The Flower Effect – Chapter 5 – Finale
Bette watched Jodi carefully as she tried to explain her actions. Was Jodi being sincere?
“Jodi, I know how angry you were, and I realize that I behaved very badly. I should not have
“Stop, don’t say it Bette. I really do not want to hear any explanation from you. That’s not why I came here.”
“Then why are you here?” a perplexed Bette asked.
Jodi continued to stare at Bette.
“I just came to apologize for what happened the night of the exhibit, and to return this.” Jodi placed the key to Bette’s house on her desk. “I am sure that I will not need it anymore.”
Jodi then stood from the chair and started to walk to the door. When she reached it, she stopped, turned to face Bette one last time. “I really would have done anything for you to make it work Bette.” She turned back to the door and without another word, she turned and walked out of Bette’s life for good.
Bette continued to stare at the doorway Jodi had just walked through. She knew how badly she had hurt Jodi by being with Tina while they were still together, but Tina was her destiny. She couldn’t help how she felt. It had always been Tina.
As she continued to sit at her desk, Bette thought back to the time after she and Tina had separated. The night she had cut the sunflowers from the garden in her yard and left them for Tina at her apartment. Tina had never mentioned them once and Bette had always been curious why not. She had never asked Tina, but maybe one day she would as she now realized that the lack of communication in their relationship, had been the root cause of all of their problems.
Bette’s house that afternoon:
Tina arrived at the house after making a few stops along the way to pick up the required items for her special night with Bette. As she walked through the gate into the back yard, she smiled at the memories she had of times they shared together in this yard. The quiet evenings together just the two of them, cuddled up on a lounge chair, talking about their days. The BBQ’s, the pool parties, family night. How she could have let it all slip away so easily was something she still had a hard time accepting. It may have been Bette that ultimately cheated, but she knew she was just as responsible for not being committed emotionally to their relationship. That was about to change.

Great job Taz. I know that you just put a smile on all the tibetters faces out there. I enjoyed this story. Lots of flowers and their meanings. Post something else soon, ok?
Loved this story and hate to see it end, would love to see more of this same story, surely it could be continued in more chapters. At any rate hope ou will give us another one of our girls. The info on all the flowers was much needed info. I’ve never known all that before and at one time needed it desperately with no help around. Could you give us one page with all flower meanings? I know that is a lot to ask, but?
WOW! I didn’t expect Jodi either but I’m glad she droped off the key and went on her way. Great way to end a great story it always warms my heart when these two make it. I would love to read more of your work.
Every thing seems to come to gether,when you put the bad behind and look for the good. Small thingsand llarge things will come up but with that good foundation. thanks
Excellent!!!!
I really enjoyed this story, and am sorry it came to an end, but what a delightful end!
Perfect! I hate to see your story coming to an end. Loved every chapter and look forward to anything you may write in the future…. an epilogue, perhaps??
YES!!!! You romantic nut you! LMAOOOO. I had a huge smile on my face when Ness told me you had posted. On the way home from Newport, I mentioned that I couldn’t wait to read the finale. I didn’t want to, but I did if that makes sense? I wanted to, because I know how happy I would be, and the justice you would do to the story. I didn’t want to read, because I knew it was the final chapter…. :- ( Yeah, I know… sap. LOL! I said it so you didn’t have to. You did a FABULOUS job in this, your very first story. You had me from the start, and I’m definitely looking forward to another story REAL soon. ** hugs ** we’ll talk soon.
this was great cant wait for more
This was a wonderfully written story and now that it’s over, I feel a little sad. I hope that you will continue to write more, I have enjoyed these so much. I have a real penchant for romance!
What a lovely and romantic ending! We truly enjoyed the story and hope you will come up with many more to share with us. This story was like having the most tasty dessert we could enjoy. Thanks for bringing joy to our TiBetter’s hearts. Sincerely, Lucero & Marsha – JC’s Salsa Aunties from Mexico City
This was truely a lovely, beautiful story about love and how love can continue to grow even though you are not with the one that holds your heart. I hope that you will continue to write Tibette stories.
Didn’t expect jodie at the door or for her to say she was sorry for her public lashing out episode…even happier that tina remember the sunflowers and finally was honest with bette…:) so do we get another story :)
Thoroughly enjoyed this story. Looking forward to more.
5 gazillion stars for you! I have enjoyed this story very much. Tell me there’s another one brewing, please.:D
