CHAPTER 5
Bette’s day had gone without a hitch. She looked at her watch and decided, it was time to call it a day. She would go home, jump in her pool for a few laps, have dinner and get ready for her evening.
Alice was right, she needed to let her hair down a bit. It had been too long. It was time. She chuckled to herself at the thought of unleashing the Porter power on some unsuspecting soul. She had had this reputation once. Tonight she would see if this was still the case. Realising how arrogant this sounded, she muttered to herself "don’t count your chickens until they have hatched, Porter!"
With that she headed to her car to face the first hurdle of the evening, traffic!
Dana’s car pulled up in front of Tina’s building.
"Do you want me to walk up with you?" the physiotherapist enquired.
"No thanks, I can manage!" Tina answered confidently. "Though, I would not mind if you could call at the door later on, when you pick me up…. just to check that I have not made some serious fashion faux pas….after all if this is to be my come back on the dating scene, I’d like at least to look coordinated" she continued jokingly.
"Sure thing, I’ll be round at 9……call me…if you need anything, you know I am only round the block!" Dana offered.
Tina opened the door, swung her legs out, unfolded her white stick and lifted herself out of the car. She started the sweeping movement of her cane until she hit the first of the 12 steps which lead to the entrance of her building. She remembered what they looked like from before her accident, pink sandstone tiles with tiny flakes of quartz which glistened in the sun.
She placed her right foot on the first step and felt the familiar wobble of the tile. All she needed to do now was count the steps and she’d be at the top in no time. This had become child’s play nearly. She reached the front door of the building and turned to wave at Dana. That was her friend’s cue to leave, now that Tina had made it to the top of the stairs. She heard the car’s horn and the sound of the car moving back into traffic.

This story is just starting and I love it already. I just want to say this: Thank you so much for sharing your insight about what it is like to be born or to become blind. One can tell you know a lot about the issue, and all the details you are giving us about Tina’s experience and daily routine are very interesting to me. I always love Tibette’s stories of course, but this one is doubly fascinating because of that element. And I thank you for that. PPS! K.
This is a great fic. I hope Bette isn’t scared off by Tina’s blindness, also I hope Tina is ok with the save. PPS
