Walk On By—Chapter 4
“I’m so happy to hear that because I have decided to start seeing Dan again. I actually went to him yesterday and he made me realize some things” she says wiping the tears from her eyes
Angie stirs in my arms and lifts her head momentarily to open her eyes to look at me then closes them just as fast. Just like that her head went back against my chest
“Not that I’m not happy to hear you are seeing Dan again because God knows I should have taken therapy more seriously back then but what happened for you to change your mind about marrying Henry?”
She sighs and lowers her head as if she’s embarrassed to tell me
“I just realized there are so many things that we are not on the same page with. We have been fighting about every little detail of this wedding and I am beginning to see that these issues were always masked because we fell into this comfortable relationship. And honestly I can’t keep self sabotaging. I love Henry but I’m not in love with him and I won’t allow myself to marry for the sake of marrying when it will ultimately end in disaster”
I’m completely dumbfounded at this revelation. I was for sure that Tina was in love with Henry. Why else would she agree to marry him but as I look at her I can see that she seems relieved to have come to this decision. It kind of makes me want to question if she ever was truly in love with me but I won’t because deep down I know that she was. If I’m certain of anything it’s that.
“Tina. I’m totally understanding where you are coming from”. I sigh as she looks at me anticipating what I am about to say “I have been with Jodi for almost 8 months now and I thought what I knew so far about her really turns out I don’t know anything at all” I pause to gather my thoughts thinking this is highly awkward we are sitting here talking about our current relationships but at the same time it’s oddly comforting.
Tina’s POV
I’m listening to Bette begin to talk about Jodi and I can’t help but think this might be the first time we have really confided in one another. It absolutely sucks that it’s about our current partners but Bette has never freely just confided in me like this. And come to think of it neither have I. I wait as she begins to speak again

Such level headed rational thinking by everyone – Bette, Tina, and Jodi. Wonder if Henry will respond in the same way? Jodi is going back to New York. Bette and Jodi have broken up. Tina and Bette have accepted their own roles in their break up. Time to start anew… Just as soon as Henry knows what’s going on.
Thanks for the chapter…. write when you can…
Maybe Henry wants to end things. We can hope.
“We closed the door on the past today Kit. I’m looking forward to see where the present takes us and what the future has in store” I say”
Best words i have read!!!!
Bette and Tina had a honest talk and a breaktrough, they can finally move on and the best step is to build their friendship first before they can move forward into a relationship.
Amical end of the relationship between Bette and Jodi, good that they had the talk and were honest. Have a good flight back to NY Jodi!
Henry, he will not be amused and probably not response that well when Tina breaks up with him.
Great chapter!
Good post. Agree.
Agree. Very satisfying chapter. Now, let’s see how Henry reacts. I think much different because he’s expecting a new wife/mother to his Son in all this.
Back in a good place, thank you.
Thanks for posting a great chapter, look forward to more
Stay safe
