“Thank you but I think you might be a bit biased.”
“Maybe a little but I think that young man you were just talking to would agree. I happened to sit behind him and overheard a conversation about you.”
“Really?”
“Yes and you won’t believe who he was talking to.”
“Someone I know?”
“Yes. Very intimately I would say?”
“Who was it?” Bette asked intrigued.
“Your ex.”
“Tina’s here?” Bette looked around the scattering of people trying to spot the blonde.
“She was earlier. I saw her leave right after the program.”
“So what were they saying?” Bette wondered.
“I’m not in the habit of eavesdropping but I got the impression that he thought you two were still together.”
“That’s odd. We’ve been separated for a year. I wonder why she didn’t stay to say hello.”
“Maybe she had somewhere else to be.” Emma offered.
“That just seems strange. I’ve never known Tina to come to one of these unless she was just there to support me. She’s not into art so much as to spend a Saturday afternoon at an art talk, and why did she leave without saying anything?”
“Maybe the conversation with the young man made her uncomfortable. I didn’t get the impression that she wanted to be noticed.”
“Well I hope she enjoyed the show. Maybe she’ll talk to me if her being here has anything to do with the center.”
“Is that the only time you two talk, when it has to do with the center?”
“Pretty much.”
“Do you want more?”
“I don’t want her to be uncomfortable or to avoid me. She doesn’t come to the Planet anymore. I know Alice has tried to get her to come around but she hasn’t been all that receptive.”
“If you’re ready to bring her back into your social circle then I think you’ll need to be the one to ask her.”
“She’s the one isolating herself Emma. I never wanted what happened between Tina and me to infringe on her friendships. I told her that.”
“Well maybe everyone including Tina will be more comfortable and accepting of that if you are the one that brings her back into the fold.”
Bette thought about it, and decided to make the effort. If Tina being there that afternoon had anything to do with her wanting to reconnect then she would make the first move. “The girls and I are organizing Marina and Jenny’s engagement party. Maybe I could invite her.”

Hey Bat, I really love your story. I read your comments, and as some others I never believed that Bette was the bad guy in the show (probably the directors, writers and some of the audience did); I personally was shocked with the lack of impartiality in the show; but your story is different, is not as in the show. I remember hating the way Bette was treating in seasons 2, 3 and 4 (remember trying to skip some episodes when watching TV), and how they made her guilty of infidelity with Jodi in season 5 and with Kelly in season 6 (the last one never happened). IMO the main problem was the uneven relationship (after Tina left her job), the lack of communication, aggravated for the components of an alpha partner and a weak defeated one, like the old idea of a traditional hetero-couple, and they portrayed every cheating in the same way (by the way one cheating doesn’t justify another as it may be apparent from the show). But your story is different, no Bette’s cheating, no daughter; here we have a strong alpha woman, popular, powerful and loved for everybody (no for Helena of course), and a weak defeated one with a great burden of guilt who suddenly has lost the compass of her life falling in the abyss of her remorse and pretense, trying to mask her own misery; both women are suffering and a great love is destroyed, but life keep going, they may survive and thrive; this is what I like from your story. Thank so much for your post and I’m eager to read your update, pps.
