    The Roommates – Fast Forward to 2019: Chapter 21

    They sat down at his dining table and Tina pulled out her tablet, typing notes as they talked. Most of the discussion was simply his opportunity to whine and bitch, but she knew that the time would be well spent. The hour and a half invested in this session would net her at least 3 weeks of his improved mood and professionalism. She told him what he needed to hear and by the time she was back in her office, she found herself smiling. It felt good to have accomplished something. To be able to resolve a conflict.

    She crossed her lean legs and leaned her head against the back of her chair. And her smile fell. Her thoughts went to Henry Young and she noodled over how to manage the relationship with her husband. If anything, her practice at coaxing his good graces with words he needed to hear had prepared her for the likes of Gregory Allen. Henry was hard to hate, yet hard for her to love.

    Bette will be devastated if she finds out. I need to end it before I tell her.

    Thursday is the holiday. I’ll tell him on Saturday. I’ll just sit him down and tell him I don’t want to be married anymore. He doesn’t need to know about Bette.

    Tina chewed on the inside of her jaw and then call his cell phone.

    “Hey Chris,” he answered.

    “Hey,” she replied.

    “How’s it going over there?” he asked.

    She swallowed thickly, studying the NYC weather patterns on her laptop screen. “Cold and snowy. But we’re wrapping up. I will be home tomorrow.”

    Though Tina couldn’t see him, she knew he must be smiling. “That’s great. Your mom was just asking me if you were going to make it back in time.”

    Of course she asked him. Instead of asking me, she asks him. I’m her daughter. But then again, I’m not easy to manipulate.

    “Well, you can tell her that I’ll be there. I should be home in the afternoon.”

    “Everybody getting along on set?” he asked.

    She swallowed again. “Yeah. Things are…they are calming down. I think everyone just wants to be home and out of all this ice and snow. There’s a reason we all live in LA.”

    1. Love 2019 Bette bc she is sharing some hard truths about her ropensities toward addictions. She really gave Tina an easy out in that she was seriously considering that might want to suspend their friendship/relationship.

      WhooHoo Tina finally brought up the “forbidden subject – her marriage!!

      So had Henry & Tina agreed to stay married? or in a platonic partnership of some kind???

    2. I was holding my breath when I read Bette’s suggestion to take a break as long as she’s getting her addiction under control. The little reader in my head was shouting at Bette “Don’t do it! Don’t let Tina go! Tina doesn’t want to go!”.

      Hopefully Tina will continue what she started. She has to end it with Henry. If he doesn’t want to speak to her, she could simply hand him the divorce papers. I’m curious though what this agreement might be. He doesn’t ask for sex with his wife as long as she just goes through the motions of a marriage? As long as she keeps up the appearance of the happy couple in front of her mother? Hmm, but why would she agree? No, I have no idea. I guess I have to wait for your next part :-)

      Still enjoying it immensely!

    3. This is a strange relationship between Chris and Henry.. Over the previous weekend, he’s upset because she is not coming home as scheduled. They do not seem to be making at least daily phone calls while she is away. She talks to him on Sunday and next on Tuesday to say she’ll be home on Wednesday afternoon. When she finally does arrive home, he remains in his easy chair watching the game and greets his wife with shouts and then an invitation to watch the game with him? No kiss, no hug, no affection whatsoever. Then she say we need to talk and then indicates their relationship is over and he goes for a drive obviously to avoid further discussion.

      Tina needs to end this and end it now. No Thanksgiving with the parents. No continuing to live with Henry. And she needs to come clean with Bette. And don’t let Bette start drinking…..that will only make things worse. Bette will probably be working to get the show up and going. Tina should assist her were she can as soon as she has made it clear to dear Henry that it is over.

      Good to see that Tina is making an initial move. I was beginning to get worried that this was going to stretch on forever. Good chapter….. love to see more….

    4. Yeah I dont think a simple talk is going to get Tina out of her old life it’s going to be mess as is any split… so sad Bette is tittering back and forth from the old her and new her with the addiction just shows no matter how good you improve or start over you always have a weakness.
      But I also believe love sometimes takes a turn and makes you stronger with in and shows you a way much clearer. But Tina’s secret my push her over the edge.. if she could only see Tina to had a different life as she did with Sydney and may not been drugs and alcohol involved but abusive toxic marriage that’s not going to leave Tina with out a few scares of her own. Thank you nice chapter.

    5. I guess I’m curious about the agreement between Tina and Henry as eveybody else.

      But the the most important thing for me is that it will be so difficult for Tina to hide her mariage from Bette as she intended, Henry seems like someone ready to fight for this marriage, it might be war between these two so when Bette proposed to take a break in their relationship, I thought (don’t murder me please) why not !

      The thing is that Bette is already so vulnerable, she is afraid to use alcohol instead of facing reality, how will she react to Tina ‘s marriage … drama’s coming …( and I must say like it !)

      Thank you for this chapter, can’t wait for more.
