The L Wing – chapter 232
“We can talk about it – what are you going to do about Shane ?”
“I am going back to the White House first thing – I want a long talk with CJ – and I want a long senior staff meeting – if and when Shane appears the two of us are going to have a talk that she isn’t going to relish “
“If she is ill “
“If she is ill or not – she’s done the one thing to me that I said that I wouldn’t allow – I have been played like a cheap harmonica. If she is ill – I will get her as much help as possible but I don’t think there is a way back “
Tina turns round and looks at me
“No way back ?”
“If she isn’t ill – then she is sacked without any come back. If she is ill – she goes and gets whatever help she needs – and then I might let her join the staff again but I need a Chief of Staff that I can trust “
“You have trust issues at the moment “
“Do you blame me ?”
“ The stuff that is happening with Shane isn’t the same as what is happening with Melvin and Kit “
“I never thought I would have a regime that didn’t have Shane and Kit at the heart of it “
I say ruefully
“Both could come back “
As much as I adore Tina I don’t know if I can tell her that something has changed for me. I don’t want to let these people back – my so called freaking sister drove my mother away. Even if my mother did die in the hospital Kit robbed me of my mother while I was growing up and if she is still alive then Kit cost me over 30 years of having a mother – that isn’t something that I want to forgive.
Shane has let me down and I feel that this is the one thing that means that we have to cut the cord – for her sake if necessary.
Tina touches my face and gently we kiss -her lips feels like my own little piece of heaven. She closes her eyes and sighs
“You have to know that I am always here for you “
I nod “ I know that “
“Ella and I will have a ball without you “
“You probably will “
I grin at her
“We might make you a cake “
I chuckle
“Chocolate “
“You know my feelings about your cooking “
“Ella is going to have picked up my cooking talents “
“I imagine that she will have “
I pull Tina closer and close my eyes – despite all my brave words I am not looking forward to doing this – it feels like a betrayal of my past to consider an administration without Shane.

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!
