“Not at all. That didn’t play into it at all.” Bette accepted what Tina said, but doubted her nonetheless. There had been few times in their seven years that the race issue had ever come up. In fact, the only other time she could remember it was with Marcus as the sperm donor. She angled her head, evaluating just how much to tell her partner. “Tina, what do you want to know?”
“Everything. I wish I didn’t want to know, but I do.”
“Well, when you discovered it, it had barely started. The first time we had ever been together that way was less than a week before the opening night. I think three days, maybe. I wanted to stop it, but I couldn’t seem to. It was like this speeding train that was moving faster and faster and all I could do was hope for the best. I couldn’t stop, so I guess I wanted you to stop me. I was miserable.” Bette reached for Tina’s hand and held it only for a moment before Tina slid it from under Bette’s grasp and onto her lap. “I don’t know how you figured it out. I can only think of one time that Candace and I were even alone together. We were talking in one of the smaller galleries.”
“Yes, that’s where I saw you.”
Bette exhaled air through her nose. “I know the CAC inside and out, every nook and cranny in the whole Museum. I could have taken her anywhere—to my office, to the restroom, a more secluded spot, but I chose a semi-private gallery where anyone could see us, where you could see us. I’m convinced I wanted to be caught. But, I don’t recall us doing anything…we were just talking, I remember that.”
Tina began as if she were giving a report. “She was leaning against a post and you were standing in front of her, playing with her necklace, smiling at her, and then you started to walk away and as you did, you took her hand and even as you were walking, you held on to her, letting her hand slide from yours.” Tina began to weep steadily. “Like you really didn’t want to let go. You turned to her and smiled one last time. You guys looked so intimate. Bette, my heart hit the floor. You were supposed to love only me.”

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

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 :)

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.
