“Bette, I apologize if that’s what you gleaned from my tone. I asked you if you had any concerns about the move that you’d like to address realizing that it is a big change and step for the two of you. Considering how your lives have been in upheaval for the past few months, I would expect some worries or uncertainties. I have no opinion on whether you should or shouldn’t.”
“That last part I don’t believe. You might not give your opinion, but I’m sure you have one…” She said tightly.
“Bette, where is this coming from?” Suzanne wasn’t going to jump on the defensive because Bette wanted her there.
Bette shook her head. “I don’t know. Yes.” She waved her hand. “You didn’t do anything. I’m feeling a little anxious,” she confessed.
“Why is that?”
She wiped her hand across her mouth and then nervously moved her hand to her temple where she twirled a few flyaway strands of hair. “Tina had an appointment with Foxworthy today. I haven’t heard from her. I can guarantee that once she told him our news he told her it was a mistake. This isn’t a mistake. This is absolutely the right decision for us. We’re both happier, ready to start over. Foxworthy likes to get things brewing. He knows that he can influence her. He’s too controlling.” Suzanne listened, thinking that Bette was also describing her personality and powers of persuasion with Tina. “He probably gave her that look of his, just enough of that all-knowing smirk, and some glib, typical Foxworthy one-liner like, ‘Tina, you’re still angry. Living with the subject of your anger will only frustrate you. Your frustration will lead to self-destruction. You don’t want that.’” Bette massaged her forehead with her thumb. She was getting a headache thinking about Tina with Foxworthy.
“Is that what you think he’d say?” Suzanne shook her head letting Bette know that an answer wasn’t necessary. “Bette, do you think this is a good use of your time—creating scenarios based on your feelings with not one trace of evidence to support these scenarios?”
“I think pattern substantiates this fear. I’ve worked with Foxworthy, too. He’s not like you, Suzanne. He’s argumentative; he isn’t particularly compassionate; he thinks he has all of the answers. Tina trusts him because of his so-called reputation. I’m afraid that all that we’ve been striving for with you, at home together, will be tossed away when he puts forward the idea of backsliding.”

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.

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
