    Author Notes:

    Chapter 10

    The week had passed excruciatingly slow. Tina had buried herself in her work at the centre. Her teaching background had made her the ideal candidate to teach blind children new reading skills. Braille skills. She had mastered it herself quickly and was enjoying making progress with the children. She always enjoyed hearing the delight of the kids when they were able to discover by themselves tales which had been read to them. Their little fingers running along the white pages of the oversized books deciphering the succession of little dots which uncovered the words of their favourite stories.
    Despite their separation during that week Bette had endeavoured to keep herself at the forefront of Tina’s mind. Everyday came a different surprise for the blonde. Bette had arranged to have lunch delivered and they would spent it together talking on the phone. She also had flowers sent, ones which would give out the most fragrant scent so Tina would enjoy knowing they were there at all times.
    Bette had also contacted the curator of MoMA in New York. She had become aware of a recent programme the world renown museum was providing an art education programme for the blind. The extent to which museums currently cater for the blind and visually impaired is to offer large-print and Braille descriptive booklets and sometimes a touch tour of selected works of arts. This programme, however, was now offering tactile diagrams of varying patterns,  which combined with in-depth narratives and the help of atmospheric sound compositions would offer a unique experience into the world of Art. The programme was quite extensive and covered from prehistoric to contemporary art and would touch on paintings, sculptures, architecture all to way to the very intricate manuscript illuminations. Bette had used her connections to provide the centre where Tina worked with a unique introduction to the MoMA programme and an educator from the museum would come to the centre and work with the children.
    Tina had been completely taken aback by the kindness and thoughtfulness that Bette had displayed. She felt she could never repay her for her gesture and Bette had simply replied that the mere fact that Tina was in her life would be all the thanks she would ever need. 
    Tina did not know how to describe what she felt when Bette spoke those words. It was a rush, an overpowering feeling which started in the pit of her stomach and overtook her entire body. Her heart was beating faster and she felt a blush come over her cheeks. Was Tina falling for the gallery owner? Could it happen so soon, could it happen at all?
    She had to push those thoughts out of her mind. Tonight was the opening of the show and she needed to get home to get ready. Dana would come by to pick her up. She, too had been invited. She and Alice seemed to have struck a bit a friendship and Dana was Alice’s guest for the event while Tina had received a personal invitation from the gallery owner. Her mind wandered dreamily again, she had to shake herself and be on her way.
    Meanwhile, Bette was putting the final touches to her show. Last minute hiccups which needed sorted. She was calm and collected about the event, she was however a bundle of nerves when it came to the thoughts of seeing Tina again. Yes, they had spoken on the phone but she had not seen the blonde, she had not been able to hold her, to kiss her and right now she was not sure she would be able to contain herself once she saw her. She had no doubt as to the nature of her feelings for the blonde, but she was cautious, she did not want to scare her. She would rather do without expressing any of her feelings rather than spent a lifetime not being able to see her.
    She went to check for the hundredth time if the blue velvet box was still in her drawer in her office. She opened it to check its content and smiled.

    1. Yay, a new chapter!!! I was missing this story! And I agree, a tight victory, but a victory nonetheless… Wish we had scored more tries though. I’m absolutely delighted for our team, but big kuddos to Ireland who played amazingly well and who would have deserved the victory as well. Thanks for the update, and PPS, I can’t get enough of this story! K.

    3. This chapter managed to put a smile on my face despite the heavy workload ahead of me. Much needed break well spent while reading your story. :)

    5. This is such a wonderful story. It is so interesting along with being enlightening.I think Tina’s strength and courage is written brilliantly, and Bette will give her the love and support she needs for complete happiness.

    14. Wow, my two favorite stories posted in one night. I love this story and along with Bats “what more could I want” this was the best night to come home to after a fourteen hour day of dreadful work.

    16. So glad you’re back with another chapter. Missed it. It is great that Tina is not opposed to being in a relationship with Bette, I ony wish that some kind of surgery could happen that would restore her sight. At some point I hope we can hear what the doctor’s have or have not done in treatment of Tinas’ blindness. Because of the wreck and her ability to escape with minor injuries except the blindness. There are myriad possibilities for a cure for the blindness. What is in that blue velvet box? Thanks for posting.
