    Author Notes:

    Let’s play Find the Freudian Slip.

    "If you don’t have to live with it." Bette added.

    Tina nodded grimly.

    "It’s things we did, right?" Bette asked faintly. "So what was he like?"

    "Who?"

    "The one you were engaged to." Bette said gently.

    "Sean? Why?"

    "I want to know if he was better than The Dickhead."

    "Henry was not a dickhead."

    "Could’ve fooled me."

    "Okay, I admit, he was never going to win an honorary badge from GLAAD, or anything. But he was a good man, a good father."

    Bette frowned. "Did you love him?"

    "Who?"

    "The dickhead."

    "No."

    "But enough to ruin our relationship for him."

    "He was a temporary solution to a permanent problem," Tina said, repeating a phrase Helena liked to use. "I thought he was good enough to start over with."

    "But not good enough for you."

    Tina glanced at her.

    Bette met her gaze. "Nobody’s good enough for you."

    "Bette, don’t."

    "What?"

    "Don’t try to make me feel better and make it seem like my relationships fail because they’re not good enough." Tina said softly.

    Bette sighed, then smiled encouragingly at the blonde. "Tell me. What was your ex-fiancé like?"

    "He was…" Tina smiled sheepishly. "Younger. Yeah, so say hello to my controlling nature. Two years, so not much with the cradle robbing on my part. He was a book editor and publisher, very smart, very liberal."

    "That’s good."

    "Yeah, turns out his mom divorced his dad to explore the, quote, alternative lifestyle," Tina smiled wryly. "He was good with Angelica, you know, really sold her to his side. He and Helena fought like crazy."

    "They didn’t get along?"

    "Nah, they got along. Helena just enjoyed pissing him off because his hair would take on a life of its own." Tina led Bette into the entrance of the park. "He was cute."

    "Did you love him?"

    Tina glanced at her. "I always told myself I wouldn’t marry him until you’ve met him, you know, see for yourself that he could be a good parent to Angelica. Except, I wasn’t really up for putting you and him in the same room."

    4. It’s OK if you broke the chapter in two TD. Tina needed to take a breath anyway. She still squirms, she ducks, she weaves, but at least she hasn’t run away from the questions.

    11. Dear Tiff,You want comments, but you don’t respond to comments. Hmm. Double standard?? Something in the tone of this story does remind me of several of your other stories, Now and Then, Chandelier. I love the intelligent and provocative dialogue between B/T, but I often I feel heart sore after a chapter. And then I wonder if they’re really right for one another…so much pain, so much sorrow…it’s not good for the soul. Cheers.

    12. Tiff..you’re officially my favorite writer. Ur soo good. Suspensful, we want more Tiff. Feed the needy. I can’t get enough of your stories, so come back Tiff soon.

    13. yes, wonderful…bette is single, tina is single and she did make one slip (well, at least the one i noticed) when talking about sean she said “And as much as I really believed that I wasn’t holding out for that perfect someone, that person whose hand fits perfectly into mine and take my breath away just by the sight of her, I didn’t want to compromise”…she did said HER and for me it only meant BETTE

    14. This is the one and only time that I want to hug Helena because she broke up with Tina. Bette better not run away and from what I am taking from this conversation is that Tina is leaning towards Bette again. I hope in that long walk that these two can put the past away and start anew with Angelica and themselves. I guess I need to check out this movie that you are using as a reference. Please continue this long walk.

    15. “And as much as I really believed that I wasn’t holding out for that perfect someone, that person whose hand fits perfectly into mine and take my breath away just by the sight of her, I didn’t want to compromise.” Tina finished… She said her!! Yea!! This is the only Freudian Slip I’m happy and care about!! If there was a rating system you would get 10 stars! Love this story!

    17. I’m not afraid of reading a extremely long chapter. Please post the rest soon. I guess I’ll like the rest part better since it’ll state Tina is not with anyone now, ha.

    20. OK Bette, here is your chance…..drop down on one knee and ask Tina if she would do you the honor of becoming your wife, to love and to honor for the rest of your life!

    22. hmmm…this is getting very, very interesting! I liked how Bette called her on being in Canada. I kept thinking how odd it was that Tina just sorta ran into her…Well, you have it all exciting now!!!

    28. I love the way this parsed, breaking the second page right at “I mean”, and carrying us over in suspense to the final page. Bette’s free, Tina’s free at the same time. Why not? Love this mature dialogue and romance! Thanks!

    33. This chapter reminded me of my ex. It’s like walking down to the memory lane. Actually it’s kind of sad when you saw someone you once really loved but at last things just can’t work out. All you could do is just wish her well. I guess B/T might felt bitter and sweet when they brought back those memories. Well, just like the taste of life. Nice as always :)

    34. TD this was one hell of a chapter. I hope Bette now understands that this is her opportunity to ask Tina to marry her and have her once again as her wife and in her life forever, to have her family back. GO BETTE!!!!!!!. Please let it happen tiff. Thanks .

    36. How cruel of you to stop here!! Give us the rest asap! I wonder whether B and T really will get together after all the hurt they have inflicted on each other, could be very difficult. But they both seem to be longing for one another…
