    Author Notes:

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

     

    “You can count on me.” Tina declared in professional mode, “And if the L.A. Times doesn’t push enough buttons, I’ll make sure we strike higher.” She assured.

     

    Kit nodded, impressed by the blonde’s determination. She liked this woman, and she could certainly see why Bette was so taken by her.

     

    “Oh, I can’t believe I almost forgot” Tina said, “The American Embassy will provide you anything that you might need. And that includes sending Bette’s research results and material back home. I met with the Ambassador yesterday who committed to it. I have his word.”

     

    Kit let out a deep sigh.

     

    “Thank you… Bette will be so relieved to know that at least her results and formulas can be transferred safely. It will put her mind at rest to know that maybe this whole tragedy will not have happened in vain…”

     

    Then she added, raising both eyebrows.

     

    “She’s close you know…”

     

    Tina grinned.

     

    “I’ve never had a single doubt about that…” She said softly, “She will find the cure.” She added with a confident nod.

     

    Kit smiled,

     

    “Yes, she will.”

     

    With that, Tina got into the car where James was waiting. She turned to Kit and gave her a bright smile.

     

    The older woman returned it. And even thought Tina knew it couldn’t be genetic, she recognized in Kit’s smile the undeniable print of the Porter charm.

     

    … Except in Bette’s case, it was unique and absolutely irresistible.

     

    “I’ll see you soon, Tina.” Kit said, before waving her off.

     

    Only after the lazaretto had disappeared in the rear-view mirror did the blonde realize that at no point during their brief encounter she had told Kit her name…

     

    ———————————————————————————–

     

    James’car was already a cloud of dust in the horizon when Bette rushed out of the church, the Rosita’s handbook in hand.

     

    She looked at the disappearing car with sorrow, gripping the precious pink booklet with both hands.

     

    Kit approached her from behind,

     

    “It was her, wasn’t it?”

     

    Bette didn’t answer. She couldn’t, she didn’t have enough strength. She was too shocked up with regret to utter a single word.

     

    But Kit didn’t need an answer. Of course it was her. She had known the second she had seen Tina and the look in her eyes as she’d been watching Bette… And that’s why she had called her by her name.

     

    She walked closer to Bette and said softly,

     

    “And there you were, wondering whether she loved you…”

     

    Then, with a soft smile, she walked back towards the church, leaving Bette standing there to ponder her words.

     

    The brunette didn’t move for a while, and kept staring at the horizon.

     

    Then slowly, she lowered her gaze and her eyes fell upon the small handbook.

     

    She smiled.

     

    She knew what she had to do…

     

     

    TBC…

    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. :)
