She hung up quickly before the tears fell. Once again, she was crushed between the reality of 2019 and the haze of her life in 2005. 2005 Tina belonged only to her. 2019 Bette and Tina were another matter entirely.
The last of the guests left after 11pm. Bette helped her sister close up the house and then she carried a passed out Dylan upstairs to his bed. Bette collapsed into the queen pillowtop in the guest bedroom, rising before dawn to head to work. Again, she awoke to find her nephew curled against her. She kissed his forehead and tucked him in before showering and dressing in a silvery gray pantsuit. She arrived at the gallery a little before 7 and walked through the exhibits, noting the empty spaces and additional adjustments.
She perused Sidney’s work. It had been brought over to the workroom by the movers. Some of the pieces had already been placed in the gallery. Others were waiting final adjustments and placement.
The quiet in the building helped settle her. Burying herself in the work centered her in ways that nothing else could. She could forget all about Sidney and Tina, concentrating on the lighting, placements, and intended impact of the artwork. When James and Maxwell arrived, Bette went over her expectations for the next few days. Maxwell was working on finalizing RSVPs and last-minute arrangements for the artist’s dinner. James was responsible for finalizing the operational details related to the artwork. The three of them sat in conference together until noon when another surprise luncheon arrived, courtesy of Ms. Chris Anderson, AKA Tina.
This time however, Tina didn’t accompany the meal. As the food was set out for Bette, Maxwell and the rest of the staff, Bette slipped into her office and called Tina to thank her. When her call was answered, she was surprised by the way Tina answered.
“So can I see you tonight?” Tina asked.
Bette sat down in her white, leather desk chair and felt her face flush. “Hey, T.”
“You didn’t answer me.”
Bette closed her eyes as the sound of Tina’s voice washed over her. “Tina, I think we should talk.”
“That doesn’t sound good.”

Hola me gustan tus capítulos pero son muy poquitas páginas quiero más páginas por favor
me encantan tus historias
A second post? Wow. Feels like I’m getting all my gifts for Christmas a few weeks later this year. Tina’s comeback on the show on Sunday, now two chapters of your brilliant story on one day :-) Thanks a lot.
My comment on the previous chapter still stands. I hope Tina feels motivated enough to clear up her own situation without waiting for Bette’s divorce.
It’s a little like their younger selves of your previous books. They were fine and secure in their love when they were near each other. Drawing strenght from each other and thriving as a couple. When they were apart, the influence of family and their own insecurities made them question the love they had.
It’s great that you still show those character traits of B + T’s younger self (Bette) or time-twin-self (Tina). I said it before, I still see the 19 year old Bette inside the body of her older self. Her young soul probably is calling out for her soulmate “Tina, I need you!”
Well, enough of the mushy me ;-) I have complete confidence in you that you won’t make the drama too big for T + B. Nothing that will keep them apart forever. Please?
Thanks again for the double treat.
So Tina went to Thanksgiving Dinner with the family. With or Without Henry? Has she made any more progress on the breakup of her marriage? Bette is about 2 months ahead of Tina is getting her divorce. California takes a bit of time to get a divorce even an uncontested one.
Sidney is still a wild card in that she still wants or falsely believes that Bette belongs to her. I think Henry is a vast unknown. Will he fight a divorce from Chris? A break is truly something Tina needs to get her actions in sync with her desires and goals. The problem with Tina is has she got the gumption to put the get the process underway to get her life in order? And even if she does, its bound not to be smooth sailing. So she needs to come clean with Bette if she truly believes Bette is her future.
I like this story…I just wish Bette would catch a break and allow things to go her way for once.
thanks for this chapter.
Thank you for the chapter!
First – Alice sometimes can gives good advise)
Second – is Bette surely not on the drugs now? Because her mood swings unusual for healthy woman. She called Tina, wanted to come to her, and when Tina refused but suggested to meet tomorrow – again completely shutting her out. And on the second day Bette call to her again and say to her “T”. I don’t know, very strange behavior.
Maybe Bette needs to see a therapist, who could worked with rape victims?
Secrets give life to more secrets. Hope they come clean with each other and are able to move forward together. Compelling story with great drama! Thanks
