Chapter 30 – Toronto – The Move
Bette: This food is so good. Great choices sweetie.
Tina: Maybe we’ll go out tomorrow evening.
Bette: Do you want to pack this label maker to be shipped?
Tina: Yes, please. Let just print up a few extra labels. We will just throw them away if we don’t use them. Maybe I should have a cleaning service come by and clean everything once we leave. At least clean the fridge, the stove, the bathrooms, the kitchen and vacuum the place thoroughly.
Bette: I would recommend you have them to come early Thursday afternoon. You could then turn over the keys to management and know what shape the place is in.
Tina: Actually, I may ask that he come over and do an inspection before we leave so there will be no question as to the condition of the place.
Bette: Do you have a security deposit on the place?
Tina: Yes, but I think that I am going to ask that they apply that toward April’s rent and I will just pay the balance. Of course, they may get this place rented out by the first of April and I would not owe for that month.
Bette: Well, it’s a business transaction which is governed by your lease agreement. Therefore, if he gives you any slack, then it’s under his good graces.
Tina: You’re right. The negotiations are all over, just a matter of what he is willing to do.
Bette: We need to send a text to Angie and Shane and maybe to Pierce. Have you heard from them today?
Tina: No. Actually, I think I want to talk to Angie. I miss her.
Bette: Yeah, just remember the time difference. Do it just before we go to bed.
Tina: Well, I want to go to bed no later than ten. I want to get up early tomorrow. Maybe not as early as we did today. Would you like some cherry pie for dessert? Then you can do the labels while I clean up the kitchen.
Bette: Sure, let’s have some dessert. I think I’ll skip the coffee tonight. I’m enjoying this wine.
Tina: It is really nice isn’t it. Have you had enough food?
Bette: As my good friend from the south used to say: I’ve had a gracious plenty.

What a surprising ending, Bette asking Tina to be her wife again.
Is it to soon? if it feels right for both of them, time doesn’t matter.
They have packed Tina’s stuff and are ready to move in a new direction, new jobs and looking for a new beach house.
Bibi,
I actually am glad that you were surprised. Is it too soon? I guess it depends on how you feel about these two. Bette and Tina have taken the time to reestablish their relationship. They have a reasonable understanding of what happened to break them up. Tina made the effort to come back and did it voluntarily. They are both older, mature women who know who they, I believe know each other, as well as any two people can know each other. Life has it limits and sometimes, you have to accept that there are risks in every decision you make. Tina has displayed that she is willing to do whatever it takes to be with Angie, and she loves Bette.
The choice to me for both of them is really rather simple. Take this opportunity to make a life together or say goodbye forever. If things do not turn out perfectly? Well, I guess that’s life. But in the eyes of my Bette and my Tina, it is better to have tried and lose than never to try at all.
Thanks for reading…
Well, well, well …. A marriage proposal!
I can’t say I’m surprised.
Tina really has several all ties with her past, with Carrie and with her job with Showtime. She set out to do this, she knew she wanted it, so made her plan and carried it through perfectly.
All the time Bette was by her side, encouraging her but not pressing or pressuring her. Making sure this was really what Tina wanted.
This more than NY I think was more probably more emotional for Tina, cos she now knows, everything is done and she just has to concentrate on her new life with Bette and Angie, her new job and looking for the perfect beach house for their future together.
Angie and Shane are going to be blown away by this news ….. perfect timing, I think !!
Most who have read this story have said they were surprised by the marriage proposal. I think that both Bette and Tina are somewhat surprised themselves. Not something Bette planned but felt that it was the right thing to do.
These two women are a pair of equals in their relationship. They are the left and right arm of the couple. Will they never have problems? Doubtful. There will always be something which will rub one the wrong way. But they have a plan on how to work those bumps, stops and starts out. They now have sufficient information and commitment and love to go forward with A New Life.
Thanks for your comment….
