Cure-all, Chapter 10
They both laughed and kept looking at each other.
"Hey Shane!" came Mark’s voice, "Are you done over there? We need to go."
"Coming!" Shane shouted back.
"How long will you be gone?" Carmen asked softly.
"About a month. Maybe more. It will depend on the ocean’s goodwill."
Carmen nodded, then looked down.
"But I’ll be back. As it turns out, I have a very beautiful reason to…" Shane added quietly.
Her statement made the woman before her look up, and staring in each other’s eyes, they both smiled.
————————————————————————————————
"You take care, alright?" Bette said, hugging Shane. She was used to those separations, but it didn’t make her any less worried about her friend.
Shane nodded. She never liked leaving Bette, but this time especially. She had seen something in her friend’s eyes. Something different that wasn’t there yesterday… And she wasn’t sure whether she should be worried or happy.
She gave her a wink, "I’ll be in touch, I promise."
Carmen greeted Mark then stepped close to Shane. She untied her silk scarf, and fastened it around Shane’s neck.
"It will bring you luck." She whispered, looking deeply into her eyes.
Shane touched the scarf.
"It will never leave me…I promise." She whispered back.
She turned around and joined Mark on the boat. They untied the ropes from the deck, and after a last goodbye, the ‘Dreamcatcher’ slowly made its way towards the ocean. Shane waved at them until she really had to go and help with the sails.
Carmen kept waving until she was sure that Shane couldn’t see her anymore. Then, she turned to Bette.
"Soon Bette, depending on the ocean’s goodwill, I’ll be Shane’s girlfriend!" She stated as if it was some inevitable truth.
Bette grinned. She was no fool and the longing looks between Shane and the young woman had not escaped her. She liked Carmen, and she was happy for her friend. And maybe the latin woman would help Shane settle a bit. Because if there was one thing Bette was certain of, it was that she had never seen her fearless friend that smitten with anyone before.
Bette smiled softly. How much time does one need to fall in love? How many minutes? How many seconds?…
This question suddenly opened the forbidden gates of her mind as Tina’s face, Tina’s smile, Tina’s eyes, Tina’s expression, struck through her heart like a giant wave sweeping everything along its way…

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

“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!
