“Bette, I have other questions for you and over time, we’ll explore them. From the little you’ve said, there seems like there may be some discourse with your father and we can talk about that. In the few minutes we have left, let me tell you what my role is. I’m not a spy for the department. I don’t send in reports detailing our conversations. I am bound by confidentiality to you. You signed forms allowing me to release updates to them and that’s what I do. Thus far, unless you’ve told anyone, they aren’t aware that you’ve not talked during sessions. My reports have stated that you are attending therapy and therapy is still necessary. I want you to feel comfortable here and for you to be able to work on the issues which are or may be affecting your life. Your ultimate goal is to return to work and I’d like to be able to help you achieve that goal. For whatever reason, today was the day that you decided to talk and I’m happy that you have. I can help you if you allow me to. I’m not sure if your past hesitancy is because you weren’t ready yet or felt that we would not be a good fit. If you are uncomfortable with me, I can refer you to someone else. I want you to be able to take advantage of being here.”
Refer me to someone else. Was she crazy? Maybe she was the one who needed therapy. I wasn’t going to see someone else and miss out on the opportunity to see her each week. “Tina, it took me awhile both to admit I needed help and to trust you enough to open up. I don’t need a referral elsewhere. That would only set me back to where we have been. If you’re willing to continue, I’m willing to really start working and stop wasting your time.” I flashed her that Porter smile and could see that she had to look away. Hmm…..the good doctor wasn’t good at hiding her feelings.
“Bette, you’re more than welcome to continue coming here. I just wanted to put it out there in case you wanted another choice. I’m glad you want to get started and I believe that if you are willing to work, we can get you back to your job. You must miss it.”

Glad Bette finally opened up though she obviously has her trademark control issue to deal with. Hope she’ll muster the guts to call Tina’s service number. I still don’t know how they’ll hook up without violating any ethical standards. Thanks for the rapid-fire posting, NAG! Have a great week… :>
Loving the frequent posts because your story is simply wonderful! Tina is getting herself in deep ethically. She needs to transfer Bette’s case if she is having feelings for her – even if she doesn’t pursue a relationship. I hope she realizes this. Maybe the universe will intervene and the two will see each other at a local bar over the weekend. I hope you are able to post soon. I feel withdrawal set in almost as soon as I read the last line of your postings! By the way, I really like the font on this chapter.
So, Bette’s talking to Tina because she wants to get to know her…better. Tina wants to refer her to another Dr. so she CAN get to know Bette better. What an interesting dilemma and one I’m sure you’ll treat us to in future chapters. Love your stuff NAG!
Bette want to talk to get to know Tina better and Tina want to transfer Bette to get to know her better. Love how you bring everything together.
Lovely. Thank you.
This was a lovely surprise to wake up to…and without having to strong arm you! LOL! :D What an enjoyable read with my coffee! Um…I never know what you’re going to do next with a story…so I am anxious for another post tho! (Hint) And it appears your other readers were quite happy with the multiple postings yesterday! :P So, uh, make us happy again…can we get another one today? Puh-leeze! I’ll rock G to sleep for you…heheh…
i am sooo loving your story.. and i particularly love how often you post too.. keep it up :)
Hi there… well i just read all 8 chapters… and let me say first i wish they never ended… so happy she is finally opening up and talking… love the relationship tina has with shane… and alice is alice… i loved the way shane was willing to “BREAK” tina in… i also wonder if they all know each other… i have to think alice knows shane… every one knows shane… and since tina did’t say bette’s name… i have a feeling they all know each other… so when is shane taking tina out again… this way bette and tina will meet… loving this story… you have 2 winners going on… love both of your stories… PPS
Holy cow, bette really did talk! i was wondering if she was going grunt yes or no to tina’s questions… the very fact that she gave up control by allowing tina to lead the session was a big step, police always have to be in control or quickly gain control. was wondering if bette is thinking about doing something in the art field going back to painting and showing her work, or even teaching since she has a masters for it….i’m with amanda somehow i think they are all know each and tina will figure this out if she goes out more with shane. update when you have time… no rushing from me! :)
Love it, love it, love it.Happy Bette has decided to open up to Tina and start trying to work out her feelings.for both work and Tina. This going to be great to see their new relationship develop. Thanks again for all the posts, it was wonderful to finish one chapter only to discover another one had been posted. That was great. Enjoyrd them all. The fonts and spacing have been great don’t know what anyone’s problems are. Have a great Monday and kiss the little guy. Post when you can.
Loving it!!! I am glad that Bette really talked to Tina. I hope they meet again in a club when Tina is out with Shane. Thanks PPS
