Bette went into a deep depression after Tina didn’t show up at the fountain. She wouldn’t eat or sleep and lost a significant amount of weight. She had graduated from Yale two months before she went to meet Tina and hadn’t found a job since she graduated so all her time was spent shut up inside her room at her sister Kit’s apartment in New York.

Kit was considerably older than Bette and was her father’s first child with another woman. Kit was hardly around during Bette’s childhood but she would pop in on occasion and Bette would start to trust and confide in her only to have her skip town again.

When Bette got back to her apartment in Connecticut after returning from North Carolina she found a letter under her door from Kit making amends as part of her recovery and had her address and phone number listed for Bette to contact her.

Kit offered to have Bette come live with her in New York and within the following weeks she made the move. Bette told Kit all about the pact with Tina and Kit held her for hours letting Bette cry in her arms.

After seeing enough of Bette slowly killing herself, Kit physically pulled Bette out of bed, opened the curtains, showered and dressed her and drove her to a clinic to get her help. She stayed at a treatment facility for 90 days getting treated for her depression and returned to live with Kit ready to move forward with her life.

Her degree was in finance and she got a job at JP Morgan working her way up slowly through the years to financial manager. She didn’t date for several years until she moved to California when JP Morgan transferred her to their L.A. Office.

It was there she met her wife Victoria Douglas. Victoria was an extremely wealthy heiress and was looking to invest her fortune. During a meeting with the CEO of JP Morgan and Bette who provided her with financial details of the company, Victoria’s interest shifted to the brunette and after a couple of meetings Victoria asked her out.

Bette was hesitant but after a few dates she began to really like the red head and the two dated for 3 years until Bette asked her to marry her. She had fallen in love and didn’t think she would ever feel that way again. Although Tina still haunted her thoughts and remained in her heart she was happy. Victoria made her happy and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with her not wanting to lose her like she did Tina. They married last year at Victoria’s Beverly Hills estate which they now live together.
