“T…”
I stood at the entrance to the kitchen, Tina was standing with her hands on the picnic bag, staring into space, she looked like she had the weight of the world on her shoulders, she also looked very deep in thought…, I hated to see her in such turmoil… I wished I could take her pain away…, I had my own pain to deal with, what would some more hurt, at least it would alleviate hers…
“T…”
She turned, seeming surprised to hear her name… I seemed to have slipped back into calling T… it felt so alien to use her full name…
“Are you okay…, you looked miles away?”
“Uh… yeah… I was…” her answer seemed tentative…
“Are you alright?”
I heard her sigh, it was always such a giveaway, but she nodded, “yeah… I’m okay…”
I didn’t believe her, but I felt like she should have the benefit of the doubt, the day so far had been difficult for us both, I raised my eyebrows and smiled, there wasn’t anything to be said about her current state of mind, it would save for another time, just like all the other things that would wait until another time.
“We’re ready for our family day in the park…” I said, trying to break the ice a little, so we could move onto a safer territory for her, I looked down at Angelica, looking clean and just… adorable…
“Me too…” she sighed again, she had so much to face if her earlier confession was anything to go by…
With Angelica safely clipped into her car seat, Tina settled herself in the passenger seat while I placed the picnic and blanket in the trunk of the car.
I opened the door and sat down, I looked across at Tina and smiled, I rolled my eyes as I had to adjust the seat back to where I usually had it, it was something I always had to do after she had driven my car…

Great update. Thanks so much.
Your family should leave you to your own devices more often. Excruciatingly beautiful. Jo, haven’t they suffered enough? They both realize what they both miss. PPS if you can.
great update, minus the fingernails…I love this story.
I love the way you write. You explain in such detail so that we can see and feel everything. I love it. Great update. I’m ready for them to work on them so they can eventually get back together (if thats where your taking them). PPS
Geez, Jo, I wish you’d get us to that sunny southern California park already cause it’s currently 7F/-15C here with a nice strong wind. Only going to get colder the next few days. What the fuck am I doing here? God, I wish our girls weren’t so reluctant to lay their respective cards on the table, it would only do them good, but I guess with all the pain they’ve inflicted on each other some reserve is to be expected. Too bad.
That’s so sad. Henry needs to let that fish go or the fish should swim away and come back to Bette.
So what did you do to get left home alone this weekend? Just don’t feed the pigeons or ducks or anything, we don’t want you getting mad bird disease.
LOL @ funnyone! :PThey are both hurt and I think they should really talk. Maybe this picnic time could be a good opportunity to a bigger step forward…
great update jo! keep yourself out trouble if possible..lol p.p.s.
My heart is beating faster knowing that they are lost without the other half of their soul. Somehow, someway they have to get that super glue (Angelica) to piece their torn, worn out hearts back together so that their hearts will beat as one again.
yeah, i agree…why would anyone want to look at ther fish when you already got the one that you want? :-) looking forward to the next one!
jo jo jo seriously these one pagers with all this angst has me addicted!!
Heart wrenching and beautifully written. Please pps.
Tina might need to learn to swim upstream to get her heart back where it belongs thanks
Damn, I could get used to this. So glad you are off and able to devote your time to writing. Love this story.
You are definitely using your time to its full potential. Thanks for another great chapter.
Another great update…got me teary eyed again. I like how you are spending your time alone this weekend. :) Maybe another update tomorrow?? Pretty please! :)
WOW….AMAZING!!!! Bette is the only fish for Tina too. You’re the best mate. BTW, still can’t email you, f*cking Outlook!!! xx
HMMMMMMMM…hope tina’s for real…enuff friggin’ around imo…
Every little detail – “as I had to adjust the seat to where I usually had it” – you just capture it all so that it is painfully real. Just great Jo!
Sweet remmembrances, mixed with the pain of the current situation and the many unknowns and insecurities==wow, Jo, what a tale you are weaving! Thank you so much!
great
Owie. :( Tina will always belong to Bette, end of discussion, as if it ever were one. I definitely understand Bette’s feeling of ‘forever’; for some people, there just AREN’T other fish in the sea. (And some of us are still sitting with our lines cast out ;) )
Well, we all know that Bette is Tina’s fish too… I just hope Tina has the guts to let her know. You’re definately using your weekend to its full potential… thank you for letting us benefit from this time on your own.
Nice update!
That had to be tough for Bette, to het into the car and see those pics again. I wonder if Tina notice d her hesitation or putting the pictures back up to drive to the park. Post soon, I’m hooked (just like a drug addict, but in a good way) LOL.
Good chapter. Keep them talking and open up to each other more. Now let see the family play in the park, they will be happy and have a good time. OK post soon please, thanks! So glad to catch up with your story and love it!
I said Yea yea! Thanks for the update. LUV it.
