The Journey
Bette: I silently start the car and reverse out of the drive way.
Tina: We hit the open road and the girls fall asleep quickly. The silence is deafening. I know Bette is processing. I can see the strain on her face. "Would you mind if I put some music on?"
Bette: "No, no, of course not." I say gingerly, too politely, like I am with a colleague. I try to appear confident and sure.
Tina: "What do you feel like?"
Bette: "Your choice." Instantly the words come out of my mouth I am over come with sadness at remembering that I used to always say that to Tina when we were hitting the open road in better days. Truth was in those days I didn’t much care what I listened to, as long as I was with her. Her split second hesitation tells me she remembers that is what I used to say to her when she asked what I wanted to listen to. Tina picks my favourite album. I can’t help but smile "Thanks" I say with a small smile looking straight ahead. I silently wonder how important small concessions and considerations will be if we are to reconcile.
Tina: I squeeze Bette’s hand and watch her. I know she knows I am watching her but she looks straight ahead. We drive in silence but my hand remains firmly on top of hers.
Bette: We arrive and the sun is just starting to go down. I get Jennifer out of the car, while Tina gets Laurel. We put the kids on the couch sound asleep while we make a bed up for Laurel. I head out to get Jennifer’s basket.
Tina: We put the kids down and unpack the car. "Did you want something to eat?" I ask cautiously.
Bette: "Are you hungry?" I ask genuinely concerned.
Tina: "I can wait, if you are not hungry." Too much back and forth I privately think.
Bette: I watch Tina. "I’d like to watch the sun set, could we eat after that?"
Tina: "Sure" I wonder whether I should invite myself to watch the sun set with Bette. Bette always did love watching the sun go down. It was one of the few ways I truly saw Bette peaceful.

Very beautiful, I too have missed your calm voice as you move these ladies through all their feelings.
I know what I want, Tina, no Bette, no Tina, no Bette. Oh damn too hard to choose. Okay Tina wants Bette. I am hoping that Tina is able to get through to Bette. Bette is scared and I can understand, but she still loves tina or she would not be there with her.

Ok I have a little question, ok Tina just have a baby and now she drink beer, I dont think Tina can drink beer or wine right now that she is breastfeed right. OK post soon please, thanks!
I believe Bette needs to listen to Tina. you can’t solve problems if your in different places thanks
So glad you are back. I missed your story and your writing. You did a wonderful job fixing them before, I hope you can do it again. Thanks for posting.
Excellent story. You have a good ear for their convos. They are so indecisive, on tenterhooks. Keep it up.
this is so good you are back ! there is an unbelievable intensity in your story, you describe the scenes so well, and the dialogue always fits perfectly with the context. I love it, thank you ;-)
great to see you back! I’ve read this & now i can’t remember for my life what Bette has done in this story to upset Tina – so i’ll just have to go & re-read it all (what a lovely excuse!)
I am so glad that you’re back. Hope the real life interruption wasn’t too serious and that you came through it safe and sound. Hope to see many more posts…you’re one of my fave writers!
Yeah, I have to agree with Tina on her last sentense. As long as that’s what you want, you can have it again. All the emotional matters could be solved by emotion.
So glad you are back. I love this story.
i’m happy you’re back…i hope both B&T want the same thing – each other
Thanks for the chapter. I am still in awe of your ability to write. Keep it up, take your time and carry on making it special.
So happy to see that you back! ^_^ Hope that Bette sees thru the haze and realize they want one another. Can’t wait for your next update …
