“Thanks.”
“But my question is still on the table—have you forgiven yourself?”
“No.”
“Why?”
“Because it’s unforgiveable. I’ve known cheaters and have seen what they do to the people they love. This will be hanging over us forever. And I know I can look at her today and say you don’t have to worry; I won’t do this again; you can trust me, but what if I’m wrong?” Bette’s eyes teared.
“Bette, part of therapy is to learn your trigger points, identify them, and find ways to deal and cope with them in a mature, rational, and healthy way,” Suzanne stated calmly. Her client was on edge, busily twirling her hair, biting her lip, blinking her eyes repeatedly, and so obviously trying to hold back tears. “You’re over halfway there. One thing you might try is to let things happen without writing your own script. Dr. Foxworthy might have said to Tina, ‘That sounds like a positive step, like you’re moving in the right direction.’ He might have said, ‘You need to slow down and determine if this is the best thing for you in the long run.’ He probably offered no opinion, but suggested numerous options. Why prepare for one, any, or all of those possibilities? Why not wait for Tina to come home and tell you if she wants to? Or ask her?”
Bette nodded. “You’re right. I do know that. It’s not the easiest route for me. I like to be prepared.”
Suzanne barely acknowledged that bit of insight. Instead, she looked at her watch and said, “I know you told me you needed to leave a little early today.”
“Yeah,” Bette smiled and her face warmed. “We ordered a new bed and it’s arriving later this afternoon. I need to be home when the truck arrives.”
Suzanne smiled.
“We haven’t slept together yet. We will tonight.”
“Well, good luck with that.”
Bette and Suzanne stood and as Suzanne walked her client to the door, Bette turned to her and said, “I feel like it’s going to be our first time.”
“In a way, it is.” Suzanne lightly patted Bette’s back as she guided her out the door.

Portia, your story is pure genius. Congrats on finishing, and I so look forward to reading more of your writing in the future.
Portia just read your series excellent!!
Please write some more. Wonderful series.
I have been patiently waiting for your new chapter, wow was I blown away. I just Loved how you told your story with so much love along with the heartache that a couple feels with infidelity. It is the most intimate betrayle ones partner can do. It opens up so many doubts which you have explored thru your story along with ” we all have our own stories of our childhood” you also explored that thru your story which tells a lot how one’s behavior is in a relationship. I hope that you write more for us readers to enjoy. Thank-you very much.
This series was amazing!!!!
Portia, I just hope that my We are Family! Series comes out a fraction as good as this series was. You’re good, write some more, please! :D
Such detail, such intensity, such love…you just let it all out with full humility…I hope you find time to give us a deeper look into your delicious imagination…I’m a true Portia fan forever!!!

This is a great and captivating fanfic!! Are you sure it is the end? There are still loose ends like Bette not wanting to discuss her mother with the therapist yet, couple counseling (is it over?), hot love-making on the night of exchanging rings…you know :)

Thank you for the final chapter. This story tops my list…
Great work!
I’ve greatly enjoyed you story.You’ve done a great job making us feel all the emotiona that Bette&Tina feel or felt.
Portia – I loved your tory – I printed the whole thing out & read it like a novel – you write so fluidly and handle powerful emotion and angst so well and then wrap it all up neatly – what more could we ask for – a good meaty read – I admire greatly the ability to get into the head of a character – I can’t write for Toffee – but I read avidly. Please do create more of this quality – I’ll start your next story & keep looking out for your name. Thanks
Bravo! Very well done! Your descriptions were fantastic. I will keep an eye out for more of your work.

Please, keep up the good thing going and THANK YOU PORTIA, for sharing!!!
