    Summary:
    Chapter 3

    “I was naive.”

    “You were twenty-three and in love. There’s a difference.”

    Tina was quiet for a moment, then turned to face Bette fully. “He was right, you know. About what he said.”

    “About what?”

    “About me being in love with you.” Tina’s voice was barely above a whisper. “I was. I am.”

    Bette felt her breath catch. “Tina…”

    “I know. I know we’re not there yet. I know you’re not ready to hear this. But after what just happened, after what he said, I can’t pretend anymore. I can’t keep lying, even to myself.”

    “You’re not lying to yourself. You’re processing trauma. You’re vulnerable and hurt, and I’m the person who came to help you. It’s natural to feel…”

    “Don’t,” Tina said firmly. “Don’t diminish this. Don’t tell me what I’m feeling isn’t real.”

    “I’m not trying to diminish anything. I’m trying to protect both of us from making decisions based on crisis and emotion.”

    “Is that what you think this is? A crisis decision?”

    Bette stood up, moving to the window. “I think you just had your entire life turned upside down. I think you found out your marriage was a lie, that the father of your child has been living a double life. I think you’re scared and hurt and looking for something stable to hold onto.”

    “And you think that something is you.” Tina said matter-of-factly

    “I think I’m familiar. I think I represent safety and comfort and better times. But Tina, I’m not the same person I was ten years ago. You’re not either. We can’t just pick up where we left off.”

    “I’m not asking to pick up where we left off,” Tina said, standing as well. “I’m asking you to consider that maybe, just maybe, what I felt for you then was real. And what I feel for you now is real too.”

    “How can you know that? How can you be sure you’re not just running from one relationship to another?”

    “Because I’ve spent ten years comparing every feeling I had to what I felt for you,” Tina said, her voice getting stronger. “Because even when I was with Darren, even when I was trying to convince myself I was happy, there was always a part of me that knew it wasn’t the same. It wasn’t what I felt when I looked at you.”

    1. I love Carson and i hate Darren.

      Bette is afraid, hurt and fearful, i hope she will lower the walls around her heart sometime in the future. Tina has to prove she is serieus in both heart and words but the most important thing for now is to get things resolved and i think Helena will be the best to help her.
