Tina stood from the chair she was seated in, and started to walk towards the door of Bette’s office.

Bette looked up from the card to see Tina walking towards the door. For whatever reason, she knew that she could not just let Tina walk out of the door without saying something…..anything.

“Tina, would you like to have dinner with me? I mean that is if you don’t already have other plans.”

As she neared the door, Tina stopped and turned around when she heard the question posed to her. “Bette, I…..”

“Please T. Unless you have someplace else you need to be, it’s been a long time since we had dinner together.”

“It has been awhile hasn’t it?………….Okay, sure, why not, I’d love to.”

“Terrific, I’ll pick you up at 7?”

“Ok that would be nice. See you later then.” Tina leaves Bette’s office.

Bette sat back behind her desk and admired the flowers. She had been taken completely by surprise not just by Tina’s arrival at her office, but also that she too remembered the significance of this day. Now that Tina had accepted her invitation to dinner, Bette wondered how could she make this a special night for them on short notice.

Thinking for a few minutes, the perfect idea came to mind. She made a few phone calls, called in a few favours and was hopeful that her efforts would remind Tina of the past love that they shared.

Tina herself had admitted to still loving Bette, to always loving her, now Bette was determined to show Tina that she too still loved her as well, and that perhaps they could find a way back to each other. Bette had wanted this for a long time, but had been afraid to approach Tina as she feared rejection. Little did she know that Tina also had similar thoughts.

Later that day……

Tina stood staring at her closet pondering what to wear to dinner that night. Her body was telling her that it was a date, but her mind did not fully believe it. Still, there was something different about this evening, she felt something different, something she had not felt in a very long time. Nervousness…….. anxiety……… anticipation….this is what she felt.
