“Bette…” Tina paused and contemplated her words carefully. “I always think of you when I see gerbers. Always.”
“I always think of you when I hear Vivaldi,” Bette replied quietly. “or when I smell your perfume…eat a perfect meal…see a gerber daisy.”
“Why does this have to be so difficult?” Tina sighed, her frustration coming through loud and clear.
“Nothing worth having is ever easy,” Bette said. “If we’re meant to be together, spending the time to make sure it’s right will keep a lot of people from getting hurt.”
“I think I liked you better when you just did what you thought was best for you.”
“I’m not sure being with you is what’s best for me,” Bette replied. “But you’re making an excellent case in your favour.”
“I did consider studying law before film school won me over,” Tina laughed. “I know you could have rejected the idea outright, and I’m thankful you didn’t.”
“Tina, can I say something without it getting us into too much trouble?”
“That’s a disconcerting introduction,” Tina replied. “Hard for me to judge without hearing what it is.”
“I’ll say it and that will mark the end of our conversation for tonight, how about that? Then we won’t feel obligated to talk it to death,” Bette suggested.
“Okay,” Tina agreed, perplexed at what Bette could possibly have to say.
“I still dream about the first time we made love,” Bette said. “It was the most perfect day I can imagine, even still.”
“Thank you for saying that,” Tina whispered.
“Thanks again for all the reminders over the day today. Good night.”
Bette hung up the phone and set it down before taking another sip of her wine.
She knew from previous experience that letting the conversation continue would mean tempting both of them to turn the talk in a potentially calamitous direction.
“I’m not ready yet,” she said aloud.
The wall was still up around her heart, but Tina was effectively lobbing a very convincing argument over it.
Chapter 9
“Dinner was delicious,” Bette said as Tina walked into the living room from putting Angelica to bed. “You know you have a gift when you can please adults and children at the same sitting. I never have that kind of success with her.”

I love your stories, i read them more than once over the years.
But i don’t have time to reread this story, have to work very early in the morning , but i hope to read it when i am back tomorrow. I am looking forward to it!
You are a incredible writer and i do hope that you will find the time to write more! For now, thank you again for returning!
I was so happy to see your name again, I love your stories, off to read now,, but please continue to post more stories.,, please post soon.
Thanks for the shoutout! You’re an incredible writer with a natural style that pulls the reader in and makes one sorry when the chapter/story ends. Your writing demands rereading many times. It’s just that enjoyable. :-)
Brilliant, thanks so much for this. 62 Pages of pleasure.
Enjoy your stories which are good to read more than once.
Look forward to keeping on swimming :-)
I love this story, as I always enjoy reading your work!
Loved it, thanks so much. You are such a good writer!
Glad you are back,I love your stories.
I certainly remember this story and I love it more now. Thanks for updating the language so the profane language is present. It’s not that I am a complete potty mouth but let’s be realistic. Several of the stories that have transferred over have blanks or asterisks instead of the actual language. In my opinion, when this happens, the stories lose some of their authenticity and the characters lose their edge. I realize that it takes effort to fill in the blanks especially in longer stories. So thanks for doing that.
I find stories harder to read with the asterisks inserted…it’s like a jolt of reality interfering with my escapism. I had to get to the task of editing them out. I do plan to work on more stories; some easier than others because of where the files are. This story was first posted almost 10 (!) years ago, so the digital file was more challenging to retrieve. I’m not much for cursing, but the occasional well placed F-bomb can really get someone’s attention.
@JKS I can’t believe this story is almost 10 years old! It reads now as fresh as it did then. I really love your stories because they are so well written with realism, humor, sarcasm and authenticity. It also helps that for us ORs (Original Readers), it follows canon for the characters and storylines. :-)
WOW, what a fabulous surprise seeing you back here, JKS! So glad you found your way back here and have even edited! Let me know if you have any questions or need any help!
Wonderful story. Thanks for sharing again!
Thanks for your effort of editing and for giving us this wonderful story again.
It’s still as beautiful as I remember it from reading your story for the first time a few years ago.
Finally I managed to finish reading!
I was slowly reading this story.
And I confess that it was a great trip.
Pretty and wonderful.!
And to think that have passed since the 10 years, but
It remains very current.
The entire universe.
Don’t remember seeing this before and it was wonderful, took me back a ways. So great to have you back giving us something to read from you. Wish other former writers would come back to us, all of you are valued and missed greatly. So many of the stories are not completed, would be so nice if they were. Again welcome back, looking forward to more. Thanks.
Loved this! I love your writing. I’m so glad I’ve come across your stories, be it years later but better late than never lol
