    Author Notes:

    Tina takes the necessary steps toward her future…

    “I doubt that,” Tina said standing up and gathering her things.  “I did what you asked and rewrote it, despite having reservations of my own.  The fact that you can’t dive deep enough to inspire one of the hundreds that were here to audition for the part is not my problem, the rewrite stands.”

    Tina got up and yanked the door open, practically running Leslie down as she spoke to a few of assistants to gather help for the open call later that morning.

    “Tina?”

    “Sorry Leslie,” Tina said over her shoulder.  “I’ll be in my office if you need me.”

    Tina walked the small distance from Kate’s office to her own, silently cursing Kate for her misplaced criticism of her depiction of Bette.  Tina had struggled for weeks now, ensuring that each scene she rewrote was not clouded by her emotions, but was an accurate representation of the moment when it had occurred.  She sat in her chair and swiveled it around to stare out the window when she heard her office door open.

    “I don’t remember inviting you in,” Tina said as Kate approached her desk and sat in one of her guest chairs.

    “That’s because I didn’t ask,” Kate said with a smile on her face.  “You do know that as the Director I have the ability to override your rewrites don’t you?”

    “I could also advise Shaolin to shelve the whole project.  Don’t play games Kate,” Tina said confidently still staring out of the window.  “You need me to make this script into reality.”

    “Is this reality?”

    “She’s complex,” Tina turned her chair to face Kate, their eyes meeting, as she formulated the rest of her response.  “Sometimes love outweighs what seems important to her, but if you knew her well, you wouldn’t be questioning the times when that happened.”

    “You have to understand,” Kate tried to calmly explain.  “For most of the script, Bev’s priority is her job.  She goes against her Board of Directors and cancels a Spring show to pursue Provocations.  She puts her job on the line for a show she hadn’t even booked yet, even though you were trying to start your family.  That isn’t particularly intelligent in the business world.  There are these glaring spots where the scenes don’t portray the Bev that is throughout the rest of the script.”

    2. What a great chapter, Gumby. It shows so much of this relationship: the willingness to change, to see change in another. To fall in love over and over again with the same person is real if we allow ourselves to look forward and not back. Thanks for this chapter. Lin

    9. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Yes, yes, please SHOW US SOON why Tina’s not available to Kate anymore. I have a feeling the next chapter will radiate the thermometer-busting heat of THE KISS in episode 504. Thanks for this great update, Gumby! PPS

    13. It so hard to fall in love with someone completely.sometime it takes yrs. Falling out of love is harder.you find yourself loving this person more and more as each day goes by. It hard to try to share your heart with some else when another person has the whole heart. Love this story. thanks

    14. Whoo-hoo! I love it! Tina telling Kate off about wanting to put Bette into a box and then telling her she wasn’t available. And Tina going to Bette and letting her know that Kate wasn’t in the picture was perfect. I am eagerly awaiting more!

    15. This update made me want to scream.. in a ridiculously good way. This was the update I’ve been waiting for.. for Tina to realize the changes that Bette has made. To see her stand up to Kate. I can’t believe you cut it off at the kiss juncture. I want to see them date slowly, do everything right this time. I would LOVE some family scenes. Yay to Tina! (Finally).

    16. YOU STOPPED THERE??? I feel like i’m repeating myself to you! OK…Please please please post some more!! I think Kate needs her ass handed to her. I figured that as soon as she saw Tina’s feelings for what they are she would turn to a bitch!!

    21. Oh Gumby, that was a wonderful chapter. So happy that Tina told Kate she is not available to her and that she does not know a rat’s ass about Bette and her feelings about things and why she does certain things. I love when Tina gets mad and starts talking through her teeth, you just know that the fire is about to erupt. She is so darned sexy when she gets like that, LOVE IT. So happy that Tina got her act together and told Bette how she felt. she had me a little worried that she might turn to Kate and I hoped that she would not. Should have known you would not let that happen. You love our girls too. PPS

    30. Hello Gumby, I love how passionate Tina and Bette both are… Tina for her love… not just for Bette but for her Love… she has such an incredible understanding of her own need and desire for Love and she realizes that this love belongs to someone… to Bette. No matter how much time or distance comes between them… she realizes they will always be connected through love… and that is something I think Tina lost sight of… but as she started to regain her sense of identity she started to realize that you can’t give away something that doesn’t belong to her… her love… her heart… her soul. I think Bette has realized just how important her passion is… when she was at the CAC she had to put her own passions on hold… she had to skip through hopes and try to impress others while all the time she only needed to impress herself and in doing so she would impress Tina. I think this is the thread that caused these two souls to wander away from one another… they lost their passion not only for each other, but for themselves… and their lives. This was so very powerful and vibrant. Sincerely, JC

    33. I’ll settle for the implied kiss, but can we have the real action next time ? :) I’s great to see both B&T making thought out and honest desicions instead of playing games and possibly hurting others in the process. Thanks Strechy Arms

    34. Awww…Tina sat in that art class while she was awed by the love of her life. To watch that one person that captures your heart as they work and to fall in love a little bit more with them, is the kind of love that should be celebrated not ignored. I think it’s safe to say that Tina is not available to date & not available to share her heart with anybody but Bette Porter. PS.
