Chapter 17
Tina frowns as she watches her, and Bette eventually looks over at her.
(Bette) Still want to talk game plan?
Tina takes a breath and continues watching her.
(Tina) Is there anything else?
(Bette sighs) No, not really. I think the cheating and the kidnapping are probably the biggest hurdles for you here
Tina nods and has a sip of wine.
(Tina) And what are your hurdles? Do you think you could ever forgive me for leaving you? And punishing you like that? For using Angie against you?
Bette sighs and looks downwards for a long while. She eventually takes a breath and looks over at her.
(Bette) Honestly, I could, I think. But you would need to be sorry, and I don’t think that you are
(Tina) I apologised already, not five minutes ago!
(Bette smiles) That doesn’t count Tee
They smile sadly at each other and then both have a sip of wine and sit in silence for a moment. Tina looks over at her.
(Tina) Do you want her back?
Bette looks at her for another moment before speaking.
(Bette) It’s not what she wants, so what would it matter if I did?
Tina puts her wine down on the coffee table and then focuses back on Bette.
(Tina) Imagine for a moment that she does want it. That she still loves you and is sorry for her behaviour, and can move past yours. That she wants to start again. Would you want it then?
Bette looks at her.
(Bette) Yes
Tina hits her arm.
(Tina) Then find out for fuck’s sake!
Bette smiles and rubs her arm.
(Bette) I can’t actually remember you hitting me this much
(Tina) Well I can’t remember you being this defeatist
Bette smiles and shakes her head.
(Tina) If it helps to motivate you, I think she’s still in love with you
Bette looks over at her.
(Bette) Why do you say that?
Tina shrugs.
(Tina) Some things I’ve been told, and some I’ve noticed
Bette frowns, waiting for her to continue.
(Tina) She still has her wedding ring
Bette raises her eyebrows.
(Tina) It’s in the top drawer of her bedside table
Bette looks downwards as she takes this in.
(Bette) I don’t think that necessarily means anything

Finally K! I think Tina had a mental breakdown with all the anger and frustration. They know they loved each other so much. They have to do the work. PPS
I knew it!! I felt an update coming today!! Thanks, K!! Tina is sooooo endearing here!
Wow, so much anger over events that happened a long time ago. Sometimes it’s easier to hang on the anger.
Maybe Tina had a mental breakdown like majicspider60 already mentioned.
Can they work this out after Tina is back in the present, is Bette willing to make a move when Tina doesn’t remember this time if she returns?
Thank you for this brilliant written story!
So many questions!
Please post again soon so we can be part of the answers.

I believe Tina is right…. they can work it out whether Tina remembers this relationship during her amnesia or not. The feelings and the desires are there in both instances. It is up to Bette to want to agree to give reconciliation or at least civility a try. Tina has already made movement in that direction… Bette just meet her halfway and talk to her. Find a way to drop the predisposition that she will still be angry. If you Bette make an effort to at least communicate and Tina responds, there is a chance to get over these hurtles. Most of all drop this idea that it cannot be fixed. Maybe it can…. You both need to try. Neither of you have anything to loose by trying…. You have a horrible relationship as it is. Talking can possibly make it better.
Thanks for the update… this is a very good story.
It has been the same for so long that Bette feels there is no reason to try to fix all the wrongs between them, but I think she is willing to risk her heart to see Tina back in her life in some capacity as long as it is not hate filled anymore. Hopefully Tina does remember bits or feelings from her time with memory loss, so they can at least try to be better towards each other. Please post soon.
