    The pulpit was overflowing with an array of flowers and plants. Chief among them were white lilies, which had been Sidney’s favorite and the subject of a few of her paintings. Sidney had already been cremated and her remains were now sitting in a beautifully hand-crafted silver urn, decorated with blue topaz and bits of iridescent pearl. The work had been a gift by one of their metal-working friends and now it stood in the center of a table at the front of the church. On either side was a large photo of Sidney and the plaque memorializing her organ donations.

    Bette stared at the large, smiling portrait of Sidney. It was her ex-wife’s professional photo. Sidney wore a brilliant smile that reached all the way up to her dark blue eyes. There had been so much more life left to live for this woman and now all of that future had been extinguished. Bette could hear Jack talking, but he seemed very far away. The timbre of his voice was loving and kind and when people started to clap politely, she shook her head again to refocus her gaze and her thoughts.

    Jack was smiling at her and looking at her expectantly. The warm hand on her back rubbed gently and then Bette knew it was time. As the applause began to wind down, the sound of her heels on the old, glazed ceramic tiles began to filter through the large room with its stained-glass windows and high, steepled ceiling. She wore a soft blue dress with a black jacket; her dark curls long and free, but tamed, falling down beyond her shoulders.

    When she hugged her ex-wife’s brother, they seemed to hold on to each other for strength. Bette swallowed a sob and as he walked away, there were tears glistening on his masculine face. She placed her speech on the podium and adjusted the microphone down to her mouth before looking out at the sea of diverse mourners. She felt shaky inside and this was one of those moments where she began to crave a drink or a bump to calm her nerves.

    But then her gaze landed on the encouraging, hazel orbs that gave her strength and exuded love. Tina nodded at her and smiled and just like that, Bette was calm once again.

    1. Thank you for the chapter!

      So, Tina’s work is still in suspended, interesting how it could be solved.

      And Bette – sometimes she still little girl when she close to her father. Good that Tina was there to protect her.

    2. Thank you, MTS, you definitely found the perfect solution for Tina. Be there for Bette. Everything else can wait. And she needed Tina so much. Loved how in the church Bette’s eyes were looking for Tina’s to find strength there.

      I’m curious to see what will change for Bette now that she found closure. Will she be more sure of Tina’s love? Will she be able to make serious plans for their future?

      And then – drum roll – Jedi Master Tina strikes again: points for giving Melvin a roasting! I’m sure he didn’t know what hit him. Melvin, that sorry excuse for a father. I love it when Protective-Alpha-Tina comes out to play.

      Thank you for that second posting, MTS. You’ve taken good care of B + T in this crucial moment of their relationship. Now I can put my mind to rest, leave Tina and Bette alone for the night and go to sleep ;-)

      Enjoy your Sunday, stay safe

    3. Thanks for returning quickly for this and also for writing a chapter where I am able to hate Melvin once more! Keep reading stories where he’s nice,

      Seriously thank you for continuing with this story and can I request that Tina now kicks some ass!

      Stay safe

    4. Tina chose Bette over work….excellent. My bets are that David will not fire her. He definitely has too much to lose.

      I cannot believe that Melvin was such an asshole. Does he not know that addiction is a disease not a weakness. They fact is that the real strength comes in the form of resisting that what you are addicted to when every fiber of your being is telling you to partake. And the fact is that the tendency to be an addict is inherited.. Since Bette and Kit share the same father but not the same mom, it would lead one to believe that Melvin is responsible for their addiction in that he pass the gene to them. He should be proud of his daughters in that they have faced their addiction and have taken steps not to be controlled by it. Chastising his adult daughter does not help anyone.

      Thanks for this chapter…. I want to see how David responds on Monday morning.

      Look forward to more…..

      • Melvin is definitely a rigid man who greatly lacks emotional intelligence. And you are right…the apple of addiction usually doesn’t fall too far from the addict-apple-tree.

        Looking forward to see if Tina’s boss will chill out.

    5. Wow lots of 0f ups and downs in last few chapters. Sounds like Kit’s mom had the best voice of soothing. Tina was protective but I feel Tina should have came earlier or Bette should have walked out the second she heard his tone change.. Great chapter thank you.

      • BnT! Yes…Kit’s mom is a calming voice of reason. She’s had many years to try and sugar coat Melvin’s BS for her daughter. So she’s the mistress of good news and soft landings. (just made those words up together…i hope it sounds good).

        And yes…Bette should have walked out or at least, defended herself. But that’s what happens a lot in toxic parent-child relationships. People revert. Or even if they’re not toxic.

        Like…I’m a grown ass woman…but I’m home with my family on Easter…I’m getting an Easter basket.

        • So she’s the mistress of good news and soft landings.
          Nice!.. lol I believe mistress have soft landings lol but not all have good news ????????????

          Easter basket huh.. you like that chocolate bunny?.. your like my daughter still wishes for all those little things from childhood. There soothing. I dont really reminder any comfy things from childhood to really want now. But I’m glad my daughter does. Thank you and stay safe my friend.
