    “Good morning” she said and Angie turned excitedly, “Mama T!” she came over to hug her mom, even now as affectionate and happy as she was when she was two.

    Bette looked nervous, anxious even as she turned to put eggs on a plate next to some toast and hand it to Tina with a shy smile. Tina accepted the plate, noticing with a pang that Bette had scrambled two eggs for her exactly the way she liked them, a few slices of avocado laid neatly next to the toast. Bette and Angie had their eggs sunny side up. Tina was oddly touched by this and fumbled for a seat, as Bette set coffee down for her, again just the way she liked it. Had she stopped noticing that Bette did these little things?

    Her Soul lifted it’s head, Reason beginning to stir. But the Heart, the Heart wanted to stay hurt and began to run again.

    They made small talk, Angie beaming at the two people she loved most in the world and for one hour she could pretend this was how it always was. After she left for school, Tina let Bette know she had some work to do and they planned to meet Shane and Alice for lunch, Bette putting the dishes away with a shoo of her hands, she didn’t want Tina helping.

    There was no talk of the night before, of the hug that wouldn’t, couldn’t end, of the tears shed in the bedroom.

    ***

    The next night…

    … had been a complete and utter disaster. Telling Bette about her engagement had created this hallow pit in Tina’s stomach that she wanted to fall into.

    She had watched as Bette had first reached for her empty wine glass, then the empty wine bottle in quick succession… her hands needing to stay busy so that her mind could absorb the words Tina had spoken. The words that fell on her ears holding tiny swords that cut Bette’s already broken heart into even smaller pieces.

    It was like Tina had handed Bette a beautiful present that she treasured, only when she opened it, it turned to ash in her hands. And she was so aching beautiful that Tina could only gape at her, watch speechless as Bette first congratulated her with a heartbreaking smile then stood to get more wine from the kitchen. Reason collapsing on the ground, defeated.

    1. I was worried that Heart would win over Soul but you put things right. A very hopeful ending.
      Divorce and engagement seems logical for Tina. I’m happy that Angie’s reaction helped Tina’s heart to make its way back to her soul.

      Thanks for sharing!

    4. “Anything. All you have to do is ask…” that is where Bette has been the entire relationship with Tina. Tina has always been controversy adverse and bottled up her anger, thoughts and goals believing that Bette should just automatically know what she wants or needs. And when it gets too much, she has always fled the situation rather than stand and request, demand, negotiate and cajole Bette to help her fill her needs. As this story says: it’s how she has handled her problems since she was a child – flee rather than fight. It’s the easier route even if it breaks your heart and the heart of those you love.

      And Carrie is beginning her relationship with Tina by making demands of her own. Even though it is understandable that Carrie wants Bette and Angie to know of their upcoming marriage as soon as possible, she is oblivious of Tina’s need to handle things as she sees appropropriate for her ex wife and child. In this story, Carrie is not being the supportive finance’ but a self-indulgent individual without a clue as to Tina’s perception of the how to handle the news.

      I found it nice that Angie decided that her Mama B’s well being became her top priority for the moment when she heard the news. She basically had no response for herself but immediately knew how this would be so devastating for Bette. Angie knew instinctively that this news would be a rerun of the divorce and as hurtful as the death of Kit. And seeing the surprise that Tina sees in Angie’s behavior is nothing to the obliviousness that she has to the fact that Angie is so aware of Bette’s devastating heart-break.

      Tina at this point is responding to guilt of devastating Bette and by association, Angie. Is Bette and Angie as a family really what she wants? Is she self aware enough and committed enough to do the work it will take to make Bette aware of her own needs and demands for career and personal fulfillment? Bette has always been willing to give Tina what she wants, but she cannot give her what she doesn’t ask for. In the end, this is only a first step in a million mile march to being happily together.

      In another story, there was a saying which I found profound : People treat you as you allow them to treat you. This is particularly true of Tina and Bette with each other.

      This story is really a good story. This is not the end but the beginning to a truly remarkable storyline. Thank you for writing this. I really enjoyed it.

        I so appreciate your thoughtful, detailed analysis of my stories – and others. You are so spot on and clearly pay attention to every detail and nuance of the story. I was trying to show the internal struggle within Tina that pushes and pulls at her when she is in conflict
        I remember that quote you referenced about people treating you the way you allow, it is so true and very apt for our Tina who marinates in her resentment.

        For some reason it did not post some of the ending so I guess I could continue it although that wasnt the plan. Might be nice to work on a story before they ruin it for Season 2 lol.

        Thanks!
