”Hey, I thought we’d meet at home. This is a pleasant surprise”
”Hey” Tina stood up and hugged Bette as she approached. She felt tension and heaviness all over her body, so she decided that she would not tell her about the session just yet.
Bette, in turn, felt Tina hugging her a little harder than usual and realized that the blonde did not just come to her work, but because something happened. ”How are you, baby?” Bette asked in a lower voice, still hugging Tina, holding her even tighter and stroking her hair. Tina did not answer, but only inhaled the fragrance of her beloved, burying her nose in her neck and absorbing her energy, which always filled her with strength, even at the end of a hard day’s work.
A few minutes later, Bette helped Tina get food and they both sat down on the sofa opposite each other. Bette realized that Tina didn’t want to talk about today’s meeting with Salma for obvious reasons – it’s difficult and it’s not always possible to tell everything at once. She decided to wait and not question Tina forcibly. She took off her jacket and tucked one leg under her, eating noodles with vegetables. ”Thank you for bringing dinner. I only saved myself with short snacks today, such a crazy long day”
”Was the meeting unexpectedly long?”
”Oh… we were supposed to finish an hour and a half ago, but it turned out that we had too many questions to discuss and too different opinions at some points. My head is spinning”
”I thought this job would be less energy-consuming for you” Tina said this while looking into her wok box.
Bette chuckled and raised her eyebrows a little. ”Yeah, I thought so too. In fact, I feel like I’m working in CAC again and performing not one, but ten functions at once”
”Agatha is a good worker?”
”Yes, she helps me a lot, if it wasn’t for her, I would have gone crazy right here from this multitasking. And in general, we have a good team here, all the guys are great” Bette poked at the noodles with her chopsticks and continued. ”Sometimes I think that you need to stop and not live in this frenzied rhythm, not solve all the issues yourself”

This story is very sad, yet inspiring. From the depths of despair can come hope if one will just look for it. Bette and Tina have both repressed their feeling of loss and hurt for a long time. And although this loss is something they will never get over they must learn to live with it and to put their lives into a loving and caring relationship with each other and with Angie. Its time to acknowledge the loss, feel the pain, heal each other and learn how to go forward as a result. Loss of a child is devastating. Dealing with it even more difficult. It can tear families apart… these two need each other… I believe they have made a good and positive start. They just need to get to the point where they turn to each other every time, when in need of comfort and solace and to be present when those times arise.
Thanks for the update….
Thank you for reading, Martha!
I really like your phrase “from the depths of despair can come hope if one will just look for it”
I think it makes a lot of sense.
Hi Ada,
This was so good, i almost don’t have words to describe how this chapter touched my heart.
I don’t have children and can’t imagine what a devasted loss it is when your child suddenly dies, but you did a excellent job to describe what Bette and Tina went through when they lost Oli.
I have full confidence in that this therapist will help Bette and Tina to come to terms with the loss of Oli and give it a place.
For the rest, I can only say that I fully agree with what Martha has written in her comment.
This is definitely one of the best chapters you have written!
I know I don’t always write a comment but I’ll follow your story from the beginning and through to your last chapter!
Thank you, be careful and stay healthy!
Thank you so much for such wonderful words, Bibi!
Although your comments are not frequent, they are always very interesting to read. The feedback is really important to me, and the fact that you gave it this time is so nice. I hope that you will enjoy the continuation of this story no less. Thanks and be careful too!
Ok, it was not easy chapter also.
I like the story about how Tina’s cold reaction on Kit’s death might be subconsciously reaction and even revenge for Bette’s reaction for Oli’s death. I think it’s very trustworthy. – as the story in s3 when i think all Henry story was Tina’s subconsciously revenge to Bette for carpenter.
Yeah, when viewing s3, I had the same thoughts.
Thank you, Zhenya!
Wow! Such an emotional chapter and very well articulated. The depth of these characters is never ending. Great chapter.
Thank you very much! This is so important.
