    Author Notes:

    Here to there.

    Bette slumped on the couch. "This would be so much more easy if I didn’t still love her. "

    Angelica only continued to suck hungrily on her milk.

    Bette watched her for a moment, and had to smile. "I know the feeling."

    She sat back, and made a mental list of things she had to do over the next few days. Work, bleah. What else?

    File for separation.

    Bette sighed, and glanced up at the ceiling. If she were to believe Tina — and a part of her really didn’t — then separation was the best way to go. They couldn’t keep fighting and at the same time have Angelica in the middle.

    But it seemed so… final. Regardless of the being that was BetteandTina, separation meant separate lives. It meant dating other people.

    It meant there would be Bette, and there would be Tina, and there would be no two of them together.

    Angelica relinquished the bottle proudly, having finished her meal for the night.

    Shit. Dinner.

    Bette sat up straighter, wondering what she would have for her meal, when she noticed the package at the table, wrapped in brown paper. She took the bottle away from Angelica. "Angel, do you know what this is, baby?"

    Angelica spoke, but Bette knew it was a ‘no’.

    "Well, let’s see what it is, huh?" Bette leaned forward, and saw no card. She grabbed the edge of the wrap, and ripped it open with one hand, the other holding Angelica tightly to her.

    It was a reproduction, a poster. Bette smiled to herself, and stood up to gaze down at her gift.

    It was a poster, but like hell did she care.

    "This is your mommy’s work," Bette told Angelica. "And she never fails to surprise me."

    Angelica answered with something, which made Bette smile even wider before picking up the piece of paper taped to the frame.

    It’s a cheap replacement, but I hope it’ll do until you get the real thing back. Love, T.

    Bette grinned at Angelica. "This is the woman we love, baby girl."

    Tina almost had her convinced, but this… this was her answer. Tina’s words had struck a chord, but this was the song.

    It wasn’t her prized Kiki Smith print, but the meaning of the gesture meant so much more.

    The question now is, with what Tina thought would be best and what they both really wanted, what was the best route of action to take?

    2. Just today I read all the chapters of Let Me In and with Tina leaving the print, she was telling Bette that until both originals (the print and herself) came back to Bette what she left her would have to do. The print and Angelica. Am I right on this? This is killing me but there seems to be a little light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for the post and post soon please.

    3. Hey tiff, I don’t mind a little detour as long as it does get to Denialville eventually. I don’t need to take the Express… LOL. It just means that we’ll be enjoying more scenery along the way (brought to us by your excellent writing). Thanks.

    7. Thanks Tiff – good to get back to find posts from you!Your Bette & Tina might actually get the processing, therapy, and communication in – so they can grow and learn to love, trust and respect each other again on that route to our favourite location (togethertown – Denialville)

    8. I always look forward to opening your stories and reading them. This was no exception. I actually cried when Bette sold her Kiki Smith “Fawn” print. It reminded me of “The Gift of The Magi” w/o the reciprocation.

    10. ‘It’s a cheap replacement, but I hope it’ll do until you get the real thing back. Love, T.’ Now, is Tina talking about the print, or herself?

    12. Well at least your Tina recognized that Bette sold a prized posession to support the family, which is more that Ilene’s Tina did. I’m enjoying the story, keep up the good work.

    15. My Faith is gone.Tina is gone forever from Bette life. A poster tells the tale.gone but never forgotten. That is life. Bette needs to go forward now. thanks
