”Hill House for sure.”
”I do miss Olivia and Theo so bad.”
”Yes!”
”Have you talked to Chance?”
”Ya a little bit.” Angie texted as a smile grew on her face.
”You get so stupid around him. LOL”
”Ok, I am going now. TTUL.” Angie shook her head with the smile still on her face. She was glad she had her friend back. Angie got up off the bed and headed to her bathroom. As she entered the bathroom she heard music. Hmm, wonder what that is, she thought to herself. Angie walked out of her room looking for the source of the music. She raised her hand to stifle a yawn as she made her way through the house. She paused and listened, trying to figure out the origin of the music. She crossed through the living room towards the French Doors leading to the back patio where the music seemed to get louder. Angie looked across the yard. She blinked slowly and deliberately trying to hold back the tears as she watched her parents dancing under the moonlight. A sense of happiness flooded through her.
Angie turned hearing someone coming up behind her. She smiled at her earth mother.
Alice put her arm around Angie as she shifted her gaze out towards her two friends who were so engrossed in each other that they did not notice their daughter watching. ”How are you doing?” Alice’s voice was quiet, calming, something uncharacteristic of her.
Angie looked at Alice out of the corner of her eye her expression unreadable. She shifted her gaze back to the two silhouettes swaying slowly to the music on the other side of the patio. She had been so preoccupied with the current events that she had forgotten that her parents were still in the reunification process of their relationship. Angie bit her lip in the same manner as her mother would when she was unsure about something. She wanted her parents to make this work for them as much as her. She didn’t want to go through another separation of her parents. The last couple years had been difficult. She had not only had to deal with herself, but also manage the situation with her parents.

Welcome back!!
Got the notification yesterday that you had posted.
Great writing as always.
Such a dark time for Tibette with the pandemic still raging and their personal issues they are working through as a couple once again.
Don’t stay away so long next time!
Thanks for this treat.
Still sticking to this story!
Welcome back!
Wow Alice, great talk and advice she gave Angie.
It’s hard to reconcile and more harder with Covid but i have faith in our ladies. Bette opened up to Nat and i really hope she talks to Tina and Tina to Bette, be open about their feelings, their concerns. In other words, they need to communicate instead of holding it in and in Tina’s case at the end run away.
Please don’t let us wait that long for another chapter, i need to know that Shane will be alright!
I am a little lost in this story. I had thought that Tina and Bette had been through much therapy and resolved many of their issues such as the reason Tina left and why she and Bette drifted apart. And although the time of Tina’s leaving was a tumultuous time for Bette as Kelly was trying to destroy her career as well as her personal relationship falls apart. I have a hard time seeing Tina being upset with Bette for not telling her about this episode in her life. When people are apart, there are going to be things which are not communicated to the other party. And meaningfulness of the missed communications is in the eyes of the beholder. Bette feeling that it was a painful time during her life and believing perhaps falsely that it was done and dusted would have been a natural omission from their conversations. It is only that Kelly has resurfaced that made it necessary to tell Tina what happened. But Tina must assume some responsibility as she was not available in real time to assist Bette in dealing with this episode in her life. Its purely a by product of the separation. My advice to Tina is to deal with the here and now and set the past aside.
I would also like to see Tina become a little less self obsessed and a little more engaged in the relationship. I would give the same advice to Bette. Look for something in your lives which the two of you can work on as partners and contributors to the final results. Living in the same house as housemates with benefits does not naturally build a relationship. There must mutual goals and some interaction besides attraction and sexual desire to make of a close and committed relationship. With the Covid shutdown possibly drawing to a close, they have missed a golden opportunity to build that partnership and mutual goals that long term relationships require. At this point, both Tina and Bette are just waiting for the return to normalcy whereby their jobs will continue and their separate lives will go on. Tina will have much out of town travel. Bette will have her gallery and Angie will be off to school. And their relationship will hang together because the love each other, and even desire each other, but are suspicious that the other will not behave as they would like.
To me, Tina has not proven that whatever caused them to break up in the past will not become a problem again. And Tina is still having a problem in accepting Bette for who she is. I still do not see where is this “domineering” woman that Tina believes Bette to be. To me, this is simply a false perception that Tina has. If Tina feels that she is living in Bette’s shadow and fears such, then she lacks self awareness and of what is really going on. Tina holds the job and the profession she chooses. She participates in the activities she wishes to participate in. She makes her choices with and without consulting Bette. That does not appear to be a dominating force. To me, Tina needs to decide whether she wants to live with Bette as a roommate or have a truly committed joint partnership with Bette. And that to me is where Bette wonders if Tina will up and bolt the relationship once again. And this is such a concern that even Angie sees this as a concerned that her parents will be together in the long run. And none of this is progressing Bette and Tina’s relationship into a more stable and committed one. I see much more trouble ahead.
I appreciate you writing the chapter… look forward to the next.
PS. Let Shane be alright. No more Covid deaths please.
I’m really loving the story. It’s not easy to include Covid in a plot but you’re doing it in a neat and involving way. I also love the path you’re giving to their reconciliation. Problems and regrets don’t magically disappear even when a couple really wants and works for a new start. The way a recent trauma or a new source of excitement can trigger old trauma and can change perspective on choices and non choices is powerfully explored, and it’s even more interesting because you’re opening the fic to the whole family. Great read!
