Bette was impressed with the size of Tina’s office. It was large with dark paneled walls and a large bookcase with her awards, some scripts with no label and some labeled: “Winds of Winter”. Tina wanted to take her final write ups but knew they belong to Showtime and therefore would be left for her successor.
Tina’s executive assistant was shocked and somewhat grief stricken when she heard that Tina had resigned. This was not anything she had anticipated. Several of the office workers had come by while Bette and Tina were packing up her personal item to say goodbye. Tina wished them all well and assured them that this was strictly her decision and was definitely what she wanted to do. She had enjoyed her time with Showtime, but she needed to do what was best for her life. She introduced Bette to each of them as her girlfriend and the love of her life. Some remembered seeing Bette in Vancouver and smiled big smiles. They seemed to know that this couple was solid and made for each other. And each and every person asked who was coming in to take Tina’s place. And her answer was the same to all of them: “whomever Showtime wanted to hire, and I have no idea who that would be.” They filled two boxes with things to ship and Tina took a final inspection and grabbed a box and left the office with Bette right behind her with the other box and the bag of shipping supplies.
Once they were in the car and headed off the property. Tina said that she was glad that was done. She had enjoyed her work, but she was thrilled she wouldn’t have to do that job anymore. Bette appreciated her saying that. It verified that Tina was clear about her path she had chosen and had no regrets at least at the moment.
They headed for a commercial car wash which would vacuum out the car, clean the windows inside and out, wipe down the dash and the doors for dust, and wash the outside though the car washing machine. The whole process would take only about 45 minutes. Tina tipped the crew and then she and Bette went on to the post office near the apartment. Tina went in and filled out the appropriate address forwarding applications and asked that they start immediately. They could dispose of all the advertising bulk mail items. The forwarding would last three months. Tina would have notified all the senders directly of her new address. They needed to hurry back to the apartment in order to meet the FedEx crew to take the boxes headed for New York and Los Angeles. Tina suggested that they go have dinner out after the FedEx crew picked up the boxes. Bette agreed.

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….
