Thank you. Tina whispered. I just dont know what to do.
Be yourself and be a truth teller. Thats the best place to start.
Ok. Thanks Alice. Do you think Bette hates me?
For walking out on her at dinner last night? Alice laughed. No, I dont think she hates you. Quite the opposite actually, but she is a bit confused. You need to be honest with her, Tina. She really cares for you and is trying to follow you through all of this newness, but she deserves some explanations and truth.
I know. Its hard to be honest with someone else when I cant even be honest with myself.
Thats a start.
A start? With what? Tina asked.
Telling the truth. How did it feel?
Really good. Like part of a weight has been lifted off me. Tina said.
Alice nodded and smiled. You should try it more often. You never know where it will take you.
***
Tina looked at Alice and smiled briefly as they both recollected that simple moment at the restaurant so many years ago and how much progressed after that. That one conversation encouraged Tina to open up and explore herself in ways she had never done before. And she was honest, especially to Bette.
Tina? Are you gonna fill Bette and us in on why you two dont belong together? Alice pushed in a loving and encouraging way.
Tina sighed and looked around the table and the faces of the beautiful women she loved. If thats what you all want to hear.
They nodded and Tina noticed Bettes eyes softened.
Its hard to trust, first of all. I mean, Im no spring chicken and I have a daughter. Its hard to trust anyone when I have my life all set right now. Its hard thinking about bringing another person into the picture.
But Dakota loves Bette, right? Dana asked.
She did take a liking to her quickly but its different when thinking about bringing someone into your life on a regular basis. It would break my heart to see Dakota get hurt. But thats just part of it. Its been so long since weve been together. Every time we do see each other, nothing ever comes of it anyway. Its just ***** then goodbye.
Except in Provincetown. Shane corrected her.
That week still doesnt feel real. Tina said.
Me either. Bette whispered.
And now we live so far apart, I mean, where do you begin with that? Tina laughed.
All those things might seem important, but whats important is what you feel here. Alice reached over and pointed to Tinas heart. Whats in there? Whats that telling you this time?
Thats never let go and each time I see Bette, it pumps new life through it all over again. Tina replied.
Alice caught Tinas eyes. How did that feel? Telling the truth?
Tina closed her eyes and said, Like years have been lifted from my life… and heart.

Oh the relief…I’ve been holding my breadth for 29 chapters…can’t wait for the next one…You have a big pink award on my computer screen
Awesome chapter.. this is amazing for them to say this out loud in front of the gang. Hurry back :)
Wonderful chapter. So glad Tina is finally dealing with the truth.
A beautiful story. I love your pace in drawing out the emotions of our much-followed protagonists.
I love how you are getting them there. The way the girls are is also too endearing thanks for the post I can’t tell you enough how much I love your writing
Wow! HonestT makes an appearance. Now, can Bette drop enough defenses so that the two of them might actually consider if their possibilities are possible?
Beautifully moving along. Such a great story.

Well thank goodness for Alice! The truth so often sets us free…people need to realize that more often. I love how you are finally getting these two to talk to one another and face their feelings. I especially like how you are using their friends to push them along.
Thank god for Alice, finally Tina being honest with herself. Love the pace of this story.
Thank you.
best story I have read all weekend. I love how you are taking it slowly. Great job!
I love how their relationships have shifted – the other three have more power now. They actively participate in deciding what course their group will take. I’m glad they could honestly confront the two would-be lovers and aid in their reconciliation. This is good.
Thanks for posting another of your always satisfying chapters. I know you reach logical conclusions and natural stopping places, but I always want them to continue, your writing is that smooth, and the emotions so compelling. Thanks.
Can’t wait to see how Bette’s going to handle Tina’s honesty!!
A wonderful feast, fareast. I hope you continue. It’s wonderul that you’re writing these stories, about these women, with honesty. There’s so much to learn from what you write, the situations you let them go through. keep writing!
About bloody time!
Woo who for the ladies.
See, everything comes to those who wait.
Wonderful chapter. I am so happy that these characters have finally woken up the love between them. A love this strong and enduring cannot; will not be denied forever.
Awaiting your next chapter. Plase post soon.
The payoff has certainly been worth the wait.
Am interested as to how the truth will set them free.
As always Alice is there to poke and prod them in the right direction. Just in keeping with the TV version.
Thank you.
