"I had very little to do with it," Bette replied. "The star witness decided to reconcile with my client and wouldn’t testify against her."
"And of course, he couldn’t be compelled to testify."
"Exactly," Bette confirmed. "Case dismissed."
"Your client might have saved some legal fees if they’d managed that reunion a little earlier than the first day of trial."
"That’s definitely timing in my bank account’s favor," Bette said. "Oh well. Another one for the win column and an unexpectedly light week results."
They walked into the shop that was downstairs from Tina’s office.
"Why don’t you pick a table and I’ll get us coffee," Tina said. "Any special instructions?"
"Regular brewed coffee with a little milk is fine for me," Bette replied.
Tina made her way over momentarily with their coffees appropriately doctored for consumption.
"Nice you could come in the morning," Tina said as she set the cups on the window side table. "This place gets crazy as lunch approaches and then stays that way for the rest of the day."
"There’s always a place for us at Daddy’s diner," Bette said. "Of course he might put a pot of coffee in your hand for you to help with service if it’s busy."
"You can take care of service, I’ll be the cook," Tina said. "I’m more of a ‘behind the scenes’ kind of person."
"You like being in the spotlight with a case though."
"Only if it’s well prepared," Tina said. "I can’t pick up someone else’s pieces and run with it."
"There are a lot of good people working on this appeal," Bette said. "The dialogue last weekend was a testament to their dedication."
"It’s a cause that matters to us," Tina replied. "We’re making history."
"And history gets written by those who win," Bette noted.
"Let’s hope it’s our interpretation of events that future generations get to learn about," Tina said.
"Helps to be on the right side of the law," Bette said. "Not to mention the sway in public opinion since Prop 8 passed."
"I can’t be too optimistic," Tina said. "That would make me complacent."
"You are anything but complacent about your preparation. I know the fight is in capable hands."

Swimmie, I’ve only read page one and I know the rest of it will be awesome. Their banter is just superb, too bad you were not a writer on the show and I most sincerely mean that. I’ve told two or three writers that and I mean it for all of you. I’ll be back.
Five weeks is a long time to let the imagination wander… but I get the impression Bette’s got plenty of patience in reserve, even if she seemingly has few reservations when it comes to what she’ll say to Tina. Enjoyable as ever, jks. Thanks for taking the time to post!
I doubt the five weeks will go quickly for me. I hope it’s not real time but accelerated fanfic time. ;-)Delightful as usual.
Good things come to those who wait. : )
I’m in love with their innuendo laced dialogue! The way the tension is building between these two…Bette is going to blow Tina’s mind! Can not wait for your next post :))
LOVE IT!!!!
Awwww Swimmie you’ve given us another zinger from these two. Bette had better have the patience to wait for Tina and I have a good feeling that Tina just might surprise her. Bette must remember you have to watch out for the silent types that can giver verbally as good as she gets. The only thing is Tina can deliver the goods when its time. I can hardly wait for the five weeks, hope it is only about two and a half or three for us. Bette is laying it on thick with Tina and it is weighing on her mind but she will make Bette wait. And it will be the best gift that Bette has ever received. Wonderful, wonderful chapter. Thanks for posting. Post when you can.
Swimmie, I hope that’s not five weeks real time! LOL
But I really do love the tension and the dialogue, so take all the time you want.
This just keeps getting better.
Love it.Thank you.
thank you for the updates.
Yay, yay, YAY!
Love this, thanks
holy smokes…five weeks to wonder. Great chapter as always. Thanks.
Surely Tina has heard of multi-tasking? Maybe not. Five weeks will fly by in a flash. Staying overnight after the first date, in separate rooms? You’ve changed the story but I still say, “Well, aren’t they modern!” Loving the dialogue! I’m looking foward to their legal maneuvers as much as their potential romantic ones. Thanks!
Just wanted to inform you that I have zero (0) self control. Zilch. Nada. Zip. I’m reading all 6 pages in one go! As they say back on the farm, “How you like me now?” , Back to the story…
Wonderful thank you
Excellent! Sorry I was late to comment, I have been busy, practicing with cherry stems.
Yes she will and she will be there for you Tina, please post more, thanks!
Loved it. PPS
