CHAPTER 26
Tina locked her room, and putting the keys in her handbag, she hurried towards the stairs. James was supposed to pick her up in front of the hotel and she was running late. They were going to a small orphanage outside of Santa Maria.
Of course, there were still places and people that she needed to see. And even though things were still stable on the surface, the overall atmosphere was heavy with tension. Heavier than it had been since she had arrived in the country. When they had returned from the lazaretto the night before, they had noticed unusual activity in town. And there were now twice as many factions of soldiers driving around.
Yet, she hadn’t been able to resist the urge to visit the orphanage when she had found out that it had been founded by an Alsacian named Joseph Stahl, who had settled in Santaragua towards the end of his life. James had expressed his concern, and advised that they shouldn’t leave town. But Tina had insisted, offering him to stay, and assuring that she could drive there on her own. The young man had laughed it off, joking that he didn’t mind so much her ending up in an accident, or lost, or even worse, caught in a firefight, but that he really didn’t want to lose his job.
But he knew there was no way he could have changed her mind. He had spent enough time with the blonde to know that when she had set her mind on something, nothing and no one could get in her way. That’s why he had been surprised when they had left the lazaretto only minutes after getting there the day before… Something had happened in that church. Something that had affected her very deeply. But she hadn’t talked about it. In fact, she had stayed somber and silent during the whole trip back.
That is why he had decided that if going to that orphanage meant bringing her smile back, he was willing to risk the journey in spite of his reservations.
After they had settled their meeting for the next morning, Tina had gone up to her room and spent most of the night writing her article on the dreadful epidemic and the situation at the lazaretto. She hadn’t spared any detail, including the authorities’ denial and the total absence of appropriate measures in the country. She had finally sent her report to Aaron in the early hours of the morning and had crashed into bed.

Teasing and torchuring!
I am loving this story. A kiss on the lips is what is needed here. Please!
The pace is just perfect, I love slow and detailed build ups, all the tension…. It gives you this “oh come on!” moment and leaves you hungry for more. Happens everytime I read a chapter you wrote :)Great stuff!Can’t wait to see what will happen next.
These two have such a sweet relationship. When they’re finally free to just *be* together, it’s going to be something fantastic. Loving the story, thanks for the post, KW.
You are making this slow, painful, and beautiful. Love these two and when you finally bring them together….watch out. pps
Please do not let anything happen to Tina while she is out of the city. I hope that Bette begins to get the help that she needs to stop this epidemic. Of course Bette and Tina are always explosive when they are together and their moment of shared time was beautiful.
Loving the slow buildup..great chapter
That was good, they are so cute!
aaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww so sweet!!!!pps
So cute – this two are so cute. I love the story. PPS
OMG, this chapter was… “Outstanding, divine, indescribable…”and it didn’t leave me breathless, but speechless, which is a ” sacré p..ain de tour de force ” in itself. OMG, I really need to recompose here… But first, please tell me this was not all just a dream… Tina’s dream ? Coz I won’t lie to you, when Tina described how much changed ( not to mention divine ) Bette looked compared to the previous day, I was almost certain she was dreaming… Please, tell us the most amazing and unexpected thing happened and Bette really came to Tina’s hotel to thank her… And see her again. And then Tina really did confess she wasn’t there “by accident”… OMG, this is amazing, K ! This is definitely your masterpiece !
I bet they will be seeing each other soon! Only I hope it’s not because Tina gets hurt! The meeting at the hotel was amazing and I can’t wait for more! PPS
Wow – everytime you just leave up dangling off the edge. Amazing story! What a wonderful encounter – you could just feel the love and tension between them – powerful writing! I have to agree with the other posts – every chapter just pulls us in further! PPS
Oh My…Um, I must confess that my heart is beating almost as fast as the hearts of our two ladies. The meeting at the hotel, the kiss…who knew a kiss on the cheek could be so sensual. Every wonderful chapter pulls me further into this amazing story. Please post soon, I’m as anxious to read the next chapter as Bette and Tina are to see one another again. THANK YOU!!!
