Hindsight – Chapter 16
I had to grab the first things to hand, a French stick, the brie, she liked brie…, I smiled as I also grabbed the jar of cranberry from the other cupboard, the fresh apples, and the container of mixed nuts, she always like walnuts with apples and cheese, Angelica must have inherited her mothers taste, she liked her chunks of cheese with her sliced apple too… and water, I needed a bottle of water, it wasn’t really the occasion for a bottle of white wine, so the water would suffice, we could take it all to the park, a civilised picnic in the park…
I looked around, and was thankful for being able to just come in and get what I needed without a confrontation with Henry, there was plenty of time for that, and I had a feeling that he would be demanding more than a simple explanation of me spending the day with Bette and Angelica when I came back later, but I would deal with that later, no point in thinking about it now… I would just leave him a note to let him know I would be back later… There were just far more important things to deal with today…
Right, I have fourteen minutes to make a twenty minute trip, I just hope the traffic and the lights were on my side, I had a feeling that someone would be pacing the floor glancing at her watch making sure I was on the hour, she would probably be watching out of the window on each lap of the pacing if I still knew her… did I still know her… had I changed… had she changed… I guess time would tell…
Thankfully… so far on the journey back the traffic was pretty free and the lights were definitely on my side, eight minutes… I think I’ll make it, but I certainly won’t have any time to spare and I just need to concentrate on getting there without any speeding fines and with me and the precious car in one piece.
I pull into the road I used to live in, it still felt so familiar… I wonder if I would ever tell her I had driven past here in the last eight weeks… just to pass by… to slow the car down… to see the lights on inside the house… to see this car parked in the driveway… to remind myself of the life I left behind in order to get the thing I told myself I craved… simplicity… a life that was uncomplicated… a life without intensity… I’d come to realise very quickly that all those things also meant… boring…

Always the best.
Amazingly well writen. Thanks for posting !!!!
Yah she made it back…I hope Tina comes home….but she is thinking about going back to Henry’s tonight. Thanks for posting Jobadge. This could go either way.
Loving this story! especially that your Tina isn’t some kind of monster, she seems pretty confused though but they are both so sweet in this story, in a kind of tragic way. Like it a lot.
Well, yeah, she has to go back, she could only carry so many diapers in one trip. She has to go back and get her own stuff, and maybe even do Henry the courtesy of saying goodbye. Who says lesbians can’t be good and boring? Pack it up and move it out of the house that was never a home. Hey Jo, I had to look up rusk in my dictionary. That Angelica sure has exotic tastes for an American kid.
I hope Tina decides not to go to Henry’s house that night. Great writing and PPS.
Ok I give, what is a rusk???
A rusk is a rectangular, hard, dry biscuit or twice-baked bread (courtesy of wikipedia). That doesn’t sound too appealing. lol Anyway I prefer Tina in fuzzy wuzzy slippers being boring with Bette too.
Geez you are good.
I can see Bette pacing and Tina’s head in the day dreams of the past. They still know each other so well. I am with skycaptain about Tina returning to Henry for the night. Hopefully, Tina will have long short talk with Henry and end their relationship. Even if she does not go to Bette right away at least move towards Bette again. You can hear the regret that Tina has for ever leaving Bette and not working through her issues that she alone had. I still belive in B&T and hope that they can take that long road towards each other.
I would like to have some monkey bread myself.
Great, Jo. I so want to see what comes next… the interaction betweem them is all I am looking forward to.
great

Love this story…thanks for sharing it!
as always another excellent chapter from my fav writer. and yeah — what’s wrong with being boring ? did you know that thyey picked the actor who plays Henry just because he looked so boring ? thanks for the ” thing” by the way – i will try not to ask you again – chat soon xxx
Wow Jo… Just wow… The way you describe emotions, they are palpable in the air, lingering inbetween me and the computerscreen… I can see, hear, feel, sense, every emotion you name with your magnificent words… Thanks for this little miracle, as every chapter of this story is
Would it be too much of an understatement to say that I quite like this story? Anyway, just to let you know, for someone who’s supposed to be in retirement I managed to get over my first chapter nerves yesterday and rattled off about 2000 words of something completely different.
Lovely chapter…enjoying it as always.
Excellent ! Excellent ! Excellent ! Love this kind of drama ! How talented are you ?! Thank you for allowing us into your amazing world, Jo. You’re still the Golden Goddess of Fan fiction writing.
Awww I just love your Tina, you’re showing us she isn’t a monster, just a confused girl, who has lost her way temporarily!!
Excellent as always …
There’s no question in my mind that Tina should just stay with her family tonight… call it wishful Tibette thinking, but that’s just the way I see it. Always brilliant, mate. Heart-breaking and oh so beautiful.
