“Okay, okay. Heard.” Bette nodded. “The other night when you told me about your therapy.”
“Yes?”
“I’ve given more thought to seriously seeing someone professionally too.”
“Bette,” Tina swung her head around again to look at the brunette. “I didn’t say that to make you feel bad or guilty, I just want . . .”
“T, honestly, it’s alright. You’ didn’t give me that impression.” Bette motioned to her ex-wife. “I still have this unresolved anger and sorrow about Kit’s death and well . . . our divorce. And like usual, I shoved it down and refused to deal with it like I should have.”
“Therapy certainly opens your eyes to how you act and react.”
“Right and then I immediately got involved in the campaign and didn’t want to think about the problems.” Bette signaled a left turn and steered the car in that direction. “I think I want to see a grief therapist. Someone that can help me put a prospective on all this.”
“Okay, honey.” Tina caressed Bette’s right cheek. “It’ll help so much Bette. It’ll be good for you.”
Bette grabbed Tina’s left hand and placed a kiss on the back of it. “Thanks babe.”
“So, my love,” Tina pursed her lips. “I need you to cooperate with me about tonight.”
“Bossing me around again?” Bette asked with a sly grin on her face but her eyes on the road.
“No, just taking one more thing off your plate to worry about.” Tina shook her head. “Remember, you told me you didn’t have to be in control all the time.”
“Geez.” Bette chuckled. ”Remind me to sensor what I say around you from now on.”
“Oh, you’ll be fine.” Tina smiled and patted Bette’s hand. “You’ll change clothes at the office and Pierce has arranged for the car service to pick you up and drive you to the event.”
“Wait . . . What?” Bette quickly glanced at Tina as she turned right again. Surprise in her voice. ”You’re not going with me?”
“Uh, no.” Tina explained as she reviewed her notes for the event. “I’ll help at the office for an hour this morning. I have to coordinate the activities at the center with Dani. I’ll take the car if that’s okay. I’ll be there most of the day. I’ll meet up with you there.”

Hi Collins,
What a fantastic chapter!
I still feel emotional about the rings scene, so beautiful!
They still have a long road to go but i am positive that at the end they will be reconciled both in mind, soul, heart and in body. They are both committed and even Bette is thinking to seek counseling for the loss of Kit and the anger and loss of Tina after the divorce.
This quote was wonderful and explains right away why Bette held hope they would end back together:
“Kissing Tina was like kissing a sunbeam – warm and vibrant, intense and brilliant. Kissing Tina brought the flash of passion that Bette was forever caught by. Blazing through her soul – warming Bette to her core.
There seemed to be a halo effect around Tina and Bette was just spellbound to look away. Even in the worst of times for them, all Tina had to do was look at Bette with that love in her eyes and Bette was lost – lost in all that was Tina. The hurt, disappointment, heartache all melted away in that sunbeam that was Tina.”
And Tina knows Bette so well, her character assement on how Bette can respond when they were in the car, was spot on. And Bette thinking about it before she responded shows that she is really trying to change some behavior.
Collins, i can point out so many things that that captured my eye but it will be a very long comment!
Ok, one more, the flasback to the office of Tina and the costume Tina had on, the one that looked of Emma Peel, and their sexy time was hot as hell!!!
We are in a heat wave at the moment and probably for 8 more days but damn i needed a second cold shower after reading the flashback!
You wrote a fantastic chapter and i am looking forward to the party!
Take care my friend ????
Hey Bibi,
So you liked the chapter -uh??? Thanks for your comment.
Yes, they are both growing & looking inward for some self reflection. They need to demonstrate to each other just how much they have changed for the better.
I am trying to fill in a lot of gaps that OG never showed us about their relationship – how they felt about each other that just isn’t that they loved each other – but what about all the other little fragments of the puzzle that make up this wonderful couple. We’ll get some more of that in a few more chapters.
BK is doing just a marvelous job of the beginning of their relationship that we didn’t see in OG also.
So the party is next & some nice scenes with the extended family.
Back in the day – circa mid 1960’s I watched The Avengers on TV when it first was produced & was hooked on Diana Rigg who played Mrs. Emma Peel on the show opposite Patrick MacNee who played John Steed. She was just so lovely & very liberated for the times back then. And with Tina being in the film industry, she always has access to wonderful costumes.
It is very hot here in Texas also – phew!!!!!!!!!
Take care & thanks so much my friend.

So I have no idea who Mrs Peel is but who cares! The way you wrote Tina in the costume is all I need to know it was smoking. This is a lovely chapter. We get to see how Tina views Bette, I love the way you added her thoughts and feelings into this chapter as it pulls everything together. I like BiBi’s description of the “halo” effect, so very apt given the way you wrote this. Really nice to read, it flows into the preceding chapters very well. We should all be so lucky to have love like this. Thank you! Looking forward to your next chapter…
BK
Hiya BK,
Mrs. Emma Peel – you’ll find lots of stuff on the web about her/Diana Rigg. So Diana is British & had a very successful career in movies, TV & stage dating back to the 60’s.
Queen Elizabeth knighted her as a Dame several years ago – she was in your Game of Thrones show for several years – played Olenna Tyrell. I didn’t watch it, but I think she was in 3 seasons of it.
But she was HOT back in the day & was & still is a very classy lady.
It was Tina’s turn to appreciate the woman that is willing to forgive her. Theirs is a once in a lifetime love.
Let’s HOPE & PRAY that GQ thinks the same way!!!
Thanks for reading & your thoughtful comments.
Take care
Collins
Thank you for the chapter!
Yeah, i don’t know who is Emma Peel too and what her leather pantsuit looks like but it was still very good and hot throw back from NYC 2012.
So, are you going to allow Bette win election or not – i guess we find out in next chapters, right?
Hey Z,
The photo of Mrs Peel is actually from the mid 1960’s – but that type of hotness is always in demand – especially when you’re trying to seduce her wife as Tina did.!!!!!
The election – will she or won’t she. Can’t leave the cat out of the bag so I’ll just say that the future holds both Bette & Tina working together. Gotta stay tuned in to find out for sure!
Thanks so much for reading & taking the time to comment. I sincerely appreciate it.
Be safe & take care.

Love how you described Tina’s thoughts while watching Bette read. Simple times but often the most telling of an individual.
MRS. PEEL loved it!!!!

Hi SK,
So glad you enjoyed the chapter. It was just the two of them, but like always in every story about them they have a lot to say in many mediums – verbally, physically & intellectually.
As you know with your own story on them, It’s the little things that count the most.
Thanks for continuing to follow along.
Waiting for your next post as well.
Stay safe my friend.
Collins
Had a few days away with no Internet Connection and now catching up!
Great Chapter, loved it and the mention of Mrs Peel took me back years! I adored The Avengers and Diana Rigg as Mrs Peel, thank you so much for the memories :-)
Stay safe and post soon.
SG
Hi SG,
So sorry to hear about your internet issues. Hopefully you will be good to go for a long time now.
This was a good chapter – no drama this time.
Mrs. Peel – name from the distant past right? Gee, I remember watching The Avengers when it was broadcast in the US in the mid 1960’s & it was in black & white!!!! To a young girl like myself – Mrs. Peel had it all & we all wanted to be just like her!!!
Diana Rigg is such a classy lady & very independent for that period in history. I have been a fan of hers since those days. Sweet times for sure.
Thanks a bunch for leaving a note.
Take care of yourself & I hope you are doing well.
All my best
Collins
Lovely fluffy chapter! I like these lengthy descriptions of people. And it’s paradoxical, in a way, because in fanfic we actually need do a lot less physical character description because the actors are shared territory with the fans of the show – and yet, it’s really satisfying to read detailed descriptions! Weird.
I should remember Mrs Peel but I don’t really. Maybe I’m just a wee bit too young??? (Can’t imagine being too young for anything these days, haha) I remember the New Avengers (Purdy hair cuts at school!) more than the original but of course I know all about Diana Rigg’s leather cat suit. (But again, say ‘leather cat suit’ to me and I’ll think Suzi Quattro, lol)
Thank you for a great story, Collins. Looking forward to the next bit. X
I try to get into the mind and thoughts of the characters & sometimes from the other person’s perceptive. Sure, we all know what they look like both in OG & GQ, but how do they feel about the other, what’s in their mind.
So it seems I really stumped a lot of readers with the Mrs. Peel reference. I guess you have to be of a certain age to recall the original show from the 1960’s.There was a movie remake several years ago with Uma Thurman as Mrs. Peek and Ralph Fiennes as John Steed. It didn’t get good reviews & was a poor impression of the real thing.
But the ‘cat suit’ costume has been used in different variations over the years by many actresses.
Tina has such a rich resource of different periods and current trends & pop culture that it seemed like a natural fit to dig around in that ‘closet’ and find something to use in the story.
Thanks as always for reading and following along.
Chapter 17 is coming any day now!
Take care & best regards.
Collins
