    Author Notes:

    If I’m honest, nervous as hell.

    “Because Bette asked.” confessed Tina, knowing that she wouldn’t be here under any other circumstances.

    “I think that you’re revealing more than you realise through that statement.”

    “I’ve spent years trying to deny her, and I’m tired of that. It’s too strong, the pull that she has on me. I’m here because I want to see her and, from past experience, I already know how hot she is when she’s in full on gallery owner mode.”

    “Be careful Tina, I’m almost beginning to think that the Bette and Tina reunion might be on.”

    “I think that’s it’s a little soon for that, but this time I’m keeping my options open, and maybe, finally I’ll be there at the right time.

    “So lets go then. We’ll never find out if we stand here all night.”

    Helena took Tina’s arm and walked her to the door of the gallery. Tina felt her breath go shallow, the nervousness mixed with the anticipation of seeing Bette’s gallery was causing her head to swim. The afternoons that she had spent with Bette while they both spent time with Angelica were some of the happiest times that she could remember having. She had started to see what her life could be, if she wanted it enough.

    Her life had started to take on a routine that made her feel safe and in control for the first time in years. Getting up in the morning was still painful, that’s when she felt the withdrawal symptoms the most. The craving feeling that she had in the pit of her stomach needed to be satisfied by something else. Helena had suggested that she come running with her on the beach. Tina remembered laughing at this on the first morning, saying that it had been years since she had ran but Helena persisted and Tina crumbled, knowing that it was futile to argue. The first morning had been hell, she had felt out of breath after about three steps, then eventually, after a few morning she was able to keep up with Helena for a while, dropping behind when the miles started to stack up.

    After that, every other day, she went to see her counsellor. She couldn’t deny that she hated every minute of those sessions. Tina realised how much Bette must have hated going to see Dan Foxworthy when Tina had forced her to all those years ago. Tina wished that there was a way that she could get through this without any outside help, but she know from bitter experience that wasn’t going to happen. The first couple of sessions being particularly difficult. Tina didn’t feel like she wanted to reveal anything of herself, then she remembered a promise that she had made to Helena the day before. If she wasn’t going to try what was the point in going. If was only when she started to talk did she feel like she was beginning to move on. Tina wondered how long she would have to go before getting her addiction under control and then there was the threat of having to go to a group, to meet other people with the same problem. Tina had said that she was scared of that. All she got in response was that it was OK to be scared but wasn’t a big part of the process overcoming the things that we are scared of. Tina couldn’t disagree on that but they agreed that she could put it off for a few more weeks while she got stronger.

    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
