    Driving – Chapter 26

    Bette
    remembered the sudden eruption of anger from Tina that had sent her walking.

    You
    hadnt planned on that though.

    No.

    Both
    women were silent for a while.  Bette
    took little bites of her sandwich, despite her hunger, and Tina just sat and
    looked straight ahead.  Finally, Tina
    broke the silence.

    When
    I came up here with my mother, it really helped me.  I gave me perspective and its just a restful place.

    Bette
    nodded.  Im glad.  Im really happy you asked me to come here
    with you today.

    Tina
    looked at her. 

    Im
    enjoying it so much, T.

    Tina
    was pleased.

    Aside
    from your lunch, what else are you enjoying?

    Bette
    smiled.  Being here, with you.

    Tina
    picked a blade of grass and wove it between her fingers.

    We
    havent been away together in a long time, she said quietly.

    No
    we havent.

    Another
    silence as each of them followed their own thoughts.

    Bette
    turned her head toward Tina.  I want to
    make it up to you.

    Tina
    looked in Bettes eyes.  She shrugged.

    Things
    need to be different, Tinas voice trailed off.

    They
    will be.  I promise they will be.

    Tina
    sighed, Dont promise anything to me now.

    Why?

    Because
    Im not ready to believe you.

    Bette
    was hurt, but she tried not to show how much.

    Tina
    spoke again. I thinkwe both need to be different, and I dont know if we can
    do that.

    Of
    course we can, T, if we both want to.

    Tina
    just looked at her.

    You
    dont want to throw away our life together do you?

    No,
    Bette, but I dont want to live in the shadow of it either.

    They
    grew quiet.  Tina lay back on her elbows
    and felt a small pang of regret that their conversation had turned
    harsher.  She looked up at the sky.  It was clear blue above them.  She looked out again at the view that
    inspired her.  She wanted to feel the
    serenity of the place and bring it to this space between them.

    She
    looked at Bette, who was still cradling her lunch in her lap like a
    treasure.  She had to smile.   Tina didnt know what to say and could only
    think of the tritest phrases.  She said
    one anyway.  A step at a time.

    Bette
    looked at her with a soft gaze, so grateful that she had said something that
    broke the tension.  She nodded.

    A
    few moments later, Tina sat up.  Hey,
    are you gonna eat that brownie?

    Bettes
    eyes sparkled, Every bite.

    2. Hello Massmom, what a thrill to see you up again. I enjoyed these back-to-back chapters. I will catch the next chapter wen you bring it to us. Excellent job.

    3. Hey Massmom!

      Good to see your name again. Can I personally nominate this story for a fan fiction award? You were sorely overlooked the last time!

      This part caused my stomach to drop:

      Tina sighed, “Don’t promise anything to me now.”

      “Why?”

      “Because I’m not ready to believe you.”

      But the chocolate kisses returned me to gastronomic balance!

      Thanks so much for breaking through the block! Your fans will wait for quality writing.

    4. Wow the innocence on the surface and then deep anxiety in the undercurrent you play them well as you move through these sweet well written stories. Thanks so much for the holiday light show.
