    Author Notes:

    “Tina,” Bette’s brow was creased in hesitation. “I would love nothing more than for us to be together again. But I need to go slow and we need to address . . . everything.” “We will go slow and talk it all out. I promise you that.” “I need to be able to trust you.”

    “Tina,” Bette’s brow was creased in hesitation. “I would love nothing more than for us to be together again. But I need to go slow and we need to address . . . everything.”

    “We will go slow and talk it all out. I promise you that.”

    “I need to be able to trust you.” There is a trace of sorrow but strength in Bette’s voice.” I know that may not be the kindest thing to say given the circumstances, but it’s the truth. We have to rebuild that trust before I can give you my whole heart again.”

    “I understand, I really do.” Tina took a deep breath. “I know I have a lot to prove to you and Angie and I will. And I’ll show you with my actions and with my presence back here in LA. It will take time and it won’t happen overnight. I know trust has to be earned and is built one drop at a time.”

    “I need to know what we can do better for each other so that we don’t land in the same place a year or two from now.” Bette stated her biggest fear. “My heart can’t take another breakup.”

    “Me neither.” Tina reached out to her take Bette’s hands once again in hers. “We will talk about everything.”

    Bette finally managed a hesitant smile for the woman she loves. “I really thought we had made so much progress when we moved to NYC.”

    “I did too.” Tina blinked. “We were great the first few years. But then things got complicated, and I . . . I closed down and started to avoid issues. I slipped into the same pattern. This passive-aggressive behavior I have. I was trying to control everything by not opening up to you.”

    “Tina, contrary to what everyone thinks,” Bette begun, “I don’t always want or need to be in control one hundred percent of the time. I want us to be equal partners, to share our problems and successes.”

    “I want the same thing. This time, I intend to get it right.” Tina vowed. “And I promise to talk to you about whatever is on my mind or troubling me. I promised you that in the past, but this time I have the strength I didn’t have before.”

    1. A very nice filler Chapter, thank you. Do like B and T’s characters in this Story.

      Look forward to more
      SG

      • Hi SG,

        Thanks so much for following this story. The last 3 chapters have been very heavy & tons of info revealed & talked about.

        Our gals have gotten through this tough part & laid the basis for a start on their future.

        Some lighter chapters to follow.

        Again, thank a bunch.

        Stay safe yourself & stay well.

    2. Hi Collins,

      What a fantastic chapter!

      They are really on the right path to reconcile fully and both are aware of their own faults and flaws and determined to work individually and later in couple therapy to make sure they don’t will repeat those same mistakes ever.

      Open and honesty communication is the key and it is wonderful to read and see that they are fully committed to work at that.

      Love how Bette told Tina how beautiful she is inside and outside, it was a beautiful declaration of the love Bette has and always will have for Tina.

      To take Bette’s fears away about Tina not leaving again, it will take time and actions for Tina to prove she is not going to run away from Bette if she is afraid, feels inadequaat or simply buries what ever her troubles. Trust needs to be rebuilt and the only way to do that is to turn words into action.

      Great talk with Angie and Bette telling that she needs to prove to Tina that she has really changed and admitting she didn’t always back up her words of love or support to Tina was a huge telling point that she really changed.

      Slowly they are going to rebuild their relationship and i look forward to see how you takes us through that journey Collins!

      Thank you for this incredible story!

      Take care and be save and healthy my friend ????

      • AGREE with Bibi 100%. This is a nice bookend to the buildup from the previous chapters. Tina still has some work to do but it appears she is ready to do what it takes. Talking so openly to Angie will hold her accountable now that she vocally committed to Bette in front of her daughter. Turning words into action like BiBi said is key – she can say anything she wants but she needs to SHOW Bette by her actions that she understands and is all in.
        Thank you Collins, you put a lot into this story and it is simply fantastic to read….

        • Hey my friend,

          Tried to weave all aspects of this fractured family & set them back on track on firmer ground to embrace their future.

          Yes, Tina still has a lot to prove & the future won’t be perfect, but the first steps have been made for a united reconciliation & they won’t squander this chance.

          Thanks so much for your support & encouragement.

          All the best my friend.

          Collins

      • Hey Bibi,

        You are so right about our gals finally being on the same page on what they want & how to accomplish it.

        In the past, they have both faltered in their commitment to each other, but now have this wonderful chance to get it right.

        They’ve gone through a lot of pain these last 3 chapters & now have a plan for the future.

        Thanks so much for your support these past few months in reading & commenting on this journey.

        Take care yourself.

        All the best.

        Collins

    3. Thank you foe the chapter!

      But how Tina think they can make a one issue – she would leave in LA half-year and other half-year in Canada? Long distance relationship are very hard and a very rarely succeeded. How she think it’s going to work?

      • Hi Zhenya,

        You are so welcome for the chapter. I enjoy writing them, although these last few chapters have been a bit tough to write & very heavy with emotions for Tibette.

        So the plan at the moment is for Tina to get her own apartment & be back in LA for the next 6 months that her show is on hiatus. Then she’ll come home for long weekends, holidays, etc until the show wraps up next year. And Bette & Angie can always visit in Toronto too.

        We’ve got a way to go yet in this story & still lots of stuff to discover about what the future will look like.

        Take care & thanks again.

      You have unpacked so much with our girls. Now the internal processing takes a turn.

      Loved the family meeting, Angie getting popcorn. I have to admit, I would be getting popcorn too with her parents telling their story. LOL

      • Hiya K,

        These last 3 chapters were a labor of love for Tibette & a determination to pave a path for their reconciliation.

        Lots of special moments & lots of hope for their future.

        Thanks so much for reading & your support.

        My best always.

        Collins

    5. Thank you for this beautiful chapter, Collins.
      T + B have come a long way. I love how open they are with each other. Both committed to be honest with each other and address things before they cause misunderstanding or worse problems between them.

      I agree to the previous comments, not much to add to that. It’s sad to see how profoundly Tina’s experiences in her youth shaped her view of herself. But if Bette continues to give such amazing, loving compliments she will be able to change her self-perception.
      Bette’s description of Angie and all her traits that Bette links to Tina is very sweet. What a declaration of love not only for her daughter but for the birth mother as well. Love it.

      I’m so happy that you don’t let Tina take all the blame for the divorce. Tina does have a lot of issues that shaped her and influenced many of her subconcious and automatic reactions. But sometimes I miss Bette reflecting on her part of the separation as well. You make Bette see her part in all of it and her need to work on some of her habits as well. And she tells Angie that much as well.
      “She had to admit to herself that she sometimes did get distracted by work, artists or other obligations. But not anymore. …. No more taking up too much space.”
      Exactly! Thanks for that. Maybe the GQ writers will consider something like this in the second season.

      With the election about to happen I wonder what would happen to all those promises if Bette did make Mayor. Would she really be able to make more time for Tina and Angie? Wouldn’t her job consume so much of her time? Always on call for such a big city like LA? I’m not so sure Bette could make good on her promises.

      Looking forward to the next part. Still catching-up on the newest stories. At least I can go on reading immediately, a huge advantage of my work getting in the way of checking in on lesfan.com for more than a week ;-)

    6. Hey K,

      Thanks so much for leaving a comment.

      Like in most everything we do as a couple – it always takes 2 to make it work or not. Bette has her own issues & has to be committed to not allowing these distractions to overtake her personal life as she has at times in her past.

      If she were to win the election, she would have to carve out some ‘family time’ for Tina & Angie. It would be a challenge, but one I think she would be very aware of & committed to keeping. Being flexible would be key. Delegation is key & holding onto those boundaries between personal & professional life is important. And with Tina back in LA, she won’t have to do everything alone – they could do some events together.

      Tina still has more to work on & you’ll see that in the next few chapters. But progress is being made & that’s what matters most.

      We still have several more chapters to go, so we’ll see where that leads our gals.

      Take care & thanks again.

      Collins
