A hand stroked her head, making her jump.
”I thought I’d find you here.” A soft voice said affectionately.
Bette didn’t have to turn around to know it was Tina. She hadn’t heard her come in, absorbed as she was by her musing.
”Hey.”
The brunette’s voice was smaller than usual. She closed her eyes and shivered a little as she felt Tina’s hand glide down her crown, caressing her hair and smoothing it over her shoulder.
”You know, it’s nearly time to go. The car will be here very soon.” Tina explained gently. She wrapped her arms around her grieving girlfriend as best as she could, before pressing a soft kiss to her neck and resting her chin on her shoulder.
”What are you doing?” the blonde continued.
”Looking at happier times,” Bette offered simply. ”You know I can still remember the sound of the groaning, twisting metal and the sea smashing into the hull of that ship.”
The archaeologist’s finger was pointing at a picture showing a wetsuit-clad Bette jumping from the bow of the stricken vessel, immortalised as she was in a spread eagle pose half way on her descent towards the water.
”It really was a great summer.” Tina squeezed Bette a little tighter and buried her nose in her hair, kissing just behind her ear.
Bette looked down at the arms across her front and stroked one with the back of her fingers.
”It really was… you came into my life and into my logs.” The brunette replied a hint of a mocking tone coming through.
They were looking at Tina’s colourful intrusions on the pages of Bette’s log. Fish in shoals, birds, shells and even a puffin skull that had been washed out on the beach its tell-tale chunky yellow and black beak offering a stark contrast to the whiteness of the bones. The details of her drawings were quite extraordinary; more impressive was the fact that the young woman could do it all from memory.
Bette remembered how she had totally been taken aback by the accuracy of Tina’s first sketch. They had just come back from a trip to Plymouth and Tina had taken residence on Bette’s bed when she had started her first doodling.
Still looking windswept, a healthy glow on her face from her time spent by the sea, she had removed her trainers and was sitting cross-legged, with Bette’s log in her lap, her right hand holding a simple HB pencil. From time to time, she bit her lip in concentration or stuck her tongue out when she had to colour in.

So glad you finished this story! Thank you for sticking it out and giving us this story. Loved it
Hi Kins,
So glad to see this story! It will take some time to read it and i will leave a comment after i finish.
Hi, welcom back, Kins!
Thank you for finished this story! Ok, now i’m going to read it.
Hi, Kins
Oh my God, Kins, welcome back, after almost 2 years, it’s been a long time, but reading the whole story now I feel, the wait was worth.
You have given us a quite wonderful and interesting story full of adventures and riddles and full of love of my favorite couple Bette and Tina.
You ended the story in a very good way, but I feel as if I want to know more about them, if Bette gets the funding for her project in Mexico, the wedding, their partnership, what Tina does for a job… and many more things.
I hope we could read more new beautiful stories from you; I like very much your style.
Thank you very much and please, post other TIBETTE stories

Ok, i read again this story, this time the whole and i’m ready to leave another comment.
First – thank you again for finish the story.
Second – happy to see happy final -treasure was found, bitch Kelly got lost. And i must say i like how you got rid from her – like in life we can say with 100% probability what happened – or she sank or she was killed by shark.
Third – i like how you described Bette and Tina and love between them. I like it in all your stories (maybe with one exception – in Frozen beginnings i don’t like your Bette during the story, but in final she corrected :) )
So, welcome back and maybe in the future we can see another great story from you? I really hope so.
Hi Kins,
Really enjoyed the read, thank you so much.
A great Story and I loved reading it in one post. As an English Lady I really enjoyed your explanation of Cricket!
I would love it if you would now consider a Sequel with these two characters.
Thanks again for posting.

Welcom back, Kins!
I was a silent reader a long time, but after you finished this story i must register to say – “Thank you for fantastic story! And i hope this story won’t be your last on this site!”
Totaly agree with MissOne – i hope this story won’t be the last from you too!
Hi Kins,
You took us trough a incredible journey! Full of adventures, little clues i tried to catch to find the treasure, the background on the history of those ships and of course the love between Bette & Tina.
I really hope you will continu with a sequel or a new story.
Thank you so much for posting the whole story after two long years!
In-cre-di-ble! Kins, thank you so much for returning to this story and for giving us such a glorious and sweet ending. You’re such a talented writer. What a wonderful plot with astonishing details to the treasure hunt.
I second the previous comments and hope you’ll find the inspiration (and time) to work on a sequel. Maybe Bette’s project in Mexico with a twist with some unexpected traces of a legendary Aztec treasure ;)
Well ive read it at last.So pleased you managed to finish this story.I know how long it was in conception and all the research you did for its authenticity.
A great read.Loved the shark sequence.Found it quite thrilling.
