“Yeah.” Tina opened the door as fast as she could and stepped into the early morning light, quickly shutting the door behind her.
Alone on the front porch step, Tina closed her eyes and drew in a deep breath of fresh air. It took her a few seconds to finally make her first move to her SUV still parked in the driveway.
*****
Once she got home Tina climbed into her own bed grateful to be able to sleep off the rest of her hangover. In the early afternoon, she emerged from the shower in just a robe with her wet hair wrapped in a towel perched on the top of her head. She figured that since Jenny was due in Canada to scout locations today, she should probably check her work email.
Booting up her laptop, she sat at the small desk in her home office waiting patiently for the screen to display the icons she needed to login to her account. Nothing in her work inbox was so pressing that couldn’t wait until Monday.
Knowing that her busy schedule rarely allowed her to catch up on her own social media, Tina checked her personal email account. Marking most as junk mail, she noticed the two new messages auto-generated from OurChart whenever a new video podcast was posted to the site. The most recent subject line was “Daryl Brewer Balls with Boys.” Having already seen the clips on CNN the day before, Tina quickly deleted the email.
The second email was about a week older entitled, “Deaf, Down, and Dirty with Artist, Jodi Lerner.”
Sucking in a breath, Tina felt like she couldn’t get away from Jodi. Whether she was shamelessly making out with Bette at the Planet, or constantly being brought up in conversation by Bette, or evident in the way their daughter would often try to communicate with Tina through sign language, Jodi was always there. And now, as a featured interview on one of her best friend’s websites, it was overwhelming for Tina. But like witnessing a horrible car accident she couldn’t turn away.
Opening the correspondence, she immediately clicked the link that redirected her to the video file. Pausing her index finger over the touchpad of her laptop, Tina closed her eyes and double clicked to begin playing the video.

Very nice story; it has been a very long time since I read a new post of the events in TLW, thanks for bringing it back, I wish you would write more frequently. Is there any possibility for you to continue ‘Playing By Heart’? that is also a great story, pity that it is unfinished. Thank you si much for posting I really enjoyed this one.
A very nice story. Thanks for the reminder of a great series and some wonderful scenes.
Can I add a plea for you to continue with “Playing by Heart” Please. Even if this is not possible please post again soon.
Great story! It is great to read about Tina’s thoughts and how she came to the conclusions that Bette is not in love with Jodi and how they still fail at communication.
And most important that she decided to go after Bette.
Like the others i would like to see a update from “Playing by Heart ”
I really appreciate this short stories, thank you for posting them!
Great read. I’ve missed your story telling. Glad you posted. Thanks
Thank you so much for filling out, this gap in history.
All Stars .
Thank you so much for this post, I can`t wait for more ,please post soon.
Thanks for the new story, I, too share the sentiment of the other readers hoping you will continue with the story “Playing By Heart”. Please come back soon!
Happy to read this post and as others have said, would really like to see more of “Playing by Heart” thank you. Hope they will start talking to each other more and not “at” one another. And if Bette would just admit to herseld how she really feels about Tina then the rest will fall into place as it should. Thanks for the post.
Hey ladies! Rather than reply to each of your comments, I figured I would just leave a general comment thanking you all for reading this one and for your resounding encouragement to finish Playing By Heart.
Would you be mad if I told you I have three more chapters written and they have been waiting in the vault until I was done with the entire story? Yes, I have been holding out on you, but I have been updating and revising the original story to reflect up-to-date technology and fix some grammatical and mechanical errors. It’s taken me over a year to do this, like I said in my author’s note above, writing and proofing is difficult with three jobs to keep me busy and very little time for a social life (let alone a love life, but that’s not important right now).
I’m taking a page from some of the other older writers and am going to re-post the entire story in one book that way you can easily find it all in one place.
I appreciate all the encouragement and the demand is overwhelming. I’m very touched that the story means so much to you. Although there is a bit of pressure to make sure it’s a worthwhile ending. Hopefully it won’t disappoint.
Hugs and kisses to you all,
MeLL
“she truly did want Bette to be happy; that it’s what you do when you love someone – you let them go, even if it’s at the expense of your own happiness”
Certainly one of the most painful yet true thing…
At least, we all know that Tina will be able to break this curse and get her beloved Bette again.
An other painful yet true thing : fanfictions can really be a solace for those who will never have this kind of chance in their lives…
Reading your note, here, from two years ago, I’m truly grateful to be there right now, discovering your stories so many years after I thought I lost the old site forever…
Life is such a rainbow of mixed emotions, it’s quite fascinating.
So you found some of my old stories, eh? Thanks for giving them a read! It’s always nice to see new readers dust off these old posts and bring them back to my attention. Hope you enjoyed this one!!
