    Author Notes:

    Tina takes the necessary steps toward her future…

    “Good morning,” Bette said loudly. 

    Only a handful of students heard her voice, but they quickly alerted the others that Dean Porter was now in the studio and commanding their attention. 

    “I’m sorry to inform you that Dr. Logan is out ill today,” Bette walked around glancing at the various pieces the students had been working on during the semester.  “I’ll be taking over his class.”

    The sound of Bette’s heels on the hard floor was mesmerizing, each student stared at her as she passed them and took a brief moment to look at their work.  If something truly caught Bette’s eye, she often reached out and touched the piece in front of her to familiarize herself with it.

    As Bette made her way across the room, occasionally speaking to the students about their work, the rest of the room remained silent and awe struck.  It was the perfect opportunity for Tina to slip into the studio undetected.  When Tina and James arrived at the studio, James opened his mouth to interrupt Bette’s progression around the room so Bette would know she had a visitor.  A simple tug on his arm silenced James so that Tina could explain that she wanted to interrupt and would wait until there was a break to make her presence known.  James nodded his head in understanding and closed the door behind him, not witnessing Tina slip into a corner partially covered behind Jodi’s old work.

    “Dean Porter?”

    Bette turned in the direction of a young woman who looked rather intimidated to be speaking with Bette.

    “Some of us are having trouble with our pieces.  We’re trying to stay within the theme but, at least I can speak for me, I don’t feel inspired by it.”

    “What’s the theme?” Bette asked the class.

    “Politics depicted in mixed media.”

    “That’s pretty broad,” Bette said as she continued her appraisal of the students’ work.  “But I’d have to agree that in order to create, you have to feel inspired.”

    “What do you do when you don’t feel that way?”

    “Stop,” Bette offered a smile at another student that interrupted the conversation.  “As artists the piece has to speak to you, to pour your heart into something it has to mean something to you.”

    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.
