    “Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That’s what Liz said too. Leave James to me. Trust me, he will not be going to Vancouver next week.”

    “What are you going to do, Al?” Shane asked nervously.

    “Oh, calm your tits. I’m not going to do anything to hurt him.” Alice scoffed.

    Alice told them her plan as they ate pizza and kept an eye on Bette.

    “I’m going to do it at Sunday dinner.”

    “Surprisingly, I’m in awe of you right now,” Shane said.

    “Yeah…me too.”

    “I don’t know why this is so surprising to either of you. I’m a fucking genius,” Alice smiled.

    They were laughing when Bette emerged from the pool.

    “Hey Al. Hey Dana. When did you get here?” Bette said out of breath.

    “About an hour ago,” Dana said.

    “We were about to fucking jump in to get you,” Alice laughed.

    “Well, it’s a good thing I’m done now. Isn’t it?”

    “Feel better?” Shane asked.

    “Loads. I haven’t been in the pool since I’ve been back. I needed it.”

    “Whaaaat? Why not? I’ve never known you to go more than a couple of days without swimming.”

    “Been busy with work, the garden and eating every three hours,” Bette smirked at Shane.

    Shank winked at Bette.

    Alice and Dana looked at them dumbfoundedly.

    “What were y’all laughing at when I got out of the pool? What’s so funny?” Bette asked.

    Shane, Dana and Alice exchanged looks.

    “Nothing,” they said in unison.

    “I don’t believe any of you. You bunch of liars,” Bette squinched her nose at the group. “But thanks for being here and letting me think through some things.”

    “What were you thinking through?” Dana asked.

    They all stared at Dana.

    “What? What’d I say? Is there something on my face?”

    They broke out into laughter and Bette grabbed the paper bag Shane brought. Bette smiled as she pulled out the roasted veggie Panini, a side of pasta salad and several pickles. Bette moved the pickles out of reach as she noticed all three of them about to pounce.

    They spent the rest of the evening laughing and talking and listening to Alice spill all of the latest MILK gossip. It was just what Bette’s soul needed and she made a decision.

    Bette sent Tina a text after everyone left. Her fingers were shaking as she typed.

    1. Seems like the swim helped Bette clear her head. I’m glad she’s got such a great group of friends. I really like Bette’s message to Tina. Kind of a breakthrough. I especially like that she mentioned about eating and interjected some humor. Very touching and sweet. Bette is reaching out. Progress, right? Now Tina needs to take Julia’s advice. With sex like you have written I can understand it might be difficult.On the other hand, Bette is having some pretty hot flashbacks. Hope the plan works. Very good chapter. More please. Billy

      • Thank you! Yes, a little progress on Bette’s part. She is so hurt and doesn’t know how to resolve it. But I think Tina’s messages are softening her and working in the garden is helping as well. I love the group of friends too. They always rally when one of them is in need. So beautiful.

      • Si. Esa es una excelente manera de decirlo. ‘Su alma todavía está herida’. Y ella no sabe cómo avanzar. Sabe que ama a Tina y la quiere en su vida, pero está asustada. Me encanta escribir este viaje. Gracias por leer.

    2. Thank you for the revisions… .This is a very good chapter… I believe Julie is giving Tina some excellent advice. Tina’s choices of taking this job in Vancouver and leaving town immediately without having a conversation with Bette has litterally put them where they are.

      Bette is really dealing with the cards she has been dealt rather well. She is fortunate to have the support team she has to keep her eating and to keep an eye on her during this time of stress. Her choice of swimming to release stress is a good one.

      I know Tina really cares about Bette, however, I hope she sees that sometimes her impromptu decisions sometime gets her more than what she bargained for. Getting time out of town definitively means time away from Bette and when it turns from a week or two into several weeks when the relationship is on the rocks could result in a permenant split. And in this case, Bill would like for Tina to move to Vancouver permanently. Fortunately, this was not what Tina wants for her life. If Tina wants Bette back, she still has to do a lot more work.

      Whatever plan Kiki and the gang have in mind, I hope it works. I hope that both Bette and Tina learn their lesson that they need to do what they can and need to do to provide time for each other no matter how hectic and chaotic life becomes. And most of all, I hope they both learn to get all the information available before making life altering decisions such as moving out and taking jobs in other cities.

      Very nice chapter…. thanks you…

      • You’re welcome. Thank you for your feedback. I love how angsty this story is and how Bette is dealing with the loss of Tina. Bette feels so deeply. It’s nice watching her navigate through her feelings. She always plays the part of being in control. I love seeing her out of control but dealing with it in a healthier way. The support system is huge.

        You’re right. Tina absolutely cares for and loves Bette. And she absolutely has a lot of work to do to win Bette back. I’m glad we are getting to see this process.

        Stay tuned. Part of the plan unfolds in the next chapter.
