    Author Notes:

    It’s cold out, but Bette wants to talk anyway.

     

    “It’s more than the fact that I didn’t, Alice. I can’t.”

     

    I squinted, made an attempt for a little levity: “Did you forget how?”

     

    She looked up at me, hurt. “***** you.”

     

    “Sorry,” I said quickly. I paused. Sinking down onto the pavement, I leaned back against the wall and brought my knees up to my chest. I wrapped my arms around myself and tried to get warm. “Why don’t you tell me what happened?” I gestured to the ground beside me, but Bette looked at it distastefully. She probably didn’t want to get dirty or something.

     

    After a few moments, she crouched down beside me, careful not to sit on the ground. It was such an awkward pose and she somehow managed to make it look so graceful and sort of breathtaking, her coat pooling around her, her gaze fixed on the street.

     

    “I could have,” she said plainly. “It would have been easy, too; that’s the whole problem, I think, that this whole thing has been… remarkably easy.”

     

    “Did you not want to?” I asked with maybe just a touch of hopefulness.

     

    “I wanted to.”

     

    “If you wanted to and you could have,” I began, frustrated, “why didn’t you?”

     

    She appeared just as frustrated as I was. “I don’t know.” She ran her fingers through her hair in a gesture I found oddly fascinating. “I told her I didn’t want this and that I should leave and we should… we should probably stop seeing each other.”

     

    Ouch. My own feelings for Tina aside, I knew what that felt like. “How did she react?”

     

    Bette chuckled and shook her head. “She… ***** had a fit. She’s very-” She swallowed. “She’s just full of emotions, right?”

     

    I didn’t know what to say to this.

     

    “I understand why she was upset,” Bette went on decisively. “She broke up with her boyfriend for me. But she said-”

     

    Her pained expression just about killed me. “What?” I asked softly.

     

    She looked down, scowling. She stared at her hands. “She said I was incapable of being in a relationship and she was sorry she’d thought things were more serious.” She looked up at me for my reaction, but I didn’t know which one to give so I glanced at the ground. “I got angry. I told her I wasn’t incapable of anything and I resented the implication. I resent that, Alice.”

    2. i don’t often comment on stories, but i just had to say how much i love this story, with so many excellent stories on this site yours stands out as one of the best. I look forward to your posts, please keep writing.

    3. Loved Alice’s list. When a perfectly good person just isn’t the person. Alice, I can relate.

      Bette is getting hers. Why aren’t I cackling with glee? Gosh, she’s human! And falling in love.

      Thanks!

    4. Girl, you are so fucking funny. GEEZ. Can’t get over it. And you nail these characters in such an original way. Not only do I get a real sense of the Alice I love, but also Bette, who you capture beautifully. And now Tina too–the image of her as Bette sees her, “having a fit,” is too perfect. It was what Tina meant to be doing when she pulled her jacket off in that lawyer’s office! Damn, they shoulda given Tina another shot at that one; even in baby blue, she coulda looked a lot tougher.

      Great story. Please keep writing!

      Love it. Keep writing.

    5. This story just rocks, plain and simple.

      The way that you get into Alice’s head, but at the same time get into Bette’s is astonishing.

      Taking the foibles that are common to all of us and bringing out into the open to be inspected without judgement is a gift.

      Fantastic story.

    6. Ole people are half human and half Hallmark CardsWhat does Old people start in yrs, Heck I might be old I did like Alices list. Bette is in trouble she wants Tina ,but nothing long term.

    7. Another great chapter – Alice’s list was funny and kind of heartbreaking.

      Your dialogue is amazing. Alice’s conversations with Bette are pitch perfect.

    8. Aliceisms that I learned today:

      Old people are only half-human and the other half is Hallmark card.

      [No]one should date their mother.

      Your Alice is SO Alice she makes me bipolar: I laugh and cry. Which definitely makes her no more or less Alice than that.

      And, in my right mind, I love your fic a lot. Cheers!
