    TiBette 10-ch. story; reflections of their past with the present. Continuation of “Looking Glass” posted 2/9/08

    ~~~~~

    Spring, 2008 – Dr. Foxworthy’s office, afternoon

         "She’s softer now. She’s lost a lot of her rigidity." Tina smiled, recalling the first time she encountered the unfamiliar but delightful sight of clutter strewn throughout Bette’s orderly home after keeping Angelica all weekend. Then her smile faded. "But there’s a reservation about her – like she’s holding something back."

         "Such as?"

         Tina shrugged lightly. "Fear. We both are, really – afraid of screwing up again. Maybe I’m just better at hiding it."

         Dr. Foxworthy studied her for a moment, and then said gently, "Tina, you had a chance to move on. You had gotten past each other’s affairs and successfully sharing custody of your daughter; you have your own home; a fulfilling career. But you chose to go back – to go back to a woman who is still incomplete. More importantly, have you decided that she’s incomplete because she’s incapable of growth or is it because of you?"

    Fall, 2007 – Shaolin Studios, Recording Studio #3, morning

         Tina nodded politely while the composer relayed the underscore. She removed her headphones and gave him the go-ahead; they shook hands and she left the studio. As Tina waited with a few people for the elevator, she noticed a floral deliveryman among them. Suddenly feeling claustrophobic, she headed down the hallway and pushed the heavy door out to the stairs.

         Leaning against the concrete wall, Tina inhaled the cool air, wondering what had triggered that reaction. Then she remembered the bouquet of flowers that Bette left at her door after that first night with Helena.

         As with Bette, it was difficult to accept Helena’s adoration at first: why would these beautiful, powerful, magnetic women be attracted to her? Helena Peabody was a trainwreck waiting to happen. It was obvious now to Tina that without the accent and wealth, she damn near fell into the same trappings that she had escaped from with Bette. But then, Bette didn’t have ulterior motives … What about me? Why did I help Bette get back with Jodi? She tried to tell herself that it was what friends do, but Tina couldn’t help the feeling that Bette’s espousements about the art professor seemed forced. And the way she kept prodding her about Kate … she was too enthusiastic, too insistent.

    1. Bette’s managed to come a heck of a long way whilst standing virtually still. Not to say she hasn’t changed, she has. Maybe trying to avoid conflict is leading to this aura of incompletion. They’re both holding back so much they’re not even meeting in the middle. I think they’ve been through the worst… but they’ll have to maybe have to *really* have it out, get all their cards on the table in order to get past their joint failures once and for all. But I guess that’s what Dan Foxworthy’s for, isn’t it? Anyway, thanks for the chapter, LM.

    3. whrn you become a parent. A messes house is second to you loving and caring for that child. You can always have a clean house after the child is grown. Tina and Bette both have change They both need to think of what they both did to bring yhis on. thanks

    4. Can’t blame Tina for bringing Helena to Dana’s party. She and Bette were separated, plua earlier that day Bette had been snippy to her on the phone! And there was going to be dancing at the party, and Tina didn’t deserve to be the wallflower of the bunch.

    5. I as am glad that Tina is coming to terms with her own errors with the demise of Bette and Tina. Maybe with this open-mind that seems to take place at times, there is some hope for them.

    6. Wow! You;re an amazing and gifted writer. I just discovered this story and read all the chapters leading up to the present chapter. I can relate to your observations and insights of relationships. I especially love the prologue w/the therapist. PPS.

    7. To Techgirl: Thank you for all your lovely compliments, but I could barely come up with enough material for this story! If you have ideas, EM via this website. Best, LMG

    8. Their problems were never with each other but seems mostly with theirselves..they complain all the time about wanting to move forward but never actually taking the time to let go of the past. .they don’t see how truly lucky they were, that kind of love that they have for each other..people go their whole life searching for it and never find it..but they got a chance at it twice be happy and enjoy each other before its really over for good
