If it is meant to be…Chapter 79
Bette relaxed back into her seat and closed her eyes, finally letting the tears flow, without feeling the need to wipe them away. Tina…baby. She couldnt understand how this could be happening. What kind of a God would allow her to fall so deeply in love with two different people, only to take both of them away from her in the same way?
No…she couldnt think that way. Dan said that Tina is still alive. Hang onto that thought….she is still alive.
Unaware of what she was doing, Bette let out a painful moan of despair, as her head fell forward and her hands came up to cover her face…whispering Tinas name over and over again.
Tina….Tina…Tina…
The man sitting beside Bette made no attempt to stop his own tears that spilled over onto his cheeks, as the pain emitting from the woman next to him was palpable, and absolutely overwhelming.

Bette slid her credit card through the slot, releasing the phone from its locked position. The plane had taken off only thirty minutes earlier, but she couldnt wait any longer. She needed to know what was going on.
Dans phone rang twice before she heard his hurried hello.
Dan, its Bette. She took a deep breath. Tell me.
She could hear Dans deep sigh on the other end of the phone, causing her fingers to clamp tighter around the headset she now had a death grip on.
Bette, I wish I could tell you more…but, dammit…they wont tell me! The frustration Dan had been experiencing at the hands of the hospital staff, clearly taking its toll. Apparently Tina put me down as the person to call in case of an emergency. However, she has you down as her next of kin…which means that even though they called me to let me know that she was in an accident, they wont tell me anything else since I am no longer legally related to her!! I told them you were on a plane, and asked if they could tell you when you called in, but they said they couldnt give that information out over the phone.
Unbeknownst to Bette, Dan was rubbing his free hand back and forth through his hair. All they will tell me is that she is alive, but she has sustained injuries which need medical attention! Dan blew out a breath in exasperation. No *****! Of course she needs medical attention! She was hit by a car, for crying out loud!!!! Why else would she be here!!!?? They wouldnt even tell me if her injuries are life threatening!!

Brilliant chapter that it almost made me cry.Please post soon.
That was a wonderfully draining chapter. Pleae hurry, the suspense id killing me!
u have to get them together ASAP!!
seahurst, I dont think you know how much your story is truly missed, your writing is so compelling, you and skipton have been posting for so long, you guys stories are the best. please keep it going thank you so much
Nicely written chapter. I understand why you’ve included the car accident and don’t think you need to apologize to any of us for your plot decisions. I like the way you have constructed this so that Dan and Bette need to depend on each other & the common denominator is their love for Tina. Also, when Dan can’t get info at the hospital it reminded me of the many instances when this happens to same-sex couples because they are not legally the next of kin. Very poignant. Sorry, long winded tonight, but great job!
You are amazing Seahurst, you amazing! The story you are telling feels so real – you breathe life into your characters. Can’t wait until the next fine chapter. Soon, please!
So glad to see this post. Can’t wait for the next.
Please, please, don’t make us wait too long. There are many wonderful writers here, new ones all the time but you still reign supreme! Your ability to capture so much emotion is second to none.
How long does it take to fly from NY to Seattle? I’ll just hold my breath…
Really good chapter.
For some reason, I’m thinking back to their trip to the lake. It was then that I thought you might kill off one of the characters to end this idyll.
I hope you don’t do it.
Thanks for posting another chapter!
Seahurst, another beautiful chapter. Please don’t leave us hanging.
too short! :(
I went out of the country for a week and only went to an internet cafe once to check my emails and one special story. Can you guess which one? Then I worried off and on all week. Bring on the next chapter soon.

You know how to bring on the drama better than anyone!
LOVE IT!
Awesome connection between Bette and Dan…very well written lady…you are just one of this site’s best writers…bravo!!!
WoW this is really sad for Tina and Bette I’m loving it post more Pls.
This chapter was great but it is hard to wait for news but I guess if Bette waits so do we. Thanks for continuing to treat us with your gorgeous writing.
I love this story. I am patiently waiting for you to continue since I feel like we are on the same page with the anger and frustration towards Tina. I’m kinda expecting you to have her in a body cast up to her neck. Ha!
Sea, the voices of your characters are so compelling and real. I hope one day, you put all your chapters together into a book. And yes, I’d like an autographed copy please!
