"No," Bette replied. "The reasons we had for keeping this from Angie are gone. Your being here tonight will be no different from any other night you stay over."
After a pause, Tina finally recognized the truth of what Bette was saying. They were only keeping it from her because they hadn’t been sure of where they were headed. Now they knew. They were both intent on making something work for their family.
"Of course, you’re right. I will stay."
"If you wake up in the night concerned that something happened to me, all you have to do is roll over and I’ll be there," Bette explained.
"That sounds like a good way to get past one of the most horrifying days I’ve ever endured," Tina said. "I’ll be there as soon as I can."
"And Tina…"
"I know," Tina said. "Don’t knock, just come in."
"Right," Bette smiled. "See you when you get here."
Tina was soon putting a few things in a bag for the first overnight stay she’d had with Bette in eight years.
**********
"Great car," Tina commented on the silver Mercedes in the driveway as she started up the stairs with her overnight bag slung over her shoulder.
"James outdid himself on negotiating with my insurance company for a temporary replacement," Bette reached for Tina’s bag. "Let me put that in the bedroom. I’ll meet you in the kitchen."
"Is Angie in bed already?" Tina asked.
"Yes, but she’s probably still reading if you want to say goodnight," Bette replied.
"Maybe I should just let her go to sleep without knowing I’m here…" Tina said.
"You don’t know what to say, do you?" Bette said. "About staying here tonight?"
"Better she knows I’m here," Tina concluded. "She did crawl in with you the other morning. What if she did that in the middle of the night and I was there too?"
"Let me put your bag away, and I’ll come with you," Bette said. "Go ahead, I’ll be right behind you."
Tina eased Angie’s door open and saw the bedside light was still on before entering entirely.

wow it’s f…beautiful i love it thank you!!!
Wonderful chapter. Thanks
Wonderfully sweet and loving chapter. Happy for them that they did not have to wait until Saturday. Hopefully Tina will just move her stuff in and continue to live together and get everything right between them brcause at sometime within the next few days she will relive the day of the wreck and tell Bette everything that she went through. So she can move on from that memory because she was emotionally at her ropes end and then to discover that Bette was okay took her from being ready to jump off a cliff to walking into her office and being able to see and touch her, then sleep with her. That runs the gamut from a living hell to pure heaven. Thanks for posting.
at least we weren’t left in the dark, hope they continue to talk.
I love, love, love the way you write these two. What a beautiful chapter. I also like that Angie doesn’t seem too shocked to see them together as much. PPS!!! :)
That really was a gentle reconnection – no rushing, no wasted second chance. Lovely chapter, thanks jks! :)

Hey ya Swimmie, finally back from the family vaca and getting all caught up on your story again… and what a story! You have just the right balance between “just enough” drama and “the mundane” in their relationship. The dialog is believable and engaging and their reunion beautifully written. Kudos!
