The weekend had come and gone and this week was sailing by as well.
“Hard to believe that tomorrow’s already Thursday, huh?” asked Bette without looking up from the article that she was skimming.
“Tis, tis” said Shelly as she scrolled through her inbox. “What are you doing this weekend?”
“Nothing much” said Bette as she returned the article to the stack on Shelly’s desk. “Dinner Saturday night, errands, the usual.”
“Fascinating” said Shelly as she opened an e-mail.
“And you?” smiled Bette.
“Dinner with who?” asked Shelly as she turned away from her monitor.
“With whom” corrected Bette, “and did you just ignore my question?”
“Yes, I wasn’t listening to you and dinner with whom?” she asked, stressing the whom.
“You admit to not listening to me?” chuckled Bette, always astounded at what came out of Shelly’s mouth.
“Do you always listen to what I say?” she asked.
“Rarely” quipped Bette. “But at least I don’t admit it.”
“Which makes me all the more honest of the two of us” smiled Shelly as she looked up at Bette.
“Now, back to what I was asking. Who are you having dinner with Saturday night?”
“Lee, why?”
“Hmmm” was all Shelly said.
“What does that mean?” asked Bette.
“Nothin’, just hmmm” she smiled as she turned back towards her computer.
“Shelly” said Bette in a warning tone.
“What?” she asked innocently.
“I may regret asking this, but what’s going on in that head of yours?”
Turning back around to look at Bette, she just smiled and said, “Well, I was just wondering with your ex back and all”
Bette just looked at her while shaking her head. After a moment, she finally said, “Her name is Tina and her being back in town has absolutely no bearing on my social plans in the slightest” Bette admonished.
“Ok, ok” said Shelly as she held her hands up in surrender. “I was just wondering.”
“Well, wonder no more because I am having dinner with Lee and am very much looking forward to it” said Bette as she turned to walk back towards her office.

Two days in a row? I love it and I loved this chapter!
skip, unbelievable beautiful tender story
This is a great story. Can’t wait for your next post.
Yipppee twice in the one day. How do you manage to do it, I could see them walking out to the car, I could feel the tension, feel the pain, see the tears. You are a genius please continue. If you had to write a book about B&T I would read it & read it & read it. In fact i have the 6 month chapter which i have printed off and take with me where ever I go, that I dont have a PC to check Fanfiction. By-the way miss 6 months chapter loved it was my favourite of B&T getting back together. You are the best Skip. xx
OMG..im glad Tina is finally breaking the ice..and Bette is leting her to do this..i hope they will talk soon im curious too..lol..cant want for more thanks ;o)
Love it as always..GREAT JOB..THANKS
hey skip – i only have 10 finger nails and 10 toe nails. if i give them all to you now, after i pull them out myself will the pain be easier of going through what you are so elegantly going to put us through?in the words of alice, “here we go”
This story is so strange for me, here you have two people hurting for different reasons. Tina’s hurt is based on the fact that she is finally at that place where she feels able to love and be with Bette but it’s not quite possible. While Bette is hurting cause her being is shrouded in the remnants of losing the woman she loves. This is having the weirdest effect on me. Here I am smiling and having fuzzy feelings while simultaneously experiencing a strong sense of hurt and despair. I can only attribute this to the wicked strokes you are carefully applying to this masterpiece Skippy.
thank you so much for writing, the stories you write are so real and honest. Thankyou for not rushing them, too many good stories are rushed and then over…and thankyou for posting so soon….
Reading 2 chapter’s from Skippy going into a weekend……priceless!!! Pls post when you can. As usual, your writing is superb.
My heart was in my throat the entire time reading this! I don’tknow how many more of these angst ridden chapters I can take, skip! Can u just fast-forward get them together for that talk already! Geez! (thank you)
Much better skip! really good that Bette come and try to talk to Tina great Thanks skip Please continue post soon!!!
Wonderful chapter. Can’t wait till they talk. Can’t wait to read more.
You writing is so soft and real – thanks.
What’s the gift? I almost believe it’s the ring! Please post again soon.
Brava! Two terrific chapters. Bette is softening and that exchange between them at the car had me holding my breath. Loved every word – thanks>
Really enjoyed this post!
Skip, loved it! I love that your reading is so real and true to the characters. I’m glad that they’ll talk and hopefully the gift is something that won’t hurt Tina or make her regret the past more, they need to move forward!
God Skip…you absolutely slay me…every single time!!! Sniff, sniff…thank you.
wow, i was holding my breath the whole time, it’s so intense…at least we are moving forward and bette agreed to talk…oh, she better listen to tina and see her reasons…thanks
Wow, this has got to be one of my favorite running stories on the site, you and Tiff both rock!!!!
Well thats broke the ice.Good chapter,waiting for the next
Delicious, as always.
Excellent, as usual, and maybe even better. My Tina-meter just went from zero to 2. I remain stony-hearted and skeptical, however. I am holding out for an explanation to rival Deborah Kerr’s in ‘An Affair to Remember’ “I was looking up, it was the closest thing to heaven…” Thanks!
skip… i just caught up..love this story… and i’m glad that bette is willing to at least talk with tina… now i have faith…so please be careful with my bette and tina heart…
this is an excellent story.thanks.
*Pumps fist into the air* Yes!! Thank you soo much for giving Bette the grace to be the bigger person and for allowing Tina the chance to explain things to Bette. Love this story, Skip! Thank you!!!
Wow! That’s all I can say. Love the drama, love the angst, love the pace, love that Bette is giving a chance to hear Tina out even though she’s not promising anything. Oh, how your words keep us wanting more each time despite the heartahce…. Thank you.
Great chapter as always!!!
wow……yes!we are getting to the talk! awesome!
My heart can’t take much more of this, it just sits in my mouth.The decriptions in this story just slay me.
skip u only get better!
Skip, great story…but stop torturing us, and get them back together!!!!
Simply Beautiful! I love your writing!
Wknds are my only chance now to catch up on the 50+ stories I started reading 2 months ago…..Lee is very bright; she knows that life as she once knew it is going to definitely change. I just wouldnt have her packing her bags just yet though; I dont want this to be too easy for Tina since she is the one that slithered out in the middle of the night…..As always, thank you for another great chapter……until next wknd I remain……
skippy..you are trying to drive us nuts aren’t you. GOd..please have them talk, have some drama, then start working on their relationship..oh and please get rid of Lee. please post really soon.
