PANCHA… you are so not alone… i HATE season 3… i can’t write and believe me its also killing me… i love to write about our fav girls… i hope to soon… i love your story… and please continue when you can… but also take care of yourself first… trust me on this… i am still recovering from surgery… if you need to talk… e mail me

Dear P, you spoke of being ‘dismayed by the writing on the LWord that I have lost heart.’ But your writing gives the rest of us our hope back; you and your sad heart are helping all of us rise above the wreckage of S3. So thank you, and I hope you feel better (all over) soon!
