    Author Notes:

    Do you still love me?

    Tina did not fail to notice the verb tense of Bette’s statements.

    Bette fell silent, suddenly somber again. Then she looked up, and turned to Tina. "When?"

    "When, what?"

    "When did we just become friends?"

    "Bette." This was becoming a very old discussion topic that she was too exasperated to discuss. But Tina also knew she owed Bette some answers.

    "Just one question and I’ll stop." Bette promised. "I mean, I know that you told me to keep our communication at a strictly-friends level, but I thought that was just to avoid any awkwardness. Why does it continue even when you’re here?"

    Tina sighed. "Because it’s the only way I know that I can be here for you without ruining what’s left of our relationship."

    Bette turned away, turning back to the sheets she was supposed to be going through. "Oh."

    "I want to salvage us, Bette." Tina continued. "But that’s not what I came here for."

    "So when did I stop being ‘love interest’ material and fall into the ‘friends’ category?" Bette insisted.

    When you cheated on me! Tina wanted to yell, but realized that wasn’t exactly true, either. Why was it so hard to keep her resentment at bay and just be here for Bette? When did being Bette’s shoulder to cry on become such a huge burden?

    "T?" Bette asked, her voice so small, so vulnerable, as if she knew what the answer in Tina’s head was and was bracing herself for it.

    "Let me just get one thing straight," Tina looked to Bette. "We are not friends. We can never be ‘just friends’. You know that, and I know that, and we both know that we both know that. But I’m not ready for the true nature of our relationship, and I can’t be here for you as your ex, or your estranged wife, or whatever else I really am to you. Right now is a really fucked up time in our relationship, Bette, but if we dwell on that we can’t be here. I can’t be here. So if you want to go on and talk about us, I’m going to have to leave because that isn’t what this visit is about. Can you understand that?"

    Bette only looked at her, as the words sunk in. "Just one more, and I’ll stop."

    2. Great exchange between the two. You can understand why it is so difficult to communicate when you have resentment for the one you love. T is trying to be there for Bette, to support her but not quite ready for confession tyme. Bette should just accept the way things are now and be grateful. It’s obvious T is whipped by the Porter charm. (I guess in tyme, I’ll get that knock out, drag out sex scene that Bette is great at, huh!)

    13. Heavy. I can see where Tina is coming from – she has been hurt so much but she still loves the woman. What can you do – just heart rending.

    15. Yet another great chapter! Poor Bette and Tina….I feel for them. I hope they can work on building their relationship back again. Thanks! I love reading your story.

    17. How do you do it? Every chapter I read pulls at my heart strings….it’s as if I am part of the story. You really are good. I hope you post soon.

    18. I really love this story! There are just so many emotional layers in B&T’s relationship-it’s like peeling an onion-with each one comes tears and yet another layer…I like the sense that even though there is tremendous grief and saddness there is also a sense of hope. (The good thing about peeling onions is you know that eventually you’ll get to the last layer and the tears will cease to flow). Please keep posting ’cause this is good stuff! Thanks.

    20. OMG..we can feel the high tension between then..but i know Tina is almost yielding there so much love in there and so much history as well..post real soon i love it..
