She was feeling better today than she had been, determined to prove that she belonged in Charlotte Birch’s writing class. Jenny knew she had talent, craved the opportunity to make a living doing the one thing that brought her…everything. However, she also knew her writing had a tendency to go off on…tangents. She would get distracted right in the middle of a scene, and before she knew it, had written three pages that had nothing to do with her original thought. She needed someone who could teach her how to reign in those annoying tangents.
Smiling to herself, looking forward to hearing from Charlotte Birch about the story she had given her the day before, she slipped into her car, heading for the peace and quiet of her home.

Tina grabbed a handful of clothes out of the closet, and was walking towards her suitcase, when she looked at The Bed. The scene of so much love…so much happiness. Now, like their lives, it was a mess. The covers all thrown back, Bette’s laptop sitting in the middle of the kind size bed. ‘Bette must be working even more now that I am not around to distract her. Not that I did a very good job of that in the last year or so.’ She laid her clothes down on the bed, put the laptop on the night stand, and started to straighten the covers. Why she felt the need to do this, she didn’t know. She just knew that it gave her comfort to feel the sheets that had been wrapped around the gorgeous body of her love every night…to breath in the fragrance she had been missing, even though she was filled with anger and pain….Bette. God, she missed her so much! As her eyes filled with tears, Tina grabbed the pillow that was lucky enough to cradle Bette’s head every night, and buried her face into it…closing her mouth and breathing in as deeply as she could, Tina sat down on the bed, desperate to inhale as much of Bette’s unique smell as she possibly could.
‘Why Bette? God dammit, why did you do this to us?!’
Lifting up her head, Tina noticed the laptop she had placed on the night stand. Now, normally Tina would never have intruded on Bette’s privacy…spying on her by raiding her private computer. But, these were not normal times, and being back in their bedroom…trying to absorb the huge number of memories that were crashing all around her, Tina needed more. All of a sudden touching the blankets and sheets weren’t enough. Bette’s fragrance on the pillow wasn’t enough…she needed to be closer to Bette. So, with only a ounce of hesitation, Tina picked up the laptop, hitting a random key to bring it out of hibernation mode.

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
so painful to see tina and knowing that she got all wrong about candyass…that was one of the moments that i really hated candace for that affair…anyway, can’t wait for part 2
I like it but please no Jenny and Tina even know i know what the challenge is.I too loved your report.It made me think of myself and what the show means to me.
I’m curious… nice start. I’ll read whatever you write.
I’m interested too. as always you can tell a story that piques my curiousity. Can’t wait for part two.
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!
hmm, I like this. keep writing. I’ll be reading.
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
