Bette fell back down into her chair, a look of complete disbelief on her face.
Even in her worst moments, after Tina’s disappearance Bette had not believed Tina capable of lying.
"Lied to me? Why would she lie to me?"
Becky looked down at her hands, evidently summoning the courage to continue.
"She wanted to protect you."
Bette smirked. "Protect me? Calling off our marriage was her way of protecting me? I don’t believe that! What I do believe is that she was looking for a way out."
The doctor got up once more. The returning anger visible in her demeanour. The surgeon turned her back to her companion. How much influence did Becky have in Tina’s decision? The brunette could feel resentment growing inside her.
She heard a sigh and the soft voice behind her carried on with her explanation.
"And this is precisely what Tina wanted you to believe," Becky paused before resuming, watching with caution as the doctor paced impatiently behind her desk.
"I can assure you though my sister wasn’t looking for a way out. The truth is, she…" Becky stopped suddenly, as though the words had caught in her throat.
Bette turned to look at her. The doctor did not speak, her silence instead demanding this elusive truth be exposed for all to hear.
Becky lifted her gaze to meet the one she could feel pressing on her with all the weight of cynical expectation.
Swallowing a sob, she continued, " The truth is she couldn’t bear the thought of you having to watch her die."
*****
Becky pushed the bedroom door opened and considerately walked into the space. Quietly, she took a seat on the edge of the bed where her sister had spent most of her days since she had showed up, on her door step unexpectedly, a few days ago.
Tina was clutching a photograph and her face told a story of utter misery.
"You know I have to admit, you make for a striking couple," Becky began, admiring the picture in Tina’s hand.
The younger sibling let out a deep sob before wiping yet another tear. "Once," she whispered in a weepy voice, "It’s over now."

There’s a typo on my copy. I think your fingers must have been off by one key. Where you’ve typed “The End,” you must have meant to say “Yjr Rmf,” because you surely didn’t meant to end this so soon. Not after what you’ve put us through. ;-)
No!!!! It can’t be over?? Please give us a new story soon.

Wonderful chapter. Can’t believe you ended the story so soon. Love does indeed conquer all. You are one of a few that can pack so much into a few chapters. Hate to see this loving story end so soon, can we get a SEQUEL or and EPILOGUE or something. Not quite ready to let them go just yet. At anyrate thanks for sharing such a wonderful story with us.

Well I didn’t see THAT coming! Interesting twist Kins and as always, beautifully written (including another word nerd gold star moment ;0) and I forgive you in for that last cliffy – I know you can’t help yourself (lol). But I agree with slntdr and the rest of your fandom; HOW CAN YOU BE DONE WITH THIS??? Are you _sure_ there isn’t more . . . perhaps an epilog ??? Before I get too carried away with missing you I have to say THANK YOU bunches for all the time you give to sharing your stories here. You are one of my most favorite contributors. Lastly, congrats on the success of the fundraiser. That’s an awesome accomplishment for a very worthy cause. Cheers and xx – iHH.
Omg ! Amazing work as always. There’s not much that I can say that hasn’t be said already but I have to say, this story was definitely a favorite. I wish it didn’t have to end and like everyone else, I’m wishing for an epilogue lol I also wanted to congratulate you on the successful fundraiser also :] Can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us, thank you for writing !
