Chapter 30 – Toronto – The Move
Bette turned on the side table lights and turned off the overhead light and then she went through out the apartment and turned out the lights and checked the door. She then could hear the water running in the master shower, so she went to proceed with her shower. She washed her hair first and rinsed and then she applied her conditioner and washed her body while it set for a few minutes. She found that the conditioner did a better job of relaxing her tight curls if she allowed the condition to remain on for several minutes. She then rinsed her body and hair and got out of shower. She quickly dried and put on her robe. She then plugged in her dryer and began to dry her hair and brush it out into the lovely mane which was her trademark.
Tina finished her nightly routine and put her dirty clothes and towels in the laundry room. She could hear Bette singing softly and drying her hair. This made Tina smile. Singing was something Bette had started doing after their separation. As Tina had no memory of her impromptu singing prior to that. Bette had a lovely voice and sometimes could wake the neighborhood with her volume. Tina had personally experienced that.
Tina turned down the covers and removed her robe and pajamas and put on her reading glasses and sat in the bed reading a book when Bette entered the room.
Bette: You look comfortable. What are you reading?
Tina: It’s a book on the biography of Ann Lister. I thought I would try to learn a bit more about this woman. The author basically read her diaries and put together her life story. Did you know she had a lifelong venereal disease?
Bette: Really, what, like syphilis?
Tina: No, some kind of bacterial infection which in today’s world would have been cured with a readily available antibiotic. It sounds horrible.
Bette: Well, I’d like to read that when you’re finished. She interests me.
Tina: Sure. Are you ready to go to sleep or do you want to read or something?
Bette: I would love to have a little make out session with you. I could use a few kisses and some hugs.

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….
