The Journey
Bette: I smile uneasily and pick up a plastic chair and carry it outside with me. I open the front door and decide to leave the chair. I can smell the fresh air. I kick my shoes off and walk bear foot across the grass to where the grass meets the sand. I comfortably walk down to the water line and then back up a few meters to find a place to sit.
Tina: I watch Bette through the window and long to join her but I am painfully aware she needs some space. I start to unpack. I turn the light on noticing how quickly it is getting dark. I cannot help but look out the window and Bette is still there in exactly the same place she was before. "Stuff it" I say to myself. I check on the girls, sound asleep and grab two beers out of the fridge.
Bette: I hear and smell Tina before I see her. My eyes don’t meet hers but I am glad she came.
Tina: I sit down next to Bette and hand her a beer by placing it out in front of her to take if she wants it. "Do you mind?"
Bette: I pop the lid of the beer and take a sip. I just shake my head, indicating that I do not mind.
Tina: Perhaps for the first time I can see why Bette has always loved the sunset. The perfect blue that meets the brilliant amber and pink. The sun reflecting on the water as it seems like it is sinking down into it. "It’s beautiful."
Bette: I nod. "So still."
Tina: And Bette is right, not a whisper of breeze. I have marveled at Bette’s ability to sit still since she returned from Europe. I take a sip of my beer. I stand up and pat Bette on the shoulder, to indicate that I am going inside. I want her to know I am available and willing to save this family but I am mindful that she will need space and this has always been Bette’s most private time. Suddenly I feel Bette’s hand on top of mine. She squeezes it gently.
Bette: "Stay, if you’d like to." I say a little unsure and this time I do meet Tina’s eyes.

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 …
