Chapter 5

Bette walked into the room. She smiled. Tina was sleeping, her head lobbed to one side. Bette slowly put the car seat down. Jonathan was sleeping and looking as quite like Tina, they both slept the same way. Bette had brought him today because she was missing him so much. Bette sat herself next to Tina and gently took her hand. She then opened the photo album on the counter. She flicked through the pages and found their wedding photo. It was just the two of them looking into each others’ eyes, their foreheads leaning against each other. Tina was in a form-fitting long white dress, her hair curled and out of her face. Bette wearing a white suit. Their hands were locked together, both of them smiling. It was the photo that Tina had set up.

            "What are you looking at?" Tina said slowly waking up. Bette looked at her before gently turning the book.

            "I took that," Tina said at once.

            "You did," Bette grinned. "You took loads of photos on your camera that day, but that one means the most to us."

            "I set it up, set the time and ran to you," Tina reached out her hand shaking as she touched the photograph. Her hand shot back with a gasp.

            "What is it?"

            "We made love on the beach?" Tina said. Bette grinned and nodded.

            "Where?" Bette asked. The doctor had suggested that as memories came to her they were to question her to see how much she could remember.

            "South of France. Two days after we got married," Tina said slowly. "We drove there. In our MG. You were so passionate and gentle, I came over and over again."

            "Yes," Bette said rather proud of herself. "It was the start of an amazing honeymoon."

            "I want to remember it. We were so young."

            "We still enjoy each other."  Bette grinned.

            "I’m sure we do!" Tina laughed.

Bette grabbed her hand, "do you want me to tell you about the last time we were together? It was about a week ago."
