“You’ve hardly been home, Henry! All this travelling all of a sudden? You need to spend more time with our kids. I’m not their only parent, you know? We adopted them together. Together!”
Now, as Tina hesitated responding to Henry’s last text, another message from him displayed.
“I can’t do this by text. I’m calling.”
Before Tina could text back, her phone started ringing. Typical Henry. He didn’t think twice about calling Tina, even if he knew she’d be in a meeting, or hadn’t told him that he could.
His voice barked, “You need to fly home,” as soon as Tina tapped the green “accept” button on the screen.
Tina stood from the table, and turned to head towards the deck that she recalled Jay showing to them earlier. She had a feeling this was going to be another shouting match, and she didn’t need an audience for it.
“Did you hear me?!”
“Give me a sec. I need to get somewhere more private.”
“Where are you?”
Tina opened one of the French doors and stepped out. She turned to pull the door shut behind her.
Henry spoke again. “I said…”
“You know where I am. Montana!”
“Why do you need privacy? Isn’t it basically just wide-open space there?”
“I’m in a café. We’re not on location yet. It’s nice here, and I don’t want to expose everybody enjoying it to what I’m sure will be another argument with you….”
Henry was talking over her, as was his wont. “Well, while you’re thinking of everybody else’ needs and not your family’s …”
“I didn’t say I wasn’t thinking of our family’s …”
Tina’s words were lost in his loud answer. “We had a terrible night last night. Everyone was unhappy. And I don’t think Christie can handle the kids …”
“Well, you’ve got to help her, then, Henry!”
“I can’t help with Angelica’s hair, Tina! I don’t have the faintest idea about combing that kind of hair!”
Tina spotted the implicit undertones in what he’d just said, and her irritation with her husband, under control up ‘til this point, boiled over. She couldn’t help but lump this latest outburst with other unexpected statements he’d made over the last couple of months.
“What was happening to him?” she thought as he went on and on about Angelica’s hair.

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!
