“Are we still going through the paperwork tomorrow ?”
“Yes – she wants us to give us some sort of analysis of how the business is looking “
“I thought she was the business brain ?”

“Neither of them have a business brain the way you have or me or even the way Finn is being taught to be. And none of us hold a candle to Willow. My folks are farmers who got lucky with the way that the organic market took off “

“So she wants to expand ?”

“She needs a challenge “

“She was supposed to be against change “

Tina shook her head “I don’t know and my head hurts trying to make sense of the day “

Bette pulled Tina back down into her arms again – the blonde groaned as she nestled against the brunette’s body.

“Oh that is so nice “

“I just want to support you in any way I can “

Tina pulled herself up again and looked at Bette – gazing into her deep dark eyes

“You don’t get it “

“Get what ?”

“How grateful I am to you – how you have been so fantastically loving – how you have put up with the politics of my family, how you stayed strong when we found my father because I wanted to beat some sense into him. You kept that situation from getting out of hand – and you put up with me driving like a maniac “

Bette eased herself up and with great tenderness she kissed Tina on the lips

“I don’t consider anything I do to be excessive or exceptional because I love you and if I can be there for you and be supportive for you then that’s what I will do. Ti – we support one another . My love for you isn’t in question “

“No – no it isn’t “

Tina’s eyes started to get watery – Bette smiled

“Come here”

She took hold of her and the simple gesture of love was too much for Tina. She burst into tears and took hold of Bette – Bette hugged her tight and stroked her back

“Its okay sweetheart “

“God Bette – its such a freaking mess “
“I know – get all your tears out – it will make you feel better “
