S. O. (Esss Ohhh)
All of us have moments, big and small ….
The repeated calls, though, from Henry, from the time she’d left New York, throughout the week in LA when she’d worked on other things in the studio, and prepared for this shoot in Montana, and now in Montana, were wearing her down. The doubts returned. Maybe, most likely, she was being made to choose.
Tina called on the inner strength she’d cultivated as a child confronting her parents’ marriage trials. She rose from the chair and walked around it to rest her forearms on the tall back of a nearby Adirondack deck chair, taking deep breaths as she gazed at the pristine beauty of the verdant green of Jay’s property, dotted with trees and wild flowers, that led to shimmering blue waters of a small lake, calm under the broad Montana sky this morning, and the purple mountain majesty up ahead that framed this rural idyll. Henry continued to rage into the phone.
No, maybe she wasn’t being made to choose. Maybe she still could have both – a marriage, and happy kids.
She cut into his rant. “Henry, I know you’re nervous about taking care of them without me.”
Clearly taken aback, her husband uncharacteristically quieted.
“They were excited about spending time with you, even if they were anxious about me being away.”
He sputtered, trying to protest, again, about needing to get to Stockholm, nevertheless.
“You need to see this as an opportunity to …”
Henry sparked to renewed agitation. “You don’t get to tell me what I do or don’t need …”
The change in tack threw Tina momentarily. What now?
His rant continued. “Since the kidnapping you’ve been ignoring me! Ignoring what I say; ignoring what I ask you to do. You’ve let your kids monopolize your attention, and you’ve been blinded by them. I’m your husband! You should’ve turned some of your attention to me! Me! TJ wasn’t the only one affected by that kidnapping — I was affected, too! Just because I wasn’t the one who was kidnapped doesn’t mean I didn’t suffer after effects of it…”
W-ha-a-a-t? What in the world was he complaining about now?
“Henry! Pull yourself together! What the fuck are you complaining about?”
“That you’ve been a bad wife! That you’ve ignored my needs!”

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!
