The Flower Effect – Chapter 4
“Damn. I really wanted to talk to her.”
Shane could see the disappointed look on Tina’s face when she discovered that Kit was not around. “Tina, is everything OK?”
Tina looked at her friend and smiled. “Yeah…..No…..you know Shane I really don’t know to tell you the truth.”
“Is it anything I can help you with?”
“No, not really.” Tina had an unsure look so Shane pushed her friend a little harder.
“Are you sure? Listen, if you don’t have some place else to be, why don’t we grab some lunch and we can catch up? That is, if you have time.”
Knowing that Shane would never pry and was one of the few people she could completely trust, Tina replied “Yeah OK…lunch would be great. Maybe Kit will come back, and I can talk to her then.”
“Good, why don’t you get us a table. I’ll go order us something and be right there?”
Tina turned and walked to the back of the Planet to find a table. She really had wanted to talk to Kit, but Shane had always been a good friend. Maybe she would understand. As she waited for Shane at the table, Tina began to think of just how she would relay her message back to Bette when she finally got to see her.
Shane arrived at the table with two cups of coffee, and placed one down in front of Tina. “You look like you could use this.”
“Thanks Shane.”
They sat in relative silence for a few minutes. Their lunch was delivered to the table, and silently they ate. Tina, not sure what to say, and Shane, in typical Shane fashion, would not pry into Tina’s privacy.
Shane was a very loyal friend who would not ask questions, but if you needed a shoulder to lean on, or someone just to listen, she was always there for her friends. Bette and Tina were special to her, always had been. They were her family, and it had hit her very hard when they had separated.
Shane had known Bette before Tina was a part of her life. The Bette Porter before Tina and the one after she had met her, were like two completely different people. Tina had brought out a side of Bette that very few people were ever granted access to. This new Bette was softer, and more gentle. To most of the women she had dated, Bette had always appeared inaccessible emotionally, but when with Tina, she was fully engrossed in her and her alone.

okay so does this mean while tina is at lunch with shane, kit went to go see bette???? why must you write drama,lol make it easy!! LOL :)
YAY~!!!! I was thrilled to see an update from you T! To think, Tina was going to see Kit! What a terrific dialog between Tina and Shane. I loved this line, as I am sure you know….”Having that one special person to share it with, who accepted you as you were, didn’t try to change you to be something or someone else>” Good stuff my friend. Thanks SO much for making my day complete. ** HUGS **
I love this story! Your writing is so captivating especially the notes attached to each flower delivery. Can’t wait for Tina to arrive at Bette’s.
Go to her Tina, a very good chapter Taz, I loved the talk, sometimes you need to hear it from another sources to know it’s the right thing to do, Shane struck me as a wise person despite all of her flaws but I know people are not all bad and full of flaws and they are not all good, they make mistakes that can change their lives forever cause they suppose to learn from them. Thank you dear and post soon
Hmmmmm…so if Tina went to see Kit, who turned into Shane, then the knock at Bette’s door may be Alice…to impart some advise to her?????
So….. Bette’s hoping it is Tina on the other side of the door, but Tina has gone to see Kit…… who just happens to be on the other side of Bette’s door…. Well, that is my theory anyway. I look forward to the next post.
at least u both know and vaule what u have
Shane is so sweet,Only the two of you will know. In the world you need to do what is best for you not anyone else. That is hard to do sometimes,but love has a funny way of changing things. thanks
Now, where is Tina off to and who is knocking at Bette’s door? I hope that Bette does not freak out tooo much. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
I am glad that Shane could be there for Tina. Now I hope Tina goes to Bette and starts working things out, so they can move forward.
Go Tina!!
Another great chapter. Looking forward to more soon I hope.
So happy that Tina had that talk with Shane and Kit would have probably told her the same thing, more or less. Now on to see Bette and tell her how she feels. Grat chapter. Can hardly wait for the next chapter. PPS
Get to Bette, Tina!!
