    Author Notes:

    “Do not assume” her therapist told her, often. “If you need to know what Tina is thinking, how she is feeling then ask her. There is no reason to hide. Just ask”. This was the hardest of the changes Bette had made. In the past she misread signals from Tina or did not confront Tina

    “Do not assume” her therapist told her, often. “If you need to know what Tina is thinking, how she is feeling then ask her. There is no reason to hide. Just ask”. This was the hardest of the changes Bette had made. In the past she misread signals from Tina or did not confront Tina when things felt off. She never asked. Being vulnerable was hard, really hard – but going backwards was harder.

    “We are more than ok, Honey” Tina responded, her head resting back on her headrest as well. “I have had a difficult day and an emotional couple of weeks. But you and me? We are good, we are fantastic, we are everything to me. Everything”. Bette smiled and reached over to tuck a piece of hair behind Tina’s ear. She ran her thumb over Tina’s cheek and looked her in the eye. Nope. There was still something there, Tina had more to say she knew it.

    This is where talking got hard for Bette. She could sense something was off. Tina wasn’t opening up despite being asked. Her reaction to the Gallery name was emotional but there was more going on than just that, Bette suspected. It was in the way she held her shoulders, in the way she rubbed her hands together and the worry in her eyes. It was there in her posture and in her smile.

    In the past, Bette would have ignored this feeling, this red flag. She would sense something but not ask about it, it was easier to hide, easier to continue as if everything was ok while the distance grew. Her therapist taught her to react differently. “Listen to your instincts, speak up when you sense something is off” she was told. “If you are wrong, great…but if you are right then a conversation can happen to resolve an issue before it festers. Either way, you are connecting instead of disengaging. The opposite of love is not hate – it’s indifference – and that is a slow, painful death of any relationship”.

    She dropped her head then looked up again into Tina’s eyes. “What is then Tee? Talk to me, please”. Spoken quietly, earnestly and with a hint of pleading, Bette Porter was fully present in this moment. She was not going to let Tina continue to evade her question. Tina hesitated only a second. She knew she needed to talk to her wife. Relief flooded her, spreading throughout her body like a warm breeze and making her close her eyes briefly and sigh. “Not here Baby, let’s go inside and pour some wine and get in our pajamas. I do want to talk to you, I need to talk to you…but let’s talk where we can also touch and be together, instead of sitting in the car”.

    1. Hi BK,

      Another fantastic chapter!!!

      I am so proud that they are talking about their feelings and how Bette expressed her hurt to Tina. She was so right that they have to share and trust each other so that nobody can hurt them and try to come in between them.

      I love your writing style!!!

      Looking forward to the next chapter!!!

      • BiBi
        Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment. Glad you liked it. if only…if only they related a little more like this on the show. Oh well! So far this story has written itself, working on part five now…

        Thanks
        BK

    3. Fantastic !!! and yeah that’s true, I found season 6 a little botched, with more questions than answers and that’s why I’m infuriated at the thought of the new show, we’ll never get the answers !

      But … good job, please post soon.

    4. Coming back after some pretty painful but essential weeks – a personal journey with, as your Tina said here, some “good cries” – , finally I’m able to reward myself savouring this new wonderful chapter of yours, my dear talented author !

      How I love your B&T !
      All the talks we would have dream to hear at this so precious moment in their new connection, all the tender words that were missed here and there – especially from Tina, because for me Bette was always the one to express her love for her more often and, yes, in a much tender way in the show…

      Yes, I truly love your B&T…
      Taking the time.
      Savouring,
      And they did (as you wrote it !).
      Savouring each other and sharing with each other.
      Each moment, each word, each feeling, each emotion…
      Tenderness and passion mixed in such a precious way – true love indeed !

      I’m deeply touched by your story, BK (Beautiful and Kind !), really I am…
      You’re acting like a painter here, with a wide and contrasted range of brushstrokes, here and there – and so you offer to us, true Tibette lovers, a vision of our beloved two to cherish…
      Thank you, so much, for this gift !

      … and now I cannot wait your next chapter, adding my very best pout and smile *wink*

      • Sorry to hear you have had a rough time of late, hopefully you are on the other side of what ever is going on! Thank you for your kind words (again) and for loving this story. I agree that Bette was always more tender, and open about her feelings and Tina was more reserved on the show. I am hoping to show that Tina still needs some work in this area, but that she is finally trying. I cherish their relationship too and hope we can all experience something close to this in our own lives…..
        Look for the next chapter Friday, assuming I can get my work done this week. It is written but I proofread obsessively and often change the story on the final read through….
        Have a good week –
        BK

        • Thank you, dear BK, for your kind words – yes, I did the more difficult indeed.

          And I’ll look for your new chapter Friday or later (take your time, I fully understand your writer’s search of perfection !) – it’s a date ;-)

          Take great care of you !

          A.

    5. That was a wonderful chapter, I love how they talk everything out and think before reacting. hope Jodie really gets what is coming to her. Hope to read another chapter soon.
