The setting sun was casting an orange hue over the horizon and their bodies were cutting blackened silhouettes against it. The light breeze was blowing Tina’s sarong against Bette’s leg, their hands were still entwined.
The playful rippling runs and arpeggios of a piano brought her back from the moment they had shared on the beach. It was uncanny how the music that played throughout the room seemed to match each memory she was replaying in her mind.
Camille St Saens, the Aquarium section of The Carnival of Animals. The violins and flute made her almost see the magical ballet of tropical fish swimming underwater! Their bustling almost matching the speed of Tina’s thoughts at Bette’s revelation on that beach! She loves me, Tina repeated in her mind, she loves me! Her head was literally swimming in the magic of the moment. she loves me as much as I love her!
"I love you too.." Tina whispered, "I had this dream a long time ago! It has now come true!"
She saw Bette instantly release her breath she had been holding in anticipation of her reaction. The soft short release turned into laughter as Bette lounged forward and took Tina in her arms to swing her around. She put her back down again and held her very close depositing light kisses on her lips each interspersed with a whispered "I love you".. They continued kissing until the sun had completely disappeared below the horizon.
A blush came over Tina’s cheeks. It was not out of embarrassment but more at the warmth she was feeling at the display of affection that afternoon on the beach.
As the music returned to a more subdued rhythm, Tina was reminded of how the rest of that day had played. A day which she would never forget.
She closed her eyes and listened carefully to the long, deep, low sound of a cello which repeated the same melody over and over again. The cello was soon joined by violins which begun to weave their identical but more melodic line above it. Pachelbel’s piece was hypnotic and Tina remembered the timelessness of their evening when they had come back from the beach. They were standing in the middle of Bette’s living room.

That was awesome and beautiful, love it. So happy for them and love to see they are together. Thanks for sharing this wonderful story with us and hope to see you soon with a new one, thanks!
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!
Wonderful epilogue to a truly beautiful story! Thanks, and hey, please come back soon if you can, I love your writing! Thanks again. K

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.
