Quietly Bette stole away to visit the medicine cabinet. She bit her lip and winced. Wondering how Tina felt after spending the night.
When was the last time that happened? What was it – a year ago? Maybe longer? She’d been dating Henry for a few weeks. Sleeping in the spare room when she was ‘home’. Otherwise she was at his place. Enjoying the presumed normalcy of their interaction.
Bette wondered if Tina ever regarded his home as hers. A few minutes passed before she caught her own pensive stare in the mirror. Quickly, the brunette decided she didn’t want to know.
Clenching her jaw she tried to compose herself. She grasped at the plastic container that housed the tablets that would eliminate the ache that Tina woke up to. With a slight shake of her hand and a deep breath she brought herself back to the room that was filled with a moist air. Where her girlfriend had taken a shower not half an hour before.
Jodi.
Who took care to make sure Tina wouldn’t drive home while intoxicated. Who helped her ex settle comfortably on the sofa that the blonde herself had actually selected three years ago. Who carefully covered Tina’s still wet form from the pool’s water so she could rest in warmth through the night.
Speechless, she watched them.
She just stood there and saw everything play out in front of her. Jodi, her ‘now’ taking care of Tina who was…what?
What was Tina?
Bette’s brow wrinkled. This sort of thing just didn’t happen. Seriously … could anyone have orchestrated this scene? It dawned on her again how awkward and ludicrous the night turned out.
How angry she was with the rapid questions fired in her direction by the white actress who was to embody her in the movie.
How she admitted ignorance still about why she did what she did.
How Tina told her she regretted the moment they shared.
How she went home alone to join the shadows of the night and the thoughts that circled her mind to assimilate everything that was her reality.
Finally, how everything ended with the woman who once shared her home and kept all her secrets sleeping in the living room while she was in the bedroom with someone else.

I loved it, timeline or no timeline.
Just as the first time you presented this story, I felt that you had a better handle on Tibette than the writers of the show. They need to take a refresher course taught by you.
Even better the second time around!!!! :)
Thanks for reposting the story in its entirety. I enjoy your approach to the characters and the explanation of motive is often what we don’t see. Thanks for writing, and I hope you have time to share more soon.
i love how you’ve put all the chapters together. it does give a better sense of continuity. and also gives me another reason to read it again (and again).
”…the timeline is not perfect. ” Never worry about that, lwordid. (*my feeling is that anyone who watches tlw has already been innoculated against timeline detail frets. ;-) _ thanks for writing!
aww…loved it and i read the whole thing again, it worked better this way :)
simply lovely……great “stolen” line too! thx for this :-)
12 pages and still not enough! Thanks for putting all the chapters together and allowing your readers to enjoy this story in its entirety. Great stuff, as usual. Thanks for this.
