‘Right.’ I believe my mouth watered at her first words, then it got dry, I swallowed a few times but it didn’t help. Then blood was rushing through my body and all the while her look was stopping me from breathing. ‘Do you want more tea?’
‘Would you have preferred if I skipped answering this question?’
‘Please ask the next question and shut up.’
‘Are you sure you’re ready?’ She asks without hiding her triumphant beam, while I give her an evil eye. ‘What is your favorite song?’ She chuckles as I let out a huge relieved sigh. ‘Wait don’t answer, I know this one. John Coltrain – My one and only.’
‘That’s correct…and while we are at it, let me play some music.’ Happy with the temporarily distraction I get up and pick up my phone from the office and chose an easy listening Spotify list. Before I walk back I watch her leaning back in the pillows sipping her tea, looking at ease and I can’t help but to think how much I missed this and at this moment the view overweight’s the occasional discomfort certain questions elicited. It feels homey and it’s perfect for this moment with all its imperfections. I wrap my arms around her from behind and kiss her cheek. ‘Thank you for tonight.’ She doesn’t say anything but leans her cheek briefly against mine and right now that’s all I need to feel.
‘Shall I ask the next question since I answered yours?’ She follows me with her eyes as I walk back to my place.
’Sure go ahead.’
‘How many times have you been in love?’
‘Only one time.’ I reply in a heartbeat while holding her gaze. She could have easily answered this question for me as well, because she knows it. Before I met her I though I was in love a few times. But she changed all the perceptions I used to have on that matter and turned my world upside down, only then I knew what being in love really means. Slowly I turn around the next card. ‘What’s the most anxious you ever felt?’
‘Ohh pff…’ She presses the bridge of her nose before getting up and walking over to the window, where’s nothing to see, it’s pitch-dark outside. ‘It’s actually not such a long time ago. It was during the flight here, after you called.’

Thank you for the chapter!
Honestly i don’t see how all their talks and meeting with each other can help to fix something between them if all of the ending the same – one of them leaving in anger.
Maybe therapy?
I don’t comment much on this story but wow what a emotinal hard chapter was this for them.
Bette made a attemp to communicate by using cards with deep questions on it that they had to give honest answers to it. It broke my heart to see how Bette is deeply hurt by the betrayel of Tina, how she had that meltdown but she gave honest anwers. Maybe this really opens Tina’s eye on how deeply hurt Bette is by her infidelity. Maybe this meltdown was needed so they can really try to repair their relationship. Give Bette some space, she will come back or contact Tina. It seems hopeless but i have faith they will come back stronger than ever as a couple, it just take time, time they have to take both, don’t rush things.
Looking forward to the next chapter!
I haven’t commented much as I don’t know what to say as my feelings and emotions are always a little raw but I am still reading.
Thanks for the post

Tough chapter. They keep getting stuck in a never-ending loop when they DONT go and capture, tackle if necessary the one who is running.
Dang. Bette’s intentions were good, but may I suggest Twister next time? That Bette chose to hide the cards with questions about cheating should tell Tina all she needs to know about the way forward. She has to step up and own it. Say she is sorry again and again until Bette believes her. Say she will spend the rest of her life making amends if she has to. She needs to be on her knees, ugly crying, listening to the pain she caused kind of sorry. It’s time Kennard. Own it. Bette’s behavior, no matter how awful, does not justify her cheating. And for the love, they both need to stop running. I love this story. It’s intriguing in its heartbreak. Bette clearly knows her part in the demise of the relationship, she has suffered enough…
There are very few stories in all my fandom years that have wrecked me so bad after each chapter. This story is marvelous, heartbreaking but so beautiful. I created an account here just to tell you that I hope you will find it in yourself to give it an ending someday. Thanks a lot for sharing it with us.
