    The Journey 18

    Tina : “Sure, if there was someone else I wanted to see.”

    Bette : I just look at Tina, obviously she did not grasp my meaning the other day. Disappointment. “So, tell me about work” I move on, I know what I need to too about Sam.

    Tina : “OK, what about it ?”

    Bette : “Why you did you go back to work, I thought there was plenty of money.”

    Tina : “Bette, I went back to work because I wanted my own money and because I needed to be challenged. You know between what happened with us and being a new mom, I felt like I lost my identity.”

    Bette : This just gets worse, was she that unhappy when we were together ? ”Lost your identity ?”

    Tina : “I sometimes felt like I was just your wife.”

    Bette : “Thanks for the honesty” I say rather sarcastically. Tina just looks and waits to see what I am going to do next. “Tina, I wanted to tell you that I made an appointment to see Dan Foxworthy.”

    Tina : “You did, why ?”

    Bette : “Yeah, you know, with everything that has been happening in the last 2 years. Someone to talk too, impartial. There are some things I want to work on. Anyway, I just thought you should know.” Smooth Porter, not.

    Tina : I reach out and put my hand on top of Bette’s. “I think that is great Bette, really.”

    The door bell goes. I get up to answer it. Alice, Shane, Kit and Dana. Alice explains that she saw both the cars in the drive and she thought she better pop about to make sure everyone was alive. We all know she is full of *****. In unison we all say “Alice !” Dana rolls her eyes, Shane looks on in amusement, hands in her back pocket. Alice heads straight for the spare room to check on Laurel. I guess this means Alice holds no grudges about the other night. I look at Tina, disappointed we are not alone. Tina follows me into the kitchen and tugs on my top as I grab some beers out. I turn around.

    Tina : I whisper “Hey Bette, you wanted family night .” I smile at Bette.

    Bette : “Yes, I did.” I smile. And it feels good to have us altogether again.

    The girls played with Laurel, in between playing poker. Laurel eventually gave in to the tiredness and fell asleep. I saw the hope in everyone’s face during the night. Kit winked at me as if to say “you are on the right track baby sis”, Shane commented pointedly when she left how good it was to see us both, Dane, well she didn’t know what to say. We know Alice is never tactful. Ten thirty came all too quickly and Tina, Laurel and I were alone again.

    Tina : “I guess it’s that time. Bette, I really enjoyed tonight. Thank you.”

    Bette : “So, did I Tee. I wanted to thank you for coming by on our anniversary. I know you didn’t have to.” We are making our way out to the car.

    Tina : “It’s not just your day Bette” I whisper in Bette’s ear, trying to make her understand it was important to me too. I lean over and kiss Bette on the cheek “Goodnight Bette.”

    Bette : “Goodnight” Once again I say good night to my wife and child as I watch them pull out the drive way.

    1. Still lovin this story. YOur doing such a good job of moving it along just right. Its so nice the continual get togethers, talking to themselves and each other. Bette is treading so lightly. Glad Tina told her its not exclusive with Sam, now if Tina would just catch on. And Family Night, yeah like it should be. Look forward to the next chapter.

    2. this is really really a good story: full of emotions, witty dialogues. i agree with coop that it is nice to read their thoughts in between. keep going and thanks.

    3. that was great..baby steps now they have to know each other again and rediscover themselves as one again..and Tina is given to Bette all the indications she wants her in her life again and yes they are in the right path..i just need to have patience..lol..another great chapter post soon thanks :o)

    4. well i agree with all the insightful ladies in front of me. tina cant be that stewpid, right. or is she in denialville. or just hesistant. love how your writing this. the pace is good. loved seeing everyone together without sam the sullen. your pulling me along ubk. soon baby.

    5. Great chapter. Keep them coming. With all the supposed spoilers taking a hold in so many other spoilers. It’s good to see Tina and Bette in this light.

    6. Just had to let you know I was one of your loyal fans with Foolish Moves – there were moments I thought I was going to implode from the pace!! lol But, that was part of the beauty of that story…….so, this is all to say – I love this story as well! There is a uniqueness to your writing that is very captivating. Thank you!

    7. Babt steps, Reminds me of ababy taking her first steps,need something to hold on too, They need to hold on to each other to get to know each other again and become friends, Just not the baby to bind them together, thanks

    8. I don’t think Tina’s completely oblivious to Bette’s intentions… her heart still remembers where home is even if it hasn’t found the best route to get her there. Thanks for the info on the MIA postcards.

    9. 2 days without an update and I thought I was going to die. Great chapter and I am really enjoying the pace you are setting. All though..I am so ready for a real kiss. : )

    10. I wonder what time she left work, had to be early. Once upon a time Bette would have left me stranded outside.
      I had to laugh at this because it was so true.
