Tina wiped at her eyes.
“You okay?” asked Kit.
Tina nodded. “I’m fine. I just…I drove here from my mother’s house.”
The dark brown eyes seemed surprised. “You did? How was it? From the looks of things, it didn’t go too well.”
“Honestly, it went better than expected. I want nothing to do with any of them. My mother, father or my sister. I’ve told them as much. My sister went to Bette’s gallery the other day. She wanted Bette to talk me into seeing my family.”
“She did that? What did Bette do?” asked Kit.
Tina smiled softly, remembering Bette’s words. “She told her that I was a whole person and that I would not accept their conditional love. That she would never violate my trust.”
Kit winked. “That sounds like Baby Girl.”
Tina chuckled. “I was impressed.”
“But you still went to see them?”
“Oh yes. I did. I went to tell them never to so much as look in Bette’s direction. Kaitlyn had no right to try and get to me through Bette. She crossed a line. And I let her know it.”
“Well damn.”
“Yes. And before it was all over, my mother was damning me to hell,” said Tina.
Kit shook her head. “You don’t really believe that, do you?”
Tina shrugged. “I don’t know what I believe. But it still hurts,” she said, wiping away more tears.
Kit pulled her into a warm hug and Tina sobbed quietly, letting the pain of her mother’s rejection dissipate. “I don’t know why it bothers me so much. It shouldn’t hurt me, but it does.”
They separated and Kit gave her a reassuring smile. “We all want our parents to love us. Of course, it hurts. We never grow out of needing their approval. It’s always been the same with me and Melvin.”
Tina sighed. “How did you move forward?”
Kit grinned. “Now you don’t want my method. Mine was purely spite. I wanted to show that man that I didn’t need him or anything from him to make my way in the world. I built my life and career all without him. And I did a pretty good job of it.”
The smile faltered and Kit continued. “But with the accident and losing Sid, it’s made me realize how hollow all of that is. I need my family. That includes Melvin and now it includes you.”

No need in name calling now MTS “creeping random gents” lol.. JK. And I did not Tech-shamed you. .. You already had it and I just open the blinds Ok I’ll go read now. I like it when Tina is feisty. at least its and R which means it going to lead up to something Right?
I’m literally laughing out loud. And you did Tech-Shame me. But it’s okay. i don’t bruise easy.
Ok I do admit I had one question and you fixed it. But I couldn’t help it when I saw it .. You cracked me up. I’m not one to pass up a sarcastic moment.. So glad you don’t bruise easily.
Good Chapter….. I think that I would have pointed out that if that car accident had happened the way Dad planned it, that it could have been Tina who was dead and Bette in rehab. Would it have made any difference that dear old dad killed his daughter to save her from a sinful life? And why would he kill Henry? What is the justification for killing Henry?
I still cannot see why a fear of “messing up” Dylan would have kept Kit from seeing her son. He may not have needed therapy had he seen that she was no longer in a comma but gradually getting better. Six months is a long time to keep a child away especially when there is no real reason to do so. People do better dealing with what is, than what their imagination brings about. He had already seen her at her absolute worst, so seeing her on the mend would only be a positive. So they will finally be reunited. Hooray!
Thanks for this chapter.. Look forward to more.
Thanks for the feisty Tina!
Nice chapter, love Kit.
Stay safe and post again soo, please
SG
Oh well Not R I was looking for but good all the same. Brought back some old thoughts for me. but Chapter was good. I’m glad Kit is doing better and ready to see her son. Thank you.
Thank you for this chapter!
I don’t agree with Tina about her family – yeah, with her hypocritical mother she is definitely not ready to make a peace, but with her sister? I don’t know but seems that they could find some common ground. If her sister will accept Tina’s relationship – maybe Tina could give her another chance.
And i agree – time for Dylan to see his mother
Hi MTS,
I can’t hide anymore, especially after your request to be friends with me ????
I have read this story from the beginning and it is fantastic. I still have to catch up with the other stories.
Thank you!
I like this determined and no-nonsense Tina, eh, Chris. Straight to the point, out with the truth.
I don’t know what reality Sis Kait and Ma Kennard live in. But if even this terrible crime commited by Pa Kennard isn’t enough to at least change their tune to “live and let live” and be ashamed of what he did to Tina and the people in her life, Tina shouldn’t waste another word.
Kaitlyn might be irritated by her mother’s religious tunes but she also dismisses Tina’s love for women as something like a pastime. I think I remember some strange comments from Kaitlyn at a family dinner (in your last book).
Anyway I don’t believe that she wants to spend time with Tina. She only wants to make sure that the money from the family business keeps coming.
Great moment at the hospital with Kit. I’d say it did wonders to both Kit and Tina. Looking forward to Dylan’s visit to his mother.
Now I’m anxiously waiting for Tina to return home to Bette and tell her about both meetings.
Thank you for posting!
Hey Kiwi…stop reading my thoughts!! Tina returning home to Bette is exactly the focus of the next chapter!
And I agree. Sometimes you have to cut off those people that drain your joy. You might mend things later, but people should heal first.
I died at “creeping random gents” LOL
Lol! I think that dude from Italy is still on here. He might now be a different screen name and pic. Like damn…is nothing sacred? ????????????????????️????
