Cure-all, Chapter 37
Freedom…
Tina shivered. The evening had been tough but its outcome was happier than she had thought. And now, the enormity of what it all meant was simply overwhelming, and she couldn’t settle her heart.
She was free…
Free to be with her, free to hold her, free to whisper words of love to her, free to caress her, to kiss her…
The brightest smile spread across her face as she finally let the tears fall freely.
She was free to love Bette Porter, and that was the most exhilarating feeling in the world.
CHAPTER 37
She was working.
In fact, that’s all that she had been doing for the past two days. She had retreated to her lab where she had spent most of her time since her return from Santaragua.
The work she had accomplished there had allowed them to make miraculous progress, and they were now working their butts off towards the elaboration of a formula.
… The vaccine’s formula.
Bette dedicated herself entirely to the precious task. They were so close and she could already feel the familiar and thrilling rise of adrenaline preceding each long-awaited discovery. Moments like this always reminded her why she loved her job so much, and how worthy all she had been through was.
But focusing on her research also provided her with the distraction she desperately needed so that she could block away all thoughts from her mind… And one in particular.
After leaving the airport that night, she had stopped by the hospital to get stitches for her injury. Then, she had gone directly to the CDC and started going through her notes. One hour later, Tim had found her asleep at her desk, the cheek glued to her notes. After waking her and greeting her with a tight hug, he had ordered her to go to bed. She had mumbled some incoherent instructions about sending her situation report along with her latest test results to the World Health Organization. Tim had nodded laughing, promising her to do so, and he had taken her home.
The following morning, she was drinking her coffee in front of the TV news, when Tina’s face had suddenly appeared on the screen. Bette had gasped… It was the interview from the night before. Holding her breath, she hadn’t been able to take her eyes off the screen… Off the beloved face. She hadn’t registered her words right away, even though she could hear nothing but the soft angelic voice that made her heart beat that little bit faster whenever it reached her ears.

Caught up on the chapters I missed, yippie! I missed this story. Can’t wait for the to meet in Paris. Since you mentioned them I have to rant about it… how could Carla Bruni marry that guy? I thought she was smarter than that.
Gee thanks for 8 pages! We’ve all missed you. Can’t wait for their Paris meeting..
Oh, I can’t wait for you to bring on Gay Par-eeee! And I do mean Gay! What a beautiful place for a declaration of eternal love — the very idea just makes you want to melt. Thank you for the long update. I’ll patiently wait for another one because they are so wonderful!

That was great and hope B&T meet in Paris!
Love.All! PPS! SK/C
no matter where they are in the world fate always brings them together…
Goodness me, 1st Helena puts her business b4 T and now Bette does…whats up with these women? Lol. Love in Paris huh? Congrats on the job.
Hahaha ! Roland Garros, I knew it ! I knew it !!! It had to be Paris !! Well, I think Bette is going to get one hell of a surprise and shock ! But now that I think about it, does Tina know that Bette is in Paris, or was she only told that she had left for Europe ? Oh, well, I guess she knows where the love of her life is… As for Bette watching the news on TV at the beginning… C’est sûr, je comprends que la venue de Sarko et Carlita à Washington l’ait ramenée sur terre après la très belle “déclaration” de Tina… LOL !! Il est tellement glamour notre président ! Anyways, this was an amazing chapter, K !! I loved every word. And I thought it was a smart move to have Helena invite Bette over for lunch to have that little discussion. It’s very classy of Helena to basically give Bette and Tina her “blessing”. Great chapter !! Oh, mais tiens, puisque j’y suis, j’en profite : Joyeux anniversaire Bette, heu… K !!! C’est promis je n’ai pas fait exprès d’attendre jusqu’à aujourd’hui pour commenter, j’ai réellement été débordée ces deux ou trois derniers jours…
