“Oh so you don’t even want to be here now. Another mistake perhaps?"
“I didn’t say that.”
“It should be okay that you stayed over, you come over all the time with Angie.” came an adamant reasoning. “We’re friends aren’t we?”
“Friends.” Tina repeated without inflection. The pain in her head strengthened twofold.
Friends.
That sounded right but also so very wrong. Especially the way Tina said it.
Bette turned away.
“Don’t do that.”
“Do what?”
“Hide from me.”
She twisted her lips and suppressed refuting the charge. “Why didn’t you want to be here?”
“Do you really not know?”
She forced the issue. “Actually, no.” Seconds later a forthright Bette prevailed over the obtuse one and said, “I’m not exactly sure what to think anymore.”
“For years I lived in this house.” Tina emphasized with a clear voice, “with you.”
“Yes.” Needlessly her companion confirmed. That’s why the visual was so hard for her to digest. Jodi hovering over the blonde with care. In what was Tina’s home for a considerable while.
“We were together.” There was a pause. “In my mind we were married.”
“We were,” Bette agreed.
“Do you not see why I wouldn’t want to stay here?” While someone else was there. In their bedroom. In Bette’s heart.
Immediately the darker woman pounced on the chance to air her grievance. Expecting Tina to draw the line to connect the sequence of their statements. “You said you were sorry it happened. That it was a mistake.”
“You said you love her.”
The blonde looked at Bette who in turn didn’t balk at the challenge.
With an intense gaze they said more than any selection of words could. There was more between them and neither could deny it. Not anymore.
"We should talk when you’re feeling better." If she was struggling with this conversation how was Tina with the added burden of a hangover?
A loud sigh served as the reply. Feeling better? Physically maybe but not in the aspects that mattered so much more.
“We should talk now.” Her eyes drifted to Bette’s lips.
Blatantly, she stared at the mouth that could elicit so much passion and want. Clearly, both women’s thoughts immediately revisited the same memory that haunted the days and nights between that moment and the present.

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.
