    They take in the exhibit, both enjoying the familiarity of something they have done together many times before. Bette points out a particular piece that catches her eye across the room and they move towards it, Tina coming to a stop first in front of the painting and Bette arriving a moment later, positioning herself closely alongside and slightly behind her. They take in the piece in silence before Bette takes another step towards her as she draws Tina’s attention to a particular detail, placing her hand lightly on Tina’s lower back as she gestures slowly along a brushstroke with her other hand.

    As they stand together Bette’s hand remains in place on Tina’s back, and after a moment she gently starts to move her thumb as she turns her head towards Tina, taking in her profile. Tina takes a sharp intake of breath at the touch, and they both remain in position. Tina then turns her head and they hold each other’s gaze, their faces so close that they are almost touching. Tina eventually smiles as she reaches between them and behind her back, taking hold of Bette’s hand. They smile at each other as Tina takes a step towards the next painting, keeping a hold of Bette’s hand and running her thumb gently over her fingers as they move across the room together. They are interrupted by the voice of another patron speaking over their shoulders.

    (Patron) Bette Porter

    Tina drops her hand suddenly and they both share a glance before Bette focuses on the unfamiliar person.

    (Bette) Yes

    (Patron) I’m sorry to interrupt, you don’t know me. I’m just a big fan of your gallery

    Bette nods in relief and then looks to Tina, who smiles and raises her eyebrows before turning her attention to the nearest painting, remaining close by in case Bette needs her.

    (Bette) Well, thank you very much. That’s always nice to hear

    Bette has a brief exchange and manages to avoid any detailed discussion of her gallery. She turns back to Tina once they have moved away.

    (Tina smiles) Good job

    (Bette) You don’t think they suspected I’ve never stepped foot in the place?

    Tina laughs and shakes her head.

    (Tina) No, you were charming

    1. Great to see a chapter!

      Team Bette or Team Tina, love the banter between Alice and Shane. Okay Bette sort of knows what happened but her reaction to the news is surprising me a bit, so calm and putting the blame on herself, as if she is the one who is responsible for all she and Tina did to each other and actually thinks she deserves it and maybe more.
      Still don’t understand why they basically don’t speak to each other for fifteen years aside anything regarding Angie.

      Look forward to the next chapter.

    2. The way I see this conversation went, they just touched the tips of the waves when there is an ocean of feelings, responses and reasoning underneath each decision and action. That is the part that the gang simply cannot describe to Bette in telling the story to make her understand her own behavior and Tina’s responses. “You were spiraling” simply is not adequate for Bette to understand the deep trauma she experienced in losing the baby and feeling the push away by Tina in sharing their grief. Nor can the simple statement that they lost the baby describe the severe grief that Tina went through. And it never has been explain why Tina decided to try for a second pregnancy without discussing it with Bette first. Tina made the presumption that Bette was ready for parenthood and that a child would fix their problems? Then to find out that Bette had turned to someone else for comfort has to be as traumatic as it gets…. And then after Angie was born, when Tina turns to Henry?? That was a major factor in Bette deciding to kidnap Angie. Yes, they both hurt each other dramatically and this explanation barely touches the trauma of the period. And as I recall, they were not exactly communicating at much of any level at the time. There is so much that Bette needs to know before she could possibly “fix it” between her and Tina.

      This is going to be a some story…. when Bette does regain her memory and regains the specific memories of why her relationship is what it is with Tina, that too is going to be a mind jolt… And there has been so much time which has passed, and the early indications of their current relationship is that Bette really just wants a co-parenting relationship… not a friendship and certainly not romance. Tina looks to be interested in a friendship for Angie’s sake and for her own but her romantic interest are elsewhere. It is obvious that Tina still cares for Bette and that she is attracted to Bette probably always will be. But Tina has moved on and made a life for herself without Bette. So let’s see what happens.

      Thanks for the chapter. Very interesting point of view… Look forward to more.

    3. I can understand Bette not wanting to have any relationship with Tina in current day if she feels deeply about never hurting Tina again. But in 2002 Bette hasn’t hurt Tina so all she can think of is wanting them together.

    5. I am hoping when Bette talks to Tina, that Tina let’s her know she regrets her part in the breakup. It is obvious Tina missed Bette and wanted to be more than just co-parenting with her. I don’t think either of them are madly in love with their current partners. You can’t get hurt when you are not that invested in someone. Even though Tina is engaged, it doesn’t seem like it is a soul mate kind of relationship. More like a companionship. At least I hope that is what it is. Don’t let go Bette.

    8. Ok, I’m not sure which story I like more. I’m leaning more toward this one. I wasn’t too happy with the retelling of what broke them up though. All the details were there but, Alice was leaning heavily on it was all your fault Bette. There is never a good reason to cheat, but there was a lot going on between the two of them that their friends did not even know about. Right now, Bette is on the outside looking in, so of course she is blaming things on herself because she is not the Bette they are describing. Hopefully after she talks to Tina, she will accept blame for the things she did to help their relationship spiral out of control. I am looking forward to the next chapter, please post soon.
