    Author Notes:

    Chapter 51 – Everything I Had Hoped For

    Still smiling she lightly caressed Bettes cheek Would you like your wine?

    Bette smiled and knew in her soul that Tina was right she needed to move beyond any fears or jealousies of the past. Taking a deep cleansing breath of her own to clear her mind, she also smiles Sure.

    At that Tina goes to the table and retrieves the wine glasses and brings them out for Bette, handing the glass over, Tina holds hers up for a toast To new beginnings and old loves.

    Yes new beginnings and old loves. Bette agrees quickly and they toast and both take a sip of the wine. Hey this is good. Bette says trying on her part to lighten the mood.

    I hope you like the menu, I had to pick it out before hand and well I hope your tastes havent changed too dramatically. Tina says.

    At this Bette just says No Im sure you have chosen the perfect menu. But she was really is thinking no my tastes have not changed at all I still want you.

    The appetizers were then served followed by the main course. Tina had been uncertain as to which of the specialty dishes to order so shed gotten something different for each of them thinking they could share. The dish she picks for Bette consisted of Salmon Carpaccio and the Colors of Spring which were amazing slivers of salmon spread around the plate mimicking the sunset which was off set with spring vegetables. For herself the house specialty Red Wine Risotto Scented with Port and Black Truffles. As the plates were presented Tina confesses to Bette Bette I wasnt entirely sure what would be best to order so I got us each something different. What do you think about sharing? As Tina is saying this a twinkle appeared in Bettes eyes as she likes the idea.

    I think we need to move your place setting closer to mine if we dont want to make a mess of your beautiful dress. Bette says in a teasing tone.

    Loving the suggestion Tina gets up and moves her chair and place setting so her shoulder will be touching Bettes. Sitting back down she just takes a moment to enjoy the surrounding, Bette to her left the beautiful colorful sky, fading but still beautiful and the wonderful food creations in front of them. This was a happy moment that Tina had hoped for when she had set this evening up.

    1. JWET, GREAT chapter. The dinner sounds fantastic, I could smell the different dishes from here. And that ‘sinful’ dessert….my, my it’s just the appetizer right??? The REAL dessert will be later this evening…right??….pweety please! (A girl can wish can’t she!)

    2. “you can either be here with me now or not but either way it won’t change the past.” — reading thismake me think: You really know the right thing to ‘say’!
      I’m really enjoying the ride. Doesn’t matter were you are taking us. tks Jwet.

    3. I felt obligated to comment because I want the writer to know I enjoy their story. Plus you always respond to the comments, that motivates me to comment.
      Now the comment:
      Awl sweet, I’m glad they are making progress. Shane does seem like she will a good mom. Can’t wait to see what aspect you’ll be writing about next. Good Job.

    5. Woo…two chapters Jwet…I’m falling behind on my readings again…hehe, no worries, I’ll catch up…loved this chapter…I’m so happy both of our girls can be in the “now” instead of the past=P…on to the next chapter!!

    9. Great start, so they are back on track,and finally admitted their feelings for one another. But have an inkling Bette’s meddling in Tina’s career is gonna come to fruition, and i don’t think Ms Kennard will take it too lightly? Hope I’m wrong? Let me be wrong Jwet. lol. Brill chapter as always!!

    11. Slacker’s having HMS tomorrow? Whoo hoo! Oh…you mean the story…it’s still good.
      I haven’t read yet, need to run, printed a copy to read/comment later. Thanks!

    12. They’re making progress! Will Tina find out that Bette was there during Anna’s birth?
      One note: If you could post the last paragraph of the previous chapter before you start the new one, like a ‘Previously on From Afar’ it would help us keep the thread of the story. Could you, please?
      Thanks for another engrossing chapter!
      BTW – Shane has to be the coolest friend around – discreet and loyal!

    13. Jwet, great chapter. But on a different note, I’d like to say ‘Thank You’ to you on behalf of all of us who offer comments. It’s a good feeling when the author takes time out to acknowledge their fans. Post soon!

    14. Goodie, goodie, gum drops: the date.
      And what a delightful, adorable and satisfying event it has turned into. No doubt due to your delectable and charming style. The love and generosity that Bette and Tina share just positively jumps off the screen. I am so ecstatic that Tina stood her ground and told Bette things straight. Tina has developed a back bone (in part due to Bette’s nurturing) but not at the cost of her compassion and kindheartedness. Bette’s apprehension and angst was quickly and quietly deal with. This allowed the characters (and story ) to move forward.
      Thank you for a wonderful chapter yet again. I am plowing through my thesaurus trying to come up with new plaudits and platitudes to bestow on you.
      Today’s food for thought:
      Where did Alpha Bette go? When will she raise her ugly and angry head? Has Tina added a pellet with the poison in the vessel with the pestle; while the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true? What is Irene’s sexual preference? Will Shane ever tell a secret?
      You’ll have to wait for the next chapter to see if any of these are answered.
      Tattie bye for now.
      Your Loyal Fan.
      PS – Yes, I do like Danny Kaye.

    15. As always fantastic..Good move on Shanes part..Tina will tell her.. and as far as the dinner please don’t leave us hanging. I can’t wait to see how you end this night..I Love this story as you can probably tell. Post soon please

    17. This chapter was beautiful as always Jwet. Sorry to the impregnator(glad you liked) will be making an appearance…but I see the necessity of it, begrudgingly. :P

    19. Hey Jwet, brilliant as always, like how the raised a toast to:-
      “To new beginnings and old loves”
      very nice indeed.
      Love it, thanks for the update.

    20. “Chocolate Espresso Soufflé Cake with Mascarpone Crème”… that sounds really yummy. When do they get to the ‘real desert’? ;)

    21. Hey Jwet I’m still
      love it again another Beautiful Story I can wait Tina and Bette their CHEMISTRY in you’re Story it’s really Amazing really Jwet even in the real show to right Thank you keep it going Please.

    22. Hmm, I love this story but there are so many things in the background lurking. Bette observing the birth of Anna “from afar” and orchestrating Tina’s career “from afar.” You hinted at both in this chapter and I can’t wait for the truth to be revealed; but based on how Tina handled Bette’s question in this chapter and the zeal she showcased when talking about her new job, I’m confident that Tina will be able to handle Bette’s meddling “from afar.”

    24. Everything I hoped for. Perfect name for this chapter.. Yup Yup I got your email late last night and then slept in this morning. Working in the yard kicked my butt yesterday. Made me feel like a one armed paper hanger. LMAO!!! So I’m gonna chill out and recovery and read. WAHOOO.. Loving it more each chapter.

    25. i knew you were end like this..lol..i guess now Bette is more relax and confident to be with tina..this is the woman she spend so many years and she knows that Tina is a new person now but her essence and heart is the same..thanks for another great chapter..

    26. WOW I could only guess at how much the bill is going to be. LOL great chapter, I don’t know about Irene you have never really have her talk much, so I though it was weird she started asking questions right away. But she would be a good person to hear the veiws she has seen. If you haven’t seen alicia keys in concert, you should!!! She is amazing. I talked to her back stage, about travel, wine, food, her music, her poems. She is so nice, converstaion just flows with her, and she is so smart. She is 1 yr older then me and wow it’s like she had live for 50yrs already.

    28. Ok, I just donno why suddenly the warning by Momma Bear Tina pooped out in my head yesterday. Hehe… Alright it’s odd but gotta thank u for reading my story here where I should be giving u comments :) Most importantly…thanks for the update and can’t wait to see what happened through the date and of course the ‘history lecturer’ by Momma Bear Tina ;)

    31. Too bad this is just text because there’s just a huge smill on my face right now!

      I’m smiling – well, the softly spoken ultimatum which I think was delivered perfectly – especially since she only wanted to be there with Bette.

      I’m smiling because of the wonderful menu you had for the girl’s dinner.

      I’m smiling because Shane is showing herself to be a true friend and possibly a good mother, at least aunt.

      I’m smiling because 15 is closer to 20 then 10…..

      I’m smiling – heck, this is a wonderful story!

      Thanks for the smiles!
