The L Wing – chapter 232
She seems to have thawed a little towards me. Encouraged I get on the bed and wrap my arms around her. She snuggles into my arms and for a few minutes neither of us speak. It feels so good to just hold her- to know that this woman is my future — that she will be here when I am not the leader of the nation.
“I didn’t see it but everyone else did “
“JJ says that she feels guilty that she saw it and did nothing “
“Its not easy when Shane is as forceful as she is “
“You are pretty forceful “
“I let myself be sidestepped “
“You were too busy to notice “
“I should have “
“You didn’t – remember that you need to be able to forgive yourself now and again”
“When did you suspect ?”
“Her lack of support of you has been the oddest thing – she has disagreed with you in the past. I have been in Senior Staff meetings when she has been the only one taking a viewpoint. But at the end – she toed the party line – she fell in and supported you 100% -even if she believed totally in the opposite view to you. The hostage situation was the first time I have seen her digging her heels in “
“I pride myself on being a supremely good judge of character – I didn’t see it “
“The bottom fell out of your world finding out about your dad “
“The only good thing about this is that I am not thinking about that “
“Sorry “
“Not your fault – you have been my rock – don’t know how I would cope if I found out about them lying to me without you by my side “
I kiss her hair and pull her closer
“Its not that I don’t want you with me Tina “
“I know – its not fair on Ella “
“Its not – if we had a full time nanny “ I suggest
“You don’t want a full time nanny and neither do I “
“We should think about it – after Christmas things are going to pick up and get hectic and I am going to want you by my side “

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!
