“Any you will, with my help. I promise that I’ll keep you abreast of everything going on with project. We have the technology to stay in touch and work remotely so you can still do your part.”
James agreed begrudgingly; at least it was a compromise. There was no way he could stand to be idle for eight weeks.
“James, you’ve been an amazing support to me in my work and personal life. You’re my best friend and confidant. You’ve never betrayed my trust; you’ve never slacked off in all the years I’ve known you. You’ve always given your all to the gallery and our shared vision for success even before we became business partners. In fact if it weren’t for you and Lisa offering to take on the Peabody project in New York and being so diligent we wouldn’t have gotten this far along. I’m the one that took a detour and thanks to both of you stepping in to fill my shoes we’re well ahead of schedule. If anything I’m the one that’s been neglectful; so doing this is as much for me as it is for you.”
“You’ve done more than I could ever repay you for Bette. I was honored that you and Peggy entrusted me with such an overarching endeavor.”
“Well you’ve more than proven yourself. I just hope that I’m up to par. My game is a bit rusty.”
“Don’t worry you still got game.”
“So what’s the game plan coach?” Bette’s question solicited a smile as their roles were reversed.
“I’ve spoken to all our contacts and advised them of the situation. They were sympathetic but were thrilled that we wouldn’t need to postpone and flattered that you’d be stepping in. Your absence from the art world has been noticeable. There was a lot of speculation that you wouldn’t be back after the baby.”
“I never left James. The art world just took a back seat while I tended to other priorities.”
“Well you were missed.”
“I wouldn’t give up becoming a mother to Alex or building a life with Tina for anything in the world but I must admit I missed it too.”
“It’s hard to believe it’s been almost a year.”

It’s time Bette and Tina have a heart to heart conversation. The last three of this chapter are so comforting. Will Bette hear the sadness Tina is feeling? Will Tina hear the longing in Bette’s voice? What will it take for these two to trust each other?
I can see Bette on a plane…
Still loving loving this story… if you are feeling generous tomorrow I won’t complain.
Tina thought she could handle Kate on her own but it doesn’t look like it. Bette will put her in her place. They have money, power and connections. Kate will never work in Hollywood again. Tina has to trust Bette to know what to do and how to do it.
Tina needs to talk to Bette and Bette needs to listen.
I hate Kate, please let Tibette become the force to see her off.
Thanks for 3 quick posts, a repeat would be wonderful!
Wow! This could sound harsh and I apologize in advance – but Tina has to get her act together and soon. It’s either that or she will loose Bette for good. It seems that Bette is making every effort to support Tina and complies with her wishes/demands, but there is little she gets in return. What is Tina playing at still tolerating Kate’s inappropriate behavior without taking proper actions to stop her. Seems that she perhaps isn’t so opposed to Kate’s advances. Because really she could just speak to Peggy and explain the situation and I am sure that nobody would blame her if they lost Kate as the director and if her behavior would be made public it surely would harm Kate’s reputation and make it difficult for her to ever direct serious movies again. I’m not sure that I would like for Bette to just show up unannounced in Canada just to again be rebuffed by Tina. Perhaps it’s time that Tina does the chasing and shows that she is committed to make her relationship with Bette and Alex work. Looking forward to your next post and as always thank you for sharing your exceptional talent with us.
First, let me give you a great big Texas thank you for all the posts today. Also I agree 10k percent with the posters before me on their opinions about what needs to be done about Bette and Tinas’ situation. I, too, think Tina should trust Bette and tell her what is going on and they together can talk to Peggy and get this stuff straightened out and get kate the hell away from them. Thanks again for the posts. Have a great weekend.
please let Tina tell Bette whats going on.
I don’t want anyone’s part at this story because it has its flaws and what Bette and Tina committed against their relationship.
we know that this is a pre-written story, and we just have to wait for what the future holds, but sometimes it’s hard to wait when such obvious things “annoy” the reader :-D
I don’t want to repeat what others have already been described because they are perfectly summed up what should be done if they both want the relationship to work yet!
I look forward to the next chapter!
We’ll dang missy git’er did!…this is too intense!..we got ourselves one of those page turner don’t put it down til we find out what happens to our beloved Tibette story!…boom!…You shor do know how to write’m…what a storyteller you is…heck yeah…Well now I’ma gon sit back n let you drive and enjoy da ride!…come right back soon nuff…ya hear!..kaboom!…**wink** xoxo
I am having a difficult time accepting that Tina is dealing with the advances of Kate by not dealing with them. This is not the accretive and aggressive Tina that I have come to know in the story,. After recently finding closure of the abuse that Bette suffered, it seems that Tina would not tolerate the behavior of Kate for any reason because she knows the impact it has on someone. I am struggling with why is Tina so lost… what else is going on in her world that would prevent her from fighting back?
Tina needs to come clean with Bette and soon. Thanks
Tina needs to talk to Bette tell that kate
is sexually harassing her.
5 stars.
