If You Never Say Anything to Me
Chapter 5
When I woke, Eric was gone. He had left a note telling me that he would be back at sometime during the day to pick up some clothes but would stay at his friend Jack’s apartment until he could find something else. It saddened me that he wanted to be gone so quickly but I realized that I wasn’t going to change my mind so there was no reason to prolong it. Jack was a good guy and also a newer lawyer at the firm so moving in with him would probably turn into something good for Eric. They were both competitive but needed one another since they were so far down the food chain at the firm. They saved each other’s sanity on numerous occasions so I wasn’t surprised that’s where he planned to end up. Not to push him but because he really was pitiful when it came to such things, I went ahead and packed his bag and placed his suits in a hanging bag. I left a note telling him what I had done and why. I also told him he didn’t have to move all of his things if Jack’s was only short term. There was no reason to move twice.
After I got his things settled, I went and drank the coffee he had left for me. I sat down and picked up the phone. It was still early but I was not going to get back to sleep. On the third ring, Mom answered.
“Hey Tina, how are you?” Her speaking was a little forced so I imagined she was out doing her daily power walk. Ever since she retired, she got up daily and went for a walk. I knew if I wanted to catch her, I had to get her then. She always had her phone when she walked. Throughout the rest of the day, that wasn’t a guarantee.
“Hey Mom. Out walking?”
“Of course. It’s a beautiful day and I got an early start so I’m going a couple extra miles. What are you doing up so early?”
“Can I talk to you while you walk?”
“Actually, I just got to the park. I’ll sit down and drink my water so we can have a civilized talk. Again, you who hates mornings, why are you up so early?”

I really really like your writing and thanks for such an interesting story with the characters being mature for a change. Thanks also for your explanation of how you will handle the therapist issues – I do hate it when fiction basically maligns the profession but your thoughts were well stated and so I will read on without worry.
it’s really nice to see tina’s mom so supportive of her!!i love how you’re writing shane in this story. i always felt when tina finally knows what she wanst she will figure out a way to get it without intentionally hurting anyone. the fact that she is willing to transfer bettes to somone else simplely she maybe be the person to help her, not because of her atttraction to bette, that says a lot about tina as a doctor and a human being. :)PPS
OOOOOOOOOHhhhhhh, you snuck one in there on me. Likeing the moving along part but do it at your pace. Thanks, Md
It was nice to see talk to her mother and she was so supportive. I think its sweet that Tina is thinking of transfering Bette to someone new but I think it would back fire. Thanks I am loving this story
*Banging fists on table* Chapter 6! Chapter 6! Chapter 6! Chapter 6! Chapter 6! Chapter 6! Chapter 6!… :P
Thanks for posting another chapter today of this story, really do like it. And I love the characters and the fact that they are a little older and are looking at things in a more mature fashion. The only drawback seems to be their reticence to voice their feelings to the other but it will happen when the time is right. Tina is being very mature about her feelings and what she should do about them. Her decision to see where this goes and whether or not she should transfer Bette to another therapist shows that she has ethics. Hopefully since Bette talked with Alice she will talk to Tina during the next session. Love the way you’re writing this. Happy Sunday. Post when you can.
Yes NAG…you’re setting up the possibility to transfer her case! I loved Tina’s Mom’s response…shouldn’t everyone’s parents respond like that? Can’t wait until your next update…this is really getting good!
LOL – judging from the comments, must be a lot of cringing psychologist’s reading this! I admit to being glad to see you are manouvering to get around the ethical issues – there is nothing that is more guaranteed to jar me out of a story than the proverbial “that would never happen IRL” – despite the fact this is fan fiction we have such high standards, LOL! LOVE this story, and it’s a measure of your skill as a writer how already the girls have such different personalities than in WOO. Nice that in this story Tina’s Mom has a healthy response to her lesbian/bi daughter.
If only all breakups could be as civilized as that! Great story.
i don’t want to moan BUT do u think u could space between lines more. my eyes are having difficulty reading even with my glasses on. with the old firefox i could enlarge the text; with the new version i can’t…that’s progress for you!!!! Lol!!!! i’m really into this story, gotta go sleep but have to finish the chapters as well, hugs to baby G…i love that kid already.
