Bette’s heart sank, as she contemplated her thoughtlessness in upsetting her so easily.
Tina meanwhile was desperately trying to reign in her emotions, and maintain control. She knew that her life had changed beyond all recognition since Bette’s arrival, but really didn’t know what any of it meant.
“I’m sorry” she said to Bette, still refusing to look up.
“No. Baby, I’m sorry.” Bette rested her hand under Tina’s chin, and gently lifting her head to look at her.
Bette’s hand stroked the soft skin at the side of Tina’s neck. “Is there anything I can do to make you forgive me?” she asked, attempting to lighten the mood, a roguish grin on her face.
Tina however, refused to have her mood lightened so easily. “I wanted to spend the day with you Bette, while I still have the chance” She pouted
The smile left Bette’s face, as she too contemplated the day that she would have to leave. Her eyes taking on a look of loss that she knew she would feel when that time arrived.
“Tina, I think we need to talk” she said, gently taking a strand of Tina’s hair between her fingers, before twirling it gently around her index finger, and tucking it behind her ear.
Tina looked at Bette apprehensively. Not really wanting Bette to verbalise the knowledge that they both had, that this is just a brief encounter between them, that in a few short days they would be gone from each others lives, their intense connection just a distant memory.
“Is this about my leaving?” She asked tenderly.
Tina shrugged her shoulders not really sure if she could talk.
“Because if it is” Bette continued, “It doesn’t have to be this way.”
Tina stared at Bette, her heart thumping painfully in her chest. Could she dare to hope? Could she allow herself to believe that they could find a way to make this right.
“You mean, you are not leaving?” Tina asked, hope filling her heart.
Bette looked intently into Tina’s eyes, and shook her head sadly. “I have to get back T, I have commitments.” Bette stopped abruptly as she saw the pain flash across Tina’s face before she could mask it.
“I understand” Tina choked out, terrified that she was going to lose control of her emotions completely
“No Baby, I don’t think you do. When I leaveI want you to come with me!”

Finally caught up. Fell for the story the moment I read the first word in chapter one. Can’t wait to read what happens next. Ok, I just refreshed my screen. Where’s the next chapter??!!
so sweet . i have to say i was laughing when bette was in the darkroom with all the cursing and bumping – i too develop film and in the beginning it’s just like that – the red light is just that -dark and red and one has to learn to trust their tactile instincts. Can’t wait for the next chapter!
I have been sitting here trying to figure out how to express my joy at reading this story, without coming across as too gushy, mushy, or sticky sweet. Unfortunately, everything that comes to mind fits all of those definitions. I am truly enamored with your writing! Thank you for another pitch perfect chapter.
Seahurst says it best..please don’t let us hang too long
I hope Tina goes with Bette.
Damm special needs LMAO
I think you might be digging to san fran with all those comments.
Well I guess if I have to letting you take shots at me, to keep getting this most wonderful story then keep them coming
Such an uplifting chapter. It makes me hopeful.
I can really see the pictures you are painting with this story … you’re writing is truly beautiful … another chapter tomorrow would be wonderful ….but at some point one would think one needs rest or the days can be unpleasant… or one might just need to call into work sick and continue to give us MORE of this story ….hmh…..what do you think? ;-)
Seahurst always says it best, If it be a comment or a story Great, Thanks
I loved this chapter, the part about Bette bumbling in the dark room was great. I hope that Tina takes Bette up on her offer. Africa will always be a very special place for both of them. Please post again soon.
Good chapter. This is the word Tina have to is YES I will come with you Bette. Post soon, thanks!
Can Tina do that? Boy, I hope so. Great chapter, tbsaver. Thanks for making this realistic.
I am in love with this story! Your words flow so effortlessly from the page right to the heart! I hope Tina says yes!
I totally agree with Seahurst. All I can think of to say is mushy. I so love reading this story. I hope all is well with you. I’ll be gone since V is having brain surgery tomorrow, but I hope you post soon. I need some happy thots from ya. :)
i totally agree with seahurst. i just loe the way you write. it talks to me. it envelopes me. your details are exquisit. please post soon.
I could picture Bette emerging like a mole that had been underground for months! I can only imagine the look of frustration on her face, it must have killed her to not get it right the first time.
“We need to talk”…Boy, those words are enough to make anyone start to panic. Tina was brave to not just jump up and get the heck out of Dodge while she had that opportunity.
No one likes to face the inevitable, and these two have been racing time to try and cram a lifetime of living into a thimble. There’s bound to be raw emotions for both.
Pretty presumptious of Bette to assume that Tina would give up a career to follow her. Or is she only asking her to come for a while and then she will return with Tina? Compromise is a difficult thing for some.
Waiting eagerly to see what happens next.
Now i’m going to miss Africa, thank you for making it so descriptive…i hope Tina takes Bette up on her offer of going to L.A. with her…i think it will be very interesting.
Thanks for the update TB.
