“Sweetie, why are you crying?”
“I promised her…”
“Promised what?”
“That she’d be ok…”
“Oh Bette…”
“And I promised I’d never forget her…that she was a very special person…”
“Hey…she adored you…it meant everything to her that the Great Dr. Porter took an interest in her the way you did. She worshiped the ground you walked on. She’ll be so happy to see you again. You really think she’ll care that you didn’t quite recognize her? She’s injured. Bette…we see so many patients…”
“I promised. It’s sounds like they were just empty words…just to make her feel better. I say similar things to hundreds of patients, but she was so fragile and…”
“Bedside manner is part of your job, but I’m sure you meant every word because I know that otherwise you wouldn’t say it…and so does she.”
“I really thought she was going to be ok.”
“Bette, her mind and spirit are unwell. That’s why she injured herself. Look at you Bette…you’re distraught over her psychological condition and you weren’t the one responsible for that part of her treatment…I was. I’m the one, if anyone, who should be disappointed. You did everything right…maybe I didn’t.”
“Don’t be silly. You turned her around.”
“And so did you…you mended her and she would be fine now if she had not hurt herself intentionally. This is not your fault in the least. I was her psychiatrist…do you blame me?” (She looks at Bette as Bette stares at Jane Doe and shakes her head ‘no’.) “Then why on earth blame yourself for something beyond your control? What’s hurting so much Bette?”
(In the background, Madeleine and Bassey are watching. Bassey wants to approach but Madeleine grasps her arm…)
“No. Let it play out.”
“I’ve not seen her like this in a while.”
“Marti must have triggered something.”
“What?”
“Jane Doe…remember? She was previously treated by your team during a past episode when she came here with the name ‘Marti’.”
“Yes, so?”
“Bassey, don’t you remember? Bette was the primary on her case. She had surgery and…”
“Oh yes…we thought poor Marti had developed a crush on Porter.”

Yeah nice this story back and going again please continue, bette and tina need to talk i think if the pager didn’t go off bette would talked to tina???
Merlin…Excellent update. Please continue when you can. You were missed.
Excellent update! I am glad to see Bette and Tina connecting. I have a feeling Bette finally realized she really had been hiding her relationship from Tina. I really hope Bette will talk to someone about what is going on.
Well look who’s here. It’s about time young lady. I’d been wondering where you’d gone. Hope you’re good and you’ll bring us more of this story soon.
B&T need to rid themselves of all the other women and work on getting in touch with each other again. They both seem to be missing each other and not paying attention to it.
Glad to have you back, missed your story and writing.Maybe Bette will talk with Tina soon, they really need to have that talk. Happy New Year. Post when you can.
