    Author Notes:

    Tibette beginning… That’s when she saw her. Her heart stopped… Oh God, Bette…

    CHAPTER 25

     

     

    “We’re almost there!”

     

    James’ exclamation sent a blow to her heart that released the thousands butterflies in her stomach. She took a deep breath, trying to prepare herself for what was about to come.

     

    As soon as she saw the old church, her immediate thought was that it was as magnificent as it was frightening. The dust raised by the wind as they drove across the esplanade gave the whole place a surreal and mystical atmosphere.

     

    As she got out of the car, her heart beating wildly and the Rosita’s handbook in hand, a sudden anxiety overwhelmed her. The air was thick and it exuded ominous silence and stillness. As if slowly entering the invisible airlock of death.

     

    She walked into the church and stopped at the threshold of whimpers, in the middle of the white forms lying all around. She had come across similar tragedies before, but never to this degree of desolation, of pain… She was suddenly unable to take another step. Feeling the familiar sting of tears in her eyes, she slowly raised her head and looked around…

     

    That’s when she saw her. Her heart stopped… Oh God, Bette…

     

    Her white blouse was covered with blood. Yesterday’s blood?… Today’s?… Probably both… Her hair was tied messily and her face, both tanned and somber, was worn-out by exhaustion. She was going back and forth between the beds. Suddenly she bent over a child who was holding his hand out to her, and caressed the moist forehead while gently speaking to him.

     

    Tina was staring at her adoringly. She had never found her more beautiful. The brunette was smiling at the boy but Tina could feel all the pain and despair contained in that smile. Was the boy going to die?… Maybe. But until the very end, Bette would maintain his hope alive.

     

    God I love her, she thought.

     

    And all of a sudden, she felt humbled and small before this example of courage and human greatness when faced with desolation and despair. She looked at the Rosita’s handbook that she had been holding in a strong grip ever since she had stepped into the church, and in that moment, she felt ashamed.

    2. yay!! this is a great story that can take many turns…i love the variations of tina and bette’s first meetungs. lokk forward to reading more and thanks for taking the time to share with us.

    10. The memorable romance stories always have impediments that the couple must overcome to be together. It was easier to write those stories in the past when geography, family feuds, class, nationality, race, or marital status would be enough to separate a couple. Today in America, it is very hard to write a classic romance because there are few believable external impediments to a couple’s love. I have loved your story from its opening lines, but I was certain that Tina would leave Helena and she and Bette would be together. This is not meant to trivialize what you were writing. It has all been wonderful and a pleasure. I just could not imagine that there was anything in Tina and Helena’s marriage that would stop Tina from eventually leaving the relationship to be with Bette. BUT by sending Bette on her research trip, you have created the classic romance story. There are dangers everywhere. More poignantly, they do not share the same dangers (at least not yet), so that Bette had to send Tina away and Tina accepted that she had to leave. You have moved your already great story in a direction that will be dramatic and poignant and frightening and heartbreaking. I promise that I will travel over every bump you create, though I may be clutching tissues to my tear-streaked cheeks (OK, a bit melodramatic, but you get my point, right?). Kudos for this shift in the story’s direction. I can’t wait to read your next chapter.

    12. just got back today from the convention… it was amazing… i am so gladi was a part of this history making weekend… now on to your strory… i love this and home to 2 chapters… just added another layer to my weekend… so tina realized she never told kit her name… bette has been talking about her… love the love… bring it on… i can’t wait to read what bette has to do…PPS

    16. This is one of the amazing love story that has been on this site in a long time. When one can go half way around the world to see the one you love. Into a danger zone. Dont want Helena to get hurt,but would love to see them together when Bette gets back to LA.Just bring Bette and Tina home safe. thanks

    18. I just clicked on this update and read it even though I have not read any of the other previous chapters, but your writing is amazing! I am totally sucked in. As a reader you can feel the passion just in this chapter. I wish I had time to go read the other chapters now but I will look for them the next time I visit .Thanks for sharing

    23. Bette now knows that Tina loves her. She will work even harder now that she feels she has something to go home to (not that Bette is not working hard already). I hope that Tina is able to come through with her articles.

    27. By the way, I just read Spumoni’s brilliant and beautiful comment and I couldn’t agree more with everything she/he ( I’m sorry, I don’t know you Spumoni but I’m amazed by your… ” eloquence ” ) wrote. And I wanted to add that I think you really deserve everything she/he wrote… Et ce n’est pas un petit compliment !

    28. Well, I’m glad to “hear” that Bette knows what she has to do because I certainly wouldn’t, not in this situation… Anyways, this really is heartwrenching K, probably even more than if they hadn’t seen each other at all in fact, but of course this was beautiful… And at least Bette now knows for sure Tina has feelings for her and hopefully that will give her one more reason to take care of herself… As for Tina, I suspect she already knew Bette cared a lot about her, but I guess she just had a confirmation there, huh ?… And I have a feeling she thinks this was sooooo worth taking the risk she took by going to the Lazaretto… Even if their brief “meeting” was damn frustrating. THIS IS GREAT, K ! I just can’t wait to read more !

    29. Bette is going to look really silly practicing the Tango out in the middle of no where. Please let her find the cure soon and get away from that horrible place. PS

    31. Ohhhh – how I love this built up between Bette and Tina! So it will be so much sweeter when they are finally together!!! What a great chapter – please PLEASE post soon! Thanks. :)
