”Kit. I’ve moved on. I let all the anger go and I have forgiven Christina. I mean Tina as that is what she goes by now. But she can’t forgive herself Kit. She has suffered enough by carrying around that guilt for 20 years don’t you think?” Bette asked as Kit sat pondering
”Yeah, I guess so Baby Sis. I guess so. I didn’t help matters much as I was trying to get clean at the time Daddy and Maxie were killed in that accident. I blame myself still for that and when I showed up on the Kennard’s doorstep and they told me what happened I felt guilt as well ” Kit paused and sighed then stared at Bette ”You still love her don’t you?” Kit prompted
Bette stared at Kit then slowly nodded her head ”I never stopped”
*******
Tina had come back from the flower garden and finally sat down to eat something while Tricia and Alana were upstairs with her mother. Tina didn’t hear the front door when Bette walked inside stopping in the entrance of the kitchen and leaned up against it smiling at Tina eating.
”It’s about time you ate something” Bette said as Tina jumped dropping her fork that hit the floor ”Oh Tina. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. Here let me get that”
Bette lunged toward the table and bent down and put her hand on the fork just as Tina bent down from her chair and ended up putting her hand on top of Bette’s.
Bette and Tina locked eyes with each other. Neither one moving their hands from touching the other
”I’m sorry I startled you” Bette said softly
”I’m sorry I lied about what you did” Tina said squeezing Bette’s hand that was still touching the fork on the floor
Bette took her free hand and placed it on Tina’s cheek.
”I know” Bette said as she gently rubbed Tina’s cheek ”You still have the prettiest hazel eyes I have ever seen”
”You still have the softest hands I have ever felt” Tina said as she rubbed her hand over Bette’s.
Bette picked the fork up off the floor with Tina’s hand still on top of hers and set it on the table. Bette then intertwined her fingers with Tina’s.

Tina…Tina! Think girl…. Bette walk into your life 24 hours ago and you want her to start dating you? You want to be with her regardless of the circumstances and the fact that you feel so guilty about your actions of 20 years ago? Your way or the highway? Seems like a bit controlling and unreasonable. Being friends first sounds like a reasonable idea to me. Don’t you want to get to know this Bette…this woman who has been through so much trauma and accomplishment? Don’t you want her to know you? And to be sure that her forgiveness of your actions were well placed? Just making such a request would be seem a bit neurotic to me. Just go with the flow for a while, she going to be your mother’s live in nurse for a while. After making such a demand, some people would call the office and tell them to send another nurse. She may care for the girl you were, but she does not know the woman you are except that you are attracted to her but are feeling the guilt. What if after you have resolved your guilt problem, she does not seem so attractive any more? Hell, you’ve been a straight girl forever… are you really ready for this? Take some time to think about this…do you want to break her heart again?
Good story….cannot wait to see what happens next.
Totally agree with Martha. Not much to add. What starts in chaos ends in chaos. Take a breath, Tina. All is not black and white. It seems a little of the determined to get her own way Tina still lurks. She can’t change 20 years in five minutes. Is it love or to assuage her guilt? She can’t know. Yet. Interesting way to incorporate Alice and Shane. I like this story.
Agree with you and Martha. Tina wants to make up for lost time and “that is the “guilt” that Bette is talking about! She needs to want for Bette to really be healed from a broken heart. Hmmmm
Ditto to all of you. Tina’s reaction seemed very teenager-like but I’d say that her thoughts and emotions are all over the place after the revelation. She should go for a long walk to think, sit with her mother and tell her all of what was happening and going through her mind. Sometimes it helps to give voice to the things which are battling in the head. Grab the chance to have an honest friendship with Bette first, everything more will come naturally (or not) when the time is right.
Martha, Billy and DumplinT have captured my thoughts exactly. Tina would benefit from therapy herself to deal with the 9 year old guilt filled little girl and understand those confusing feelings before she embarks on any type of relationship with Bette or anyone. Glad she let Matt go, but she wasn’t honest with the reason why. She’s emotionally immature. I hope Bette’s sense of responsibility doesn’t push her to be with Tina prematurely. She’s got a lot of scars whether she is willing to admit it or not.
Great storyline. Looking forward to more.
On the same wavelength as Martha, Billy, Dumplin T and BAT here. This is a very nieve Tina and Bette can see it.
Love the connection between Bette and Shane and Alice and the storyline it gives us.
Looking forward to more so please post soon.
Stay safe
Agree with you about liking Shane, Alice and Bette’s friendship. She is well aware of the necessity of drawing barriers by telling S & Al that are going to have to find jobs and places of their own after graduation.
She doesn’t mind helping, but all of them need physical distance. Even Tina has an apartment as opposed to the easy option of staying in the guest house
Can´t wait for more.
