    Forged in Fire: Chapter 8

    Tina smiled. “It feels amazing to be included.”

    “Hey, do you mind taking a walk with me?”

    The hazel eyes shone in surprise. “You can walk?”

    Kit chuckled. “Yes, I can. I have physical therapy every day. It’s good for me to get up and about. Get my muscles moving. Right now, I use a walker to help steady me…just in case.”

    As they walked around an indoor track with a view of the outside, Tina studied Kit’s movements. “You look strong, Kit. I was so worried.”

    The elder Porter grunted a little as she walked, but she kept going. “It hasn’t been easy. But I have too many people counting on me not to move forward.”

    “Do you remember anything about when you were in the coma?” asked Tina.

    Kit thought back to that time. “Not really. I just remember talking to Sidney and leaving the house. The next thing I remember is waking up in the hospital. It was surreal.”

    “At first the doctor thought you might be out for a few weeks. But that changed when they saw the extent of the swelling in your brain. We didn’t know what would happen. They kept extending the medical coma. Dylan started having nightmares. So, we stopped his visits. It seemed to help. But now, it’s different.”

    Kit nodded as she plodded along. “You’re right.”

    “I’ll bring him tomorrow. Is that okay?” asked Tina.

    “Yes, please.”

    They continued their journey around the circle. “Tina, you know what I was talking to Sidney about that day? The day of the accident?” asked Kit.

    “What?” asked Tina.

    Kit smiled. “You.”

    “Me?”

    “Yep. We got the call about the gallery being broken into. So she and I left to go check it out. When we left the house, she saw your car and it kind of startled her. I was telling her that you were good for Bette. That seemed to put her at ease,” said Kit.

    Tina smiled. “Really?”

    “Really.”

    Tina rubbed Kit’s arm. “That’s what I want. For her and me both. To be good for each other.”

    “Well, you know what I want?” asked Kit.

    “What is that?”

    “I want to meet one of those super fine leading men you have exclusive access to,” said Kit.

    The pair laughed and continued their walk around the indoor track.

    1. 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?

    2. 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.

    3. 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

    4. 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!

    5. 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.
