“I never fell out of love with you Bette. Never, not since that first day I saw you, have I been able to control the love I have for you. I often wonder if in reality as wonderful as it was we were actually cursed by the fact that we fell so deeply in love so quickly. In those beginning years it was all so easy. This love that we had made me feel like a super-hero, utterly invincible. I remember all these conversations I had with Dana about coming out. She kept asking me how I did it, how I went from identifying as this straight woman in all my social circles to suddenly being part of this serious lesbian relationship. All I could ever really tell her was that if she met the right person she would understand that none of the rest of it matters.
As for finding you attractive, that was never an issue. Somehow, somewhere along the way though I stopped communicating that to you. When I sit and think about where it all went wrong, about the moments where I could have done something different that would have changed things, I often think about that day in the doctor’s office when we tried the last insemination.”
“Ugh” groaned Bette as she felt her face flush still embarrassed by the memory. “That was so humiliating.”
“I know, but you know what the worst part is? I was lying there on that couch and all I was thinking was what on earth is she doing? Does this woman not realise the power that she has over me. All you had to do was get me aroused, and all you would have had to do, to do that was pull up a chair by my head and say the right things. No sticking your head under some drape worrying about who was going to come through the door. I felt like I couldn’t ask that of you though, it was a level of intimacy we had strayed away from, so it was easier to just let you do what you did.”
“Tina, how can you sit around and think about things like that and still imagine spending your forever with me?”
“Because, when you know better you can do better. I know a lot of things now that I didn’t know then. I know that the love we shared is unique and irreplaceable. I know that spending the rest of my life with anyone but you would be settling for second best. I know that as amazing as what we could have together would be, it would still be flawed and vulnerable and that it would be both our responsibilities to fight together to protect it. I hope that if we get another chance, we don’t take it for granted, we know better now, so we have to do better, we have to be watchful” Tina finished her passionate declaration her voice filled with emotion.

Another excellent chapter, wonderingaloud! Incredibly well-written — you captured all the emotions so well. I am a Danish shipper (in case you didn’t know), but, I love how you are writing the Bette/Tina relationship. Thanks so much for the update!

The last chapter with Alice and Tasha, then this chapter with Bette and Tina…you are truly at the top of your game with this story. Your writing is so powerful! Thanks!
This is so well-written. It is alwys a pleasure to read carefully thought out explanations of B&T’s hopes and fears.
Yes, Dana’s letters to Bette and Tina did what she intended they made two stubborn women think and then talk to one another. This chapter was wonderful!
