    Author Notes:

    Two months later, Tina and Bette weather the aftermath of provocations…. and Flight 5 to LaGuardia is still on the ground.

    Three heads nodded at her in unison as they said “Fine.”

    Tina chuckled.

    “So I guess she’s fine,” she nodded back smiling.

    “I saw her this morning on my way out,” Shane offered.

    “She was heading to the Planet for breakfast to meet Kit and assumed I was on my way there. She offered me a ride.”

    The collective unhappy looks she received made Shane nervous.

    “What? I wasn’t going to lie to her. I just said I was going Santa Monica to have breakfast with Tina.”

    “Did she ask about us?” Dana worried.

    “Dana. We have every right to have breakfast with Tina,” Alice scolded her.

    “Dana doesn’t want Bette to feel left out, regardless of why,” Tina smiled in reassurance at Dana.

    “I told her we were all coming here,” Shane confirmed, shrugging.

    “She seemed okay about it-  Guys… Tina…”

    Shane held Tina’s hand across the table.

    “We all love you. We all love Bette.  This is just going to have to suck sometimes while we get thru it. We will. We’re family and none of us are going anywhere.”

    Tina smiled at Shane’s sincerity, not doubting for a minute that Shane believed that.

                              ***********************

    Bette double-checked the address in her phone, her eyebrows knit together. This was it. This was Tina’s new house. Standing outside the yellow stucco home she gaped at the house’s quintessential charm.

    She felt a mixture of appreciation for the unbelievable job Tina had done in finding herself a new home- along with a familiar new sadness. ‘Who’d miss our house with this to come home too?’ she wondered.

    Bette had been feeling that mixture of pride in Tina and sadness for herself a lot lately as she learned secondhand about Tina’s decisions after leaving her.

    She’d hear from one friend or another how Tina had been snatched up by Alpha after putting out only a few ‘feelers’. The studio was more than pleased to have her back overseeing several of their new projects.  How Tina had moved to the beach. How she’d continued to work with Oscar’s group on a volunteer basis.

    Bette scowled thinking of her own achievements the last couple months. It was a short list. Beyond going into work each day and sharing ‘take out’ with the occasional friend stopping in to check on her, she rarely saw anyone or did anything. She didn’t feel sorry for herself so much as she just felt sorry.

    5. hey zuzu good to see another post for this great story. I love the backgound short and the depth you bring to tins and bette’s relationship. Can’t wait to see where this flight takes our starcrossed lovers. Pps

    14. It case I had forgotten the wrenching tearing apart that happens to one’s insidesduring a breakup – you certainly are making it real for me. You write really well. Guess who’s being added to my “Favorite Authors” list?

    18. Yes this is so great. I love the way you are filling in the chasm after Provocations…how Bette then, so wounded, and Bette now, swagger, seem so different yet quintessentially Bette. Thanks
