Love Lost, Chapter 3
“T… I mean Tina,” Bette said after several long seconds, correcting the term of endearment she didn’t feel authorized to use at this moment. She waited patiently until beautiful hazel eyes met her own. “We really need to talk about this.” Tina nodded in agreement, looking down again for a split second.
“I know, and we will. I just… need to think some more. Is that all right?” Bette nodded. “And you need to get some sleep. You don’t look like you’ve slept in weeks.” Bette shrugged, not wanting to explain at the moment that it had actually been months since she had gotten a good night’s sleep. Three months to be exact.
“Look… why don’t you go lay down in the bedroom. I’m going to take a walk around the lake, and we can talk when I get back.”
“What about Angelica?” Bette asked as Tina turned towards the door.
“I’m leaving her in capable hands,” she smiled, and then walked out of the cabin closing the door behind her. Smiling, Bette stared after her for a few seconds before walking back to the bedroom where Angelica was still fast asleep.
Sunlight filtered in through the windows in the room, allowing Bette a better look at how much her daughter had grown. Quietly sliding a nearby rocking chair over, she sat down and rocked never taking her eyes from the sleeping little girl. She wanted to remember her like this forever. Bette leaned back in the rocker and slowly felt her body relax. Her eyes became heavy and her breathing deeper. Then, for the first time in three months, Bette fell asleep easily with a hint of a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.
***
Tina sat down in a familiar cove she and Bette had made some memories in all those years ago. Looking out over the lake she sighed, feeling the tears starting to well up again.
She felt so torn. For almost 2 years she felt lost to herself. After discovering Bette’s infidelity, she lost complete faith in who they were as a couple and, just as traumatic, herself. She loved Bette for all she was worth and then some. Bette was her world, and though flawed she was able to see beyond that and find perfection. It felt perfect to be held at night by this strong woman. She felt safe and loved and needed, like no other relationship before.

The Tibette Ship is slowly righting itself. I hope that both women are able to really sit down and talk about all the pain and suffering that both have endured the past 2 years. I am so looking forward to reading what comes next.
Yep glad Tina now talking and yeah go fight for your Bette and never let her go. OK post soon please, thanks!
That’s right FIGHT Tina! She is afterall your daughter’s mother and the love of your life!
Fantastic as usual. Love how your giving each of them their moments to relive and remember. I’m a true believer in all roads eventually lead to where we were destined to be. So they hit a fork in the road, all they have to do is for once in the last few years be honest with each other. What’s that I read, heading to S.F, coming for our parade or is it just the Grand Marshal you want to see?
