Tina’s mind was being lulled by the peacefulness of the music and returned to her previous recollection.
They had met everyday after that day. Bette supporting her in her recovery. Physically, it had been no hardship, her memory had however never returned. She had tried to fit in her previous life but found it quite a struggle and her "dream life" had merged into her reality. This is where she was comfortable. She had learned that she had held a high power job, which she happily let go as the stress it would bring her would be detrimental to her in the long run. She started to work at the rehab centre where she had convalesced and her own experience proved valuable to amnesiac patients like her.
She had even returned to her place. She had found it a bit strange at first as if she had moved into a stranger’s apartment but she soon felt very comfortable adapting to what really was her own surroundings. She even joked to herself that she had exquisite taste.
Her gaze fell back to the sleeping form in front of her. She stepped further into the room. A sublime clarinet solo could now be heard around the room, "Rachmaninov" Tina guessed, "so much yearning in this piece!". It had always baffled Tina how she had immediately felt this link to Bette. Was it because of her dream? She had never set eyes on her but yet she knew who she was as soon as they had met on the side of the road. Her heart had filled with an overpowering joy almost instantly. She had fallen in love with her right there and then.
Although it had been such a clear realisation to her, she wondered why it took them so long to share their first kiss.
They had held hands mostly, timidly, stared into each other eyes for an eternity but it took them weeks to muster the courage to kiss. It had felt almost old fashioned and proper, they were courting!
Then one evening, at Bette’s house, they had found themselves together in the little kitchen making dinner. The conversation was flowing and they laughed at each other’s witty remarks about the day they had just spent together. They had their backs to each other. Tina was chatting away when she noticed that Bette was being very quiet. She was really the only one who was making any noise. She turned around to see if Bette had left the room without telling her and she was surprised to find the brunette standing right behind her, very close to her.

Thank you for this beautifully written epilogue!
Well that was a great story and ever so beatifully written… the music to go with it was actually a wonderful touch to bring to a story that included loss of sight. Well done and I hope to read more of your work in the not too distant future. once again thank you for a very good story.
This was beautiful story, one that I looked forward to the next update once I caught up. I do hope that you will continue to create new stories.
Amazing epilogue to an amazing story – Thank You.
Sigh! That was so beautiful and tender. Please don’t stay away for too long. You are amazingly talented. I look forward to reading more of your stories.
Wonderful story. Written with love and beauty. Hopefully you will thrill us with another. Thanks
Epilogue impressive. I loved the war block of snow. I hope to read more of his story soon.
Thank you so very much for this beautiful, amazing story!
The perfect ending. Hope you come back to write another story…surely a classic. Thank you.
kins40 Thank you for the shoutout but even as a ‘seasoned writer’ as you put it I have to bow to your amazing talent. Not only was this storyline new and different and beautifully written but I also loved your portrayal of Bette and Tina. You gave them character and integrity which we rarely see in TiBette stories. The subtle way you wrote the love scenes with the imagery instead of graphic detail was respectful, intimate, private and sensuous as it should be between lovers who cherish and respect themselves and one another. The courtship, the thoughtfulness, the fun, the proposal; just the right mix of everything. I hope you do come back soon with a new story or a sequel, but regardless of what else you write this story is one I will treasure and likely read again. Thank you.
Fantastic story, you had me hooked, beginning to end! Beautifully written! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for this amazing story.
Thank you so much for your beautiful, intriguing, romantic story. And thank you for not missing out any part of their developing relationship in your epilogue! Their first meeting (when they were both conscious that is!) was SO romantic. I hope to read more of your work in the future.

Everyone has said it all,and beautifully, as befits your wonderful romantic story; this epilogue was perfect.
Bravo!!!Love the epilogue, just perfect. Thanks a bunch for sharing hope to see something new soon :)
That had to be one of the most beautifully complex stories I have read on this site-it had me a little confused at times, but you your writing was amazing, you can never tell that english was not your first language. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED IT.
Wow!! …. Thanks Kins40!! Kudos to you for this marvelous story! Grateful for this sweet tender and romantic epilogue! :-) the way you wrote it just beautiful and heart warming (even though lots of snow there! LOL :-p) You are an amazingly talented writer, I hope you’ll have more inspiration to share in the future as I will looking forward to that! :-) thanks again!
How wonderful was that! Thanks you for an excellent story.
That was so beautiful. Thank you.
How beautiful this story was.. And how wonderful a writer you are!.. You took us in many paths, some are bumpy. And you even gave us some NC17. [Wiggling my eyebrows] But you tied it up with your epilogue that only you can deliver.. I’m in awe of your skill to write, so without being Desparate… PLEASE WRITE MORE STORY. HAPPY, CONTENT
That was beautiful and your descriptions of their lovemaking were breathtaking. Thanks for such a lovely epilogue but now we hope you continue on to a sequel because the story desperately deserves it. Afraid I am a stickler for detail, they make the story complete and fully understandable. I’m totally detail oriented, comes from my own personal likes and also the legal background. Epilogue was fantastic and the choices of music were perfect. Thanks for posting.
Hey Kins, your story has been a pleasure to read, an absolute delight! Please continue maybe a sequel as I feel like only just now have I started to uncover these beautiful characters through your compelling narrative. Thank you for writing this wonderful story!! :D
Amazing.Thank you.
Beautiful ending to a wonderful story. The epilogue could have been twice as long and would still not have too much or enough. The snowball fight was adorable and I loved the way you tied it into Bette’s proposal. Hope to soon read another story of yours….or perhaps a sequal… Thanks so much!
Wow, that was beautiful. I love how you presented all of their experiences through Tina’s memories and that her memories were sparked by the music that was playing and the vision of a sleeping Bette. So sweet. Thanks so much.
Just awesome and tender and beautiful. The interweaving of the musical pieces w/the descriptions of their relationship was simply amazing.
You are a freaking genius! I could read it a thousand times over and I’d still be blown away. The perfectly executed twists of this story are brilliant! I will still be wrapping my brain around it in the years to come. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
Great Epilogue thanks for this. Great story particularly the way you wrote the chapters concerning blindness and the heightening of the other senses – Thank You!
This entire story was absolutely amazing! I almost lost my senses with the time of death chapter and then flip flopped between confusion and elation as the revelations of the story evolved. An absolute masterpiece, beautifully written. So incredibly creative.
So glad to have discovered this after so many years after it’s publication.
