“I’ll call George right away. And I’ll call Tiler, too, to see if she can take off for .. a week? Don’t worry about arrangements, I can put all of them on a commercial flight, if needed.”
Tina wouldn’t be fooled, however, and she answered Henry coolly, “No need to call Tiler. I’ll call William first to check on what he’s given to Tiler while Rachel and I are out here. Tiler’s been asking to shadow me on set, anyway, so this will fit everyone’s needs for now. I’ll call her after I talk to William. I’ll text you about Tiler and Jia to confirm whether they can go with the kids and Christie.”
“Right, right. Good. Um …” Henry answered. Tina waited for him to finish.
“Um … Tina, when I get back from Stockholm, and you get back from Montana, maybe we could see someone, you know, like Dan, who can counsel us on all of this. This isn’t us, right, honey? All these disagreements, fighting, etc.”
Tina felt a chill.
“We can start a-fresh, okay, babe? When we’re both back in New York.”
What the fuck?
They both kept quiet.
“Henry, I won’t promise anything.”
But Henry wouldn’t be deterred. “Ok, I know, I know. We don’t need to plan anything that far out. But I’ll call you from Stockholm …”
“Do what you want, Henry,” Tina sighed. “I gotta go. I’ll text you about Tiler.”
She clicked off without waiting for his answer.
She texted him with a reminder about how to lock the apartment up while all of them were away – Henry in Stockholm, and Tina and the kids in Montana.
Rachel looked up from her phone as Tina re-entered the café, thoughtfully sipping the nitro brew that Jay had concocted for her.
The drawn and exhausted look on her boss and friend’s face was a picture of a thousand words, none of them pleasant.
She waited expectantly as Tina re-took her seat and laid her drink and panini plate down.
“Everything ok?”
Tina shook her head wordlessly. Her eyes were blank, but Rachel could see her friend’s brain was working out a problem, a big problem. Has to be about Henry. I hope it’s not about the kids. Tina’s been worried sick about them.

Thanks for the chapter!
Great to see new part of the story.
And Tina – this is Bette! You just need to jump on her and Oh wait, you just almost did it:)
Tina says (innocently): “almost did what?”
????
Hm, maybe we’ll find out in next chapter?:)
So happy to see the update. Thanks
Just had to say that I was so happy to see a new chapter to this story! Love your attention to detail and YES to more teasing from those two.
Thanks for posting!
I personally luv the early, teasing phase when you just know you’ve clicked with someone
the fighting phase, um, not so much.
Would love to see this story continued by the way! I think about that ending often. That chemistry!! Hope you’ll consider x
Hi JBLH,
Yes, will continue this. Taking a while, but getting there! Hope you’ve had a good holiday. Happy New Year!

Thank you for the reply and I’m so happy to hear this news!!! Happy New Year and I can’t wait to see where this story goes.
Happy writing!
So great to have a new chapter, thanks ever so much. Always wonderful to read about their love blossoming, and right now it is on a rampage. Yay!!!!! Tina will get all her stuff together, take care of her children and tell henry to go straight to hades and beyond. He is too much of a d–k to tell her he wants out, just not much of a man, his mother had already told her so. Tina should have listened to her and run like hell. I think he has already found someone to keep him warm at night, whether it is Stockholm or New York. Good riddance to him, he’s not worth piss. She needs Bette in her life for a love that is total and complete and when the children are there they will look like a truly complete family. Can hardly wait for all this to unfold. Thanks again for posting.
Speaking of Stockholm, for some reason, I thought you’d appreciate the following one liner from Ken Dodd (RIP):
“Just read a book about Stockholm Syndrome. It started off badly, but by the end I really liked it…”
Side-splitting ????
Not picking on Swedish friends and readers out there, of course.
Thanks for commenting. Now let me get a pot for H to p*ss in, bec that’s all he deserves, right?
Welcome back skydancer!
I missed you and your story!
They met and bonded immediatley, there was a instant connection.
Henry is a asshole and it wouldn’t surprise me if he is cheating around Tina’s back. Dump him and start a family with Bette.
It is clear that Lena is history as possible lover, but i do hope she will continue to be a friend for Bette.
Fantastic update, please don’t let us wait too long for the next chapter!
So does anyone here have an ex-SO whose fine with being just a friend, after things went south between you two? For real, I mean.
I hadn’t and i doubt about possibility of this.
That’s why i always be sceptical about IC version friendship between Bette and Alice in TLW and that Alice truly cared about B&T relationship.
Hi, it’s been a long time since your last post, are you consider to continue this very interesting story?
Hi Z, yes, it has been a long time. I’ve had the next few chapters in draft, but haven’t had time to finish them. Meanwhile, a few things happened IRL, so life sucked for a while, and I wasn’t writing anything. Then a new story wormed its way into my head, in a way I couldn’t ignore so I’ve been writing that one out. May post that sooner than the next chapter for this one, and I hope you’ll like it.
Take good care, in the meantime!

Ok, thanks for the explanation. Then i’ll be waiting for your new story or update for this one!
Oh no, it’s been 3 1/2 years since the last entry. Please don’t tell me that COVID-19 impacted your writing.
I love this new/different story line!! When TJ arrives the intersection with Bette (Jay) will just add more and more to the story.
And, don’t forget the LA airport lounge conversation that Bette heard period to her departure. Another line of this great story!
Please write/publish more, PLEASE!
