Sleep
Tina wandered through the house, she ran her hands over surfaces that were familiar to her and yet there was something about them that felt different, not quite how she remembered them. Maybe it was because she knew that another woman had been touching them, another woman had been taking care of how the photographs and ornaments were arranged. She bit her bottom lip, fighting back the tears that threatened to fall. She knew that she shouldn’t be doing this. It was wrong, to be investigating this house while its owner was out, not here to chaperone her. Did she really need looking after in the house that she had lived in for so long? Tina shook her head and knew that it was true. She did need someone to tell her to stop. She stood by the door of the bedroom. She pushed a little so that she could see in. The bed was made, perfectly. That was so like how she used to know it. There was nothing more to say. The bed had to be crisp before getting in it at night and messing it all up again for the next morning of making it again.
Tina wanted to go in but she knew that she shouldn’t. It was wrong. This bedroom wasn’t hers anymore. She had made that choice and now she was living with the consequences, or so she thought. She wasn’t really living with anything. She just went from day to day hoping that Bette would come back from New York and tell her that as much as Tina wanted to push her away she wasn’t going to let that happen. It had happened once to often for her liking and now she was here to stay, or as Bette liked to put it, Tina was stuck with her. Tina smiled despite herself. She thought back to all the times she had tried to run from Bette at the beginning of their relationship. How she thought that the love that she felt was too overwhelming, how the changes in her life were to scary to contemplate. Bette would spend evening just telling Tina how much she loved her, how much she was going to protect her when things got too much for her. That Bette couldn’t think of anything that would frighten her away. Tina would always bury herself in Bette’s arm, hoping that to be true.

Hey cityg, good to see you here! Great post as always. : )
Happy to see a story from you. Happy retirement but please come out and play again soon.

One can retire from retirement, temporarily, occasionally, even permanently.
Welcome back! I’ll read whatever you write. I hope your muse strikes again. You have been missed. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for taking a break out of your retirement and for giving Tina a voice. There seems to be more fans of Bette than any other character on the show but there are a few of us who Tina has stolen our hearts. You have given her a voice in most all of your stories and I appreciate that.
I hope ‘someone important’ asks for more. Thanks for the post.

Beautiful, as always. Heart-wrenching and beautiful. Also a pleasure to read your work, no matter how infrequently you post. :)
That was great!
Welcome back if only for a short time! Hope that you are doing well :o)
“Still in retirement…” Please feel free to come out again anytime!
Thank you for this. =) It must be nice to escape from things while sleeping. I can’t because I know the drama will just continue when I wake up so I don’t try to run away.

Some writers just got “it”. And you’re one of them. Please return.
Beautiful. Lovely. Delightful. I hope you will decide you are way too young to retire and come back to us. I miss your writing. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the beautiful post.
Would love to see you continue this story. Great writing.
Hey CityGal, That was wondrous and exactly what a short story should be. There was such a maelstrom of emotions as Tina revisited the house and her memories of her relationship with Bette. This was a maudling sense of lost which was surprisely snubbed out by the finale. Tina in Bette’s arms is just the perfect ending to a fabulous fan fiction. My one regret was that it was too short and leaves the door open for a sequel showing the gals rebuild their weather beaten relationship. More please is my one call to you. many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
This is great!!!! Welcome back
Whenever you write it, we’ll read it!
Great chapter! I so hope that’s what had happened in the show~ Thank you for sharing with us.

Beautiful and amazing!!
Good things come to those who wait, good tina didnt call
