“Hey Dane, hope you don’t mind, I thought you’d be up and could use some company.” Bette said as she handed Dana a coffee.
“No problem at all, Bette.” Dana stammered, still a bit taken aback by the visit, “But what are you doing up at this hour? Is everything ok?”
“Everything’s fine. I just dropped Cara off by Julia’s and though of you.” Bette smiled proudly, “She’s hell of a kid, isn’t she? She’s beautiful.”
“She really is, a little cutie.”
“I’m really glad Tina is going to stay in LA for a while. I’m glad I’ll finally be getting a chance to know her.”
“She’s a great little girl, Bette.”
Dana led Bette into the living room and took a seat on the couch.
“I hope you don’t mind, but Julia filled me in on some of what happened in DC.”
“Oh” was all that Dana could reply, she hadn’t expected Julia to relay their conversation to anyone.
“She didn’t really say much other than the highlights of the last couple of days. She thought you could use a friend.”
“Oh.” Dana replied again.
“You know Dana, if anyone can understand a little bit of what you’re going through, it’s me.” Bette said with reserve, not sure how Dana would take the comparison.
“Bette, thank you for trying, but it isn’t the same thing. You didn’t just cheat, you kept cheating.” Dana wasn’t ready to put herself into the same place where Bette was, even if was where she should be.
“Dana, don’t fool yourself. “ Bette replied sadly, “Trust me, the staying might have been a problem, but it was the betrayal that Tina never forgave.”
Dana lifted her eyes and looked quickly at Bette, before averting her eyes again. In a barely audible tine she said, “I know Bette, I know.”
“Well Dana, if you know, what are you going to do about it? Sitting here, feeling sorry about it, isn’t helping. What’s your plan?”
“I don’t know. I don’t have a plan. I mean what is there to plan? She asked for space, I ‘m giving her space. What else is there?”
“You can be ready when she comes to you. You can know what you want to say, and it has to be more than I love you, I’m sorry.”

I am so excited to see a new chapter from you, lucia!! I love how you explain about Dana and the expectations. That really sums her up well. Bette did a good job getting Dana out of her rut. I am glad that Alice is planning on giving her and Dana a shot. I think they are poised to work through this and get on with their life together. Thank you!!
This is the best excuse why I stay up tonight, “Drowning” is back. Thank you so much Lucia for your dedication. I am still rooting for T & Julia. Glad to see T finally figured it out. Excellent development. As for D, she really needed to dig deeper to find her confidence as suggested by B. Good news was that A wanted to go home. Sadly though she had to learn the lesson from T’s sorrow. I am optimistic that she would work things out with D and Danish would live happily ever after. I would hate to see this story ends because it is fantastic and truly well written. Salute, Lucia!!
Nice parallel between the two love stories, passed and present. A love lost and a love that could be regained. As much as my Tibetter heart will always want a B&T reunion, you are convincing me that what’s past is not always prologue. Thanks.
