She will be loved
Bette didn’t want Tina to pity her but she felt the need to let the woman she loved really know her past, Bette had always been convinced that you don’t really know someone until you know their story, their complete story.
“I’m so sorry Bette” Tina didn’t know what else to say. Bette shyly smiled at her, breaking quickly the eye contact.
“Well… that’s part of the past now… how’s that food going?” Bette said getting up. “Care for some wine?” She completed the line while heading for the kitchen.
Tina was left sitting on the couch speechless. Her heart was broken at the thought of everything that her friend had to endure, but she was also stunned at how quickly those “windows” of time when Bette would feel safe enough to show her vulnerable side could appear or disappear. It was like looking at a storm, when you are staring in the right moment to the right direction and you see that perfect lightening that leaves you breathless and with your mouth open… but they end as soon as they start, you just gotta be lucky enough to witness it.
“T? Wine?” Bette poked her head out of the kitchen when she heard no answer coming from the living room.
“Uhm yeah… sure…” Tina was startled, she started carefully going though the pages of the book and she stopped at one specific page that seemed rather worn out and was surprised to see a couple of lines underlined with red ink. She started reading the whole poem, while Bette returned to the couch with two glasses of wine.
Bette immediately noticed which poem Tina was reading.
“To be with you, or not to be with you… is the measurement of my time…” She said almost above a whisper, but her voice wasn’t low enough for Tina not to hear it. She immediately looked up, she too was too absorbed by the poem to notice Bette re entering the room.
“This poem is beautiful…” Tina said with teary eyes.
“I know… mom used to love that particular one… she was the one who underlined that specific part of it… I guess I’ll never know why…” Bette had to look away.

You are killing me!
I agree with Christy…you’re killing me. Please make this better soon. Please.
WOW!!!! Great Post!!! Thank you PPS
so who really had the red pen?
Oh so heartbreaking it was. Thank you for this story and for continuing. Please make it better!
I was thrilled to see you had updated this story. BUT….you know you have to post faster and faster right? I understand first hand how school can take up so much time. You study hard and know that your loyal readers will always await your updates.
Christy is right, we are really needing something to happen with these two lovebirds. I thought something might have been said at the airport. Surprised it didn’t. Although now that Bette has given Tina the book, I think Tina just might say something to Bette now and Bette only needs a little bit of encouragement. Wonderful update. Thanks for posting. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

That was sad and beautiful, hope they will be together soon. Glad to catch up with your story and love it, please post more, thanks! Merry Christmas my friend!
Bette’s mother seemed to be conflicted with leaving and starting over or staying and raising her beautiful daughter. I feel that Bette is struggling with her own desires when it comes to work or Tina.
Great Post and Merry Christmas
