Remember Who You Are 36
She liked watching the way Bette’s body would move seamlessly from one position to another. One morning, Tina came out to find her own yoga mat next to Bette’s. Neither said a word and Tina joined in with the poses she could do. It was now part of their routine.
At times, Bette would quietly leave her mat to reposition Tina or help with hand placement, but for the most part it was a silent exercise that both enjoyed. Afterwards, they would sit facing each other, cross legged, and talk.
Slowly, it seemed like things were getting easier, a break in the clouds. Tina smiled more, would seek Bette out for comfort in the form of a cuddle or a long hug. They had not been physically intimate since the day Tina found out about her mother’s role and that worried Bette too.
Although Tina was affectionate with Bette by holding hands or wanting to be close, she told her partner that making love right now would strip her of any emotional self-control she had left. She was holding on by a thin thread and Tina was terrified that lovemaking would tip her into the emotional abyss.
It did not make any sense to Bette, who felt like sex would help Tina feel connected, loved by someone else. Held. She expressed this to Tina, gently and without blame, which was difficult for Bette. In the past she would not have expressed her needs or concerns, and the issue would fester. Tina promised to talk to Eloise about it when she saw her again.
More often than not, in the middle of the night, Tina would find her way to Bette, snuggling as close as she could. She liked resting her head against Bette’s chest, their legs entwined and arms around each other. There was something incredibly soothing about that contact and after a day of rehashing old wounds with Eloise Tina needed to feel Bette’s soft skin against her own before falling back asleep.
Bette would lay awake for another twenty, thirty minutes. Grateful for the heartbeat she could feel next to her, thankful for the quiet stillness and the reminder that they still had each other.
She had a sense that Tina was slowly getting stronger, shedding the past like a warm coat in the middle of spring.

I have really enjoyed this story. Eric got off too easily. I sure hope Tina can deal with seeing and getting involved with her mother, the dragon lady. And that she remembers that the bathroom is the unsafe room!!! Stay away from the bathroom, Tina!!!!!!! Channel Bette and get this over with so you can finally get on with your lives. It worries me that Tina has kind of closed herself off a little from Bette. It’s good that she is getting therapy and that Bette is there for her. This story has been an emotional roller coaster. Really enjoying it. Just want Tina to be happy and whole and able to give herself completely to Bette.
Eloise is really good….. Tina’s “I’m protecting myself” is so revealing. What is she protecting herself from? This needs a little more in depth analysis by Eloise. and Tina.
So Tina is going to investigate what happened in the Donna Kennard- gate. So Eric is dead, and Tom is dying. Lucy is hanging around the edges. And Bette and Tina are trying to get their lives back in order. And its off to North Carolina to visit with Cocoa Puffs Donna. Wow…. this should be interesting.
This is really a good story. I like that Tina is wanting to know what happened and maybe she can help the FBI as well.
I also hope that Bette and Tina get back to the intimacy of love making rather than just an emotional and physical release of fucking. Both have their place in a relationship but these two deserve the intimate connection of their souls, minds and hearts – not just their bodies. Tina has been on a journey for the past few days (weeks) of rediscovery of herself. She still needs to see what part Bette will play in her recovery. This is a start – a good start. Eloise is right. Tina must allow Bette into her soul and allow her to experience it all – the good, the bad and the ugly.
Thank you for this story….Hanging with it for the long haul…
Thanks for this latest post on a great story.
Look forward to more.

This story continues to be very intriguing even as some threats are being eliminated!! Eric bumped off, but still have to deal with Dragon Breath Don.
Really like that Tina continues to speak honestly in her sessions with Eloise. She admits that she has been running from full emotional submission to Bette because she’s trying to protect herself. . . From falling into the abyss. Looking forward to her being able to eventually tell why she feels threatened.
Like Bette, love the assertive, no-nonsense Tina! Chuckled when she told the Agents that they were paying for the lil trip to NC and that they were going to stay in a very nice hotel with spa!! Think Bette may get her bones jumped again ????????.
But seriously, Tina’s true test of the emotional strength gained, will be when it’s just her and Mom, face to face, in the home where she grew up. Lot’s of ghosts & demons swirling around in that joint!!????????
GO Tina!!!
Wonderful chapter!
I don’t think I come up with any new insights from what the others already said.
A great story!
One tip, warning: Tina avoid the bathroom at all times. Learn from your mistakes and avoid unnecessary danger !!!!

I love how you write their relationship. How they easily switch roles as the strong one to support the other.
My oh my, what is Tina going to do about the making love issue. Bette is a sensual woman and sex is an important part of how she show her love to Tina. At some point this will become an issue. A good fuck is great but only a bandaid. Very interesting issue to explore give the emotional trauma Tina has endured.

God, it’s truly moving, for me, to see your Tina begins the long, painful but ultimately cathartic and liberating journey with a gifted and full of empathy’s professional,,, It’s so worth it and, yes, she must let Bette be there with her all along this journey because they’re soulmates.
Your story is such an emotional reading, emotions are palpable…
Thank you so, so much for sharing !!
And, please, take great care of you.
