Cure-all, Chapter 20
Tina gave her a small smile and an inviting look to follow her. Bette returned her smile and nodded. Then, clinging to the brunette’s hand, Tina opened the gate.
They walked into a lovely garden, with a huge tree right in the middle of it. There were flowers everywhere and of all kinds, giving a cheerful atmosphere to the peaceful haven. The tree seemed very old and its long branches hanged over the small garden just like the giant arms of a protective father embracing his offspring.
… That’s when she saw them.
"Oh my God…" She whispered.
Right there, protected by the imposing shadow of the tree, laid three beautiful gravestones…
Bette held her breath… Tina had taken her to her parents’ grave. One of the most intimate places she could have ever imagined. The brunette was overwhelmed by all the different emotions that filled her. And she felt that this very moment was as grave as it was meaningful for the two of them.
In spite of herself, Bette squeezed Tina’s hand tighter. The blonde looked at her with a sad smile and led her to the graves.
They stood in front of them. One read the name of Tina’s grandmother, Anne Kennard. She had died just a few years before her son and his wife… And on the left, joined forever in a common grave, Paul and Sarah Kennard, Tina’s parents.
"I wish you could have met them…" Tina murmured, staring at the grave.
"I would have loved that…" Bette replied softly, turning to the blonde.
Tina squatted down and started digging up some intrusive weeds,
"I come here everytime I visit. It… It brings me peace… I know it’s silly, but I feel like it helps me get some clarity on things…"
"It’s anything but silly, Tina…" Bette said quietly, squatting down beside the blonde.
Tina looked at her and continued,
"Pappy doesn’t come as often as he used to. He claims that he can’t really walk here anymore, because of his arthritis…" The blonde paused, "… But I know it’s not the real reason… I think that with time, it has become too painful for him to come here…"
Bette nodded, staring at the graves. Then she silently stood and headed towards the climbing rose where she carefully picked the most beautiful rose she could find. Then she walked back to Tina and delicately placed the flower on the grave.
Tina stared at the rose… In that moment, it was as if Bette’s gesture had suddenly released all the emotions that she had held inside ever since she had met the brunette.

WOW…that was…well, it was just beautiful. I really love this story – your writing is so moving. I really can’t wait for the next post – please don’t make us wait that long :)
Thing look pretty sad for them. Maybe Helena being so atune to Tina and the ways of the world will sense that Tina is very unhappy. Hope that Shane will be alright. thanks
What a beautiful chapter, complete with the heart wrenching airport moment where two souls say good-bye. IMO, Tina needs to dump Helena and catch the first flight to Vancouver to be with your true love! PPVS
Well done, I was there watching
Perfectly crafted. Have no doubts as to your writing ability!
WOW!!!! I just caught up. That was so sad and so full of love. Thank you PPS
OMG I have butterflies in my stomach, i not sure if its the almost kiss, shane incident or the fact that the dog brought the book in meaning fate keeps tossing them a bone!!

Wow!! Beautiful chapter, i could feel the emotions between them, i’m waiting for the next chapter!!
This is such a beautiful story. Thank you for writing it and sharing it with us. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
I was not surprised by that almost kiss. This tibette doesn’t strike me as the type to do something behind Helena’s back. Now Tina knows what she has to do when she gets back. Thanks for this substantial update!!!!!!
I can fully imagine JB and Lu playing these roles. There is an intensity to both of these characters and a vulnerability that you have portrayed so precisely. Waiting anxiously for the outcome of Shane’s accident and Tina’s return of the book to Bette soon, I hope. Thank you for posting.
wowwwwwwwwwww, i love how everything is slow and charming. i love this bette and tina
love this… and love the dog… thats tina’s reason to go and find bette… and whats helena doing… i have a feeling she has someone on the side… she must, how could she stay away from tina if she didn’t… PPS
A wonderful chapter. I love your ability to keep the suspense of whether (when?) Tina and Bette will be able to be together. Looking forward to your next chapter. Thanks.
i have to agree with you… this is my favorite chapter so far! beautifully written! thanks!
How absolutely gorgeous!! I love it! and i cant wait for more. Tina and Helena need to sort this crap out. And Tee needs to organise to fly off with Bette to Peru and write up all the goings on witgh her reporer skills and happily forever after.
This chapter made me cry for very different reasons . First it was Tina taking Bette to her families’ grave site, then the pain of Shane’s injury. The love is beginning to shine through from both of them.
So beautiful
It sad they not together but hope soon, hope Shane will be ok!
This was absolutely brilliant. The details in this story just make me feel like in the same room with B & T. Please Post Soon.
this is romantically beautiful… i love this story so much, please post soon…
You write with such emotion that it is impossible not to feel everything they are feeling. Loved the end of the chapter! pps
How could we possibly not love the chapter as it is so beautifully written. I had tears in my eyes until the appearance of the pink booklet which brought back the smile. Perfect, Kword.
that was a fabulous chapter – so full of emotions! you are doing an amazing job with this story!! PLEASE, please post soon again! thanks:)
