Tina’s hand flew to her mouth to stifle her cry. “Bette” she whispered. “Baby I can’t let us leave things like this. I love you baby.”
She quickly put the hair clip into her breast pocket, and pausing only to grab her car keys flew out of the door, and toward her Car.

Chapter 22
The tyres crunched on the firm ground within the compound as the vehicle sprung forward. Tina held onto the wheel tightly as she navigated her way out of the small outcrop of buildings before heading into the wide expanse of space separating her from her love.
Tina’s heart was beating fast in her chest, her stomach tied up in knots. *****, she thought. How did that go so wrong. She raised her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes, the landscape in front of her a blur.
She thought back to last night. How perfect everything had been.
They had started their evening, sat round the camp fire, Tina watching the excited look on Bette’s face as they had recounted stories of their last day out in the wilderness Together. “Did today really happen T?” Bette had asked, a look of quiet reverence on her face.
They had stopped at a small village in the morning to purchase essential supplies for their last meal together, Tina commenting that it was a shame they didn’t have oranges, as the local elephants seemed to like them so much. At Bette’s look of disappointment, Tina had picked up a ruby red grapefruit in the hope that it would hold the same attraction for them.
As they approached the slowly flowing river, Tina had pointed out the two females in the distance, ambling slowly along, a young elephant in tow. Tina had stopped the vehicle, and making sure they were safe from any other wildlife that may be lurking, gave Bette the grapefruit, and motioned for her to leave the vehicle. Bette had slowly and cautiously walked around to the front of the Land Rover, as Tina sat, camera in hand, hoping she would not be disappointed.
The baby elephant had looked across towards the women, aware of their presence but seeming to be unfazed by it, more interested in wrapping his trunk around the short tufts of grass in front of him. Bette had watched intrigued that the elephant seemed to display impatience at his inability to grab his meal, each time he curled and lifted his trunk, leaving the grass stubbornly swaying in the breeze in defiance.

Oh you know what? have you ever seen harold and kumar go to white castle?? if so I was having a flashback to the cheetha part. LMAO
Meeting each other half way? I hope so. Post again soon.
You have such a gift for describing human and animal interaction. The baby elephant is a perfect example. I could almost feel my own hairs standing on end.
Hopefully, the dust is Bette coming back to say good-bye to Tina and apologize. If they meet halfway, then they know they will be able to get through everything else until they see each other again.
TB what a way to leave us hanging, have now caught up with your story….now i think you are going to have a human stampede of T&B Fans on your hands if anything happens to Tina….LOL…
I hope it is another vehicle approaching that will help Tina out.
Awesome story just want to let you know, love it.

OMG! Please let it be Bette. We can’t have Tina getting run over in a stampede. That would be way too much drama for my Tibette heart. Beautiful chapter!
This excitement is killing me, tbsaver!! I’m soo glad that I don’t have to wait to find out what happens! I completely loved the story with Bette and the baby elephant. Beautiful.
