    Author Notes:

    Do you still love me?

    "Fine."

    "Do you love me?"

    And there it was. The weak link in Tina’s suit of armor. The one thing that got her to fall apart, the one thing that dismantled whatever reasoning she’d created for her to work with.

    Tina took a deep breath, then lifted her gaze to meet Bette’s. "Always."

    Bette held her gaze, and understood. If she thought being around Tina and knowing she would be leaving soon, amidst the death of her father, was difficult, this must be ***** for the other woman. After all, she’d moved across the country to be free from the drama she’d left behind, only to come back and have their drama played out in an already-difficult time. "I’m sorry."

    Pause.

    "I mean, not for the love part, because, clearly, I’m not sorry about any of that, because I’m glad, and I love you, and everything…" Bette tried to stop blabbering. She took a deep breath. "About bringing it up: I’m sorry."

    "I know." Tina turned back to her script.

    Bette hesitated. "T?"

    "Yes?" Weariness had crept into Tina’s tone.

    "Why don’t you just check out of the hotel? I know that since you’re on leave technically you’re going to be paying for the room, and…"

    "The lines are already too blurry, Bette. I can’t cross them any more than I already have." Tina said softly.

    "There’s a guest room." Bette reminded.

    "I can’t," Tina managed to say, her emotions already getting the better of her. "I can’t stay here."

    Bette knew that defeated look on Tina’s expression, and knew that whatever she had left to say about Tina leaving the hotel would be pointless. "T?"

    What?!?! Tina was really beginning to hate this question-and-answer portion of her interaction with Bette, but it was the most civil conversation they could have. "Yeah, babe?"

    Ooh. Both women paused at that, recognizing that slip of the tongue, Freudian or not, this was how easy it was for Tina to return to old habits.

    "Can you stay the night?"

    "I don’t think–"

    "Please? I’ll sleep better if I knew you’re just here."

    Tina hesitated.

    "Just tonight?" Bette insisted, preparing to plead her case openly.

    Tina nodded. "Okay."

    And then she smiled. The smile that had captured Tina’s heart and attention all those years ago. That sad beautiful smile of hers that told Tina the full impact of her words. Tina, despite herself, smiled back, and knew instantly she was in deeper than she’d expected.

    to be continued.

    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..
