"Hum… Carmen?" She started, switching the blinker on to get off the highway, "Would you by any chance know a good place for tango lessons?"…
———————————————————————————————-
"Que maravilla!" Carmen whispered in wonder.
She and Bette had reached the end of the deck where the ‘Dreamcatcher’ was moored, and the young latina stood there, stunned by the elegant beauty of the sailboat.
Bette turned to her and smiled.
"Amazing, isn’t it?… Shane got it from her father. He left her mom when she was just a child, but two years ago, he suddenly remembered he had a daughter… He knew of her passion for sailing, and I guess this boat was his way of making up for all these years. Of course, at first Shane refused and didn’t want to have anything to do with him. But he sticked around… And after a while and an awful lot of tiny steps, things got a little better. She still didn’t want the boat, but he told her that it already had her name on the deed."
Bette marked a pause.
"Shane is very proud you know, and the relationship with her father being as it was, she really didn’t want to owe him anything. I tried to talk her into accepting the gift. For both their sakes… Finally, she agreed but with the condition that she would pay some kind of monthly rent to her father."
Bette chuckled, "In the end, that rent turned out to be ridiculously low as you can imagine… But Shane just loves this boat."
Just then, a tall athletic man got out of the cabin and spotted them.
"Hey Bette, hi!"
"Hi, Mark. How is everything going?"
"Okay, I guess. Just a few more things to check, but then we’ll be all set!"
"Great… Oh Mark, this is Carmen." Bette made the introductions.
"Very nice to meet you Carmen." The young man said, shaking her hand. Then, looking at both women from head to toes, "Ladies, I know this is the departure of an incredible sailing journey, but you really didn’t have to dress up like that for us."
Bette laughed.
"Well, as much as I pay tribute to your formidable adventure, Carmen and I actually just got back from a wedding."
"I see." Mark grinned.
"Is Shane around?" Bette asked, looking towards the boat.
"Yep, she’s at the front, checking the mast. She’ll just be a minute."

I’m so excited you posted…yea!! What a wonderful way you had Shane and Carmen meet. I guess Bette and Shane fell in love with their soul mates in a matter of seconds. pps
yep, took bette only 1 second to fall in love with tina…post soon
Psh, it took Bette less than 1 second. lol I actually liked the Sharmen in this. Okay time for Bette to take some tango lessons. ;)
gorgeous, but short update!! well it wasnt that hsort but im always left wanting more! PPS!
we want moreeeeeee. bette is so in love haha. sharman are cutie
Well, at least it didn’t take Bette and Tina 525 600 minutes apparently… ( wink ). So anyway, it seems Bette’s not too fond of boats herself, huh ?… What a chicken ! But she’s so cute and funny ! Very very nice, albeit short, chapter, K. Truth is Noresistance is absolutely right, it’s not so much the fact that the chapters are brief, it’s the fact that we’re always left wanting much much more. I guess that’s what doctors refer to as ” an addiction ” or in this specific case as the first symptoms of Tibette deprivation. LOL ! Thank you, K. In fact, you must know that my personal doctor prescribed me Tibetthadone in heavy doses lately et tout oubli/entorse dans mon calendrier de prise de médicaments pourrait sans doute m’être fatal…
I LOVE this story, amazing really can’t wait for more! PPS
How couldn’t fall in love with Tina hahaha. This was great.PPS
Good story, good writing
minutes… mere minutes… now get bette those dance lessons and back to tina… maybe to check on the pony.. any reason for her to go back…PPS
“Bette smiled softly. How much time does one need to fall in love? How many minutes? How many seconds?…”SOOOO sweet Kword. Can’t wait for you to with this incredibly romantic story. Thanks for posting.
I dont know who fell in love quickest. Just hope that Bette doesn’t get hurt.
It doesn’t take that long at all to fall in love, as I think Bette has found out. Great story, KW, thanks for the chapter. pps
Maybe Carmen will be of some help with Bette and Tina. She seems to know her half-sister well enough to know that Tina would be much happier with Bette.
I just found this story and absolutely adore it!!! The storyline is original and strong…your writing is engaging and very strong…and I am excited about the next chapter!! Thanks!!
That was wonderful and Shane meet Carmen. Let Bette and Tina meet again!
