When Tina thought that she had pushed her luck as far as it would go before waking Angelica she walked back into the kitchen and started to make some coffee. It was then that she heard Bette enter the house through the front door. Tina already knew by the way that Bette walked what kind of mood she was going to be in. From what she could tell Bette was in a better frame of mind than she had been in a long time over the last few days. The new job that she was about to start seemed to give her a sense of purpose that made living together, in the same house, easier. Tina moved so that she could see Bette and as she thought Bette seemed to be in a good mood. Tina knew that this was the time.
“Bette, I’m making coffee. Do you want some?” asked Tina, smiling.
“OK, that would be great.” replied Bette, giving Tina a quizzical look.
“It’s not that unusual is it, for me to make you coffee?”
“No, but….”
“I know. We haven’t talked, unless it’s been about Angelica, and I’ve hardly been here but I thought that we could talk now. If that’s OK?”
“Does it have to be now?” asked Bette, still reluctant to spend humour Tina with anything.
“I think it does, but I want us both to be willing to participate.”
“Can I get changed?”
“Of course.” said Tina, pleased that Bette wanted to at least try.
Tina prepared the coffee while she waited for Bette in the kitchen. She strongly suspected that after quite a few minutes had passed that Bette was taking longer than normal to change. She also suspected that Bette didn’t really want to talk at all but knew that she was just delaying the inevitable by not doing so. Tina looked up when she heard Bette coming out of the bathroom. She frowned and sighed to herself as she watched Bette, silently berating herself for not being able to make it work, for not being able to forgive Bette as she came towards her.
“You look good.” said Tina, quietly.
“I don’t think that I can hear that from you right now.” replied Bette, trying not to meet Tina’s eye.

Very well done!!!! But so sad I am glad Bette did not go off on Tina. Even though Tina has it comming to her. Thank you PPS
Fuck, you made me cry…
Why did I read this at work? lol And just to be a smartass, I still can’t believe you killed off Shane in another story. =p
Way too sad!Jesus!
Excellent writing and yes, it is so sad. You gotta be really ‘stoopid’ to walk away from one Ms. Bette Porter, (especially Tina, considering what she was walking to, when she walked away.) And upon reading this chapter Tina knew when she left she wouldn’t be happy with anyone but Bette – – she’s a fool. She does finally realize it, but she’s going to take several steps beyond foolish first – as the story has told us. Excellent writing CG75! More please…
ouch!! that was the saddest chapter yet.
if things won’t get better for B&T, this christmas will be very sad for me
Beautifully written but oh so sad. Can you fix it?
This is the equivalent of kicking a puppy…dag Citygirl…sigh.
Damn this is so sad!!!!!!!
You fill in the blanks for us. Thanks!
Tina talks a good game.
Very matter of fact, very sad and very painful but brilliantly written as always.
That chapter was sad. The entire time i was wanting Bette to scream at Tina for breaking up their family, or to just throw Tina out and tell her to come get Angelica once she gets settled into Henrys house. But that probably would have caused more problems between them, so its good how she did it. Great story, thanks. PPS
This is such a good story – but so sad! It’s so painful to read and I don’t know how Bette is holding it together at this point.
*sigh.* This was quite good, but it’s just so sad. At least Tina’s doing the right thing by Bette with regards to Angelica. But… I don’t see how she could still share a house with Bette and carry on with Henry for as long as she did. It just seems needlessly cruel. Ah well. I guess I don’t need to say it (I will anyway): please post soon.
wow, great writing… but a difficult chapter to read knowing what followed …
Really good, a sad time, but a joy to read.
Man, this makes me angry. Tina should leave if she wants to be with Henry, yet I don’t really think thats the case. Bette held back and I’m proud of her, cos I would have been going off. I like the story yet I don’t cos it makes me sad.
Waht a heartbreaking chapter, but brilliantly written
