She smiled at me, “sorry… I forgot…”
“Yeah right…”
With our seat belts plugged in I turned the key to begin our afternoon in the park, turning back to watch out of the rear window as I reversed out onto the road, smiling as my eyes kept catching the excited gurgles of our daughter.
“All set…?” I say to Tina.
“Absolutely…”
We smiled at one another and I slide the car into drive… looking ahead to our family time, my eyes are instantly drawn to the visor…, she had left in down, I take a deep breath as I see the photos… the photo of Angelica, and the photo of us together… in happier times…, fuck… I felt like I had been punched in the stomach as my eyes flitted across the photo, my heart began to pound at the unexpected feeling of seeing the picture…, also knowing she had been looking at these very same pictures not more than an hour ago…, sitting in this very seat, looking at them…, and she had taken them out, I could tell…, they were in a different position from when I had left them yesterday… the picture of us was now on the left hand side, whereas I always put it back on the right…
“Are you okay…?” she asked me.
“Uh… yeah… I’m… uh… fine… thanks…” I didn’t look at her when I answered, it had been an effort to get the words out, but I’m almost positive that if I had to look into those eyes and answer her question, she would know I was lying…
I took a deep breath, and eased the visor back into its place, it would be more than I could bare to have those pictures taunting me today…
Our journey was in relative silence, both lost in our thoughts, mine were covering the times we had all been in the car together having an afternoon as a proper family… the last time we had spent the day together as a family… it had been strained, it was only a couple of days following how she had told me she was having those feelings for men…
I wasn’t expecting this afternoon’s trip to the park, which we were only minutes into to be so difficult, but maybe that was just me…, maybe it was just my heart feeling that intense pain of what was lacking from my life… family time together…, Angelica…, and her…, Tina…

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.
