The tense moment passed as Jay called out from somewhere behind the counter that the first batch of cappucinos were ready for pick-up. No one moved in response, at first, and then unexpectedly, Tina offered Ken a small smile. It broke the tension – Ken smiled back in response, shrugged and motioned he’d call Scott with the answer. Soon, the excited chatter of the rest of the crew started up again.
Rachel called out over her shoulder to encourage people to step forward to grab their mugs. “C’mon guys. Your coffees are up. Ours are coming later.”
Tina took a steadying breath in and blew it out as she resumed scrolling through her messages. With a slight shake of her head, Rachel tossed her phone on the table to catch the blonde’s attention.
“I know what that feels like, you know,” she observed when she saw Tina glance up. “Go easy on him. That job I had before? You have no power when you’re the go-between. You feel like a toad in a swimming pool.”
Tina frowned. “I wasn’t sore at Ken. It was Scott who …”
“Got Ken to do his bidding. I know.”
Tina shook her head crossly. She opened her mouth to say something when her phone beeped. A text from Henry.
Great. If he re-starts that argument I’m gonna…
“Angelica was acting up.”
About?
“Her hair.”
Christie help?
“She was putting TJ to sleep.”
Tina’s fingers hovered over the screen. Henry had been avoiding spending any time with the kids ever since the TJ had been snatched from him while father and son had been negotiating a dark alley that connected the garage where Henry parked his car to the main street of their apartment building.
This would be the first time he’d be in charge of the kids since TJ had been returned to them. Tina’s work on the film was one of several trigger points for full-scale arguments between them, and their arguments had continued unabated even after Tina had left for LA. Last night, Henry had called to try to get Tina to fly home to New York.
“Your career will just have to wait, Tina. Both of us can’t be away from the kids. I need to go do this thing in Stockholm.”

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!
