“I’m okay. What about you?” Tina asks. She still cares for Carrie, even if she cut it off abruptly.
“Missing you.” Carrie honestly replies.
“I’m sorry Carrie. I miss you also.” Tina says.
“Enough to come back home?” Carrie asks.
“No, I’m sorry. This is where I’m meant to be. And I am deeply sorry for the way I left. But my family needed me. And… and I realized something when I got here and spent time here that, this is where I need to be.” Tina says, trying to be open and honest with Carrie. She deserves that much.
“Our whole relationship, was it just a fling for you?” Carrie asks softly.
“God, no Carrie. I was happy. You helped me become me again. I was so lost when I met you.” Tina says.
What Tina doesn’t know is that Bette woke up right after and can hear the conversation.
“But when I look back now, I guess there was something missing for me. That last connection.” Tina says.
“But you said yes to my proposal Tina. Was that just…” Carrie starts.
“Carrie no. When you asked me, I was so happy. I believed with everything I am that I would make a permanent life with you.” Tina says.
“Then what happened?” Carrie asks.
“The knowledge and scare of maybe losing Bette.” Tina says as tears starts to fall. “I honestly thought I was over her and that I would make a life with you Carrie. Never doubt that. I did not lead you on. I’m not that kind of a person. But when Bette called with that news. Something changed for me. A feeling so deep that I could not ignore it.” Tina says.
“What feeling was that?” Carrie asks, afraid to hear the answer.
“Love.” Tina simply says.
In the next room, tears are falling from Bette’s eyes. Now she really knows that Tina is back or at least willing to do everything to get back.
“Just love?” Carrie asks.
“It’s not just love. I’m in love with her. I lost sight of that for a long time. Let other feelings, situations, moods get in the way of that one simple thing. Love.” Tina says. “And now I’m working like crazy to get back to that place. And I am so sorry I’m hurting you in the process. Carrie” Tina honestly says and hope that Carrie understands her.

I think Tina needed this conversation with Carrie – she got her closer. And i agree that maybe she needs to go to therapy – to find root of her problem – why she left Bette the last time
agree 100%.. Depression is no joke, while it explains why Tina did what she did if she doesn’t get help and or medication for it, they will find themselves in the same boat as before. Lovely lovely story, thanks. PSS
This was a good conversation between Carrie and Tina. But I really don’t think that Carrie will give up so easily. Of course, if this is the first conversation in a month since she left in a angry hurry, maybe this was enough. I’m surprised she waited this long. Perhaps she was waiting for Tina to call her. But Carrie still did not know Tina very well. And even in that conversation she did not ask how Angie was or how Bette was. So she continued the conversation from the night Tina left. And this relationship may have worked if there was no Angie…But I doubt it. Sooner or later Angie would need her mother and Carrie would be miffed about it. This conversation between the two was substantially about Carrie – do you love me? did you lie to me? why are you leaving me? how am I going to go on? And the biggy for me – I am going to let you get OUR stuff out of the apartment! That is why I do not think Carrie sees that this is over. As long as the apartment stays in tact, then she will have hope she will return.
Very nice explanation of the reason for break up. Its going to take some time for Carrie to process. Maybe she will.
Thank you for the story… love to see more…
