Finding their way back. Chapter 11
“Lie down, close your eyes. Tune out all the sound around you then let it go. As you inhale feel your body becoming heavy and relaxed into the bed. As you exhale let everything go. Just let it float away like a river floating away. You’re safe and you’re floating away to another place. I want you to picture yourself in the most beautiful place you can imagine.”
Bette’s soothing voice is all Dana hears now. As she follows her friend’s instructions she visibly relaxes. Her arms were stiff at her sides and her hands had been clenched into tight fists but slowly the fingers were released as she placed the palms face down on the bed. She’s visualizing that she’s surrounded by plush greenery. She’s sitting in the grass with a sundress and bare feet digging into the soil.
“Are you there?”
“I’m there.”
In her vision she lies back on the grass and she’s naked. She looks up at the clear blue sky.
“It’s so beautiful… I’m so alive … so peaceful … I’m whole and I want to stay here. Will you stay with me Bette?”
“Yeah sweetie. I’m right here.”
Finally Dana totally relaxes and falls into a restful sleep. Even though she was asleep Bette had promised to stay so she went to the window seat and relaxed her own body into the cushions and closed her eyes.
***
Bette thought about the upcoming week when she and Tina would leave for the couple’s retreat in Vermont. She wasn’t sure what would be the outcome but at the very least she hoped that their time alone would rekindle their friendship and that the open communication workshops would help them to learn how to build on that friendship to where they could become lovers and partners again if that was something they both wanted.
Bette had to admit that the separation had done the relationship some good already in that the tension between them had dissipated since she’d gotten back from the retreat and Tina’s return from Vancouver. Tina didn’t say what happened with Josh in Vancouver whether or not she’d slept with him but Bette had noticed a difference in their phone calls since then. There were less calls and the times that Bette heard Tina on the phone with Josh the conversations were stilted and all business. No longer did she hear any hint of of her wife joking or flirting or making dates to meet up with him.

Like wkm, the more I read the more i remember. They took a first step to reconcilation. But it will be a hard road.
I am happy with the repost!
A journey of hope and reconcilliation.For DANA its the struggle to stop the lashing out at LARA and recognizing it is the anger she feels because she is sick.ALICE helping LARA understand that DANA doesn’t really mean what she said even though she wants to be the one taking care of her.BETTE in order to know love you have to feel loved and in telling TINA she loves her maybe they can reconsile or at the most become friends.TINA knowing she is still in love with BETTE could be the step that gets her back to where she needs to be.great update pps thanks

BETTE /TINA realizes there is still love between them,a foundation to build on.ALICE comforts both DANA/LARA .thanks for update pps
A chapter that looks like a treaty
peace for Bette and Tina, at least, had not
no misunderstanding, and I think
Bette will suffer from the fact that Tina has
to talk about Josh, if they want to have a
new beginning, there must be sincerity.
I hope Dana stop treating Lara bad after all
she was always by his side.
The complete constellation.
How glad I am that someone finally remembers Uta Refson! I wish she could be resurrected (maybe literally) for some more TLW adventures.
Rollin’s Les Frisson des Vampires (The Shiver of Vampires, but marketed in the US under several other names) was a 1971 French very low budget, low quality movie that was primarily a vampire story used as an excuse for lots of nudity and a fake lesbian theme. There was an original soundtrack version with English subtitles and an English-dubbed version that would make your ears bleed.
The story itself is sophomoric, except sophomores by now have much better taste. A young married couple arrive in a remote French village to visit cousins who live in a medieval castle, except they are told that both cousins died the day before … and it turns out that everyone, including the cousins, is a vampire and they all want the young bride. This movie was done before any sort of pubic waxing was done in France.
