“But now – how is Tina different ?”
“She doesn’t fawn over me – and boy she stands toe to toe with me. I have always been proud of how fit I am – and no
one has ever seriously lived with me when I go training. One of the first things we did as girlfriends was we came down here and we had a run – she burned me up – I couldn’t keep up with her. It was a huge shock to me – that suddenly I wasn’t the master runner that I had always boasted that I was. We compete a lot and she is my equal – she is my equal in every way and I respect her more than I ever have with anyone else before. I guess I have always been accused of being arrogant “
“Something that has been flung at Melvin more than once “
“The word was invented for my father “ Bette said “Its rubbed off on me. I don’t claim to be proud of what I was – but in my defence now – it really is a kind of façade to hide how insecure I am “
Elizabeth nodded and for a few minutes neither spoke.
“Bette – I know that I can never make up for leaving you 27 years ago – nothing will make that up to you. But please say that I can be part of your life “
“I want that but its not going to be as easy as me just saying it – I don’t really know you. If Tina was here she would tell you how long it takes me to get to know people – I am very wary as a person- again I know that comes across as arrogance and it looks like I am aloof “
“Tina did say that “
“She told me “ Bette stopped and sat down on a rock and looked out to the sea
“I want to get to know you Elizabeth – so many questions – I want to hear so many stories and find out about you “
“But I am pressuring you ?”
“A bit – I was talking to Ti last night and I said that the one thing I was most scared of was you deciding that you didn’t want anything to do with me “
“All I can say is that you are my baby Bette. I look at you and I still see this little girl in piggy tails, always carrying around that rag doll. Then I look at you again and I see this beautiful woman who has made so much of her life despite every effort of her parents. I see the love between you and Tina and how much you idolise one another. Bette – you have every right not to believe me but I will only leave your life if you tell me to “

thx for the update. good convo
I like the interaction between Bette and her mom. I think a dinner with Hannah and Tina might be in order. Thanks for posting!
I love B’s beautiful story of her life w/T. B is understandably wary of Elizabeth, but at least she is open to the possibility of allowing her into her life. PPS!
Gosh, I have been waiting for this update forever. I am glad to see it. I’m loving this story so much right now. I want to see how this relationship between those two unfolds. Keep it coming, please.
What a delight to see this today! Ally this was beautifully written. Tina’s sensitivity to Bette is wonderful and I love the conversations Bette and her Mom are having. I’m glad your weekend was so good. I love it when you’re in the writing mood!
Its nice to see both Elizabeth’s talking to each other. May Bette’s fears be put to rest. Great post.
:) Bette has a mommy. More please :)
Nice one!!!! Listen to Tina Bette. You need some loving about now. I’m eager to learn more about Elizabeth and Hannah so hoping there will be some family time. Thx for the entertainment.
Thanks for updating this. I love this story. I love the way you have written Tina to be a strong person with convictions and the confidence to stand behind them. She really is a good match with Bette.
I love this story and have so missed it! Thank you for posting and it’s excellent that Bette’s talking to her mother and telling her how she feels. Love how Tina is there for Bette as wel. Thank you again for posting :)
Yehey! Its been sometime on this one. And great writing as ever. The reconciliation of Bette and her mother may take longer than they were apart, but its a start that they are both willing to get on. Tina is so good for Bette. PPS
This is a great story AllyE and am so happy that Bette is talking to her mother. I think they will be great for each other and I can’t wait until they confront Melvin and get his feeble explanations as to his actions. Bette will have to be extra kind to Tina. Thanks for posting.
I so love this story!!! I an glad Bette is talking to her mother about what she is feeling. Now I can not wait to see how Bette makes it up to Tina. Thank you Ally
I didn’t realize how much I’ve missed all your postings til now….Where the heck have you been, pls don’t go away there again or at least take us with you!!! Can’t wait for more, TKS
Your writing is so descriptive. I am actually feeling Bette’s pain and longing for her mother to be back in her life yet Bette being circumspect about this happening. She has that little girl fear of abandonment. That’s what your writing does.
Well I hope you have only amazing weeks from now on. Thank you for this.
Hooray Ally!
Your writing is so fantastic… I’m really glad you decided to come back. Bette’s confusion and fear and joy at having her mother back all come through so clearly. And Tina is being so great at supporting her through it.
That was great and glad to see Bette is have a talk with her mother. Please post more, thanks!
