The L Wing – chapter 232
“Post traumatic stress Bette – that’s what JJ seemed to think – and its also what I have been thinking. “
“I was surprised when you said that you had been chatting to Alice “
“Alice and I have to get over our past differences – she is a great Communications Director and she is also in love with my sister. We have to put our clashing of horns behind us. We were both in the wrong –
and yes that was me admitting that I was in the wrong “
“Never said a word “ I say smiling
“You were thinking it “ she replies
“So where the hell is she T ?”
Tina holds her hands out “ That’s a side issue – I think that we have to go back to Washington and you need to take control – take no arguments – you are the President – go preside “
“Not sure that’s the right word “
“Sounds good though “ Tina laughs
“I need to make her see a counsellor “
“You do – and you need to be guided by him or her as to what your next move is “
I nod
“Pretty much what I was thinking “
“Great minds think alike “
“Fools seldom differ “
She sticks her tongue out at me
“How’s Ella ?”
“Fed, changed and sleeping like a baby “
“She’s changing every day “
“She is – but this is not the time for a conversation about Ella “
“I know “
I feel tired – my headache is almost a constant feature but I know that she is right – I have to go back to Washington and sort this out. What Tina has said about Alice not being the problem has brought home to me a truth that I really have to face – Shane has been trying to run the show without me – a President being worked by her Chief of Staff.
I have read biographies of virtually every President there has been and there have been some horror stories about Presidents being left totally out of the picture by Machiavellian staff members. I thought that I was too strong and too intelligent to let that happen to me and while I was thinking that – hey ho – it happened to me.

Awesome – your writing always delights and inspires me.
Thanks, ally. ITA w/annaluis. I never tire of this story.
This is gonna be tough on Bette, but she’s heading down the right path to set this all straight. Thanks for the update-looking forward to the next chapter.
Bette needs to find a good exterminator to rid Shane of her head worms.
I feel sorry for Bette but also for Shane. I hope there is a way back to normal. Thanks for posting. It’s really amazing that after so many chapters a) I am not even a little tired of the story and b)there is so much open that I don’t see a end – and that makes me really happy. Thanks for all you have done and all you will do.
look out the prez is in the house and doing some cleaning!! poor shane now why did carmen get in touch with tina??? :)PPS
Bette is really struggling right now–glad Tina is so understanding. I wish she could forgive Kit–we’re all idiots at 14 :)
Loyalty may be the most important attribute of staff, it works better that way.
This so sucks for Bette. Bette is doing the right thing by trying to help Shane. Thanks Ally!!!!
Times will be tuff for the Portards, in more ways then one, Tina will have to tell Bette about her discovery too…
tough times, demand tough action Bette,…pps
Ohhh Bette gonna kick Shane’s ass lol!
