    Author Notes:

    Dinner is upon us….

    “I think she’s here,” Bette said quietly.  “I’ve got to go Kit.”

    Tina knocked just as she heard Bette bidding her sister goodbye for the remainder of the night, working hard to control her laughter as the door opened and Bette stood before her.

    Tina didn’t attempt to mask her eyes as they traveled the length of Bette’s body, taking in her attire for the evening.  Suddenly, as Tina stared at Bette, she felt overdressed in her carefully chosen business suit. 

    “I’m glad you made it,” Bette smiled as she stepped aside to allow Tina inside the house.  “Come on in.”

    Bette motioned for Tina to step inside the house, just barely moving to the side to allow her to pass.  Tina closed her eyes briefly as she managed to step past Bette, taking in her unique smelling perfume.

    “You look beautiful,” Bette said as she allowed her eyes to travel the length of Tina’s body.

    As Bette and Tina stood facing one another, it quickly dawned on Tina that she was eye to eye with her taller ex-wife.  She looked down and saw Bette’s perfectly manicured toes, which were in contrast to her own expensive high-heeled shoes.  Partially hiding Bette’s feet were the bottom of her frayed pants.  Tina recognized them immediately, given they were Tina’s favorite pair of pants that Bette owned.

    “I hope you don’t mind that I’m cooking dinner instead of going out,” Bette said as she leaned against the door with her arms folded across her chest. 

    Her arms were only partially hiding the ‘California University’ t-shirt that she wore.  The words advertising Bette’s employer were stretched across her breasts and Tina couldn’t help herself as she allowed her eyes to linger there longer than she had intended.

    “Can I get you a glass of wine?” Bette asked with a smirk.  She knew Tina was staring at her, and made no effort at hiding the fact that she appreciated the attention.

    “I’d love one,” Tina said desperately trying to avert her gaze from Bette’s body.  “I wasn’t aware that you were cooking these days.”

    “Why wouldn’t I be?  Everyone needs to eat right?”

    Tina watched as Bette placed Tina’s purse down near the door and offered to help her out of her suit coat.

    6. Gumby I love this chapter, please give us more of dinners and times likes these. Awww, they love each other so much, please let them show it more. Thank you so much for this lovely story. Happy you completed the painting. PPS

    8. Aww, I really hope Tina dumps this Kate flirtation. Its fine if she is really moving on.. but Bette is putting forth everything she ever wanted. She owes it to herself..and everyone else involved to see if they can be better than they were. Kate has nothing to offer but sex.

    10. “Here’s to finding out”, indeed! Love this story more with each chapter. As much as I like your Kate, how could anyone resist your Bette? I’m hoping the end of the painting facilitates additional writing time… please. Your awards truly well-deserved. Congrats on both!

    15. Hello Gumby, I have been a silent reader of this story well since you first started it and I must say you are absolutely brilliant. I love how you have both Bette and Tina evolving, learning from their pasts and learning to move on… to let go of the hurt and pain… the mistakes and the turmoil and finally forgive each other. I love how you layer this story with the emotional complexities that comes with being in love and not being able to really show it for fear of losing that which you love the most. Your ability to portray these rich emotions and evoke them in your readers is just a stroke of brilliance, you paint with words a literary masterpiece that is so rich and so full of love and I cannot wait to see where you take us with this journey. I’m sorry I haven’t commented until this point, you absolutely Rock. Sincerely, JC

    19. Hey Gumby, All that paintin’ made ya sick, huh? LOL! I hope you feel better soon so that you can post another chappie so that we can find out where this is heading. PS.

    23. Its so good to know that Bette dresses appropriately for this occasion! Great chapter. And I agree with Panda – you really should post more often! LOL x

    24. ” I took the opportunity to get the painting done!” … Read that and thought -wow-Gumby is so artistic… and then read on and lol’d at myself. ” I am now done, the entire house is freshly painted! ” Which is also artistic, and quite an achievement. So’s the story. Thanks G!

    25. I hope Bette and Tina keep talking and working toward one another. Kate needs to step off though maybe Tina is picking up on the fact that Kate isn’t really into going as slow as she claimed. I can’t wait for more!

    27. Oh how romantic and charming. The realitiy of every day does trump the grand gesture. Thanks I love this story. It pulls my heart in all sorts of directions. Thanks for writing. I’m glad the painting is done and you’re able to sit in the charmingly fresh surroundings to compose.

    30. Everytime I see this story has posted, I get so excited! These characters are well-written, multi-dimensional, and simply brilliant. Excellent chapter!

    31. Gumby, you really have a gift. Nothing over the top, just a straight forward conversation that said soooo much about Bette and Tina. Waiting for your next update…trying to be patient.
