    Author Notes:

    Do you remember what you said?

    "I thought you were kidding — "

    "Do you remember what you said?" Tina demanded.

    "I think so." Bette’s expression, however, related that, no, she didn’t.

    "You said, and I quote, ‘can’t wait to see who that’ll be because I sure as hell won’t be lining up for that’." Tina reminded. "Do you remember?"

    "Yes, but," Bette wasn’t letting Tina have this fight, "Fucking Helena Peabody?"

    "And why do you think I went from Sean to Helena? Are you really standing there and thinking I dumped Sean because I was looking for Helena?" Tina snapped. "Because I’d hate to think you really don’t know me that well."

    "She was the first woman you went to!" Bette reminded.

    Tina looked at her with slight, and undisguised, contempt, and continued walking.

    "What?" Bette asked, confused.

    Tina spun around. "You told me we were done! What was I supposed to do, pine after someone who’s decided she doesn’t want to be the one to love me anymore? Do you really think you’re not the woman I really wanted to go back to?"

    "But you didn’t!"

    "I couldn’t risk you again, Bette!" Tina snapped. "And you were pretty definite about us being done, that I’ve had my chance and I blew it. Do you know how long I debated over it? I ran it over in my head, wondering if it was worth it to run back to you, knowing if I did you would resent me for it. Whether or not you took me back then, you would have resented me, and I couldn’t have that. I couldn’t have you hate me, not again. So I decided, if I couldn’t — can’t — have you, who else did I love almost as much as I loved you, and Helena was it. And now she’s dumped me, and, congratulations, I’m going to be the fucking spinster you’ve wanted me to be and Helena warned me I could end up as."

    "You think I want you to be alone?" Bette demanded.

    "I don’t know, maybe," Tina stopped walking abruptly. She glanced at both her sides, and turned left.

    "Where are you going?" Bette asked wearily.

    6. Just caught up with your story – really like their walk through their history and their feelings still their for one another. I’d so love to see JB and LH do this walk – thanks for writing such a lovely lovely melancholy but honest and revealing piece.

    8. what’s next? i can’t wait…it does reminds me of the movie when i couldn’t have enough of their talks, waiting to see where they’d go, whom they’ll see and what will they say next…post soon

    11. Aw, come on, you just love to do that to us. I with most of the gang, can you just picture this on the show. She hasn’t been dating anyone cos the only one she wants is Tina. This is too cute, their arguing but they keep hanging in there, as it should have been.

    12. I think I know why she is not dating anyone. That person is not Tina. This has been a hard ride but a good one. You get to see how Tina has tried to move on but always seems to find herself back to Bette. Bette never seemed to even try and hide the fact that Tina was the love of her life. Thank you for this story. My heart is not as heavy when you seem to be working on these women’s feelings for one another.

    13. I am very much enjoying this story, as I do all your work. The tension, angst, and even the hope of reconciliation is so palpable and your dialogue is stellar. I think it is really interesting to have them walking around; it adds another layer to their interaction in a literal and symbolic way. I was wondering if the art they were looking at represented different stages of their relationship. I also like how neither one bolted when their stroll started to get messy, not that they could, given the heals they are in. Now, about those cliffhangers…

    14. splendid as always! i was thinking maybe i should just wait till you finish a story and then read the whole thing without the cliffhangers….. noooo that’s a bad idea! i need my daily fix!

    23. I understand Bette’s wariness towards Tina – they’ve both inflicted a hearty amount of damage – check out ‘don’t bring me down’ by Sia – it’s delightful.

    27. Just caught up on the last few chapters. ‘Tis some good stuff you’ve got here. Now that things are all out in the open, tell her, Bette. Tell her why you’re not dating anyone?! Please post again soon.

    31. Tell me a reason other than she can’t let go of Tina and the memories. Oh, and being a woman herself, Tina should’ve known better that never take a woman’s words to only their face value. heehee

    32. Well, it’s really nice to know that Tina has not completely lost her mind and spent more time off with Helena than on. I really do see these two as friends, but how will Bette deal with that?

    34. If your’e not the best writer in Fan fic land, then i don’t know who is. The dialogue is so realistic, IC please hire this girl to be on the L staff. TD, soo convincing, and real. Bette and Tina in TD’s world, is the real deal. I adore your writing style girl, keep it up.

    37. TD, the ebb and flow between Bette and Tina is perfectly realized in this story. You have such a balanced conversation between Bette and Tina; these equally matched opponents will jab and pare all day long like champions. It is great to see them verbally wrestling with one another as the truth is sowly being peeled away and I hope will reveal their continuing love and desire for each. Maybe this will bw a long walk home. Thank you so much for you talent and sharing it wiht me. Your Loyal Fan.

    44. You’re not dating anyone, Bette? Life is short and death is guaranteed. There are other worthy women in the world. Better get on with it…
