    Author Notes:

    Echo Park…revelations and questions.
    Nothing is what it seems…

    Bette: I’d be hard pressed to believe you, seeing as you ate
    chicken at my dinner last week.

    Tina: (surprised) You remember what I had for dinner?
    (laughs) You’re very perceptive, Miss Porter.

    Bette: (Smiles) It’s part of my job.

    They fall into a
    comfortable silence as Bette leads them along a path, bypassing the barbeque
    pits and picnic tables. After a few
    minutes they come to a smaller path that takes them around some dark fragrant
    foliage and into a more secluded section of grass littered with tall oak trees
    and flowerbeds. The path continued on,
    gently sloping downward, leading up to the beautiful waters of     Echo Park Lake.
    Bette shakes out the blanket and spreads it under one of the trees,
    while Tina takes in the beauty from their vantage point.

    Tina: This is beautiful.

    Bette: It’s my
    favorite place in the whole park. I find
    it amazing that you can sit here, surrounded by the fieldsthe treesthe
    lakeand then look out and see the city and its skyscrapers. It’s such an odd
    mix. (pauses) Similar to Central Park in New
    York City    .

    Tina: I’ve never been to New York.

    Bette: You should go.
    Contrary to all the bad publicity it gets, Manhattan
    is an amazing place. The buildings, the architecture

    Tina:(teasingly) The art museums?

    Bette: (smiles) Especially the art museums.

    They settle on the
    blanket, across from one another. Bette
    opens the basket and begins to empty the contents out. Sandwiches, assorted fruits, salads are all carefully
    set down next to two bottles of water and two thermoses.

    Tina: I can’t believe you made all that.

    Bette: Like I said before, I wasn’t sure what you liked.

    Tina: What’s in the thermos?

    Bette: ohuh a little wine.
    Alcoholic beverages aren’t permitted inside the park.

    Tina: So you smuggled some in?

    Bette: Seemed like a
    good idea at the time.

    The both smile, making
    and maintaining eye contact for a long moment before Tina reluctantly breaks
    the connection and picks up a turkey sandwich.
    They eat their dinner in companionable silence, content with simply
    enjoying each other’s presence, although occasionally stealing glances.

    Tina: I still can’t believe you made me dinner?

    4. tibette—glad to see you back. I have missed this story. Don’t let S3 get you too down. I am supporting the show and I think I am actually coming to terms with B & T. I still have hope that they will find each other again…and I always have authors like you…who will make us happy in the end. please post soon.

    6. You’ve returned! Thanks for continuing the story, even if you were nudged into doing so. This chapter was definitely worth it. I do hope we won’t have to wait another couple of months before the next post. :-)

    7. Don’t get discouraged by season 3 at this point there is nothing we can do to change it but you have a story you want to write continue on in the direction you intended and give us readers something to look forward too!!!!

    11. yay im glad you are back!. Nice chapter..maybe Tina’s dream was a way to get her attention to Bette…she soo needs T right now. I hope she tells T about her illness because although the girls will be there for her..who she really wants by her side is Tina ;) Post soon!.

    12. So glad you posted really missed this story. Tina’s dream was so loving and full of promise, and to “wake up” realizing it was only a dream…UGHH. Tina needs to talk to Bette. She needs to tell her about the baby. Don’t get discouraged about S3, who knows where all this drama is going to lead. Please update soon and thanks for the story.
