James nodded. “Oh, is she here?”
Tina nodded in return. “She is. She had to deal with a family emergency.”
The young man exhaled deeply. He had been carrying the heavy weight of uncertainty and knowing that Bette was alright relaxed him considerably. “So she’s okay?”
“Yeah, she is.”
“Can you have her call me? She’s not answering her phone. I can’t get ahold of her wife, either.”
Bette appeared, standing next to the woman that had introduced herself as Chris. Her eyes met James’. “I can’t believe you drove all the way here,” she said.
James smiled. “Bette! I didn’t know what was going on. I was 10 minutes away from filing a missing persons report.”
She frowned then. “I’m so sorry. I um, I had to deal with an emergency.”
Bette and Tina shared a look and then Bette nodded to the woman beside her.
Tina opened the door wider and asked him to come inside. James moved into the house and sat down in the living room on one of the chairs. Bette sat on the couch and Tina excused herself. She had been making a pot of coffee and told them she’d return with mugs of steaming caffeine for both of them.
There was a bandage on the side of Bette’s head and she looked gaunt, but her eyes were focused.
“Bette, what’s going on?” he asked.
“You’re my right hand, James,” she said.
He nodded. “I know. Is everything okay with you?”
Bette looked away before returning his gaze. “I’m going to be okay. But I wanted to bring you up to speed on a few things.”
He had her full attention and she told him the truth about her relationship with Sidney. While she didn’t disclose the events of the past 24 hours, she told him of the dissolution of their marriage and their separate habitation. Though he hadn’t known, it all made sense to him once she had explained.
“Do you know why I’m telling you this?” she asked.
Bette paused before she continued. “I’m a very private person and I never want to put you in the middle of what’s going on in my marriage.”

Tina a/k/a Chris still has no idea what her path she wants to forward. She can remain as she is married and having an affair with an uninformed Bette which she will lose Bette sooner or later. Or she can choose to make a life with Bette and lose her job, her husband and her family. She has a strong attraction to Bette, but it isn’t love.
Bette is going to take several days to physically recover. How long will it take her to mentally recover?
Totally agree.
As many questions Tina has asked Bette being suspicious of her motives and at how Bette seemed to know too much about her (like how she likes her coffee and pancakes), and why is she taking me to her house when I dont know her? In getting to know this new friend,why would it be so hard to tell Bette her marital status????
Bette would not have thought it strange to girl talk about such. She may have been disappointed to learn that fact,but perhaps could still want a friendship.
Tina doesn’t need to “delicately balance btwn her lover & her husband” she needs to come clean. Her whole life in 2019 has continued as a “lie” bc she was so afraid to live her truth. She refused to challenge her family’s beliefs back in college and now she hardly wants to be around any of them!!!!
She continues to rationalize why the moment is not quite right to break from Henry, though she clearly doesn’t love or respect him!!!! Know way he believes she is out-of-town for her job? Is she afraid to divorce him and possibly be called a two-time “looser”?
She’s thrusting Bette into the role of being “the other woman” and being labeled as a “home wrecker”. Bette has already suffered the indignities of being cheated on by her spouse.
Bette doesn’t realize that this Tina is NOT the sweet/truthful Tina of 2004/2005
I may need to leave this alone and just chill
Hola Martha3128 esta Tina esta enamorada de bette y no es solo por pasión quiere dejarlo todo para estar con bette porque la ama
Thank you for another part.
So Tina definitely is married. There goes my theorie ;-) It’s really difficult to find the right moment for her to come clean to Bette. I just hope that she soon finds in her heart that she has to end it with Henry, no matter what her family will think. Obviously there had been a moment in her life when she was ready to go for what she desires but chose marriage with a man.
As always I’m very curious to see where you take this story.
pps
cheers
So, what about the wedding ring on Tina’s finger? And what about wound on Bette’s head – is she having a scars later?
Thank you for the chapter!
