"Done!"
Tina breathed out a big sigh, rubbing the smooth surface of the outer casing of her laptop, as she closed the lid. She felt both relief at finally completing the grant proposal that Oscar had been waiting for, as well as trepidation, because now that it was done, she had no more excuses not to go over to the house to pick up the last of her clothes.
She thought back to her earlier conversation with Alice, feeling bad that she wasn’t going to join her friends in celebrating Kit’s re-opening of The Planet. However, Bette would be there, she was sure of it, and that confrontation was not something she wanted to even think about, let alone experience. She was still holding in so much anger, she knew it would come bursting out, and become ugly if she showed up at the party. And she really didn’t want to put any of them through that. Besides, she felt humiliated enough without embarrassing herself even more in front of a couple hundred people.
She thanked God for her wonderful friends, knowing they would all keep up the pretense that it was the grant proposal that was keeping her from the celebration, and not the fact that she didn’t want to run into the woman who had literally broken her heart…broken her spirit.
Tina slowly stood up, and with the same amount of enthusiasm as a child who’s made to clean their bedroom, picked up her car keys…and leaving behind the temporary safety of Joyce’s guest house, walked out to her car, dragging her feet the whole way. ‘Just one more trip…just one more trip,’ she kept whispering to herself, trying to emotionally prepare for the barrage of pain, she knew would engulf her as soon as she opened the front door of the home she had shared with Bette, for the better part of their eight relationship.

Jenny quietly made her way out the front door of The Planet, leaving the party just as anonymously has she had arrived. Well, she had arrived with Shane, but she might as well have walked in by herself, as all eyes has been following the ***** tomboy, as they made their way through the crowd. She was happy for Kit, knowing how much peace it could give a person when you had something in your life to focus on…especially when it included a life’s passion, like music…or writing.

Interesting start…can’t wait to see where you go with this.
Very interesting, indeed. I like it.
Please dunt put Tee and Jenny together… Let Tee confront Bette in the next chapter.
I sometimes wonder if Tina had NOT opened Bette’s email on the show, would they be together sooner?
Sea,It is so good to be reading your work again. Obviously, you have not lost your talent of drawing your readers in and having us beg for more. Welcome back.
Great insight into Tina’s thoughts as she opened that very devastating email message. I often wonder and imagine what is going on in the character’s mind during so many scenes and episodes on the show. Thank you for so very nicely writing your insight on Tina at their home during this episode. I enjoyed this post very much – looking forward to the next one.
I can’t wait until tomorrow to read the second part of this. By the way I loved your article on the UK convention. It really sounds like you had a great time. At the end of the article you mentioned a Lword.com party in Januray in San Fran. Can you give us more info on this. Thanks.
ooooh, can’t wait for the next chapter. x

Well, Sea it is so nice to see you writing again period….I can’t wait to see where this goes. Love it. I hope you had or having a good time overseas.
Excellent. The way you fill in the gaps is so powerful. Looking forward to more.
Sad!!! I’m glad you understand how Tina feels though and why she would go through Bette’s e-mail…considering all of that friendly bantering from before, right Sea? :P I’m curious to find out what challenge you’re fulfilling.

This is interestin start and please continue, thanks!

dying here
This was a very poignant evening for both Tina and Bette and I enjoyed how you took us into Tina’s mind. Now I’m curious what you will write about Bette’s walking into the pool. I was always somewhat puzzled by that scene unless the producers just got hold of an underwater camera they were dying to use.
No offense but I’m so tired of going.back to this place,can we just have happy times for Tibette after what Ilene already put us through
