    Author Notes:

    Chapter 51 – Everything I Had Hoped For

    You look happy Bette says softly in Tinas ear.

    This brings Tina back to Bette as she turns to her Yes I am. Thanks for turning tonight into everything I had hoped for. Tina says with a sincerity that makes Bettes heart grow.

    They both begin to eat or more appropriately feed the other their dinners as they share and savor each bite. As they each eat the food the intimacy lent itself to easy conversations and little small talk. Mostly the two just enjoyed the moment and the feel of each others company and the easiness which they both were communicating both verbal and non verbal. After the main course had been cleared away there was a pause as the desert of Chocolate Espresso Souffl Cake with Mascarpone Crme was yet to be served.

    Bette leaned back at this time and asked Tina if she was happy with her choice to go to the MYV Foundation. Tina are you happy that you are moving to the Foundation?

    Tina thought about the previous week and how much had happened. With all of the events of last week you would thing that I might be thinking twice about the opportunity but honestly, I actually enjoyed most of the week. Tina confesses with a little conspiratorial laugh. If it would be anyone else she was talking to Tina probably would not have gone down this line of thought but with Bette Tina allowed her inner thought to come out. It was fun in that I havent had a chance to do things of that nature before. I feel like I learned so much more this week. Jackie really is the most generous person. She wants me to understand the reasoning why things are the way they are. So instead of just knowing that something is done a certain way, I actually understand why its done that way. Having this knowledge allows me to know the operations better so when things do go awry I will immediately know why or where we got derailed.

    As Tina goes into detail with Bette about different aspects of her new job Bette hears the enthusiasm in her voice. Its obvious that Tina is in her element with the position. Hearing this aspect of Tinas life going so well gives Bette a deep sense of satisfaction. All the plans and sacrifices have all been worth this sense of achievement and accomplishment that Tina is feeling.

    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!
