The Journey 26
Bette : “I don’t understand ?”
Abbie : “What does Tina love about you, why did she, why does she love you Elizabeth, above all others ?”
Bette : “I don’t know..”
Abbie : “She loves your passion, your determination, your ability to deliver in the face of adversity, your strength. Yet, when it mattered the most Elizabeth, you bought none of this to the table. You wanted to take short cuts and you are still trying.”
Bette : “but.”
Abbie : “No but’s Elizabeth, that is why Tina is not at home, that is why she is not living with you as your wife.”
Bette : Frowning. “What do I do ?”
Abbie : “It’s a bit of a leap but you are going to have to trust me. I think you should ask her to move back home.”
Bette : “Abbie, Christ, what ?” I spit out half my drink in surprise. “Are you ***** out of your mind ? After what you just said to me ?”
Abbie : “Calm down. I mean as friends, like separate rooms Elizabeth. And I do mean separate and that will take some strength and discipline on your part because one or both of you will feel the need before you are ready. She wants some commitment from you Elizabeth but she needs to feel safe too. The best way to work it out is to have her close by, spend some time together, does not have to be serious all the time. You ladies can have a laugh now and then.”
Bette : “Abbie, I don’t know. I have told her she can come by whenever, that I will make time for her and Laurel..”
Abbie : Shaking her head. “You need to do more than tell her. You need to show her, day in day out, make a real commitment. Can you do that ?”
Bette : “I can do that.”
Abbie : “You better be sure you can do it and you better be sure it’s what you want. There are no more chances, this is it. If you ask her to move home and ***** it up, it’s over. It’s a journey Elizabeth. There is no destination.You are boss at the office, right ? Take the rest of the say off, go home Elizabeth and sort your life out. Think over what I said. And Elizabeth, no Saturday night.”
Bette : “No Saturday night.” I pick up the tab, it’s the least I can do.
Abbie : I give Elizabeth a hug. “Keep in touch, don’t be a stranger.”
Bette : “Thankyou Abbie, what would I do without you ?”
Bette : I make my way home and grab a sparkling water. Ask her to move back in, as friends, would that really work ? Abbie is out of her mind. I make my way into our room and sit on the edge of the bed. There were good times wasn’t there ? Is was not always like this ? What about Laurel, even if only live together as friends that would be better for her, wouldn’t it ? Ask her to move back home. I head out the back and pick up Choco, the ever faithful companion. I take a swim. It is late afternoon. I take a nap. I wake about 7pm. I roll over and think about it, ask her to move in, as friends, can I do that ? I reach for my cell, as I do, it starts to ring. Tina Kennard calling..

i hope Tina do and say the right thing to Bette..they already lose so much time apart is time to think str8 and make some right choices for them and for their baby..and they ahve to talk and try to find a way to be together..another amazing chappy please please psot soon thanks :o)
“I think you should ask her to move back home.”
Wow, I did not expect that. Lets see what happens…
more!!! I want more! Bette needs to ask Tina to move back home and they need to work things out! they belong together! please post more soon :)
I like Abbie. Bette’s a strong-willed woman and I often feel that her circle of friends are a little too green to really help her with her personal troubles when they arise…that and they can hardly be impartial being friends to them both.
I hope to see more of Abbie, preferably just as a Bette and Tina friend only and not making her one of ‘the gang’. I think it would be healthier for BnT to have their own friends apart from their ‘family’.
omg great chapter!!!!!!!!!! so glad you posted again….. can’t wait for your next post
If there were no Abbie’s analysis, I couldn’t see why Tina is still in love with THIS Bette.
Great work. Please post again soon.
Yes, have a laugh now and then is a très bon plan for Bette.No one can resist Bette smile, Tina either.Thank you unbeknown ;-)
abbie has the right idea but will tina and laurel move in.
Thank God for therapists when stubborn people are too dense to see the forest for the trees.
wow . move back home. sure didn’t epect that. it could be interesting. but why is tina calling???? keep it coming girl.
I do believe that Bette should ask Tina to move in as friends. She could have Laura everyday. thanks
Tina needs to give a little here I mean Bette is trying to do the right thing by Tina and Laurel. Great story and can’t wait for more.

I’m glad Bette got a few things off her chest. Hopefully Tina knows she was wrong to disrepect Bette publicly and privately. By the way its been over a week, can we have more, please?!
