“Yes – we have gone through all her savings and investments – money that Kate left her and she is also sure that she wants to sell her apartment. If she does that – she will have more than enough money to pay for the course and all the books and everything and allow herself a grant of money every month to live on “
Helena slapped Bette on the thigh “I think that is a brilliant idea “
“I think she was so disappointed about the MBA more than the job I think and she had the prospectus with her on holiday so we looked through it and talked about how it was something she has always wanted to do – to go back to college. “
Helena nodded “And she doesn’t want to tell her mom about this – why ?”
“Because Tina’s plan is a mixed degree – mainly the MBA but also elements from another course to give herself a combined Masters degree – it will be like doing one and a half Masters all at once “
Helena looked at Bette puzzled for a few minutes
“Film Studies “ she snapped her fingers “ Some of the units will be from a media or film studies course and she thinks that Emma will hit the roof “
Bette nodded “That’s the only reason Tina didn’t tell her mom the other day when they ended up arguing about it and Emma said that Tina was lying “
“Yes – I told Emma that it wasn’t the way to endear herself to her daughter – she ended up agreeing that she might have gone a little over the top”
“A little ?” Bette said “ She presses Tina’s buttons and before you know it Tina slips back into 14 year old stroppy mode “
Helena laughed “ Does Rosemary do that to you because Peggy sure can do that to me”
“Yes – she shows up when I am sick and starts treating me like I was 4 – gets me every time “
“We should consider pointing this out to them “
“Wouldn’t work – dad says its in their DNA and we should just find ways of dealing with it “
“Well so far the combined brains of the three of us seem incapable of resisting it”
“Looks that way “
“So Tina needs a reference ?”
“Ye s – I know it should be Peggy but she’s mounting a charm and please forgive me campaign so we cannot really ask her “
“Don’t worry – I will write something for her and have it couriered over to wherever she wants it sent to. I worked with Tina and I know that she is smart and articulate and could do this Masters – plus she has you in her corner and that is worth a few A’s “
Bette grinned “Thanks Helena “
“I know that she can do it “ Helena said “ And tell her not to worry about Emma. I know that she sounds so catty at times but she is just devoted to Tina. Yes – I know that you will say that she shows it in a funny way but she really does. Maybe because she has to watch what she says so much in her job – she finds it hard with Tina. But she is proud of her and she is totally behind the two of you living together “
“It would help if she just took her foot off the throttle and trusted Tina. In her own way Tina is every bit as driven as her mother “
Helena laughed “Which one of us do you think is most like her mom – you, Tina or me ?”
“Oh boy – now THAT is a hard one – come on – lets see if inspiration comes to use as we run back to the gallery “

Beautiful and sexy chapter!
The friendship between Bette and Helena is wonderful and i like that they still make time for each other and do things like running or talking. But Helena needs to stay out of the relationship between Tina and her mother. I think she meant well, but she risks becoming a plaything between Tina and Emma, as would happen between Helena, Peggy and Tina.
She doesn’t have to defend Emma about her behavior towards Tina and tell her that Emma wants the best for her daughter and loves her so much. Emma will have to show this herself in deeds and words. At one point Helena is right, Peggy and Emma look alike in behavior towards their daughters and how they are at work.
Good that Helena will write a reference for Tina, she is happy to help and that warms my heart.
Thank you for the chapter! Stay save and healthy ????
I agree. Love this story. But I do not like Emma in any way. She is toxic and her toxicity is spreading. I love the friendship between Bette and Helena but must honestly say that for the first time I do not understand Bette. Asking Helena for the reference for Tina is fine but to ask Helena to keep it from Emma because she will disapprove of her course selection is so not Bette. Or so I thought. Emma is an ogre and yet Bette is now going the extra mile to protect Tina from her mother’s condescension rather than just stand up to Emma and help Tina get started with her degree. Everyone knows Emma is terrible yet Bette thinks Peggy is worse and Helena is critical of Rosemary? This does not work for me at all. Disappointing that Bette would rather hide things from Emma because she will blow a gasket at Tina taking film courses rather than be proud of Tina for her courage and stand up to Emma. How cares what she thinks? That Bette asked Helena to keep it a secret from Emma and that Helena agreed does not say much for any of them, or their relationships, including Emma. Just putting off the inevitable volcano of disapproval.
Bette is keeping tina’s secret FOR NOW until she has her place THE AUTHOR
Bette is keeping Tina’s secret because Tina wants to keep it secret until she is accepted into the program. And once accepted, Tina will decide who and when she tells her news. Bette is merely allowing Tina to control when the information is released.
Tina needs a reference and is asking Helena as opposed to Peggy. She just is not ready for her mother to know her business until she is ready to tell her. Bette is just honoring Tina’s wishes by asking Helen not to tell Emma. Why have a drawn out discussion today which will changes nothing when you can put it off several weeks down the road.?
This was an excellent chapter. I see no problem in asking Helena for a reference nor to keep Tina’s confidence on the subject. I actually believe that Helena has a much healthier attitude about Bette and Tina than she has about her own relationships. But Bette is right that Helena needs to establish her independence from Peggy and not let her get away with her controlling tactics. My recommendation is for Helena to get a job some where other than Peabody Foundations and make her own life. If things work our with Emma, great. If not then find someone else.
Excellent, Excellent chapter.
Keeping Tina’s secret implies that Tina NEEDS to keep a secret and she does not. It’s very sad that she knows her mother will disapprove. I also think it is sad that all agree it is better to keep it a secret from Emma until Tina is accepted and begins the program and THEN endure Emma’s disapproval. Love the story and characters very much just do not like Emma at all. That Emma elicits such emotions in me is, in my opinion, a reflection of the excellent story telling.
All this keep Secets has a point which is well explained in this great chapter!
I like Helena and her friendship with Brtte.
Love Tina and Bette and look forward to more.
Stay safe
