Ironically now that the roles were reversed and they had a child, busier schedules and more cleaning to do Tina had opted to let Sonia go. She claimed they could no longer afford the luxury of having a housekeeper. It wasn’t that Bette was above cleaning toilets but it was the principle of the thing. Once again she’d made allowances by giving in to Tina’s petty bourgeois anxiety over money. This wasn’t the first time in their relationship that Tina’s fears and insecurities about finances and her lack of faith in Bette’s ability to support their lifestyle had surfaced. The last time Bette had succumbed to the pressure. She had given up her passion as an art gallery owner to take on the undesirable job as the Director of the CAC to provide the stability Tina felt they needed to start a family.
At the time Bette was willing to make the sacrifice. For three years she’d been stuck in a highly stressful job working under the leadership of an unimaginative board that squelched her creativity and independence at every turn only to be fired before her five year contract ended. Bette was determined this time that since she was in a position to be selective she’d wait to find the right job offer that was both fulfilling and fruitful.

Lara had to work that day. After saying her good-byes to friends at the Planet Dana went home alone. She spent most of the afternoon watching video recordings of her tennis matches, crying, and lamenting over what this cancer was doing to her body. She’d made the decision not to reconstruct the breast at the same time as the mastectomy and now wondered if she’d been too impulsive. The tears flowed as she stood naked in front of the full length mirror flattening her right breast with her right hand trying to visualize what it would look like after surgery.
***
The male and female voices of the announcers for the tennis match being played out on the DVD player in the living room could be heard when Lara entered the condo.
”Game, Set, Match Ms. Fairbanks”
”And what a game”
”There you go. Dana Fairbanks has taken it today in the Mercedes Benz Challenge”

DANA/LARA just needed to talk to each other rather than at each other.ALICE was off the chain when it came to her wanting to be with DANA,a little to late even for their friendship.DANA should’ve told the girls but it’s her choice and she prefers to just suffer through it with LARA taking the roll of puching bag .serious topic so take off the band-aid with a good pull and lets all cry together.pps thanks
Thanks for this and for deciding to return to daily posts.
Everyone deals with Cancer differently, some tell no-one and others everyone, it’s a personal preference. My heart goes out to Dana and Tina should be the one realising how she feels and doing something about it.
Still reading and with dunnthat on the quick removal of the Band-Aid !
Hey Bat, so glad you decided to post a chapter daily instead of weekly. I still remember the emotions this story provoked when first posted, the discussions got so heated they had to be moved to a discussion tread.
Good for Bette to finally stand up to Tina and telling her some truth. I wasn’t happy that Bette let Tina walk all over her in S3 so your take is much appreciated.
As for the Lara, Dana and Alice triangle – always thought that Dana and Alice were much better off as friends than lovers and for Lara and Dana to make a great couple … but ‘thanks’ to IC’s version we got Lara escaping to Paris, Alice turning into a junky and losing her mind and Dana dead by the end of S3.
Looking forward to your next post.
Thanks for this part andd the daily update! It’s so good to see Bette standing up and confronting Tina with her condescending, derogatory behaviour and all the crap she puts Bette through. Keep your story in that direction and I’m starting to make my peace with s3 ;-)
Dana’s story is kind a hard to read already but as you said that you’re going to change her fate I’ll keep reading and hoping. I always liked Dana a lot.
Daily update please! my heart
It accepts up to a certain level of suffering and
this suffering extend much he would need
medication for my heart Tibette.
And I hated to see the program by a submissive Bette
It’s weak.
The complete constellation.
