Hindsight – Chapter 32
Main Entry: hindsight
Pronunciation: ‘hIn(d)-"sIt
Function: noun
Meaning: understanding the nature of an event after it has happened
"Hindsight is always better than foresight"
“Why don’t you just sit in the car and I’ll sort things out here…, okay…”
She smiled at me, that grateful smile that she had just heard exactly what she needed to hear, I returned the smile, touching her arm gently, I think we had gotten past a potential situation where she could have bolted from me…, from the little progress we had made today…, we had made steps…, forward steps…
She had spoken to me in what I would call an irate manner, but it was understandable, she had panicked when she had seen the boy…, what would I have expected her to do, walk up to him and ask him if he was having a good day at the park…, no I didn’t think she should have done that, and under the circumstances I think I would have acted in the same way she had…, she just wanted some sanctuary from it all for the moment, and she wanted that with us…, me and Angelica…
I smiled as I folded the stroller and placed it into the trunk, I peered through the rear window, glancing past the vinyl to see how Tina was leaning her head back on the rest, I can only imagine what was going through her mind at the moment…
I got in the car beside her, noticing how her eyes slowly opened at the disturbance beside her…
“Okay…?”
She nodded, her mind had obviously been a million miles away.
“Penny for them…?”
She looked at me directly in the eye, she seemed to take a deep breath, before looking away, she glanced out of the windscreen, before looking back at me…, “what are your thoughts about hindsight…?”
“Hindsight?”
“Yeah…”
“Um… I often wonder whether hindsight is a blessing or a curse, I think it can be viewed either way…, would you have done things differently if you knew what the outcome would have been…, do you learn from it…, hindsight is just that…, in some ways its useless knowledge, because when you know and understand after the event, its too late to do anything about it…, its more of an accepting and understanding concept so we don’t make the same decisions or mistakes again…”

Yeah, where Jenny was merely annoying in a simpering kind of way in earlier seasons, she’s downright hateful this year. Evidently she believes that between having been victimized earlier and currently having been published, she now has carte blanche to be totally self righteous to the point of giving herself to abuse others. And her own team should have kicked her ass for that sorry display at the basketball court. In short, JENNY MUST DIE! And you’re also right about Bette. While they continue to find lame costumes for her, she manages to rise above them to be beautiful despite them. Now, since you have the girls back together, I’m sure you won’t let them destroy themselves with regret. That would be the downside of hindsight.
OH YEAH! STRANGLE JENNY BABE! ALL I WANNA DO! ARGH!
Damn that was good!!!!!!!!!!
LMAO loved your author note, you’re so crazy….and right LOL!!! About the chapter – it’s deep, emotional and so tough, but you’re such a genius….so I want more, now please :o))
Yeah it seems like the one who created the S4 banner for the FF section had something in mind. I keep thinking that’s Tasha’s arm about to choke Jenny, Tina looks like she’s grabbing Bette’s ass, and Alice looks like she’s touching Kit and…Kit’s ENJOYING it?! Man this was sort of sad. Hopefully they get past this.
Your author’s notes made me… so happy. And I agree, whole-heartedly. Ms. Beals is CRIMINALLY fine this season… anyway. OUCH. That hurt. :( But in the most beautiful way possible. Great as always, mate. Keep ’em coming.
Ok, I cried again after reading this. They both still have so much pain their holding onto. They must realize they are the only ones to fix it properly. Keep them talking and listening to one another. Hindsight…is very hard to deal with, but they must learn from it and move on.
Jo, Good to see that you are enjoying Season 4. I agree that Tasha manages to be butch without being masculine. The woman just oozes serenity particularly in the midst of madness. Alice’s poker party showed this attribute. And as for saving the best until last; yep! Ms Beals really has it going on this season. She was the central thread in the phone tree and managed to elude sexiness, anger, concern and desperation depending upon who she was talking to. Loved her chat with Kit there. Now on to the great stuff; Your latest chapter in this marvelous melodrama.Hindsight can be a curse as you wonder how you could have some things differently to get another result. But it is the choices that we nake and follow that make us who we are. I do believe that we show regret the things we haven’t do as apposed to those we have. There are little shoots of recovery blossoming as Bette and Tina start to share their inner most thoughts. They both know that there is no easy fix but at least they now know how the other one truly feels. I adore the skill and style that your stories follow: no quick fixes but honesty, communincation and effort. Thank you so much for entertaining me on a dull afternoon. Your Loyal Fan.
Great update Jo. Urgh so many regrets :( Hopefully they will find the strength to overcome all that…
hindsight…a curse & a blessing. definitely.
