“Did you see her again?”
“She called me the following week to apologize. I wasn’t wrong about the signals but it was complicated. She and Valerie were having problems. Leigh wanted out of the relationship; Valerie didn’t. She’d proposed taking a break; seeing other people but Valerie wasn’t handling that too well. The attraction was mutual but I didn’t need any more complications in my life and I think Leigh realized soon enough that I wasn’t available. I didn’t make the effort. My heart still belonged to Tina, and even if Leigh were single I doubt anything would have come of it.
A few weeks later she sent me that exquisite glass sculpted crib mobile with the angels for Angelica’s nursery. It was exorbitant. I called to thank her and insisted on paying for it but she wouldn’t hear of it. She said I inspired a new collection called ‘Angels watching over me’ and this was a prototype. She wanted me to have it for the baby. Ironically we named the baby Angelica and called her Angel. I always thought of it as an omen. The day I received the gift Tina left a message on my answering machine to tell me that she had decided to let me be a part of Angie’s life. Once Tina opened the door all I wanted was my life back with her and Angie. I’ve thought about Leigh over the years and getting the brochure and the invitation just had me thinking about possibilities or more accurately lost opportunities.
“Do you think you and Tina might …?”
“No James. There is no possibility with Tina; not after everything we’ve put each other through. If it weren’t for Angie getting sick I doubt we’d even be in each other’s lives right now. All I can hope for is that we remain civil and try to be good parents to Angie.”
“Then maybe there is a possibility with Leigh this time.”
“I’d rather doubt she’d be interested.”
“I think you’re wrong Bette. Maybe sending the brochure and the invitation is her way of opening the door to another opportunity. It’s obvious you two made a connection and circumstances kept you from seeing where it might lead. Her new collection is called ‘Heart of Glass’ don’t you think that has some significance?”

Hmmm….Bette and the Senator? I like Bette with Leigh much better!! Great story..as always. Thank you!
Glad Bette is getting the attention she deserves.
Love the continuation! It is nice that Bette is so happy with most of her life. Maybe soon, all of it. Thanks for posting!
Ok, Leigh or Barbra would be good choices if you insist on it not being Tina. However I will not give up hope. As kit said, those two belong together.
Thanks! I want Bette with Tina also! I’m keeping the faith!
great chapter hm im not to sure I like bette with Barbara but im so pleased shes getting on with her life pps.
I really dont get why this wont be a tibette story especially when it’s obvious that still belong together in the story but its nice to read a lil difference in a story and trust me.you making sure all hope is lost, smh love it anyways, i want to see more angie and bette nights that would be awesome
Excellent story and your writing is outstanding. I always liked the Senator and even Leigh w/Bette. Either one would be a far better partner for her than Jodie, IMO. Of course, Tina was always my fave.
Like the Senator very much and certainly more than Jodie but I, and I think Bette, need Tina back in there!! Can’t you consider her at least being around so she can see what she is missing and show Bette that she is really the ‘love of her life’? I live in hope!
I feel like we are getting to the best part of the story here, haha. Hmmm, tough choice for Bette, huh, with all those women coming out, lol! I would be happy with whoever you choose for Bette (well, anyone but Tina). But, to be honest, I can’t see Bette with an older woman in this story (I always had an impression Barbara was older then Bette). Leigh, on the other hand – I am intrigued. What is her deal? Would be kinda romantic if she carried a torch for Bette all these years, lol.
I’m like the others: I really want to be with at the end of Tibette. It was always hard for me to imagine Tibette story, so that they are not together and live happily. I am glad that Bette begins to live his life. the senator is still better than Jodie (anyone but Jodie is not in the story!)
I loved it as always, but I hope at the end of Tina and Bette will be together.
My dear friend, I’m loving this story. We all have our baggage to deal with and Bette had opened hers up. Tina still carries a steamer trunk. I hope that she allows Angie to maintain a strong connection to Bette and her little brother. I can’t see Tina really being a part of that scene as she’s too angry about her life and how she’s created it. We all make choices and decisions and Bette has made better ones than Tina has so her life is sitting in a much better place. Tina needs a bit of therapy to let go of her anchors to her past so that she can move on and be happy. I’m happy that Bette is able to move forward with her life with Angie, the baby, Kit and her extended family. I only wish the best for Tina in this story.
Thank you my friend for your brilliance in writing amazing stories! I so enjoy them!
great story like to reed moore!!!
