    The Balloon Festival

    “You slept with her?” Kit interjected.

    “No. I slept in her bed. She spent the night at one of the houses she used for the movie. Her shoot ran late last night and she had an early meeting at the house this morning. So she just stayed there. And I stayed here…alone.”

    Kit could hear the sadness in Bette’s voice.

    Bette exhaled.

    “I haven’t seen her since Thursday night when I asked her to go The Balloon Festival with me. Now…I’m…”

    “Nervous. You’re nervous, Baby Girl. You’re nervous because you want her back.”

    Silence.

    “What did I tell you the other night?”

    “To stop overthinking and just talk to her.”

    “So, I don’t see the problem. Today is a perfect day for you to talk to her about all of your feelings.”

    “What time are you going to this Balloon Festival?”

    “We are meeting at 9.”

    “Okay. So you have a couple of hours to pull yourself together. Take a shower. Wash your face. Put on something that’s gonna make you feel confident. Something that’s going to make Tina take notice. Leave your hair down. Tina loves it when you have your hair down. Remind her and you of who the hell you are.”

    Bette smiled.

    “Get there early. Bring her a cup of coffee. Oh and some kind of danish. Why am I telling you all of this? You know what to do. You know what she likes.”

    “Thanks, Kit.”

    “Talk to her. Don’t come back to LA without really talking to her. You have all day.”

    “Okay.”

    “Baby Girl?”

    “Yeah?”

    “I’m proud of you.”

    “I love you, Kit.”

    “Love you too.”

    That’s exactly what Bette needed. A pep talk from her big sister.

    “Okay, Tina Kennard. Here goes everything.”

    She sent Adam a text.

    Bette: I’m treating you and anyone else you’d like to bring to The Balloon Festival today. No arguments. Just need to know total number and I will arrange everything.

    Adam: That isn’t necessary, Bette. Please. I have to respectfully decline. Besides, it’s against company policy.

    Bette: I said no arguments. Send me the number. And let me worry about company policy.

    It was several minutes before Adam texted back.

    Adam: 3. And thank you so much.

    1. Wow wow wow!!!! What a chapter!!!!

      It started out so positive and gave me hope, hope that thanks to this day they were one step closer to rebuilding their relationship but by the end of the chapter I was in tears and I could literally feel the pain of Bette in particular. She was harsh in her words but it was really what Tina needed to hear, the hard cold truth what her behavior and leaving Bette did. Bette’s words that Tina loves her but doesn’t feel that, ouch!!!
      Tina seemed to understand what her leaving Bette had done before this talk but she didn’t seem to feel the real impact, what it did to Bette emotionally.

      How can you tell someone that you are leaving her because they loved you too much. I sincerely hope that Tina finally understands that saying sorry and I love you is not enough but that she needs to show it in action.

      And I fell in love with AJ, what an incredibly cute and sweet kid, love at first sight between him and Bette. Tina is only now realizing how good a mother Bette can be, although she already knew that from the flashback she had earlier. But that she didn’t see herself that Bette also had a lot of grief and pain after the miscarriage and only realized that after Kit and Alice told her, I can somewhat understand because she had the miscarriage but it was also Bette’s baby, it feels a bit double, I think Tina, as she says herself, is a spoiled brat that took Bette for granted, at a certain point she didn’t even see the small things that Bette did for her and their relationship.

      I notice that I find it difficult to like this Tina. She’s trying really hard and I hope she really knows how to win Bette back, but you can try too hard. She has to give Bette time and space and stay in therapy because she really has to learn that not everything goes the way she wants.

      I am a Tibetter at heart, so I fervently hope that they will find their way back to each other.

      I am a big fan of this story, hope to read another chapter soon!!!

      • Thank you so much. I’m glad you’re a big fan. It’s been fun to write and to really explore both of their points of view. Don’t give up on Tina just yet. I think she may surprise you in the coming chapters.

        Yes, it did start out positive. But relationships are messy. Especially when you have a love like Bette and Tina. It gets a little messy. And they are in the crux of the mess.

        Isn’t AJ the best. So sweet. I love the relationship between Bette and AJ. So important to see Bette so gentle and loving.

        They are going to have to talk about Bette’s grief before they can move forward. And that’s gonna be a doozy!

        Thanks for reading!

    2. Damn, Im crying now. Okay, damn you Tina, you broke your forever love. You better buy a gallon of superglue and get to sticking!What a great chapter! I can’t read it again tonight. PPS

    3. I am a Tibetter since TLW Season 1 and a great fan of this story. It’s been a month since your last chapter, eagerly awaiting for your next chapter…
