“I’m never gonna go away from her, I’m sure of that,” Bette says to the girl, but looking into my eyes. “Now, wait for just a second, Tee.”

Bette makes her way through the crowd, which causes some complaints, and tries to get the attention of the stand owner.

“Your name is tea?” The girl asks, her eyes wide. “Whoa – and is your friend coffee? Because her skin is brown.”

“Emily,” her father says, trying to sound severe but serious all the same.

“No offence,” he says to me. “Kids…”

“I know, don’t worry. And my name is Tina, actually.” I extend my hand and both the man and his daughter shake it. Just then, Bette returns with a wide smile on her face.

“It’s taken care of sir, you can chose something else,” she says, sounding totally satisfied.

“Bye, and thank you for giving it back,” Bette says to the girl.

“As long as daddy buys a present for me with that 50 bucks it’s okay,” she shrugs. The man and his daughter go back to the stand to pick something else and I take Bette’s hand.

“Bette Porter, you are crazy. Did you seriously give him 50$ for that teddy bear?”

“Might have,” she mumbles. “But that girl was adorable, wasn’t she?”

“She could have been your daughter,” I laugh, imagining how our kids would be like. “I love you so much, you know.

“I know,” she winks, and attempts to pull me into an embrace. Burt doesn’t make that very easy and we go back to the others. I’m just telling her about how Emily tought her name sure had to be ‘coffee’ when I see Seth.

Lara, Helena, Shane, Carmen, Lee and Gary and gone.

Tuomas smiles as he sees the huge teddy bear. “Let me guess – Bette won that for you, Tina?”

“Actually, she even paid 50$ for it.”

Bette tells them the story and they all shake their heads.

“You are so nuts,” Alice said. “Dane would never do that for me.”

“Well, it’s only a teddy bear…”

“Yeah, but it was mine. I had to give it to Tina, y’see,” Bette explains, as if it’s only logical. We all decide to go to the ferris wheel, where we meet Helena and Lara to our surprise.

“T and I are gonna take a cabinet apart – Burt won’t fit in.”

“Burt?” Lara asks confused. Bette points at the teddy bear and says: “I’ll explain later.”

We get in the cabinet and slowly rise. When we reach the top, the view is fabulous. The city lights stretch as far as we can see. I turn to Bette and kiss her passionately.

“Everything is perfect now,” I whisper.
