I turned around and found myself looking into a pair of kind ebony eyes; I laughed, “It’s just tastes rather…”
“It’s just bad, I assure you. There are no other words to describe it,” the stranger confessed, laughing as well; I found myself drawn to her rather jovial personality.
“Oh, forgive my manners, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Helena Peabody and this is my wife, Bette Porter,” I said, turning slightly to introduce Bette.
“Lovely to meet you,” the stranger replied, smiling at the both of us and moving to hold the hand of a woman who was standing a few feet away from her, “This is my partner, Leisha Elliot, and my name is Tasha. Tasha Williams.”

“Any other thoughts on intimacy between a couple, despite HIV or AIDS?” Doctor Sweets asked.
Tasha raised her hand, “My partner has been suffering from HIV for about seven years now,” Tasha said to the group, “But we still make the effort to be intimate with each other when we can, taking the necessary precautions. Intimacy is very important to keep a relationship together. We cannot forget what many others would take for granted.”
“Thank you for sharing that with us, Tasha,” Doctor Sweets told her.
“We have some unfortunately news now however,” Leisha said, taking Tasha’s hand in hers, her expression becoming crestfallen, “We went for another check-up yesterday and it seems that my T cell count has dropped…” gasps and murmurs were heard from around the small group, “But, Tash and I are still remaining optimistic…”
“And we are making use of all the time we have together,” Tasha added, looking into Leisha’s eyes, “We want to treasure every minute.”
“That’s good to hear,” Doctor Sweets said, “In many cases, it’s good to be prepared. Still, despite this progression in Leisha’s case, we must continue to believe and hope.”
From my seat, I was still trying to hide my expression of surprise at Tasha’s positive attitude towards her partner’s condition.
“She seems rather calm for someone who’s partner is nearly on her deathbed,” Bette whispered to me.
“Perhaps she’s already more or less prepared…they seem to have a very loving relationship,” I replied, “I can’t help but feel terrible for her, you know? I can…I can completely understand what she’s going through…”

Hello My Beautiful Dragonfly… you continue to handle with such grace a delicate and sensitive subject and make it your very own opus… the intimacy you have shown between these two woman is incredible gift that they have to give one another especially in this unique situation which they are starting to realize isn’t that unique after all… I still feel that there is something beneath the surface with Tasha and her partner as they are winding down there paths in life I feel that Tasha might create new waves within our lovely couple… hence the title of your story… as for “Rebekah” I love that name… its a beautiful one to behold… you continue to captivate me and move me and inspire me beyond words… love and hugs, Always and forever, JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels and your ever Loving Cuzzie)
really loved the update!!!
What an enchanting update, dearest and beloved niece of ours! It is good to see that Bette reconsidered rekindling the lost intimacy with Helena. Indeed it is a very important part in a relationship. Therapy within the HIV group will help them see how other couples cope with the illness and how they can make their time together worth while. As for their baby girl, the name just suits her perfectly. This new spark on their lives was truly needed. Can’t wait for your next chappy. PPS Hugs and kisses on both your cheeks. – Lucero & Marsha (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick)
Lovely post, glad to see they were finally able to bring back some intimacy in their relationship. It scares me tho to read Bette has lost so much weight :( You better not let hr die euni, your hear me !
Thank you for the reprieve from pain for yet another chapter, euni. However, yes, Sugar and I knows…(nose)…heheh…when we get a strong whiff of rodent lurking about. :P *Wagging warning finger* Be Nice!
Wow oh Wow! That last line was so beautiful. They both are handling this so remarkably well. Thank you for this chapter Euni – it was wonderful to share in their reconnection after all the pain and hurt.
Great chapter kiddo! I’m glad to finally see this couple have a little happiness at least for the moment. Before you decide to rip my heart out. Yes I’m the one who smells something is up,and trust me when I say that I doubt it would be a rat. How could we be so lucky? And just like Belena the weight lost also cause me a little concern, but I do believe it’s just due to the meds she taking. And let’s face it she wasn’t taking good care of herself in the begining. So with a ray of hope and support from family and friends. As well as truly taking care of her health she can live a very long time. Maybe there will be someone in the group who has lived with it for 20 or more years. People need hope. I need hope! And finally on a ligther note will we learn more about what Tasha’s real role in this on going saga of yours? But all in all I really did in enjoy this chapter and I can’t wait to read your next installment.
