Jodi: Hi
Bette: Hi
Jodi: I thought we were going to talk more last night?
Bette: You ended the conversation without waiting for a response from me. Now you want an explanation?
Jodi: Well I see the cooling off period hasn’t worked. Should we just say good-night and leave it at that?
Bette: So now I can’t be mad?
Jodi: Don’t you think you’re getting all worked up about nothing?
Bette: Are you trying to push my buttons?
Jodi: No. I just don’t see what you are so pissed off about.
Bette: I don’t see why I owe you the explanation today which I would happily have given you yesterday if you hadn’t been so intent on having the last word.
Jodi: That’s not what it was about
Bette: Oh no? Then tell me what it was about
Jodi: The conversation was getting out of control. I knew you were in work and that there would come a point where you would have to end it and I figured things were bad enough where we left them without letting them get worse before we had to stop.
Bette: Did it occur to you that communicating that to me might be more useful than controlling the situation?
Jodi: No, I’m impetuous you know that
Bette: I do and it can be a positive characteristic but when you are doing things which affect other people you need to reign it in
Jodi: Point taken.
Bette: Good
Jodi: Are you going to tell me where you were last night or am I still being punished
Bette: For god’s sake it’s not about punishing you. Get over yourself. I was here but Tina came over. We had to open the package from Dana. By the time she left it was late and I was feeling a little…
Bette stopped typing, the next word was emotional, or vulnerable and she suddenly realised that she didn’t want to share this weakness with Jodi. She deleted the last part and tried again.
Bette: For god’s sake it’s not about punishing you. Get over yourself. I was here but Tina came over. We had to open the package from Dana. It was late when she left and I had an early meeting this morning I didn’t think it was a good idea to carry on our conversation then.

That was a very realistic dialogue. Great job on this!!! PPS
It’s so true to their characters. THERE IS HOPE FOR BETTE AND TINA. I loved them from the being. Tina isn’t evil when she’s with Bette. But when she is alone she is evil. Keep up the good workLove your Story.
long distance relationships don’t work, especially 3000 miles apart, although I do like Bette and Jodi (sorry Bette/Tina fans) I also do not see it lasting. Another great chapter, well two actually since I just read previous one!
IM break up… wow let me find some boxes and help bette pack jodie’s shit and ship it!! what a great chapter!!
Thank God! The character of Jodie seemed to have so much potential before she was actually introduced on the show. She both annoyed and intriguied me almost immediatley, but her and Bette just never wouldv’e lasted. Yay, for instant messaging! Glad things are finally over between them… And I can’t believe I’m going to say this (I mean REALLY can’t) but a scene showing Jenny’s response to her letter is a little overdue. P.S. My comments are almost a month later than everyone else’s, not even sure if you go back and read the ones for old chapters, but I’ll keep on posting. Great damn story!
i’m sorry that it ends that way,but yyyyeeeeeeeeees finaly now here comes tina thats the way it should be.
The entire dialogue is amazing, very realistic and well written. You’re a very talented writer, I admire how you manage to write with such insight which does justice to every character, no-one is the underdog here =) Thanks, and keep going!
I agree, your dialogue was incredibly realistic and strong. This story is becoming one of my favorites because of your talent. Thank you!
I am a silent reader but I had to comment. THe dialogue was very real and totally relateable. I’ve been there before.Hopefully Bette will begin to reavaluate her feelings for Tina great job.
Thanks for the update, wondering! I echo the other comments on the great dialog. You write all the characters very realistically. I don’t think Jodi and Bette belong together. It may have been a decent rebound relationship for Bette, but, would never work long-term. PPS!
