Bette: So how was the beach?
Tina: Angie and I had a good day. Fortunately, you included those blankets for us, so we kept ourselves out of the wind. We did a little cuddling to stay warm.
Bette: Sounds lovely actually. Angie has always been a cuddler.
Tina: She has been hasn’t she.
The kettle started to whistle, Tina’s phone went off and Jordi’s parents blew the horn for Angie.
Tina: This is Carrie. I need to take this.
Bette: Do people not come to the door anymore to get their dates?
Angie: Bye Mama B and Mama T, I’ll be home around 9:00.
Bette: Bye Boo… give me a call if you need anything. We will try to be home by then.
Tina stepped into the backyard to take the call.
Tina: Hey Carrie. Are you home?
Carrie: I’m getting a cab to head home. Just wanted to let you know I was here.
Tina: Have a good flight?
Carrie: I slept most of the way. It was fine. Just long.
Tina: That’s good. Listen, I have no idea what my schedule is for the week. But I’m going to stay at least through the election so I can take care of Angie.
Carrie: The election is Tuesday night, isn’t it? Well, I hope Bette wins, then maybe her life will settle down.
Tina: Well, I do not know about settle down. But I know it will be different. She will then be a public official and of course she will be subject to public scrutiny on a constant basis. LA is a big city and being its mayor is a big deal.
Carrie: So how was your day at the beach?
Tina: It was good. Windy. Bette sent some blankets for our picnic, and we made good use of them. I’m afraid that our jackets were just not enough. We ended up coming back to the house earlier than we planned.
Carrie: So, what have you planned for tonight?
Tina: Bette and I are meeting Shane and Alice for dinner. I haven’t seen the girls in a long time, so we’re getting together.
Carrie: Oh good… you can give them our good news!
Tina: Yeah…. our wedding. I’ll also tell them that it’s not going to be on the calendar for at least a year.

Hey Martha,
I’m very happy with the quick updates! And you post them right after my work, coincidence?
Tina has seen the light thanks to Angie and her response about Tina’s and Carrie’s engagement.
I’m happy that Tina takes responsibility for her actions and will look for a therapist to really work through her issues and as result will be happy with herself again, with or without Bette and a possible relationship.
Very wise of Bette to not give in or give Tina a definitely answer about her question if she wants to be in a committed relationship again. Tina has to show due to her actions she can be trusted and show that she really wants to be with Bette and not run away when they hit a rough pad.
Tina does the right thing to break it of with Carrie regardless of she will have a relationship again with Bette.
It was a good conversation between Bette and Tina, let’s see if they can work it out.
But first a family weekend in Big Bear, a moment to connect as a family again.
Bibi,
Thanks for the comment. Tina has done some thinking, and she is at least saying the right things. Now let’s see if her actions reflect her words. Yes, a family weekend at Big Bear Mountain.
Personally, I like that Bette is being an observant mom to Angie. That is one of the little things that I wanted to show in Bette. She knows her role as mom, and she see things which non-moms don’t see. A subtle reminder that Tina has not been around, and Bette has.
As to my posting schedule? I am on east coast of US. I presume you are in Europe somewhere. I have no idea what your schedule is, and my schedule is so sporadic that all of this is really coincidence.
I do appreciate you posting a response…. makes my day and my week and even my month.
I live in Europe, good guess!
Bette is an amazing Mom, knows her daughter really well.
It seems Tina is seeing the light and the errors of her ways ….. and starting to do something about it !!
It will be a long road! Bette needs to be sure, I don’t think Tina realised until now the devastation she caused Bette and Angie. Slow and steady, with full and openness to both is what Tina must concentrate on now. She will get there, she is so determined but it will take time. Therapy seems a good way to start so she can reevaluate her actions and the consequences. I do fell sorry for Carrie, she’s done nothing wrong but fall 8n love with a woman who’s still in love with her ex! That’s life but she doesn’t deserve the heartache that’s coming her way. Going to read on now !
Thankyou Janice
Sometimes, people are just blind to the effect they have on others. And of course, when people never deal with each other, there is no way to see what is going on with them.
Carrie too is a victim in this story. But you are right, people do not always get what they deserve, and life is often not fair. However, Tina would be doing Carrie wrong to continue her relationship with her knowing that Bette is whom she loves. Carrie deserves someone who loves her as much as she loves them and that will never be Tina.
Thanks for reading and for commenting….
