“What are you wearing?”
“I’m not that far gone. I believe they’re called sweats and a tank top.”
“In the middle of the day. Aren’t you going to work?” Kit was concerned. Her sister was a workaholic and if she was skipping out on the job, then things were much worse than she suspected.
“Scheduled vacation. Have you talked to Tina?”
“Yes.”
“How is she? Does she hate me?”
Kit stared at Bette. She was in no mood to break her heart further, but she was hesitant to spill all of the truth. “I don’t think hate. She’s disappointed. She doesn’t feel that she’s a good judge of character. I think she held back cause you’re my sister and all.”
“Was Alice there?”
“Uh-huh?”
“What did she say?”
“Again, Bette. I’m your sister. Alice called you out of your name a few times. Man, you’d think that you had slaughtered babies the way she was talking.”
“Do you think Tina will talk to me?”
“I know she wonders why you haven’t called.”
“I was giving her space.”
“We’ve got that gene, don’t we?”
“What gene is that, Kit?” Bette said sardonically.
“Fear of rejection. You’re not worried about giving Tina space, you’re worried about what she’ll say to you,” Kit suggested knowingly.
Bette took a sip of her cooled off coffee. She was terrified and couldn’t deny it. “I’ve done some bad things.”
“The affair…”
“It wasn’t an affair, it was a…thing.”
“You considered yourself married to Tina, didn’t you?”
Bette nodded.
“You cheated on her, didn’t you?”
She hated to nod again, but she did. “It had barely started. I slept with her once…well twice, I guess. A couple of times, that’s it.”
“Let me ask you, Bette, if Tina hadn’t found out, how many more times would you have slept with Candace? Girl, you’ve got to own it all and own the reasons why before you can move forward. That’s one thing I learned in rehab.”
“This isn’t rehab.”
“Oh, yes it is. You’ve got to take responsibility before you can get her back.”

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!

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.
