“Don’t hold your breath. I haven’t relaxed in months. I can’t remember when I didn’t feel like I was walking a tightrope.”
“How are you sleeping?”
“Barely.”
“Eating?”
“When I remember.”
“Do you think you’ve lost any weight?”
“Yes, my suits seem a bit loose, my blouses are baggy I’ve noticed.”
“Do you drink?”
“I have wine occasionally, but no one could perceive my intake as a problem. And no, I don’t use recreational drugs.”
“How’s work?”
“I’m busy as always. There’s a lot of pressure on all of us.”
“Do you find that you’re restless at work or do you tire easily?”
“I do get tired. I’ve napped twice this week. I’m working and something just comes over me. I put my head down for five minutes and wake up an hour later. It’s the stress.”
“How’s your social life?”
“My social life is all with Tina. I’m persona non grata within my circle of friends.”
“How does that make you feel?”
“You know, I care, but I don’t. My concern is for Tina. If our friends all desert me forever and I get Tina back, then that’s fine with me.”
“So you’re telling me that since you broke up. And it’s been about three weeks now, that you haven’t seen any of your friends.”
“Right.”
“And what activities have you done, let’s say in the past week that you’ve found pleasurable?”
“I’ve had my fill of pleasure.”
“Do you find yourself crying at night before you go to bed?”
“Suzanne, I cry before I go to bed, when I wake up, while I’m making coffee, driving to work, at work, on my way here, watching the Comedy Channel. That’s normal. That’s who I am now. I’m most likely dehydrated from all the crying.”
“It’s interesting that you’ve been here twice and haven’t cried. In fact, you told me a rather painful story last week about losing your baby and you were almost matter-of-fact.”
Bette glared at her. How dare this woman say something like that. The loss of their baby pained Bette tremendously. It was one of the worst experiences she’d had to live through.

It’s a much longer read than most of the posts, but it is definitely worth taking the time! I can’t remember the last time I read something that drew a tear… which says a lot. Can’t wait to read part 2.
Portia, I read this on the dedicated Bette and Tina site and absolutely loved it. It’s too bad the character translation is messed up here because others would love it equally as much.
Please post the continuation soon! I await with bated breafth to know what happens next.
Damn!
Breath, not breafth.
One more thing… the scene(s) with Suzanne, the psychiatrist, is inspiring, and makes me want to have issues to vent (or at least the courage to vent the ones I’ve got) :P
WOW, I like it a lot!! It’s great! Can’t wait for Part 2!
Wow. I did’nt like the way it started but what a powerful finish. Please continue…

I like that you show characters that are trying to be honest to themselves and each other. Too bad we don’t do that more often in real lfe.
