    1. Hi dbff,

      Glad you are reposting this story!

      I think i read it before a long time ago.

      Always a pleasure to read Tibette stories and i am glad several writers come back to keep this couple alive in Fanfic land!

    2. Nice beginning story. I have read several beginning stories of Tibette but not this one. They all have their individual characteristics and story lines from their meeting at the gallery until they become a couple. Since the bridge from meeting to becoming a couple was never covered in the original series, its wide open for a writers imagination and interpretation. I already like your Tina a lot. Can’t wait to see where you take us on this journey.. Post when you can.

    3. Hi DBFF:

      Excellent story, very good start, I know there are many stories about the earring, but I know that this one because you are writing it, will be different and especial.

      Poor Bette, she feels that she lost her gaydar, but indeed she didn’t, she felt that Tina was “in” and that was true, the situation is that Tina was perhaps too alienated with the straight life that she thinks she is a straight girl and even has a boyfriend, but her attraction for Bette and the feelings she starts developing talk by themselves.

      Now, is Tina who has to find out what or who she really is and what she wants.

      Bette, as usual, is making her life, but I believe she is very impressed by this Tina Kennard.

      Great story, DBFF, please post soon.
