The L Wing – chapter 263
“So why didn’t she stay ?”
“Personally I couldn’t live like that – I am lucky that I have options – I have had my own career and if I had found out that Tom was being unfaithful to me I would have left him and taken Tina and Lucy “
“I guess you don’t know what you would do until you faced that situation – would you accept Tina being unfaithful ?”
I lean back “I don’t know “
“Not that she will Bette – I know my daughter – I know her failings and I know her qualities and she is very loyal and she is devoted to you “
“I know that – can I ask you if you have ever been tempted ?”
“Me ?”
“It does cross my mind that one day one of us will be attracted to someone else. That’s never happened yet – its inevitable that it will “
Emma picks an imaginary piece of fluff from her jumper and considers the question
“When I was a young teacher there was an older teacher who I was attracted to. He was ten years older than me and I was very drawn to him “
“How old were you ?”
“I was 29 – Tina was only 3 and I was finding it hard to be a mother, a wife and a teacher. He listened and was very attentive “
“Did you ?”
“No – but I came close”
“Does Tom know ?”
“He suspected. The thing about Tom is that he was very ahead of his time. I see some of my friends husbands and I thank every deity that Tom is who he is. He didn’t really know his father who died when he was very young. So he was brought up by his mother, grandmother and two aunts. It has never occurred to him that women are not men’s equals. He won’t admit it but when we found out that Tina was expecting a daughter he was more thrilled than you can imagine “

Bette and Emma have come a long way! What an amazing chat they had. I smell a little drama coming soon though. PPS
Another great chapter AllyE. Glad that Emma and Bette could talk with each other, however, I think Emma should have let the past lie buried, the less one talks about it the better. Thanks for posting.
Oh wow, that’s a cliffie!!!!
Glad you remember to post this out then Ally :)Bettes conversation with her mother is nice..they talk to freely now. But my dear…Emma has a point.
Gee, I don’t know. Emma may be making too much about Killer Kennard. After all, it wasn’t that long ago Vice President Dick “Dick” Chaney, while in office shot a friend in the face with a shotgun and went on to not only serve out his term, but now won’t go away.
Great chapter I am so happy to still be reading about this fantastic family. PPS
