Sequel Chapter 1 – ADVENTURES in TORONTO

“That’s true.” Bette thought back on the last year and how she and Tina had become closer. More accepting of each other. Tolerant of one another in all respects. “It’s like we just stopped being angry with each other. I’m so proud of what she’s been doing with her career. I just wanted her to be happy.”
“And look how you immediately welcomed her into your inner circle with the campaign.” The Brit explained. “You allowed her to offer her input and took many of her suggestions. The old Bette wouldn’t have done that.”
“But I always valued Tina’s input.” Bette blew her cheeks out. “I guess I just never told her that as often as I should have.”
“So, keep telling her that this time.” Helena advised. “And now with the foundation, you’ve discussed everything with her right?”
“Yes, everything. We’ve talked extensively.” Bette acknowledged. “I want us to be equal partners in this and with any ideas she has for herself as well.”
“Good, good. Hold to that darling.” Helena patted Bette’s knee again. “Although she didn’t discuss with me any details, and please don’t think that I want to pump you for information.”
“I think we know each other well enough by now.” Bette took a deep breath. “To not interfere in each other’s lives unless advice is requested.”
“Precisely.” Helena nodded. “I would never come between either of you again in any manner. You are my dear friends and I value that friendship very much.”
“We do too.” Bette nodded.
“Jolly good.” Helena leant back in her seat again. “So, Tina only mentioned that you two did have an honest talk about the past and the why’s of her previous behavior. Again, she didn’t give me any details and that really is between you both. But she did say that you were very supportive, and she loved you more for it. That’s progress darling.”
“I also explained to her that I have some culpability in this too.” Bette admitted. “All these years she was suffering so much, and I never bothered to notice or offer her help.”
“I don’t think Tina’s held that against you.”
“No, no she hasn’t.” Bette frowned. “But what kind of partner was I if I couldn’t see that she was hurting or needed help?”

Hey Cathy,
Happy New Year too!!!!

Until next year & more stories & chapters!!!
Thanks
Collins
Thanks so much for the update. I remember in season 1 when Tina explained about how she met Bette and what happened at the gallery. There’s been this back and forth all these years as to did she or didn’t she actually leave the earring on purpose. You did a very good job of explaining it and it was sweet. Bette seemed to love the idea and yes, it did indeed work!!!
Lots of good moments in this chapter and looking forward to how they navigate through the beginning of the rest of their lives.
Thanks and Happy New Year!!!

Hey, I am happy to start the year with this sequel.
I love your version of the earrings thing because I’m convinced it’s the right one …
Happy New Year !
Hi Izzie,
Happy New Year too!!!
Hoping, hoping this year will be sooooo much better than 2020!!
So glad you enjoyed the earring part of the story. I believe that’s how it happened also. Tina the tease & adventurer set the stage for them. So romantic.
Stay safe & see you next time!
Thanks so much.

Hi Collins,
Happy New Year A toast for a better 2021 for you and your wife and everyone else!
What a incredible first chapter of this sequel! I am so happy you are not finished with this story and the reconcillation of our couple!
Deep talk between Bette and Helena on the plain, Helena changed from a horrible woman in a trusted friend to both Bette and Tina. They have come a long way but are now so comfortabel and good friends. Helena gave Bette great insight to how she and Dylan build up their relationship again, that they took their time and started to rebuild their trust in each other by dating, talking to each other and not jump in bed together before they knew for certain their relationship was solid. That Tina was not going to pressure Bette and would wait for Bette to be completely ready to take that last step. And Tina did reassure Bette of that again when they were ready to go to bed.
Angie, i love her, she is a smart kid and so curious. When they talked about Tina’s craving for food when she was the first time pregnant i had to cringe, that was right nasty, i quote:
“T, eating raw shrimp at the kitchen counter is not a craving or normal.” Bette informed the blonde as Angie chuckled. She made a face herself just thinking about Tina eating those concoctions. ”Especially with spicy banana peppers and kosher dill pickles.” and the crunch peanut butter sandwiches with sardines, eew….
My baby sister is pregnant and she has a craving for sweet foods at the moment and especially whipped cream cakes, i hope for her she will not get a craving for nasty food like Tina.
Loved the talk about the difference between being in love and loving someone. I think Bette and especially Tina did explain that very well to Angie. Angie is young and is curious and i am glad she feels she can ask her mothers everything. They are a amazing family.
Hmm, Jessica, why on earth would she show up at Tina’s appartement? Was she curious about Bette?, Is she having a crush on Tina? Bette wasn’t impressed with her and staked her claim.
And finally the mystery of the earring has been revealed! Have always thought that Tina had left these on purpose and am glad that it was. A good idea from Tina to give the earrings to Angie. They hold a very special value to Bette and Tina and to give them to Angie so she might find her special love too is just romantic.
I loved this first chapter! Can’t wait for the next chapter!
Hey Bibi,
You spoke on all the good parts!!!!
As you know, friendships can last a lifetime & can be some of the best relationships we have as adults. Glad that B&T can count Helena & Dylan as friends
Angie’s still finding her way in life & learning lesson on love, relationships & friendships. Her honesty & trust with her parents is refreshing & meaningful to the heart.
Congrats on the upcoming addition to your family. Nieces & nephews are terrific & your will get to enjoy him or her to the fullest. Hopefully your sister’s cravings won’t be as crazy as Tina’s!!!!
I’ve always thought that this was the true story of the night they met & the earring mystery. I’ll have to remember to have Tina present the earrings to Angie somewhere in a future chapter.
Thanks so much for reading & your insight.
All the best for a great new year!!
Collins
Thanks for this end of the year gift! Great chapter.
So nice to see Bette being friends with Helena & Dylan – everyone needs good friends who support them.
I love the dynamic of the three Porters – the love & respect they have for each other shines through in your writing. Tina & Bette have done such a terrific job at raising Angie.
Definitely loved the playfulness between them all about the ‘earring’ incident & that Angie knows most of the story of how her parents meet. And then Tina & Bette’s bander with each other was just so sweet & Tina finally confessing to the deed & leaving the earrings on purpose. Cool.
Thanks for continuing the story – I love it!
Looking forward to what else will happen in Toronto.
Hey JW,
You’re welcome to the treat!!! Wanted to get the sequel started before the year ended & continue on with the story.
The next few chapters will be set in Toronto.
Glad you enjoyed the telling of the secret mystery & their honesty with each other.
Happy New Year & wishing you the best.
Thanks
Collins
