Over the course of the week, she found that she was more and more exhausted. All the time.
She worked in her garden and cooked dinner but didn’t really leave the house unless she needed to. She got up to have coffee with Bette each the morning but usually went back to bed to sleep a couple more hours when Bette left for work or laid down for an afternoon nap.
Bette worked but was home by five every day. She worried about Tina and was having her own trouble sleeping. Knowing today was the day Tina went to see the therapist for the first time, Bette left the office by four, wanting to be home with Tina as soon as possible.
She stopped by the store to get some groceries, using the list Tina gave her that morning. Tina didn’t seem to want to leave the house unless she had an appointment and Bette was trying to do everything she could to provide the healing environment Tina seemed to need.
When the groceries were put away , she went out to the backyard to see Tina, who was on her knees in her garden. Bette didn’t know exactly what Tina was doing, something she called ‘deadheading’, which seemed to involve randomly cutting off the ends of some plants but not others. Whatever it was, Bette could not complain with the results.
“Hey Honey, I brought you some wine” Bette said softly, not wanting to startle her wife, who was more jumpy than normal as of late. Tina stood, and kissed Bette on the mouth.
“I didn’t know you were home. You’re early. You look tired, Babe.”
“I wanted to spend some time with you and hear about your session. You look so pretty right now, Tee. I love seeing you in the garden.”
Her knees were dirty and there was a streak of mud across her forehead but to Bette she looked wonderful. Tina took off her gardening gloves and accepted the wine glass, smiling sweetly. She took a long sip, sighing as she looked at her wife.
Bette did look tired, Tina knew this past month had been difficult for both of them but Bette remained steady, present, a harbor in the tumultuous seas. She loved Bette with a fierceness that scared her sometimes, and wondered if the brunette knew.

Excellent chapter. Love that Bette is there for Tina and vice versa. Donna Kennard is the mastermind. Wow. How could She condone Eric’s attacks? Donna is clearly evil. Not sure about Tom. Tina getting what she deserved from Aaron. This has made my day!!!!! Well done.
Wow…. Donna is the mastermind? What an actress… she has to be a social-psychopath. Bette is right in that there are so many questions that only she can answer. I wonder how much Lucy knows? So Lucy is going to be a teacher? Wonder what happens if her pictures Eric made of her get on the internet? That will not bode well in the educational community.
What really does not make any sense is why Donna would want anything to do with Tina at all. If she were truly in charge, she could have put her thumb on Eric’s drug supply and brought him under control at any time. Why let that scum have anything to do with her daughters? And what came first, the drug business or Eric’s loan (perhaps to get into the drug business)? Was Eric blackmailing Mom? Give him Tina or he goes to the authorities? Real drug cartels usually have ways to shut blackmailers down which usually do not include succumbing to blackmail threats. But now that the government has all of them in custody, then I would presume that we will never know until a book comes out on the case after all the criminals are under lock and key.
I do feel sorry for Tina. She is losing her parents without really knowing the whole story. I understand the need and desire for her to sever all relations, but I would have this curiosity to know the whole story. How did a southern church lady become a drug lord kingpin and did her weak husband know anything about it? That would not mean that Tina would have to see or talk to them again, but she might consider talking to the prosecutor once their part of the case had been settled. They will know things about her parents which will never come out in trial. They would have a time line as to when Donna became a drug lord. They would know if Tom was involved or just caught up in his wife’s web. None of which would save their relationship with Tina, but it might give Tina some form of closure for this episode of her life. For this episode now involves Eric, Tom, Donna and Lucy. And the fact that she is leaving the door open for Lucy and the possibility for a future relationship and should that occur, will always be a reminder of this episode in her life of which she will have so many unanswered questions.
Of course, my suspicion is that Bette has not told her everything she knows about the lives of Donna and Tom and Eric. I think she just gave Tina the bullet points. At some point, she will need to disclose everything she knows so that Tina can put everything in the rear view mirror and move on.
This is an excellent story. This was quite a twist from where I thought this was going. Thank you so much.
I think Tina need to know what happened even if she never gets the why it happened in order to truly move on..
Martha
I took some time to read and re-read your comments. I love how insightful you are. Yes, this chapter probably presented more questions than answer I suppose. I hope to unravel more of it next chapter – when I start writing it of course! Love your comments, please keep them coming they motivate me to keep the story going. Thanks, peace
Wow, didn’t expect that, sweet innocent Donna a druglord?! Wow again!
I agree ???? with Martha’s comment, she said or pointed out what i think or want to know.
Love the support and connection between Bette and Tina. I am glad that Tina is seeing Eloise and has a positive feeling about her. That is important and nice that she has a dog who helped Tina when she had that cleansing cry outburst.
Great chapter BK!
Thank you BiBi
I am glad Tina is seeing Eloise too. Seems like there a few stories in this recent group of stories where Tina is seeing a therapist – clearly the fans want that character to figure her shit out :))
Bk.
Love the total surprise that Donna was/IS the Drug QueenPin!!! Lawdd!!!
I believe that her belittling and vitriol especially toward Tina is out of jeolousy. She probably resented Tina’s innocence as a child and ability to love unconditionally as an adult.
Love that Tina has gotten so much healing from her session with the Eloise.
Thrilled that Tina held her ground in meeting with Aaron. She took her power and didn’t back down to his anger that she was leaving NO matter how angry he was. She didnt owe him anything more than she had already given
DT
Yeah, Aaron had that coming to him. Tina is on to bigger and better things. Can’t wait for her to start working and put all this mess behind her…. Thanks for your comments, I love reading them =
peace
So Donna the Mastermind!
Love this story, thanks for this post.
Glad Bette and Tina are united in the fight.
Please stay safe and well and post the next Chapter soon.
SG
Hang there SG! Hope you are having a better week –
BK
Hanging in there!
Had a word with myself and consequentially had a better week, thank you !!
SG
Good to hear. One day at a time.
My thought is Donna, Academy Award nod, is most definitely the mastermind of manipulation. Tom knew what was going on, thereby he’s body is feeling the effects. Donna wanted Tina home because of her movie access. Lots of ,money there. There has been no true love for Tina or Lucy. Lucy tried to escape toTina but got caught up again.
Please continue this story for like 100+ chapter. This is such a bright spot in this ugliness of COVID-19.
Stay safe.
Thank you Deanna, you too.
