‘What are you afraid of?’
‘That you’ll never trust me again and I’ll have to learn to live without you.’
‘I’m afraid you’ll leave before I can figure this out and I’ll never see you again. I’m afraid you’ll break my heart, again.’
‘Do you still love me?’
‘You know I do.’
‘Do you believe I’m sincere about wanting to work through this?’
‘Yes.’
‘Why do you think I’m going to leave?’
‘Alice and Kit both think you might. You thought about taking the job in
‘I don’t think I can “bow out gracefully” and just sit back and watch you fall in love with someone else. I may need some distance, for a while anyway.’
‘Don’t you think it will be just as difficult for me to watch you fall in love again?’
‘I don’t think I’ll find love again.’
‘Bette, why would you say that?’
‘Because I didn’t know what love was until you, I never thought much about falling in love and all that goes with it. When we found each other I realized I wanted to spend my life with you, have babies and grow old with you, watch our grand children grow. I can’t imagine that with anyone else. You’re my first, last and forever. Without you it just wouldn’t be the same. It just wouldn’t be right to be with someone else and always be thinking of you. If I end up leaving it doesn’t mean we would never see each other again.’
‘What, you think we would just run into each other someday?’
‘You just never know T. You could walk into a gallery someday and out of nowhere you’ll hear the sound of my voice and all the love we ever felt for each other will just come rushing back.’
Tina smiled, ‘you seem to have answers for everything today.’
‘It could happen.’
‘Well don’t stop now.’
‘Okay, your heart, well, that’s the most important of all. How can I dare ask for that back, I was so careless the first time? I promised you your heart would always be safe with me. I broke that promise and I broke the vows I took. I can’t undo that no matter how much I wish that I could. All I can do is tell you how sorry I am, how ashamed I am of being so weak, turning to someone else instead of coming to you. I can tell you with absolute certainty that the reason I cheated had nothing to do with you.’

Wow that was amazing. Sorry you weren’t feeling well. Glad to see you are feeling better.
Bette, a defeatist? Well, I guess everyone has their breaking point. I just hope she doesn’t do anything rash or premature ’cause my heart is still waiting for Tina’s fears to dissipate enough for her to realize that she and Bette deserve a second chance. Thanks for the update. I hope you feel better soon.
Get well soon. Tina needs to realize she does deserve Bette and let them both have a second chance.
Wow this really good, and amazing story, Bette and Tina hava a difficult time to figure out how they have to make their relationship back to normal and how important of their life. I hope they work it out as well. Please write more. Love it. “I hope you get better soon”. Good to see you writing back again, thank you.!
That conversation was very real.. true to life. My heart is broken at the thought of Bette leaving..
I miss you and your stories! welcome back! I love your stories because you didn’t make it overtly melodramatic. Your take on Bette is really good and even on Tina’s. I hope you feel better soon.. We’ll just see how it plays out hmm..?
So glad to have you back–wonderful chapter.
I don’t see Bette as a defeatist here (no offense seven) I think she just loves Tina so much that she is respecting her (possible) choice…Bette committed the ultimate marital sin and to ask Tina to recommit and trust again could be impossible…I really love how you have kept this so realistic, my opinion anyway…these guys do love each other but sometimes love isn’t enough…on that note I really do hope they work it out and get back together but thanks for keeping it real…nice tribute to sea! Bravo!!!
I’ve been missing this like crazy. Good to see you back. Well done!
I could read what you write all day, hoping love will keep these two together.
This was a beautiful chapter…the emotions, the processing, the dialogue…all very real. I’ve said it before, I love this story. Your writing style is so easy to read.
Oh, and thanks for the mention of my story…but let’s not make your Bette and Tina wait 15 years before they can be together again!! Please!! :)
Missed your story tremendously, you do such an amazing job writing it. I will be sad when it’s completed…surely hope B&T lovers like myself, will be happy with the ending.
my god, they’re a torturous pair; kit’s right…let it play itself out bette don’t precipitate a premature end…brilliant writing.
