He agreed with her. Tina was happy the conversation was light. It was easier this way.
“Can I…bring you anything from the city?” she asked.
“No. Just get home safely.”
“I’ll let you know when I get in.”
“Thanks. I’ll see you tomorrow,” he said.
Tina nodded to no one. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
By the time she got to Bette’s house, her lover was already home and the porch light was on. She rang the bell and waited for Bette to unlock the door. She shivered against the coolness of the late November and felt herself shift into the woman Bette had come to know. It wasn’t a large change, but a subtle adjustment that clicked into place and was cemented by the expressive dark brown eyes.
Bette was smiling at her. “Hi Sweetie.”
“Hey Love,” said Tina. She followed Bette inside, closing the door and then locking it behind them.
“Are you hungry?” asked Bette, she was dressed down in her relaxation clothes.
Tina shrugged. “Not really.”
The blonde sat down on a nearby chair and pulled off her pumps. “How was the rest of your day?” she asked.
Bette sat down on the sofa. “I ordered Chinese. It’ll be here in about an hour. Maybe you’ll be hungry by then. And my day was fine. What’s wrong?”
Tina looked up, meeting her gaze. She forced a smile. “Nothing is wrong.”
“Are you sure?” asked Bette.
Tina fluffed her hair. “I’m sure.” She stared at Bette for a moment. “Can I hug you? Is that okay?” she asked.
A barely perceptible flicker of concern flashed in the dark brown eyes before that flicker was replaced with calm. She smiled and held her arms open. “Come here,” she said. The past few days had been rough for Bette, but she was feeling much more like herself. She wrapped her arms around Tina, holding her close. She rubbed her back, inhaling the scent of vanilla shampoo and perfume.
“You smell good, T”, she whispered.
“You feel good,” Tina replied. “Did you get everything done that you needed?”
“I did. It was a sprint, rather than a marathon. But we’re in good shape.”

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???
I really don’t like cliffhangers ! :-)
So into this story now so the sooner you can continue it the better!
Thanks for this Chapter

Ahhh, i wish Tina could solve situation with Henry sooner, because i have a feeling that it would be easy, and all her lie can just blow into her face
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!
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….
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.
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.
