Cure-all, Chapter 22
They had also finally received some much needed medical supplies from the Santaraguayan Health Ministry and the assistance of a few nurses, after Bette’s numerous demands and some diplomatic pressure from the CDC.
Bette had organized the nurses’ work and turnovers. She had made sure that everyone got a minimum of sleep and some breaks during the day… Everyone but her.
She was a doctor during the day, taking care of those who still had a chance to survive, even though she knew that without a vaccine, that chance was very close to zero. But she never stopped trying.
She was a doctor during the day and a researcher at night. In spite of exhaustion and lack of sleep, she spent most of her nights analyzing blood samples, running endless tests and try new formulas. She spent most of her nights fighting sleep and searching for the miraculous serum that would eradicate this horrible epidemic.
Of course, her thoughts would always drift back to Tina. One way or another, the thought of the blonde would fight its way through the thick walls around Bette’s mind that she had erected in order to be able to go on every day. Tina’s face and smile would hit her at the most unexpected times, and more than often in the middle of her work. There were times when she had to reluctantly force the thoughts away, but some other times, and especially when she was exhausted or when her hope started to leave her, she would let the beautiful thoughts fill her. And for a while, she would revel into the overwhelming memories of Tina’s hazel eyes lit by a simple smile, of her touch, and of the wonderful warmth of her body in her arms. In those moments, these thoughts could give her strength and courage as well as devastate her.
Yet, she would always come back to them, like a vessel to a lighthouse…
—————————————————————————————–
Tina was restless.
She had been spending long hours at work, trying to busy herself and make time go faster.
Carmen was still in Vancouver. She had called several times and seemed very content. Shane was recovering very fast and they would be able to take her back to L.A. very soon. The last time she had called, Carmen had put Shane on the phone, eager to have her and Tina get acquainted with each other. The blonde had liked Shane’s voice and immediately felt a connection with the young woman who somehow made her feel closer to Bette. She had casually managed to ask about the brunette’s whereabouts but Shane had only received a brief phone call from her when she had arrived in Santa Maria’s airport. Tina had sensed a hint of complicity in the young woman’s voice, especially when she had confidently told her not to worry and assured her that Bette would be okay.
