    Author Notes:

    Dinner is upon us….

    “You always had a tendency to get take out if you remembered to eat,” Tina teased.  “I don’t remember cooking to be your strong suit.”

    “I can manage,” Bette said confidently as she turned to head toward the kitchen.  “I’ve mastered a few recipes here and there.”

    As Bette turned around, Tina’s eyes immediately went to her ass, seeing the label that announced that Tina was correct, Bette had chosen her well-worn Levis to wear for the night.  Sticking out from the back pocket that had a hole near it was an index card.  As Bette began to walk, Tina quickly grabbed the card and pulled it free from Bette’s jeans.

    “Mastered a few recipes huh?”

    “I never said I didn’t need help,” Bette admitted as a blush graced her cheeks.  “And you shouldn’t be looking at my ass to know the card was in there.”

    Tina was flabbergasted at Bette’s observation, but before she could formulate a response, Bette was already in the kitchen pouring them both a glass of wine.

    “How was your day?”

    “Tedious,” Tina said while she looked around the house at her surroundings.  “Yours?”

    “Good, I have a major donor conference which is always a bear, but things are going well.  Did you cast our counterparts yet?”

    “You’re asking me about the movie?” Tina asked surprised by what seemed like Bette’s genuine interest.

    “Why wouldn’t I?”

    “Because you hate the movie industry,” Tina simply said.  “Plus you’re very private and this movie has to throw you off balance given that it is mostly about us.”

    Bette handed Tina her glass of wine and told her to make herself at home while she finished preparing the meal.  Tina, still holding the index card, turned it over and began to read the recipe.

    “We’re having salmon?”

    “Still your favorite I hope,” Bette said as she chopped vegetables at an alarming rate.  “Plus we are having salad and some steamed vegetables if that’s ok?”

    “You didn’t have to go through so much trouble,” Tina said as she allowed herself to, once again, look around.  “We could have just grabbed something at a restaurant.”

    “Then we wouldn’t be able to talk in private now would we?”

    “I suppose it would be a deterrent,” Tina agreed.

    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.
