Chapter 10
They sit on the terrace, alongside each other at a bench set up along one side of the space. They settle back and enjoy a generous platter of local delicacies and a glass of wine.
Bette looks to the view and has a sip of wine, and then turns to Tina.
(Bette) Have you spent a lot of time in Santorini?
Tina looks to her and smiles.
(Tina) Yes, it’s a favourite vacation spot. My friend and I have come together many times
She pauses for a sip of wine.
(Tina) Was that your first time here last year?
(Bette nods) Yes
Bette again glances around at their surroundings.
(Bette) It’s nice to come back though
(Tina smiles) Do I get credit for giving you an excuse to?
Bette raises an eyebrow at her and Tina smiles.
(Tina) Well, I’m glad you made the trip anyway
Bette raises her eyebrows and they smile at each other. Bette looks at her for a moment before responding.
(Bette) What can I say, you left an impression
Tina looks over at her and they both smile. Tina has a sip of wine and continues to examine her.
(Tina) And what is your impression of me?
Bette raises her eyebrows and they smile at each other. Bette then picks up her wine and thinks for a moment. She looks back to Tina and smiles.
(Bette) Impulsive, daring, a risk-taker
She pauses for a sip of wine.
(Bette) With a tendency to overreact
Tina stops and looks at her.
(Tina) You’re saying I overreacted when we last saw each other?
Bette raises an eyebrow at her.
(Bette) Cleaning out my bank account and emptying my safe?
Bette shrugs and they smile at each other.
(Tina) What was the alternative?
(Bette smiles) Talking to me
Tina smiles and has a sip of wine.
(Tina) I’ll take that on board for next time
Bette smiles and Tina places her wine back on the table and points towards her.
(Tina) And I’ll also point out again that I did not clean out your bank account
(Bette smiles) No, you didn’t
Bette pops an olive into her mouth.
(Bette) Was there some significance to the amount you took?

Bette is impressively free of grudges. SHe hasn’t even claimed her watch :). She’s just enjoying the reunion.

I believe Bette is in this for something other than a financial reward. I think that she is incredibly attracted to Tina and wants her in her life. But, the only way that can happen is to put the stolen money aside and just be with Tina in the moment. No plans, no objectives, just enjoy what is and hope there will be more. And when Tina feels that Bette is not a threat, she too will want the same thing.
Great story… thank you for the posting.

Interesting turn of events.
Still feel that Tina is holding back and only in this for the short term.
Hopefully Bette can convince her to consider them being together.
Thanks for the update.

I’m wondering how committed Tina is to develop a relationship with Bette. She doesn’t appear to want to provide any info to Bette while Bette seems to be interested in starting a relationship.
Just wondering.
Great writing.
