Cure-all, Chapter 20
"Thank you…" The brunette said softly.
Tina nodded, burying herself deeper into the dark curls,
"Shane’s gonna be okay…" She said in a whisper, "Say hi for me, okay?"
Bette nodded with a smile, and closed her eyes.
"Miss Porter, you need to go. They’re waiting for you." The guard informed them, a radio in hand.
"Yes…" Bette answered him, yet unable to tear herself away from the blonde.
"Bette… Promise me you’ll take good care of yourself." Tina uttered hoarsely, a lump in her throat.
"I will… I promise." The brunette replied, holding the blonde even tighter, if that was at all possible.
They stayed like that for a few more seconds, until finally Bette whispered in the blonde’s ear, so close that she could feel her warm breath,
"Goodbye, Tina…"
Then, she let go and promptly turned back without a look at the blonde which would have unleashed her tears and crushed her last bit of self-resolve. She rushed to the security guard, picked her bag and proceeded through the gate.
"Goodbye…" Tina murmured once Bette had completely disappeared. The tears were now freely falling on her cheeks and she didn’t do anything to stop them.
She stayed there for a while, feeling empty and more lonely that she had ever felt in her life. Just like the seven year old little girl who had suddenly understood that her parents would be gone forever…
Then she slowly turned around and putting her shades on, she headed towards the exit.
————————————————————————————————
She stepped into the house. A house that she loved… But a house that had never felt more cold and somber than it did at the moment.
"Did she catch it?" Her grandfather inquired raising his eyes from his newspaper, a concerned look on his face.
"Yes Pappy… She did." Tina answered with a sad smile.
She headed to the huge fireplace and sat there, just like she had yesterday with Bette only a few feet away, and stared at the sparkling fire, lost in her thoughts.
Mopsel came in and jumped into her lap, wagging his tail as he presented her with a cute pink present. An offering that he had carefully treasured since the night before.
"Hey," Tina said patting the dog, "What do you have here, huh?… What is this?"
She took the pink booklet into her hands and read the cover, "Rosita’s handbook for Tango"
She frowned, a bit confused,
"What is…?"
But suddenly, she understood.
She understood what was in her hands and where it came from.
And at this instant, she felt warmer. Her whole being felt warmer… Much warmer than if the greatest flame had shot up in the hearth.
TBC…

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:)
