The Journey
Bette: I return home and Tina has packed clothes and food for all of us. I stand in the living room surveying the food packed in the basket. I must have a confused look on my face. Tina continues to bring the bags out one after the other, one in each hand each time. She puts them on the ground and turns to get the next two.
Tina: "There are not many shops close to the beach house." I say without stopping what I am doing.
Bette: "Right." and wonder what I have agreed to. "The kids are still in the car?" I state but really asking whether I should get them out.
Tina: I bring the last of the bags. "I’m ready, if you are." I say as I put the last bag down clearly making reference to more than our luggage.
Bette: Silently I pick up two bags and head out to the car. I put them in the boot and I can see the two girls, I smile at them and a sudden wave of sadness comes over me. Momentarily I am devastated, knowing why we are taking this trip and that it is our last chance to make it as a couple and to save our family. I silently ask myself if I am up to it. I must have been daydreaming because I hear Tina with the last to bags to go in the boot. "Sorry" I mumble, feeling guilty for letting my wife who has just had a baby carry heavy bags around.
Tina: "It’s OK" I say genuinely and start to reach out but then think better of it. I make my way to the passengers seat happy to let Bette drive like she would in happier times.
Bette: I close the boot and see the sun. The sun should start to go down not long after we arrive I think. I open the door and climb in the drivers seat. I clear my throat. "Did you want to drive?" I suddenly ask, conscious of habits we have fallen into. I am not 100% sure why that should be a hard question, other than Tina and I talking about anything right now is hard.
Tina: "Would you mind?" and this time I do reach out and touch Bette’s arm. I see her eyes follow my hand. I can sense her confusion. I used to love it when Bette drove with the top down and the music on and I would rest my chin in my hand and just watch the sights go by. For a spilt second I think I should tell her that. I decide against it.

Very beautiful, I too have missed your calm voice as you move these ladies through all their feelings.
I know what I want, Tina, no Bette, no Tina, no Bette. Oh damn too hard to choose. Okay Tina wants Bette. I am hoping that Tina is able to get through to Bette. Bette is scared and I can understand, but she still loves tina or she would not be there with her.

Ok I have a little question, ok Tina just have a baby and now she drink beer, I dont think Tina can drink beer or wine right now that she is breastfeed right. OK post soon please, thanks!
I believe Bette needs to listen to Tina. you can’t solve problems if your in different places thanks
So glad you are back. I missed your story and your writing. You did a wonderful job fixing them before, I hope you can do it again. Thanks for posting.
Excellent story. You have a good ear for their convos. They are so indecisive, on tenterhooks. Keep it up.
this is so good you are back ! there is an unbelievable intensity in your story, you describe the scenes so well, and the dialogue always fits perfectly with the context. I love it, thank you ;-)
great to see you back! I’ve read this & now i can’t remember for my life what Bette has done in this story to upset Tina – so i’ll just have to go & re-read it all (what a lovely excuse!)
I am so glad that you’re back. Hope the real life interruption wasn’t too serious and that you came through it safe and sound. Hope to see many more posts…you’re one of my fave writers!
Yeah, I have to agree with Tina on her last sentense. As long as that’s what you want, you can have it again. All the emotional matters could be solved by emotion.
So glad you are back. I love this story.
i’m happy you’re back…i hope both B&T want the same thing – each other
Thanks for the chapter. I am still in awe of your ability to write. Keep it up, take your time and carry on making it special.
So happy to see that you back! ^_^ Hope that Bette sees thru the haze and realize they want one another. Can’t wait for your next update …
