    Author Notes:

    I should’ve never let you go.

    "And you’re here to save me, is that it?" Tina asked sharply.

    "No, T." Bette lowered her gaze, and took a deep breath. "I’m saying I miss you."

    "B, I miss you too, but–"

    "Tina." Bette said forcefully, cutting her off. "I don’t think you’re hearing me."

    Tina looked at her, with emotions so raw, that Bette had to look down. Tina leaned forward. "I’m not sure I’m ready for you to miss me."

    Fair enough. Bette looked up. "Since we separated the gang’s hardly seen you. The only time any of us ever actually see you is when we exchange Angelica at The Planet. You don’t stick around, you don’t go out with us."

    "I have a baby I need to look after. I have a job." Tina reminded, leaning back in her seat. "Bette, I knew what I was getting into when we separated. I saw what happened to our friends when we broke up before Angelica was born. I don’t want them to go through that again. And I told you, when I cheated, I’ll be the bad guy. I know what Angelica means to everyone, that’s the only reason I still show up. But the rest of it?"

    "But –"

    "I don’t want them to worry about us." Tina said softly. "They have enough to worry about; and us without being polite included."

    "And the rest of it?"

    Tina sighed. "Bette."

    "I don’t take it as a good sign when Helena is the closest person to you. Or when our one-year-old is worried about her mother."

    "I’m a bad parent. Thanks. I got the memo." Tina snapped. "I’m trying, Bette. This balancing act thing’s harder than I thought, and if it weren’t for Helena I’d probably have even less time with Angelica than I do now."

    "T, if you need help—"

    "From who, exactly? You? When we agreed to the separation and you found out I was dating, you made it pretty damn clear your primary concern is Angelica’s welfare."

    "Tina, stop." Bette cut in. She grabbed Tina’s hands, and held them firmly. "Stop."

    Tina fought for a minute, then relented, letting Bette still her hands, and with that her own emotions.

    8. this.. is perfection. i forgot how one chapter from you can bring multiple emotions at once. i lol-ed at the opening paragraph, wanted to shake b/t in page 2, and have a shit eating grin by the end of the chapter. bravo. please post soon.

    10. Awwww damn that was beautiful. Love it. Keep writing, keep them talking, keep them loving each other. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thanks for the post.

    18. My heart is soaring right now. Bette took it upon herself to reach out to Tina who then reached back to Bette. Little Angelica is the ticket that both of the women can use to get back into each other’s arms. This was an extra sweet surprise and I feel like there may be hope (at least in your story) that these two can get back to some magical times again. Thanks!

    19. this is just perfect…it was missing from the show, i always thought that if B&T would date, they will fall in love with each toher again, or reinforce their love for each other…hopefully in s4…this chapter was brilliant

    20. Perfect, just perfect! I just love your dialogue. B&T were just temporarily diverted from their destiny with one another and are now finding their way back to each other… Thank you, tiff.

    26. Ok 2 things. i have to apologize for never reading your stories before. Clearly I’m an ass. Second, I just caught up on all of them and they are amazing. This story is awesome. Since we will never see the dating thing on the show, I am soo looking forwad to it here. Thanks for takin the time to write.

    34. I can’t believe I had forgotten about them agreeing to date again, but I guess Melvin’s death at the end of S2 just shook them up so much that Tina rushed back into the house and thus we got the flaming bag of dog poo known as S3. So yeah I agree with B&TF. Some people get back together to to find out why they split up in the first place, but B&T should definitely get back together SLOWLY (sorry I’m a slow burn kind of girl) to see what it was that made them fall in love with each other all those years ago. They have both changed, but not to the point that finding that love would be extremely difficult.

    37. Tiff….you make their dialogues so “life like”…..I’m loving their conversations, and can actually visualize the scenes. Please continue…….soon!! Oh…we seriously need this!

    39. I’ve just finished reading all of your charpers of Chandelier. Amazing, excellent en beautiful writing. This is exactly, how season four must develop, I sincerey hope IC is reading your stuff and take some lessons of you skills. Thanks for sharing.
