”We need to talk” Bette said softly and smiled
”Yes. We need to talk. Let’s go to the guest house” Tina said smiling back.
Bette pulled Tina out of the chair and Tina led Bette out the door toward the guest house.
They quietly walked through the flower garden until Tina felt Bette stop and turned to see her staring at the rose bushes. She reached in with her free hand and broke a rose off at the stem then handed it to Tina.
Tina took the rose and sniffed it as a tear fell from her eye and rolled down her cheek. Bette reached up and wiped the tear away.
Tina let go of Bette’s hand and immediately wrapped Bette in a hug resting her head on Bette’s shoulder. Bette wrapped her arms around Tina and pulled her close.
”I was so confused back then but I’m not now. What I felt back then I feel it now. When you kissed me that day I liked it. I liked you in a way I was taught was wrong and I didn’t trust myself to be around you without wanting to hold you, to kiss you, or to love you and I did that horrible thing so I wouldn’t be near you. I have never been able to give my heart to anyone since then because you had it when you left” Tina lifted her head up to look at Bette who had tears running down her cheeks. ”And you still have it”
Bette sniffled as she looked at Tina ”You broke my heart that day. I’m not going to lie. But I spent the first year in that cellar by myself before the other two were put in there and all I could think about was you and I clutched that necklace tightly while I sat in the dark not knowing if it was day or night and it kept me going just like you said” Bette moved her right hand from around Tina’s back showing Tina her palm.
Tina looked closely and saw the outline of the angel wing etched in the middle of Bette’s hand and gasped. She brought her hand from around Bette’s waist to grab her hand and pulled it to her lips placing a kiss on the angel wing that had imprinted itself into Bette’s palm.

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.
