    Author Notes:

    Whiskey, and make it a double.

    She remembered the time that she had sat at Bette’s dining table and told her that she could never love Henry the way that she had loved Bette, and wondered out loud if Bette had thought that there would be a right time for them again. That was the time when Bette had told her that she thought they had worked better as parents than partners. Tina had so wanted for that not to be true but she knew that in her heart it was, and then, months ago now, when she had told Bette that she was leaving. That time it was Bette that questioned whether they would ever find their way back to each other. Again Tina found herself running away from the thing that she wanted the most, to be back in Bette’s arms forever, with Angelica as a family.

    Right now, however, that need was surpassed by a need to have a drink, to soothe her shattered heart away from another night of loneliness.

    “What’s your drink?” asked the bartender, long dark hair cascading over her shoulders.

    “Whiskey, and make it a double.”

    “Bad day?” asked the bartender, assessing Tina as she poured the drink.

    “No different to any other day.” shrugged Tina, not really wanting to talk and yet glad of any human contact outside her work.

    “So now you’re drowning your sorrows.”

    “Something like that.”

    “I haven’t seen you before. Are you new in town? Visiting maybe?”

    “Do you always ask your customers these questions?”

    “It’s a slow night, nothing much to do but talk, and if you don’t mind me saying you look like you need someone to talk to.”

    “I’ve been here a while, nearly a year. I think that you have another customer.” said Tina, pointing to a woman who was waiting at the end of the bar.

    “Maybe we’ll talk later.” replied the bartender and she moved away.

    Tina was left alone with her thoughts, as she had been for so long. She thought back to the chances that she and Bette had missed out on. Just the simple times when she could have been there when she wasn’t. Like the time that Bette had come home early so that they could spend some time together and Tina had insisted that she still wanted to go to the gym. What had she said to Bette? That she was stressed. There had once been a time when all she had to do was look at Bette and all of her stress melted away. Later that night, when she had got home and Bette was already asleep she had crept into their bedroom. Initially walking away after taking Bette’s glasses off but then re-entering the bedroom just to watch Bette sleep, the calmness in the room helping Tina to understand everything that she had with Bette.

    1. Another piece of the puzzle falls in place. Gosh, Tina sure does know how to beat herself up. Bette’s pretty much totally forgiven her — long ago by the sounds of it, Angelica loves her unconditionally… Tina really just needs to learn how to forgive herself. I know it will come. Yet again, a great (but sad) chapter, citygirl.

    11. Well City, it was a great chappy, but I personally am ready for the future! That was depressing!I want to see the “movement”. I luv the story, just tend to luv the positive more.

    12. Another chapter to love…I could feel Tina’s pain. I don’t think Bette was being formal…she was probably shcoked and worried about Tina’s phone call. They seem to be few and far between. Keep posting.

    20. Well CityGal, The misery really piles on in this sorrowful tale however I do believe that you have to reach the bottom before you can attempt to climb up again. The descent is torturous as time and time again Tina tries to validate her actions and fails. She is in purgatory but reaching out to those she loves. Thankfully Bette was there and able to talk. It might not get Tina to hit the deck but it does offer some light at the end of this tormented tunnel. You are nor afraid of showing us the darkness that this can bring and I welcome your bravery at showing it as it can be. Many thanks for this phenomenal fan fiction. Your Loyal Fan.
