It was 12:30 in the afternoon and Tina had decided that she needed to take a break from her unproductive day.  She had tried and tried to concentrate on the preproduction of Lez Girls but above the ridiculous nature of the story was the fact that there were a dozen roses on her desk.  She sat there staring at the roses wondering again what the note meant and she reached for it reading it again.

I loved you from the first time I saw you

I’ve never lived until I lived with you

I can’t believe I didn’t see it

Meet me tonight at the house

~Bette

A single tear rolled down her cheek.  She just sat there holding the note and reminisced on the wonderful times in the past that she had received handwritten notes from Bette. 

Like the day after their first date when she had received a single red rose and a card at her office at Alphaville.  ‘Tina I had a wonderful time with you last evening, I hope to spend more time with you. ~Bette.  She still had it, in a box full of cards, notes and love letters that she had received over the seven years of their relationship.

Tina thought about the card she had received the day of their commitment ceremony hand delivered by Kit, acting as Bette’s best woman and now also as her delivery woman ‘My dearest Tina, every day with you has been the greatest day in my life.  I sit here imagining a moment that I have felt happier and have come up with nothing.  No time in my life have I been happier than I am right at this moment.  I love you now and forever, my love, my T and my soon-to-be wife. Yours now and forever, Bette.’  Moments after that card was delivered she had gotten out of the limo and walked down the aisle in the sand to the shore where Bette was waiting for her in a beautiful white Stella McCartney suit with her long curly hair blowing in the gentle spring breeze.  Their eyes met, the breath caught in her chest and she stepped forward to meet her future, her love, her soul mate.
