“Let me get this straight” said Alice. It was Monday morning and she and Tina were sitting at The Planet having a cup of coffee.
“You and Bette have this really intense conversation, a little foolin’ around is involved, you two come to an agreement that you want to make things work and Bette still moves to Carmel?” she asked incredulously.
“That pretty much sums things up” said Tina as she blew across the top of her coffee in attempt to cool it.
“And no sex was involved?”
“No sex was involved” admitted Tina.
“Wow” was Alice’s only response.
“Yeah” sighed Tina, “wow.”
“So, you’re gonna do the long distance thing, huh?”
“What choice do I have?” asked Tina.
“Well, not a lot I guess. That’s a pretty good hike north.”
“330 miles or five and a half hours” winced Tina. “Trust me, I know”.
“Have you talked to her since she left?”
“Just briefly. She called to let me know that she’d arrived safely but that was about it.”
“Do you have any plans to go up there?”
“I told her that I’d like to come and visit as soon as she was ok with it, but we’ve not set anything up yet.”
Alice studied Tina and couldn’t help but pick up on the feeling of sadness coming from friend. She knew that Bette’s move to Carmel was going to be hard on her but hoped that the two of them were going to be able to get things moving in the right direction.
“Well” she said, trying to sound positive. “I’m sure as soon as she gets settled, y’all will figure something out.”
“I hope so, Al” she said as she looked across the table at her old friend. “I really really hope so.”
Three weeks had passed since Bette had moved to Carmel and she had to admit, she had loved every second of it so far. The town of Carmel was a fabulous place to live and she was welcomed by the locals almost immediately. The project itself was proving to be as challenging as she’d expected but the team that she had hired to execute all of their plans was really pulling together and so felt very fortunate for that.

Yay! You posted!! Missed this story very much.. Please don’t leave us for so long this time. :)
I am so glad to see you back! You made my day! Thanks!
Thank you Skipton…as you probably know from all my messages…I really love this story. I hope this is a wonderful weekend of love and reconnecting. You just have a way of making this story so real…I feel like I am watching them up close and personal. It seems like Bette dosen’t care if she dosen’t go back to LA. I hope you post again soon. Thanks again.
Excellent Skip. Just beautiful.We’ve been waiting for so long, and voila,you surprised us. Can’t wait to read more about Tina’s visit to Carmel. They are absolutely adorable.It’s nice to know that even though Bette moved, they still have so much love for eachother. I adore Tina’s persistence, but I also love Bette keeping things at this slower pace. I just want Tina to move in already LOL,but only time will tell i guess.Bring on the romance Skip. LOVING IT SKIP.Thanks. PPS.
Well I’d call you a tease, but it was worth the wait. One quibble, though. When the guy asked Tina if she needed help, she had the perfect opportunity to say “Take me to your leader.” How could you pass that up? But otherwise, well, you know, it was great. I know infants can keep one busy, but can you supply our fix a little more often? Over here jonesing.
yes yes yes, glad to see you back
Thank you for posting, you just made my day.
So good to have you posting – love this story
Wonderful story..love how Tina keep ‘babying’ Bette in this post :)Thanks for taking the time from your parenting duty to give us another fab chapter.
Thank you, Thank you. U are forgiven for the looooooooooooong delay. This is one of my favorite fics. I will continue to read and enjoy as long as u continur to POST!!! LOVED the chapter. They are making progress. But have noticed that Bette never says Tina’s name when she says that she love her. Why is that? Is it because she is still holding part of herself back from Tina because she still does not totally TRUST her?
Deep sigh…goofy smile. :-) Thank you for this wonderful chapter.
I sensed a sad undercurrent …
I know the storyline is different but this is how I see the characters attempting to reconcile (if at all possible really) after S3. Bette’s uncertainty and longing, Tina’s measured steps and gentle pursuit. Alas, the rushed episodes won’t allow for the relationship to unfold as you’ve carefully allowed here. Thank you for writing.
Good chapter. Good that Tina come visit Bette and they will have a good time together. OK post soon please, thanks!
First, as always, it is truely wonderful to see a post with your name on it! I can’t help but to think that Tina is desperate and she might do better is she didn’t pull back a bit. Bette has her exactly where she wants her. I am glad that at least, they are together in the same place. Post soon
I kept waiting for “une catastrophe,” as a French friend of mine used to say. My eyes were glued to the print, and my heart was in my throat for the entire exquisite five pages. Thanks for leading me so well!
Glad you are back. Great chapter as always.
Oh yay, what a really, really nice update!
everytime you post a chapter it makes me happier…i love how this story is going, wonderful…hopefully slowly they can rebuild their life together…thank you
Ah…Skippie. Five whole pages of delight. Such happiness to see that you’ve posted. I savored every word, sentence, luxioriating in the beautiful imagery that you’ve created. PPS. It was wonderful.
So sweet. Thank you.
I’m such a fan of your stories. Thanks for sharing this very sweet chapter.
Glad that you were able to post. How is the baby? I will always love a good Bette and Tina story especially when they are trying to live as friends and lovers again.
I love this little woman Tina. Please come back with more soon. :D
Hey Skip, Awesome to have you back doing your excellent storytelling. This is a real delight and pleasure. After all of the trauma of the past it was great to see the gals just take some time and be with one another. Kit was a class act as she saw through Tina and gave her the necessary push in Bette’s direction. It was pleasing to have the gals actually discuss how they were feeling and what they were thinking about. This prevented the Stuart dinner becoming a problem. Open and honest discussion is the best way forward. Tina’s surprise arrival was joyous and humorous as Bette used the well worn “a friend” line with the workmen. Chortle city! And then onto Bette’s place as the comfort and closeness of these gals was rekindled. I hope that the simple act of sharing a bed is the beginning of a beautiful relationship. The love is there but they need to find the understanding and compromise again. I adore yher tenderness and gentleness you created between Bette and Tina. Please continue and brighten my days. Many, many thanks for this wondrous adventure, Your Loyal Fan.
woohoooo~ 5 pages! excellent as always.. love it!
I am so Happy to see you posting. I so love this story and this Chapter. Thank you PPS
I need to go to sleep before I faint from the brilliance of your writing and seeing that you were able to post. If you can, please post soon! More importantly, I hope all is well with the baby.
Skip!!! Am happy happy happy!!! I’ve been waiting and waiting, and went back to read the previous chapter so many times…Thank you for this. Guess the next chapter will be a while coming, but please don’t torture us too long eh?
