Chapter 35 – ADVICE
Tina felt the brunette’s body tremble again, so she leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on her cheek. Her thumb traced the site of the kiss and she smiled at the brunette as she pulled back slightly.
“Go get some sleep.” Tina told her tenderly, a small smile on her lips. “We’ll talk again soon.”
“Yeah.” Bette managed as her eyes flicked down to Tina’s lips. She licked her own lips without realizing the action. “Sure.”
“Goodnight.” Tina’s hand drifted down Bette’s chest and she squeezed her right hand as she stepped further back and opened the front door.
Bette blinked, inhaled and swallowed hard to convince herself to move when what she really wanted to do was stay and kiss Tina senseless.
“Uh, get some rest yourself.” Bette nodded to the blonde and picked up her doctor’s case by the door. She held onto it tight to stop herself from reaching for Tina. All the while fighting the internal struggle of her raging emotions. “Goodnight. Until the next time.”
Before Tina could respond, the tall brunette was gone into the dark night. . .

Porter Laboratories, London – Several Weeks Later
By the eighth week of their stay in London, the Kennard sisters had developed a daily routine of tasks that kept them both active and busy.
Ashley started each treatment day, Monday thru Friday, at nine am sharp at the London based medical facility. Her program was regimented and steadfast in its methods and execution. Each day of the week held a mixture of medical, psychological and physical therapies as well as constant interactions with her team of doctors.
Mondays brought a series of tests and review by her oncologists. Tuesdays were dedicated to nutritional and supplemental review. Wednesdays brought a full evaluation with the physical therapists and tweets to her program of exercise. Thursday came with an individual session with her lead psychologist. And a full recap of the week occurred on Fridays with her team of doctors to chart progress, update all concerned and address any issues or concerns moving forward.
The younger Kennard sister embraced the schedule with enthusiasm, understanding the ramifications of all three therapies as they all converged together to improve her health and mental outlook on life.

Hey Collins,
Good to see a new chapter.
Your wife is more important, it’s positive there seems to be solutions for her limitations.
Ashley spoke rather firm to Bette and she is right. Bette needed it and now they are finally going to talk.
Bette never ever wanted to hurt Tina, in the past, present or the future, she could have explained to Tina years ago what happened to her father and brother and what it meant to her own future. She decided not to but come on, if you’re life has been tragically changed like hers I’m not sure how i would have handled things.
And now with her own health struggles, i can understand her hesitation to talk about the past and present. She loves Tina, doesn’t want to hurt her by dragging up the past and doesn’t want Tina to hurt not knowing how her health will progress and not promising her a possible relationship.
Great chapter!
Have a good weekend and give my regards to your wife
Hey, as always, thank you for the encouragement & kind words.
My wife actually had 1 procedure today & we are hopeful it will provide her with a good degree of relief.
Yes, these two knuckleheads are coming towards their big moment thus far.
I would say its about high time that someone gave Bette a hard time for a change!
Be safe.
So good to hear from you!
Sorry to hear about your wife’s struggles, but hopefully solutions are on the horizon and will be implemented soon. Hope all goes well.
That Ashley has some guts confronting Bette. Good for her, she cares about her sister so much.
And Bette needed to hear all of those points that Ashley brought up.
Now Bette has to find it within herself to speak honestly with Tina and not continue to hide issues from her.
Great to have you back and looking forward to many more chapters of this terrific story.
Thanks for your supportive words. Means a lot.
Those Kennard sisters can be a handful, especially when they are defending the other.
I don’t think Bette’s gonna have much of a choice to not talk to Tina, so let the fireworks start!!
More to come.
FINALLY !
Well, let’s not put the cart before the horse, Bette could still change her mind and come up with 10,000 excuses.
Good chapter, I hope everything works out for your wife. Good luck and hopefully we’ll read you soon.
FINALLY!! Ha!!
Bette could change her mind, but I won’t let her!! She’s gotta fess up – its well overdue.
Thanks for the supportive words. Fingers crossed!
Short, but very powerful. Nice job here.
Bette needed to get the perspective from Tina’s side via Ashley.
I could feel Bette’s hesitation, sorrow, regret. And certainly Ashley’s frustration and anger.
So looking forward to the next big chapter.
Sending prayers for you and your wife!
Thanks for continuing to be supportive & encouraging me to continue.
Actively working on the next chapter – lots to say & FEEL!!
Keep those prayers coming!
Well worth the wait as this is super charged.
Great chapter and very to the point. Bette can’t mistake Ashley’s intent at all – happiness for her sister.
Best lines – its the whole paragraph when Ashley’s describing Lynn – it’s so rich and exactly pins ‘the no good pilot’ to the seat of the cockpit!!
‘With that no good pilot? Captain Selfish?” Ashley scuffed in disgust. She had no positive thoughts on Lynn. She had disliked the brass woman from the start. Thought Lynn was far too arrogant and narcissistic. “The bitch would breeze into town on a flight with a layover in Philly. Didn’t matter the time or day and expected Tina to drop everything to be with her.”
Ashley doesn’t mince any words.
Thanks so much for your efforts as we understand the stress you and your wife are under. Best wishes and prayers for some relief soon!
Take care of yourself too.
Hey, I had hoped that folks didn’t forget about this novel & so thrilled to find out that those same folks are still following along. Yay!
Glad you enjoyed the Lynn bashing – she deserved it.
Thanks for reaching out & keeping me going.
Hey Collins
First, sending all positive thoughts to you and your wife. Good to hear good things are coming. Thinking about you both.
I LOVE this chapter. Ashley told it like it is – and that’s how Bette needed to hear it. Tina has always taken care of her little sister, now it was Ashley’s turn to take care of her big sister. Gotta say, Ashley sounded just like my sister.
Bette & Tina’s conversation is coming soon, and I can’t wait. Love how you’ve built up to it.
Take care, my friend.

Hey pal,
You’re so kind with your hopeful words for my wife.
Yes, Ashley got real this time & aimed right for Bette’s jugular – Tina! She needed to hear all this, especially from Ashley who had that front row seat for all these years.
This next chapter will be a roller coaster ride for both of them. Whew!!
You take care yourself.
Damn it !
I feel like nothing will ever get better. I hope Tina has more determination than I do.
Thanks for the update.
