Cure-all, Chapter 37
“Phyllis.” She nodded in greeting.
“How is it going?… Any progress?” She inquired.
Bette looked at Tim with a smirk. They had decided not to announce anything yet regarding the ‘actual’ stage of their research. Call it superstition, but before she made anything official, Bette wanted to check and finalize every single detail so that she could ascertain her conclusions and the formula.
“We’re getting there…” She replied, intentionally vague.
Phyllis raised her eyebrows.
“Do you think you’ll have something substantial for your presentation at the International Conference on Virology next week?”
Bette frowned.
“The International Conference?”
Phyllis sighed.
“God, Bette, where is your head? I know you’ve been through an awful lot in Central America, but we’ve been talking about this conference for months!… And I suppose you do remember that you’re giving a presentation, right?” She added, arching a brow.
“Sure…” Bette lied, “… Of course I do.”
“Good… I’m counting on you, Bette.” Phyllis insisted, “This Conference is of high importance and we want to look good. Some of the most illustrious scientists will be in Paris for the occasion.”
“… In Paris???” The brunette exclaimed.
The woman stared at her.
“Yes, Bette…” She answered, with an annoyed sigh, “At the Pasteur Institute in Paris … Oh, and we’re leaving in four days, in case you forgot about that too. Shall I also remind you what a virus is, or do you think you will be able to handle that?”
Bette let out an apologetic smile, still shocked by the perspective of a trip to Europe. Ironically enough, and even though it tore her apart, this Conference couldn’t have come at a better time… And she knew she couldn’t miss it anyway.
Still… She just hated the idea of being so far away from L.A… Even if only for a few days… And even though she tried to convince herself that there was nothing to expect…
“Right, I’ll let you two get back to work.” Phyllis said, heading to the door. There she turned, “And remember, we need something juicy!”
After her boss had left, Bette turned to Tim.

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!

I love it! After all they have been through – they will find each other in Paris and be able to declare their love! It doesn’t get any better than that. Excellent Chapter! I love how you are bringing this story together – so great! PPS
Yipee, we’re off to the City of Love. These two deserve some loving!
Oh Wow, Bette and Tina in the city of love and free to be with one another. I can’t wait for the next post to see how they come to meet each other.
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…
