    Prologue—Choices and Consequences

    Dear Lauren and Edwin,

    I want to begin by thanking you for being so loving and nurturing to me after the death of my parents.  I was so lucky to have such a good support system whenever I needed advice or just simple words of encouragement.  I know it came from the goodness of your hearts and not out of some sort of obligation you felt to my parents.  I can never thank you enough or even begin to repay you for all that you have done for me over the years.

    This is why it’s so hard for me to write this letter to you and maybe I’m taking the coward’s way out by not doing this in person because honestly you deserve it but I simply can’t.  It’s too much of a painful reminder of what I lost and I’m trying to heal so writing is my only means to actually carry out my reason for even writing this letter in the first place.

    I’ve been accepted into a prestigious law school and will have left to attend by the time you read this.  I did not inform Tina of my decision before our falling out that I planned to attend.  I was going to wait till after her wedding to inform her but now that’s not necessary as I’m sure she will not care at this point what I do or where I go.  With that being said I do not plan to return to California.  I have no reason to stay.  Yes I have my Aunt Rose and Uncle Clinton and Jaylyn but I have nothing tethering me here.  And to be honest I can’t be here with all the memories.  The good… the bad ….and….the ugly

    I also feel I should apologize to you both about the impact of mine and Tina’s falling out.  Although I’m not apologizing about my reservations of her marrying Darren.  It’s no secret how I feel about him but Tina is so blinded by her love for him she can not see the person for who he truly is.  And I couldn’t stand by and not say something to her which therefore began the downward spiral and ending of my most precious relationship.  Did I overstep..Absolutely.  Do I regret it..Never…Even though it cost me the one person I can’t live without I have no choice but to do just that. Live without her. But I do apologize for any pain I have caused the both of you. I was only coming from a place of love so please remember that.  I only want Tina’s happiness.  Even though I don’t trust Darren at all and I have my reasons why I never wanted to hurt Tina.  I was only looking out for her best interests and in doing that I lost her. And I would do it all over again as I don’t trust Darren.  He will break her heart but I know she has the best support system imaginable in you two when that time happens.  Yes I said when.  Not if.  Because it will.

    1. What a great beginning and it tore my heart out, a friendship ruined because a man who cheated on Tina from the beginning it seems and she can’t see it and throws Bette away. Very painful.

      And now 10 years have passed, Tina having a son, her only reason for joy in her life. Finally she catched her cheating lying husband and cries out for Bette, to apologize to her.

      Bette promised in her letter to the Kennards to reach out to her via her cousin if they ever need her. I think her cousin is right, Tina did/do loves Bette as more as a friend and being scared probably projected it to Darren falsely with as result the ending of their friendship.

      I’m looking forward how things are going to develop.

    2. Very interesting story. With 20 yrs friendship why didn’t Bette tell Tina about her feelings. Now Tina will probably get divorced and want to resume her friendship with Bette again except Tina is in California and Bette is in NY. Can’t wait for the next chapters. Please don’t abandon the story. Happy Writing

    3. What Tina needs right now is a good lawyer to start the divorce process. Tina needs to get everything out of this marriage including child support and most of the assets. If Darren has had a marriage ceremony performed with Emily, he may very well have committed the crime of bigamy. I wonder if Emily knows about this. He very well could be giving the residual of his assets to her and walk away with nothing. Friend who hung up knew something about this relationship and may need to appear as a witness. Anyway, Tina needs a tough, no holds barred lawyer. And that is what Bette practices in. Since it takes forever in California, I would recommend she move to New York were a divorce would be easier to obtain. And visitation arrangements will be harder to manage for dear Darren.

      I am going to wait and see how Tina handles this apology. Is this something just to relieve her own guilt or is this something more? Could it develop into something more? But Bette is right, after 10 years of no association with each other, they are different people. And of course, to me the key is Carson. If Carson takes to Bette, the path forward will be easier. But if he wants to be his mom’s sole attention, well things could get rough. Of course, we need to find out how Bette feels about children as well. This may not be anything that she has ever considered. At this point, Tina and Carson are a package deal. You don’t get one without the other. This may take some time.

      Great first chapter… lots of potential for this story. Thanks for writing… I hope to see a lot more.

    5. Wow. What a start to this story. Jaylyn is right, Tina is in love with Bette, too. This is a good, interesting story and I look forward to seeing how it develops.

    7. Oh, that letter Bette (you) wrote is sooooo freaking good. I completely understand Bette’s first No to calling Tina, I’d do the same, but later…of course, Yes.

      P.S. I waited for a few chapters to pile up because I knew I’d get antsy and addicted.

      Thank you.
