Chapter 30 – Toronto – The Move
Tina: I haven’t washed my car in a couple of months. It has been too busy for me to get to it. But the inside is reasonable. Get in.
Bette: I forget what it’s like to live in snow country. Road grime on the car is just a part of living here.
Tina: I’ll see if I can get it washed this week. Hopefully, it will be easier for Doug to sell.
They got into the vehicle and proceeded to a small café which was downtown. Tina found a parking space with a meter. She quickly found the change and feed the meter for two hours’ worth of time. Once inside the café seemed very much like a rustic cabin type interior. There were square tables throughout the establishment and then there was a large fireplace. Tina and Bette removed their heavy coats and the hostess escorted them to a table which was near the fire place. She asked if they would like a cocktail or something to drink.
Bette: I would like to get some water and then a cup of coffee with some cream please.
Tina: Same for me please. Are you okay Bette?
Bette: Fine. I’m just a little tired. That was a long flight, and the seats were not exactly designed for the best sleep, and I miss having your body touching me.
Tina: Well, as soon as we get the groceries we need, we’ll go back to the apartment and make it an early night. And I promise to put my body right next to yours so you can relax and sleep.
Bette: Sounds good. But I feel like I’m wimping out on you. I know you want to get started right away.
Tina: I anticipated that this would happen. It is a long flight and when you lose 3 hours of time, it seems worse. Are you feeling okay?
Bette: I feel fine. Just a little tired.
Tina: Well, we’ll get just enough groceries for three maybe four days. Breakfast and lunch mostly. For dinner we will order takeout delivered or go out if the mood strikes us. We will make the decisions as we go. Besides the boxes will not be delivered until tomorrow. So, we cannot go full bore until they get here. I figure we can empty the closets and fold the stuff and get it ready to go in the boxes. When the boxes get here, we will load and tape the boxes and then make the labels and then repeat the process or fold and put into the boxes directly.

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….
