…She is 7 years old. Just a few months before the accident. It’s summer… Her parents have taken her on that beach trip they had promised. She is in the water. She’s found some new game where she has to drop a big colored rock and then dive under water to pick it up. She’s having fun. Her parents are on the beach, not very far, lounging in the sun. They are beautiful. Everything is beautiful. Everything is just as it should be. She has just picked her rock again, and she proudly turns to her parents to show them, but just as she’s about to call out to them, she stops herself…
Her father is leaning towards her mom and he looks at her with utter love and devotion… She is just a child but she understands that something wonderful is about to happen. She holds her breath… Her father gently rests his hand on her mom’s knee. Delicately, like a caress. Then he bends over and places a small but loving kiss where his hand has just been. Her mom has opened her eyes and they smile at each other… She doesn’t feel excluded from the moment, because she knows that this is a moment that can only be shared between two people. Two people in love.
In that moment, the little girl that she is, knows. She knows that some day, someone will come and put their hand on her knee…
————————————————————————————————
Bette groaned and changed her position on the headrest.
She couldn’t sleep… Oh well, it probably wasn’t worth it on such a short trip anyway.
She was exhausted though. The last few nights had been very short. Too short. She had been so shaken up by the boy’s inevitable death that she had spent most of the following days and nights in her lab, her only self-indulgence being for her dance classes…
The price to pay had been unbearable, but the boy’s blood samples had provided her with a lot of new information and the long working hours had been worth it. They had made some huge progress, and she was more than ready to leave to Central America. Phyllis had given her the green light, and it was a matter of days now.
Bette closed her eyes again and thought about the last few days. She had called Helena the day following the dinner to apologize again. She secretly had hoped that Tina would answer the phone. But the maid had picked up and passed her to Helena right away. The British woman had been very nice about it and offered a raincheck, deploring that unfortunately it would have to wait until after their return from London.

Hope Tina tells Bette why she came. That he just wanted to see her. Take Bette to visit Pappys vineyards.
what twisted little situation our Tina is in, I mean on hand you have good decent partner not to mention wealthy and on the other side you have fate, destiny, other half of your soul..Hey the heart and soul what it/they want. And right now they want Bette. Pappy would be so happy.
i was going to complain that they didn’t meet this ep. but i guess they did:P! :) thanks PPS
OK, well, I realize you did post a longer chapter this time, but did you have to leave us hanging like this ? Aren’t there some kind of tacit rules that say “no cliffies after 13 chapters” or something ? Damnit !! The frustration !!! Think I might go do some yoga now… LOL ! Ok, just kidding. This was great, K, but as you can see, we can’t wait for B & T to spend more time together… and talk without risking being interrupted again… Just the two of them, you know… Although if nothing or no one interrupts them at some point, I’m afraid they might not realize that several days have passed and they haven’t eaten or slept. Hahaha ! Speaking of funny moments… So Katel speaks Yiddish, huh ? Hehehe ! I love the idea ! I can totally picture her chastising her sheine maidele for not informing them she was coming home for the weekend. Certainly, she would have prepared her room, cooked something fancy… Well, besides les crêpes au Kirsch. Ooooh, you know what ? Now that I think about it, I’d love to see Bette and Tina getting tipsy from too many crêpes au Kirsch. LOL ! I mean, think about it, if Bette were to get a little drunk, she would have to spend the night at Tina’s grandad’s place, right ? OK, I’m getting a little carried away here, we’re definitely not there yet. I’d better stop rambling and go to bed now. Very nice chapter, K. Thank you !
Well at least she doesn’t have to sit through a lecture, instead maybe then can spend some time together! PPS
Ah, I love to see a plan come together. Post soon! Thanks
So loving your story. Absolutely delicious. PPS
was Bette also late for her own lecture? (lol).. I won’t mind at all you posting a longer chapter and soonest (haha)..
Now that is the way to run into the woman of your dreams. Maybe soon, Tina will stop lying to herself and others about this obsession with Bette Porter.
well, at least bette was still there and maybe it’s better that to sit through a lecture before having one-on-one LOL
Poor Tina, what a dilemma. She’s got to follow her heart, right? Right? Pappy’s going to love Bette me thinks! PPS.
Oh in Bettes arm – More, more, more please
well now she doesn’t have to sit through thelecture… and who else would she run into… great story… bring it on babe.. we are here and waiting…
Just can´t get enough of this amazing story – but those hangers!!!! Anyway don´t let them start out as cheaters – it´s just plain wrong.
i love tina but cheating is just wrong!!! i dont care its just wrong. she must tell helena that she wants to explore her feelling to another person!!! hoo bette bette i hope u will take care of tina, she must be hurting by the door.
ahhhh! yey. hopefully tina will tell why she was there………
Yes they meet again!!!! Yeah.PPS
Poor Tina, now let Bette made it better!
