"What does the World Health Organization have to say about it?" Tina inquired.
"Well, you know all about the diplomatic issues involved with the UN. They are being cautious. Which is legitimate, but doesn’t make things any easier…" Bette let out a deep sigh, "They are basically waiting for my assessment of the situation."
They had arrived at the house, and after putting the car in park, Tina looked at Bette. She admired her dedication to her work more than she could articulate. Yet at this moment, she selfishly wished someone else had committed themselves to go there. She didn’t know much about Santaragua, but she knew enough to fear for Bette’s safety, not to mention her health. Besides, she hated the idea that the brunette would soon be thousands of miles away.
"When are you leaving?" She asked in a voice so low that Bette almost didn’t hear her.
The brunette turned to her, and their eyes met.
"In the next couple of days…" She softly replied.
In the blonde’s hazels, Bette saw sadness and concern… Even fear.
Bette knew that she had to go. She couldn’t back out. Not now, not after all this work, there was far too much at stake. But with that certainty came another realization, one that she would have never thought possible…
… Nobody had ever made her truly consider the risks of her work before, not even Kit. But in that moment, and for the first time in her life… she did.
————————————————————————————————
Lunch had allowed Bette and Tina to put the reality aside again and enjoy the present time together. Yet, the meaningful glances that they had exchanged during the meal had spoken volumes of the tension generated by Bette’s impending trip.
After lunch, they had taken a walk with Tina’s grandfather through their vineyard, and Bette had been amazed by the old man’s passion and devotion for his vines. The fire in his eyes when he talked about them was fascinating, and Bette had been captivated by the story of his first vine stocks, the first failures, the struggles, the weather’s hazards, the first successful vintage, the expansion of the vineyard and of the winery… Bette and Tina had listened intently while picking on the white grapes that the blonde had cut from a vine.
Then the old man had gotten tired and gone back to the house, commanding them to continue the walk and enjoy the pleasant weather. Laughing, the women had complied commenting that they had ‘no choice’ anyway.

You don’t need a job. ; ) Just keep writing for us and live off of our comments. Just kidding. Thank you for this story..it’s one of those that I can’t get enough of.
God this fic is amazing, it gives me all of thsoe emotional feelings, the overwhelming ones that just want another chapter to be HERE.. NOW! Thank you.
I’m so hooked on this story, they have to at least share a kiss or hug before they separate. Then Tina needs to get rid of her bride!!!
i love pappi k!!! love him. gosh i wonder when they are going to kiss. tina must take time off from helena and tell her shes in love with another person
hmmm, where did they stop!? a little cozy cottage maybe….!? ;) very sweet chapter – thanks for posting!
very emotional chapter…i hope when bette goes to research virus she won get sick
I am loving this story. I hope Tina fesses up to Helena before moving on to Bette, but she does need to move on to Bette, and real soon! PPS.
WHAT ? !!! What do you mean “TBC…” ? Where are they ? Where are they ? I wanna know where they are ! Oh, the frustration ! Anyhow… I’m with Fergz1, are you sure you need a job ? Personally, I think it’s a publisher you need. You know, I can totally picture Kit working for humanitarian organizations. That is sooo like her ! It’s a great idea you had there. It makes so much sense. As for Bette and Tina’s interactions… Well, somehow I wish Bette hadn’t been so careful to stay sober and clear-sighted coz I would have loved her to be a little bit more uninhibited when talking to Tina. I would have loved for her to “awkwardly” let slip the way she felt in Tina’s presence and then try to cover up her “gaffe” and get stuck in her pathetic attempt at seeming perfectly detached and comfortable with the situation… But of course she’s too smart to get tipsy when around Tina coz God knows what she might say and do then… Too bad they’re both so serious though… I mean, there are vines as far as the eye can see. They have to serve another purpose besides talking to Pappy, right ? LOL ! Can’t B and T get hammered together before Bette has to leave ? LOL ! Ok, Ok, just kidding ! Great chapter, K ! You rock !
Au fait, tu vois ? Y en a déjà qui sont à deux doigts de te supplier à genoux pour un bisou échangé entre B & T … L’univers tout entier est suspendu à ta plume. Tu réalises le pouvoir que tu as là ? LOL !
Oh, how can you stop here! Please post soon, no… please post now =D Amazing writing, can’t wait >
I love it, I love it, I love it!
really love this story! i hope your generous streak continues! :)
so intrigued as to where they will stop!
Love this storyLove it. Tina needs to get her life in shape,before Bette gets back home. I was hoping that Helena would find someone first. Please Post soon thanks
The three of them are so compatible. It is interesting that Bette feels the same way that Tina does. And of course Pappy Kennard seems to love Bette almost as much as Tina is beginning to.
That was great!
Aww, you stop at the most irritating times sometimes. Please more soon (:
so happy ur continuing the story. Hopefully the job will come soon too. PPS.
