“Yes I am aware of that.”
“I was thinking that maybe she would agree to stay in Los Angeles until she got ready to leave for Italy. James is going to need help at the gallery and it would be a good opportunity for her to get some hands on experience. I was also thinking that maybe we could suggest a few select pieces to be sold at her gallery in Milan. Your collection is so extensive that it might be a good idea to consider an international outlet as well. The Romano family has a wonderful reputation in the European art world. You know they were the only gallery in Europe where my mother exhibited her work.”
“I wasn’t aware of that. Speaking of your mother’s work are you ever going to exhibit it again?”
“What do you mean? My mother’s work is in a private collection and hasn’t been shown for years.”
“Well maybe it’s time to do a retrospective.”
“The collector wishes to remain anonymous.”
“And so she shall but I still think it’s time for the world to be reintroduced to the fabulous works of Maxine Wolff right along with her contemporary Allyn Barnes. Can you imagine showing them side by side?”
“That would be spectacular. I’ll have to think about it.”
“You do that. I like your idea of involving Francesca and the Romano gallery. Why don’t you talk to her after you’ve had a chance to talk to James and see what she says? It will be good to have her in Los Angeles so we can keep an eye on her anyway. Marcus is going to be very busy preparing for his show in the next several months.”
“I know that is why I was thinking we should do this. I’m already feeling a little responsible for her. I’m glad they are coming to Los Angeles for Val’s show.”
“Yes I’m also looking forward to that. Hey I just noticed the time. You better get going dear. You don’t want to be late for your date with Tina.”
“It’s not a date Peggy. We’re just hanging out with Dylan and Winnie.”
“Well whatever you call it. Enjoy yourselves. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”
“Have a good evening Peggy. I love you.”

I love it. Now if Peggy agrees I can see Bette and Tina moving forward and start dating…..Question is how will she react to Bettes little family expansion……
Thank you for posting. Wonderful chapter. Pps
Moving along nicely but even if Bette and Tina are going to be in the same zip code nothing will come out of it right away…But this will at least give them a chance to connect more….Wonderful Chapter BAT2012!
Pie_Fair thank you for reading and commenting. I am enjoying your stories very much. I just wanted to reply to your statement that ‘nothing will come out of it right away’ even though Bette and Tina will be in the same zip code. Although Bette and Tina will be pursuing their own paths they are still progressing their friendship and building the foundation for the eventual relationship. Can’t promise they won’t have their ups and downs but if it’s worth having they will put in the work to make it happen.
And thank you for reading!..Very much appreciated..I do really love your story and see that Bette and Tina will progress slowly but I also like how you are writing Bette in this…Love the softer side of her and I am curious how she deals with the the assault that Jodi inflicted upon her as we haven’t seen that yet as the story advanced 2 years…I’m sure that might become an issue as she progresses into a relationship with Tina…Curious as to how and if you present that..But I’m along for the ride!..Thanks again BAT2012!
Bette’s assault by Jodi does come into play later in the story but not as a hindrance to having a healthy romantic/sexual relationship with Tina. Her therapy with Emma right after the attack and in the ensuing years has helped her to work through the emotional trauma.
I don’t want to give too much away (for those who haven’t read the story before) but Jodi’s psychosis will be the focus of the assault storyline when I pick it up again. I’m glad that you like my Bette. This is how I’ve always seen Bette and I usually write her with a lot of heart.
In order for this Bette and Tina coupling to work, Tina has to modify her life plans. At this point, she is physically attracted to Bette but nothing has occurred so right now it all seems so sterile, no panting, no sweating, no carnal desires have been revealed. Seems too much like an arrangement, all very platonic and business like. Looking forward to the next chapter.
azmama thank you for reading and commenting. I really appreciate your insights. Unfortunately my style of writing Bette and Tina even in a romantic story (which this one is not) does not lend to panting, sweating and carnal desires except of course during the act. Sorry if the relationship feels too intellectual or like an arrangement – not sure how else a platonic relationship should be portrayed. I said this wasn’t typical TiBette – and to me that means they can be together in the same room without being naked. However if you stick with the story there is a conversation between Bette and Tina that talks to the ‘lack of passion’.
My view when including sex in a story agrees with something Peggy said at the end of season 5 talking about Bette and Tina and Helena and Leigh Ostin playing musical partners: “… all that fu**king with no art is really rather dreary.” I hope my stories offer enough of a plot line that the sex is significant when it happens.
Who is she calling? Tina I hope
Another great chapter. Love this story. Congratulations!
