Bette was not the only one managing to hold up her side of a casual conversation while thinking of something else. There were images that Tina tried to expunge from her mind, but they continued to pop up. This happened at the oddest times with nothing being said or specifically done to bring them on, yet there they were. Bette’s long, slim fingers broke open a crusty roll and Tina watched as she dipped a small piece in the puddle of olive oil on the plate. Tina wondered about those fingers and Candace. Had Bette topped Candace as she had almost always done with her or was Candace the one in control? Did Bette use her fingers to get Candace off? What did they do together? What was it about that carpenter that made Bette change her way of life?
Bette popped the bit of bread into her mouth and looked at Tina. “What?”
Tina felt the tears welling in her eyes. “Bette?” She knew she had to say something, but was uncertain if she could get through it. “Why Candace? Why did you choose her?”
Bette drew back in surprise. She didn’t see that coming at all. She blinked several times. “What—what do you mean?”
Tina began to cry. She leaned forward so that Bette could hear her. “Why her? I’m just wondering.”
“Tee, I don’t know. No reason. We were having major problems. I was pissed off, stressed out. I didn’t want to do it. I kept saying no…” Bette paused, shook her head. “No, that’s not true. I made feeble attempts at no, but I wanted to. I wanted that escape and she was there.”
“But was there something special about her? Was she able to give you something that I was never going to be able to give you?”
A red flag went up. Bette didn’t know what Tina meant by that comment. “Are you asking if it was a race thing? Are you really going to bring race into this?” Bette’s mouth was closed, her jaws clenched as she stared across the table.
“No,” Tina said much too quickly. She bit her lower lip and asked softly, “Should I?”

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!!!

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.
