    Author Notes:

    (Bette) Well I won’t stay long, you need to get to bed (Tina) Can I get you a drink? A tea? (Bette) I’ll just have a water but you sit, I can grab it. What did you want? (Tina) Hmmm, scotch? Bette raises an eyebrow. (Tina) You’re right, better not. Tea please. There’s a box

    (Bette) Well I won’t stay long, you need to get to bed

    (Tina) Can I get you a drink? A tea?

    (Bette) I’ll just have a water but you sit, I can grab it. What did you want?

    (Tina) Hmmm, scotch?

    Bette raises an eyebrow.

    (Tina) You’re right, better not. Tea please. There’s a box of peppermint by the kettle.

    Bette goes to the kitchen and prepares their drinks. When she returns she finds Tina lying with her head resting on a cushion, fast asleep. Bette stands still for a moment and takes in the image. She then places their drinks on the coffee table and kneels down on the floor by the couch, leaning over and gently rousing  Tina by moving a stray hair from her eyes.

    Tina wakes and looks up into her eyes, also transported back in time for a moment.

    (Bette talks gently) Hey. I’m going to go. I didn’t want to leave you sleeping having not set an alarm, I know you probably need to get up at some ungodly hour

    (Tina sighs) Thanks. Sorry, I’m embarrassed. I’m sorry to waste your time, I guess I underestimated my exhaustion.

    (Bette smiles) It’s fine

    Bette stares at her for a moment

    (Tina) What?

    (Bette) It’s just an image I never thought I’d see again. You sleeping.

    Tina looks at her for another moment before reaching towards her and pulling her in for a gentle kiss.

    (Tina) Can we arrange another time? When we can talk?

    (Bette nods) Yes, we’ll work something out

    They smile at one another and Bette gathers her things and heads out the front door, closing it quietly behind her.


    Saturday evening, Democrat Party function. Bette and Tina are both in attendance and have been aware of each other throughout the night, though their paths haven’t crossed as they drift in and out of different conversations. They have shared a few glances, and have both been trying to find a way to catch the other in a quiet moment. Towards the end of the evening Bette again catches Tina’s eye and makes her way over, as Tina makes an apology to the group she is talking to and walks towards her.

    (Bette) I was wondering if I’d see you here tonight

    1. Interesting dilemma. Would need to wise, experienced women of integrity to pull it off and have privacy free from the poparazzi meddling and haters.

      Relationship wise, our ladies would have to set UNcrossible boundaries when it comes to avoiding even the hint of impropriety. So far,they are talking about the likely landmines.

      Thing is tho, they are not gonna like hearing or seeing peeps hit on their soulmate while having to adhere to a”no strings attached” platonic ‘ship.

    2. There is an example of a US Senator married to a Pulitzer Prize winning columnist: Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Connie Shultz of Creators Syndicate. Married in 2004 and Brown won his senate seat in 2006. Shultz did resign the newspaper she wrote for during her husband’s Senate campaign. Shultz can be a columnist, just not represent that she is independent with respect to her reporting to her husband or any of his political endeavors. For she obviously is not. With respect to Bette and Tina? My recommendation for both is full disclosure to the public – if they are going to see each other, they see each other and make a simple announcement. “Because of our personal relationship, Senator Bette Porter and Columnist Tina Kinnard are no longer independent with respect to each other.” It is the secret connection which is unethical…. once made public, then the consumers of their work can make their own judgements with full knowledge of the situation. Tina would have to work out her own employment issues. If she is as good as she appears, well then some other news organization would scoop her up in a moment if the current one did not like the situation. And Bette is subject to the approval of her constituents but only every 6 years.

      Fantastic story by the way….. crisp, unique and very adult. Both are equally human….

      • I wondered if there might be an example! Thanks for the info and taking the time to comment :)

        I guess in terms of Bette and Tina’s situation here I imagined since Tina is so senior at the NYT that her impartiality being compromised as editor would call into question the paper generally, as she’s responsible for the editorial decisions. I imagine even if she left the paper (which she’d probably be reluctant to do so early in her reconnection with Bette) the same issue would arise elsewhere due to her seniority. But that’s very interesting to know how it has been handled in the real world!!

        Thanks so much for reading and for your nice comments!
