Chapter 33 – FRIENDSHIP

“I imagine she’s anxious about that.” Helena furrowed her brow in concern.
“Yeah, a bit.” Tina nodded in agreement. ”But she knows how important this is. I’m just so thankful that she’s finally going to be getting the care she needs.”
“Rest assured that Bette and her team will provide Ashley with everything that she needs.” Helena knew that to be true from her previous discussions with Bette over the years and she implicitly trusted her old friend.
“Yes, Ash and I are both grateful to Bette for allowing her into the program so quickly.” Tina told her friend. “She seems to still be a miracle worker.”
“Don’t let Bette hear you say that.” Helena chuckled. “Her professional ego is huge enough as it is.”
“I’m sure it’s well deserved.” Tina beamed, believing in her former lover’s business expertise and medical skills. “Bette was always brilliant about her work.”
“Yes, you’re right in that. She still is.” Helena grinned. “Bette’s been an excellent doctor and researcher down through the years.”
“Yes, I’m learning more about those aspects of her career.” Tina added as she absently twirled the remaining wine in her glass. “Well, at least the more recent years.”
“Ah, been doing some research?” Helena tilted her head to the right in question. She imagined Tina still had many unanswered questions about Bette on many levels.
“Yeah.” Tina chuckled. “When I have a free minute.”
The truth was that Tina had indeed been conducting a large amount of research on the entire Porter family and business.
“Seems like that might be a bit of a stretch with what’s going on at the moment with your sister.”
“Yeah, Ashley and her illness has taken up a large part of my life the last few years. And I would do it again and again if needed.” Tina confessed, knowing full well she would whatever was necessary for her sister. ”But I feel that knowing more about Bette will naturally help me understand her better now in what drives her at this stage of her life.”
“Understandable.” Helena nodded. “Bette’s got a lot going on at the moment.”
“James told me she’ll be away on business for a few weeks.” Tina said, hoping her friend could fill in some of the blanks she had about the doctor.

Great chapter. So glad that Tina and Helena finally had the time to reconnect and renew their friendship.
And I wouldn’t expect anything less from Tina to pursue Bette at all costs.
Happy this story is back – one of my favorites!
I could not allow Tina & Helena to not reconnect, it made sense for them to meet up again. Besides, it was a great way to bring the story along update the readers on what action is happening.

Sorry to hear life was hard on you, i hope it’s better now?!
Love the friendship between Tina & Helena, i feel for Helena, trying to answer Tina’s questions but not betraying the trust of Bette.
Tina is smart, she will get her answers from Bette eventually but has to be patient.
Don’t give up Tina!
Hey friend,
Great to hear from you.
You’re right about Helena walking that fine line of trust because of her friendships with both Tina & Bette.
She wants Tibette to resolve their issues and reunite. Her encouraging Tina in her quest to convince Bette that they still can have a future together is a positive move.
Tina will definitely not give up!!

I would agree with your assessment concerning Helena’s thought on Tina & her relationship with Bette. She calms Bette down & smooths out those rough edges.
A well awaited meeting coming up.
