    Author Notes:

    If I’m honest, nervous as hell.

    Tina opened the door of Helena’s car and looked up. She saw the sign that told her she was standing outside The Bette Porter Gallery. She turned to watch Helena walking around the car to join her.

    “So what do you think so far?” asked Helena, laughing slightly at Tina’s wide eyed look.

    “I think it’s a beautiful building and I already know that it’s going to be amazing inside.”

    “I don’t think that was what I was enquiring about.”

    “No, so what were you enquiring about?” asked Tina, turning to face Helena.

    “I was more thinking about how you’re feeling.”

    “If I’m honest, nervous as hell.”

    “Why? You’ve seen Bette and Angelica every afternoon this week and all day on Sunday. What do you have to be nervous about?”

    “That’s is though, isn’t it. Bette and Angelica, I haven’t seen Bette on her own since that day I told I was moving to San Francisco.”

    “And that makes a difference? It’s not as if you’ve just been talking to Bette about Angelica. I know you’ve talked about your relationship.”

    “We have, but we’ve always had a get out clause of changing the subject back to Angelica when it got too difficult.”

    “Well, if it’s any consolation you can always talk about art tonight. Do you know anything about art?” asked Helena, smirking slightly.

    “I know more than you would think that I would know. It’s amazing what you pick up in eight years of living with someone else’s passion.”

    “What’s more amazing is that you can still remember anything now, given that on some occasions you could barely what happened the night before.”

    “I don’t think that I’m quite in a place where I can joke about that.” replied Tina frowning at Helena.

    “I’m sorry, that was out of order.”

    “No it’s OK. I just need to find a balance between getting through each day and not shutting myself away from the outside world. You know it would be so much easier for me not to be here tonight. I’m dreading seeing Alice and Kit, and then I know that the champagne’s going to be flowing. That’s just the way that Bette does things.

    “So why did you come, if that’s how you feel?”

    1. That was like… I’m speechless. I really didn’t expect that to happen so soon, for them to try starting again. That was so tenderly done, and really so well-written… I’m just like, really pleased, sitting here with this little goofy smile on my face. So yeah, I’ll shut up now and just wrap up by saying that was a great chapter, citygirl.

    2. So well written and so sensitive to the subject. Bette is right: one day at a time. Sometimes one minute at a time. Thanks this story–it’s a tough subject to write about. Lin

    3. You could end it there and I’d be happy, knowing that they were going to try, really try….now pls don’t burst my bubble and throw something different at me…..Please!!!

    4. Absolutely Stunning! I totally loved it! Do you read stories sometimes and wish you had written a certain sentence from it – I do and I did – “Just wanting to revel in the silence that this moment was bringing her after the noise of her loneliness…”

    9. I so agree with Jobadge. That was the one sentence that leapt from the page and made me say “damn, that was good”. I did wish I had written it but then again I’d have to write a story. And I don’t see that happening anytime soon. So I’ll just plagiarize. ;-)Keep’em coming. It’s wonderful.

    11. So nice the way you’ve woven past and present together to bring us to this point and some hope for the future after dredging us through a cesspool of a past. Well that, may be a bit harsh towards the bartender, she seemed OK, but you know what I mean. So are we just going forward from here?

    18. As always, this and the previous chapter has been marvolous. I thought this was the story we talked about. I eagerly await more from you. You always seem to leave me on the edge of my seat! Good job.

    19. Thanks for posting City…Bette has such a beautiful heart. She is showing Tina that she is there for her…that even though this is technically her night…she is there for her woman. You captured this so well. I am sure they are still gonna take it slow…but at least they know they are both going slow in the right direction.

    22. IM STUNN! this was !!! im speechless.. om glad tina telling bette about the things going on and bette listeing and putting her family 1st.p.p.s. great job

    23. Damn awesome, that was beautiful and love it. This is what we waiting for and happy that they are back together again and can’t wait to see more. Post soon please, thanks!

    24. CityGirl, That was brilliant. I loved the attitude of all the gals in their desire to protect Bette and Tina while trying to softly push them together again. Helena was a star; supporting Tina yst pushing her towards recovery. Kit just said it like it is and gave Tina some much needed advice as how Bette was reacting to this recent reunion. Finally Bette demonstrated how much she had changed her priorities and was now just there for Tina even though other previously mire pressing engagements were occurring stimultaneously in the gallery. Bette’s gift was the perfect final note is wiping the slate clean and also looking towards writing a future together. Adorable and hopeful. Thank you for putting a smile on my face for the rest of the day. Now if only Season 4 could do the same. Yes, I do live in hope. Much gratitude for this delightful and inspirational story. You are a talented and skilled writer. Your Loyal Fan.

    25. Holy fricken crap, that was amazing!I truly believe that was the best chappy yet.I pretty much had tears of joy!You could feel their emotions.Well done City. I guess I needed to be patient, cause things are definatly moving foreward! PPS
