    Author Notes:

    The way we play this game.

    Thoughts of the real world turned Tina’s attention back to her job. The job that she had worked so hard to get, the job that had meant more to her than anything at one point in her life. Then she met Bette. Nothing could have prepared her for that. Even now, looking back on it, it didn’t seem real for Tina. How could she have fallen so hard so fast, and for a woman? Eric didn’t believe her when she told him, and it barely seemed true for her, but Tina learnt one of life’s great lessons in those few short weeks, she learnt that the heart knows what it wants, and sometimes you just have to trust it to lead you where you’re supposed to be, even if it’s the last place you thought you would end up.

    But what was she going to do about her job? She no longer felt the same way that she did all those years ago. Tina felt disillusioned with everything that going to her job entailed. She wished for something more, something more rewarding that the daily grind. Maybe what she needed was to get out of the movie business all together. Try something new, a different challenge. Something that made her feel alive again. She wished that she still had the passion that Bette had for her work. How Tina loved to see Bette all fired up about an exhibition that she was mounting, and how she loved how Bette’s passion for art transferred into passion for her.

    The problem was that she already knew the thing that would make her feel more alive than anything. Now all she had to do was convince Bette that it was what they should be doing. As Tina looked up at the moon she remembered feeling like she was giving up the life that she thought she knew when she fell in love with Bette, only to have it all repaid to her in measures that sometimes overwhelmed her. The love, the patience, the security that Bette gave her in those early months when Tina was in a constant state of flux, while she figured out what it all meant for them to be together were beyond what anyone had ever showed her before. Thinking back to the days when Bette would just hold her, late into the night, telling her that she understood, that she would wait, that she’d never felt this way before about anyone. Tina could feel the tears welling up in her eyes, while her heart yearned for a simpler time.

    3. I love this story CG. And yes Tina,tell Bette what’s going on. All of it. Don’t hold anything back from her. Besides,she’ll love you no matter what! I hope they talk about these issues. Bette reminding Tina of melvin in scary indeed,but i kinda love that about Bette sometimes!

    4. Yikes, Bette really needs to work on those Melvinish tendencies! Particularly in the parent role, if it is to be. We often turn into our parents, but as self-aware grown-ups, it isn’t inevitable that we repeat the things we resented in them. And yeah, Tina deserves better than to be subjected to authoritarianism from her partner. Oh please, pretty please, may they work these things out.

    5. Love it mate! Like how you brought the other point of view – the thoughts behind how the sandwich and bottle of water ended up in the fridge with the note!

    6. thanks for giving us Tina’s POV. You’ve given us another spin on things with Tina’s willingness to quit her job. A lot of times it has been said that Tina was forced into it but i’m glad you gave us another perspective. Please post soon :)

    11. The ladies need to communicate…and spend less time at those jobs…shoot those jobs will be there tomorrow…but will the relationship? Your writing is so powerful…it really shows us their feelings. I like the way you go back both of them remembering good times. Keep posting.

    12. Your writing about the depth of emotion and need and sense of giving yourself to love is very amazing and I love the back view of this couple’s early years- their path to when we met them on TV. Again your words and rhythm of story is so so beyond wonderful.
