"Wow, it must have been a huge change for you. I love L.A., but it must pale in comparison to all the places you have been and your work there. Not even mentionning the value of it. That must have been really tough for you."
"Well yes, in fact it was. It really was…"
Tina looked at Bette. In the eyes of her companion, she saw nothing but admiration and understanding. It was as if Bette had read straight into her heart, and understood what she had been through. At the time, her friends had been so glad to have her back that they had unvoluntarily dismissed her emotional struggle about it… Helena included.
Not that she ever regretted her decision. It was definitely the right choice. But it felt good to finally have someone understand the implications of her career change.
"But you surely know what it’s like. Your research expeditions must have taken you to fascinating places."
"Well yes, I guess one could say I had my share of travelling around" Bette answered with a smile. Then she added, more serious "But like you, the things I’ve seen weren’t always fascinating…"
"Yeah… I know…" Tina answered softly.
"Tell me about your grandfather, Tina." Bette said quickly, eager to keep the mood light-hearted.
The smile that suddenly appeared on Tina’s face was so delightful that in that moment, Bette decided to mentally start a list of things to say to Tina in order to bring that smile back as often as possible. Ask about her grandfather was number one…
"Oh Bette, he’s the best! He’s so kind and cheerful. And also very smart. He taught me everything!"
The blonde’s enthousiasm was so great that it was getting infectious, and soon, Bette found herself grinning from ear to ear while listening to the recovered grandchild in Tina.
She would go on and on about her Pappy. She wanted Bette to know everything. How Charles Kennard had decided to leave his beloved Alsace in France with his young bride, and try his luck with the vines of the Napa Valley. How, from a very small vineyard, his Gewurztraminer had slowly grown to become one of the most sought-after wines in California. Its success had gotten them a decent land where his vines were now flourishing, giving them a great vintage each year. Their house, Walheim, where she had grown up, was located on a small hill and overlooked the whole vineyard. It was beautiful.

I wonder how long Tina’s denial will last? I LOL when she purposed that Bette hadn’t met the right woman – she certainly didn’t marry the right one. I hope you are able to post again soon. I’m anxious to see how Tina queries Bette…
I’m really liking this story. PPS!
Okay, I know that Tina just got married and it is still her wedding day, but Bette is more of her type than Helena. Heck Helena is not even aware that Tina is not within the walls of the wedding party.
Maybe Tina had her fingers crossed during her vows and she can call “Do-overs!” ???
K, I’m sure you were dreading BetteandTinaforever’s question ! Hahaha ! Are you gonna dare answering that one ? ( raising eyebrow ) ? Just kidding ! Just kidding ! Je suis sûre que ça ne peut pas être pire que mes casseroles… Luckily for you, I have a feeling the series never aired abroad and thus was never translated into English… Am I wrong ? Oh, and by the way, does Pappy still speak with an Alsacian accent ?!! I mean, Alsacian accent in English must be absolutely priceless !! You have to post an audio file here, K ! LOL ! Anyway, I loved the chapter as usual and I can’t wait for more. Oh, and I have a feeling Bette and Tina’s Pappy are gonna get along very well, probably way too well for Helena’s taste in fact…
That was great, B&T are so cute. Hope they will be together soon. Please more, thanks!
too bad helena will be off some where and bette and tina will be having fun… i agree with valenkat7… an annullmaent is just around the corner… PPS
I predict an annullment in the future for Tina as she is falling for Bette already and Bette is falling for her. but I’m sure there’s much more drama to be had before that ever happens! PPS
Wonderful chapter, KWord. I love the openness and honesty in T&B’s conversation. Hey, I trust their destiny in your great writing skills. PPS
This story is wonderful!!! I think it is going to very ugly before it gets better. B&T are ment to be together. Thanks G PPS
great update, i love how fast they both became close friends, and i hope soon Tina will be asking: Helena who? btw, it made me want to see the series…can you tell us the name?
These two women are just drawn to one another. I love how they interact they are destind to be great friends and I can see more than that on the horizon. PPS
Pappy Kennard will LOVE Bette! Now we just need to ditch Helena somehow. I agree with Bette’s joke about plane food. Most of it tastes like cardboard.
