    Day six, letter six

    The house was quiet with Tina gone but in a different way than it had been in the months leading up to Thanksgiving. It was a peaceful quiet, like the whole house was sighing contently now that the right people were living in it. Gone was the oppressive, depressing silence, replaced by the sound of a full dishwasher, a clothes washer running a full load of clothes, the hum of a refrigerator stocked.

    There wasn’t too much cluttering her inbox, so she roamed the house, turning on the tree lights and the lights over the mantle, wrapping a few presents to put under the tree for Tina. A bracelet, some lululemon workout clothes, a new running watch. God, Tina in the new exercise leggings. Fantastic.

    She went in the kitchen and had some leftover chili for lunch, noting the salmon marinating in the fridge, the flowers in the vase by the sink, the grocery list on the counter. All signs that more than one person lived here, that she was not alone. That it was time to start thinking about this being permanent. She was ready wasn’t she? It was up her, this she knew. Tina made it clear that she wanted Bette back, that she was ready for Bette. But old doubts and insecurities roamed the halls of Bette’s brain late at night. What if Tina left again. What if….

    In the laundry room she put the clothes from the washer into the dryer, smiling at the mix of her clothes with Tina’s, the familiar t-shirts and pajamas that had long been missing from the house, the bras hung up to dry. She changed the sheets, added some blankets to the bed and vacuumed. She passed by the guest room and went in to see if there was anything needed there.

    While Tina wasn’t sleeping in the guest room, she was keeping her suitcases and most of her clothes in there, waiting for some as of yet unsaid signal from Bette that they were officially together again. She was surprised that Tina had so little in the room, two suitcases of medium size did not indicate to Bette that Tina was serious about moving in permanently.

    Panic set in. Anxiety. Worry. Then anger.

    1. Wowzer! Great way to pass the time with a Nor’easter brewing outside. Yes, ma’am. Some really hot Bette and Tina lovin’. Tina moving her clothes from the guest room to ‘their’ room was perfect. Just what Bette needed to witness. Tina anticipating that Bette would need this kind of reassurance – that she was home to stay. From the letter in which Bette addresses each of her friends and their suggestions to help Bette with her loneliness. To this:

      “The house was quiet with Tina gone but in a different way than it had been in the months leading up to Thanksgiving.

Gone was the oppressive, depressing silence, replaced by the sound of a full dishwasher, a clothes washer running a full load of clothes, the hum of a refrigerator stocked.”

      Yes, yoga is a very good thing. Going to a club can be fun. Good food is important. But Foxworthy is an ass. We all know Bette only needs one freaking form of therapy right now. And she has it, in her arms, in her heart, and blessed be, in her bed! And her name is Tina. Excellent chapter.

    2. Bette has finally given in to her desires and needs. She not only wants Tina…. she needs Tina. And Tina needs her as well. Making Bette tell her what the problem what the problem was very important to their relationship. Had Tina ignored this, Bette would have evidence that Tina was not for real. But Tina pursued the problem, she made the move and showed her the evidence that she was not just in Bette’s home but in her bedroom and ready to store her suitcases beyond her reach.

      Merry Christmas to Bette and Tina…

      Thanks for the chapter….

      • Martha,
        Agree. Tina recognizing Bette’s “angry” stance and not getting defensive but asking her what was going on shows another step of progress. And after Bette voiced her fears, Tina explained that she had brought all that she had. Then when Bette expressed yet another fear, that it would be easy for Tina to pack those two suitcases and both, Tina demonstrated by emptying the suitcases, placing items in their rightful place in the dresser and back & forth until empty.

        I really like your observation that Tina was trying to store the cases “beyond her reach”. Wow.

    3. What a fantastic chapter!

      I could say so many things, point out all the things that catched my eye but simply don’t have the time.

      I fully agree with the comments above!

      Such a pleasure to read this! Thank you BK!

    4. BK, interesting letter. Seems like the situation finally really got to Bette. At first it was acknowledging that Tina wasn’t in LA, away from Bette but it felt a little like Tina was only on vacation for a few weeks and Bette was sending postcards to Tina to tell her “I hope you enjoy your time over there, here’s what’s going on back home”.
      Admitting that her friends are trying to help her to take care of herself I’d say that she had a depressive phase. Shane trying to get her to socialize, Alice recommending a therapist, Kit worrying that she’s neglecting her health, Dana with yoga for mindfulness or stress relief? She loves her framily but she realizes how much she needs Tina.

      I can picture how Tina read every letter but read this one more than once as she noticed the slight change in Bette’s mood. I would think that after the last letter before she returned to LA she’d make the decision to answer all of Bette’s letter with one in return. No matter if they would find their way to each other again or not. Now with the decision made Tina could write a long letter to Bette, sometimes answering directly to Bette’s letters, sometime relaying her thoughts while being in SC or away from Bette. Tina would post this letter to be send to their house so that Bette would find it in the mail.

      After this totally unexpected, steamy, albeit loving and beautiful physical reunion Tina would have a lot to tell Bette in a letter. That was hot, BK. And the perfect moment as well. The sign that Tina was waiting for: Bette telling her that she wants her to stay. Well, in other words. Like Billy said it was important for Bette to actually see how Tina moves back into their home. It completes the traces of Tina she found earlier all over the house.

      Will they be able to leave the bed before Christmas? Maybe to go to the master bedroom ;-)

      Can’t wait for tomorrow and the next part! Thank you for sweetening my evenings!

      Take care.

    5. Hey BK,

      Sorry I’m a little late in my comment – but what a chapter!!!

      Finally, Bette gets the reassurance she needs and both can’t resist the other any longer.

      Sweet release & them just falling into each other – being honest & allowing that deep love express itself.

      Thanks so much for this light that you have given us.

      Looking toward to today’s post!!!

      All the best

      Collins
