Chapter 30 – Toronto – The Move
Bette: Well, if we go to bed early, we can get up early and get started. I should be refreshed and ready to rumble by then.
Tina (laughed): Rumble! That’s cute. So, what do you think you want to eat?
Bette: Interesting menu – barbeque, steaks, lamb chops, chicken, pork chops and some seafood. What are you going to have?
Tina: I’m going to have the lamb chops, the garlic mash potatoes and the sautéed spinach with a small house salad with a vinaigrette dressing. And maybe a glass of merlot with my dinner.
Bette: God, that sounds good. I haven’t had lamb chops in a while. Yes, that sounds good to me.
The waitress brought the water and the coffee and took their order and promised to have their salads out shortly.
Bette: This is a rather nice-looking little place. Feels very homey and intimate. Love the fireplace.
Tina: This is a family-owned restaurant which has been here for years. It’s usually full by 6 or 6:30. We are about an hour ahead of their rush hour so, they are not busy yet. By the time we leave, they will be lined up on the sidewalk to get in.
Bette: Well, big crowds usually means good food. Nothing like good food to get repeat customers.
Tina: I knew if we came early, we would not have any problem getting a table. And I hoped you would enjoy it.
Bette: I’m sure I will. How are you feeling?
Tina: I’m glad we are here. I’m glad you are with me. I want to get this chore behind me. It’s the final step to moving in with you and Angie. I want it done.
Bette: I’m glad to be here sweetheart. I am very willing to help you however I can. This is your project and you are in charge. I humbly bow to your wishes.
Tina: You are my partner in this. Do not be afraid to make suggestions and recommendations. Your organization skills are legendary. And I want the benefit of those skills on this project. The objective is to get Carrie’s stuff shipped off to her and get my stuff which I want to keep shipped off to our house and to get the balance of it disposed of either in the trash or to charity. Then terminate the lease, put a forwarding address at the post office, and hand over the keys to the vehicle to Doug.

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….
