    Uncharted Territory

    ‘Of course you did.’ She rolls her eyes and waves at the waiter. ‘Come let me buy you that ice cream.’

    –

     

    A few weeks later… 

    ‘This was such a great idea.’ I tell her as she holds cab door for me and offers her hand. Today is Renee’s birthday and Bette booked a table for the four of us at a restaurant that Renee liked to visit.

    ‘Well, we did it every year for all our birthdays, would be sad not to do it now and Renee would love it.’

    Tugging at her hand I urge her to stop at the entrance. Leaning in I remove the cherry blossom that got caught in her curls. ‘You look beautiful.’ I say, the caress of her eyes soft and warm before I kiss her. ‘Oh one thing, whatever you do, just don’t mention the nanny.’

    ‘Do I want to know why?’

    ‘No, just don’t, for your own sake.’

    ‘Yes dear.’ She smirks opening the door and placing her hand on the small of my back. ‘After you.’

    The black distinguished jaquette vests of the waiters who come and go almost unnoticeably fit the goldish touches of the thick wallpaper inside. In the middle of the space is a black shiny pianoforte with the fall open, the keys waiting to be played. On the white starched table cloth lies elegant cutlery from which I’m trying to figure out what the brand is. ‘Seeing the menu this is more something for your foody trips. I’ll just have whatever menu you all agree to order. I’m not that difficult.’  Winny says pushing the menu aside.

    ‘You mean, you want to be surprised?’ Helena corrects her.

    Bette and I exchange a silent look before she leans in and points at the page. ‘I was thinking to go for the seafood menu, what do you think Tee?’

    ‘Great choice, I’ll have the same.’

    ‘Splendid.’ Helena says closing her menu with a thud.

    ‘Well I guess that’s settled for me too then.’ Winny shrugs, sits back in her chair and looks from Bette at me. ‘So back to work Tina? How is it?’

    ‘It’s all I thought it would be, it’s simply amazing to be a part of these series. The team is very professional but everyone is really relaxed and there seem to be no limitations, next week we’re shooting at Versailles. Can you imagine?’

    1. Another great chapter. Enjoyed Bette & Tina’s interaction with Helena and Winny – very entertaining, at the same time it revealed so much, as Helena said about the night being therapeutical. Very well-written.

      My favorite line –
      “When I asked her to marry me I knew I would only ask that question once and only to her.”

    2. Bette and Tina need to have some long discussions…. they need to have discussions about their expectations of the other. What role will their careers take in their personal lives? Do they really want children and if so when? Where would they like to live and why? What are their hopes and dreams? What is it that they most fear? How can they remind each other how important they are to one another – beside lots of sex.

      They need to have one discussion about the past and then put it away…. take ownership for their own mistakes and choices. Become aware of the signs that things are not right and need to be adjusted. Put their lives on a reasonable schedule – no more of this move to a new city, getting a new job and trying to have a baby all in the same year. They need to schedule some family time and some couple time. And they need to learn to communicate… almost to the point that they empty their minds to each other and hold nothing back. They need to share the duties of house and family together… neither of them totally responsible for say the cooking and the laundry. Joint project builds connection…. and they need connection.

      In this chapter, Bette describes what marriage means to her – a life time commitment to one person. That says to me that Bette will never instigate a divorce… if there is to be a divorce, Tina will have to start the process. And even if divorced Bette will never marry again. Those are truly remarkable sentiments for a person in this day and time. Of course if divorced, Bette might see other women. She just won’t purpose to another woman. That is how she feels at this time. I believe she is sincere and I also think that Tina is hearing this for the first time. She probably had no idea how Bette felt about marriage. I find Bette’s sentiment admirable….

      Thanks for the chapter…
