    Author Notes:

    She’s the love of my life.

    "I love you," Candace blurted out.

    There was silence as the echo of her words reverberated around the room.

    Candace knew her confession would fall on deaf ears, but she also knew she had to say it. She couldn’t let this woman walk out of her life without knowing she had captured her heart.

    Hearing those three words from someone other than Tina seemed unnatural to Bette. It just didn’t seem right, nor did Bette want to hear those words from anyone but Tina.

    ‘God, how did I get here?’ It was a question she asked herself at least ten times a day. She had completely and royally fucked up. She had fucked up Tina’s life…her own life…and now Candace’s. Jesus…she was a fucking menace.

    Lifting her head and squaring her shoulders she turned and gave Candace a sad smile. "Thank you…for loving me. I’m sorry I can’t reciprocate."

    Candace had known from the start that being with Bette was a huge risk. After all, she could literally see the other woman struggle day after day. But, even though she had never before made advances toward a woman in a relationship, always strong in her belief that they were off limits, by the time she found out Bette had a partner, she was already too far gone. She had only loved once before in her life, so when she felt the overwhelming attraction toward Bette from the moment they met, she just couldn’t walk away, no matter how badly her head told her it might end for her.

    "You’re taking a huge chance Bette. What if she won’t take you back?"

    "I don’t know," Bette shrugged her shoulders, answering honestly.

    "Do you think…I mean, if she doesn’t…would you consider…?" The pain and uncertainty was so clearly evident in Candace’s soft, shaking voice.

    Taking a deep breath, Bette spoke from her heart. "Even if Tina never takes me back, I can’t ever be with you again. I know that sounds harsh, but I know how I am. Even if you loved me with all your heart, there would come a point where I would start resenting you for the role you played in the demise of my relationship with Tina. Whether it is your fault or not…which it is not. I am the one who cheated on Tina…but even so…I know I would eventually resent you. Besides…" she took a deep breath. "I would hate myself too much to let your love in…and certainly too much to let any love out."

    Getting up off the bed, Bette quickly pulled her clothes on. Now that she had been honest with Candace about how she felt, she was both anxious and excited to go to Tina. She needed to tell her what was in her heart.

    And, after seven years of faithfully living, loving, and staunchly standing by Bette’s side, she could only hope that Tina would find it in her heart to forgive the unforgivable, and maybe…just maybe…love her once again.

    1. “But, even though she had never before made advances toward a woman in a relationship, always strong in her belief that they were off limits, by the time she found out Bette had a partner, she was already too far gone.” Very strong line. It STINKS this is only reserved for one chapter. Maybe…um….more? ;- )) You said so much in so few pages. You’re on a roll, and it really is good to see your name on the site tonight.

    4. though i hated candace for going after bette, i never thought of her as a villain…but still i didn’t like the fact that she knew bette had someone and she went after her anyway…this chapter in a way helped me to deal with that…i’m still glad candy is gone :)

    5. What an incredible story, Seahurst! I really felt for Candance on that scene when it originally aired, but you’ve managed to make her even more human and relatable.Excellent job. Hope to read more.

    6. Great job.maybe its was like challenge to candy,even though she new bette had a partner candy saw the wedding ring and thought lets see how far she can take it before bette told her NO. we need more please.

    7. Poor Candace. Sometimes risks are worth it, and sometimes they’re not. She knew what she was getting into, even when it was against her better judgment. Now she has her memories and hopefully, she will fine someone that all hers.

    11. I have never seen Candance as a ‘homewrecker’ even though the affair ended B&T. Bette rightly claims responsibility for her own actions. I have always felt sorry for Candance even though she did understand that Bette was in a realtionship before she slept with her. This is definitely a story in the making…

    15. It’s amazing how each time your version seems like what should have happen……Your ability to capture the true character in itself is remarkable. With Bette saying and I quote, “I would hate myself too much to let your love in…and certainly too much to let any love out.”, admits that she was able to love Candace but choice not to. And the fact that this story didn’t completely blame Candace for her part is such a good point. I always believe that she got a raw deal in the show.

    16. Great post, Sea. It seems that the “other woman” is always to blame (been there, done that) but it takes 2 and Bette holds her share of responsibility. she is the one who should have refused. I understand that it is hard when your world is falling down around you but it is NEVER a good idea to cheat. I think Bette learned that one! more please!!!!!

    18. Poor Candace, awww well who cares goodbye Candace lol because Bette will always belong to Tina, so go join Jodi and Henry and good riddens
