"Thank you, Thomas" The women answered in unison as they began their descent towards the escalators.
After making it through the congested security check, the women walked hastily towards the departing gate, Bette armed with her boarding pass and Tina in possesion of her stand-by voucher. Their stride was quicker now, desperate to get to the gate to find out if potential passengers had offered to give up their seat. Both women full of purpose, their conversation haulting as they concentrated on the task at hand.
Tina was the first to speak as the women breathlessly arrived at the gate counter. "Could you tell me if any of the stand-by passengers have been called to receive a ticket?"
The woman punched a few keys on her computer board, her gaze expressionless. "I’m sorry…we haven’t had any volunteers give up their confirmed seats yet. I’ll call you up to the podium if anything changes." The woman quickly looked up, then past Tina, anxious to move the line along.
"Okay…." Tina breathed as she shook her head in astonishment at the curt temper of the airline employee.
"Excuse me. Could you just confirm that Ms. Tina Kennard is in fact at the top of the stand-by list for this flight?" Bette tone was commanding, unimpressed by the cold woman’s attitude behind the counter.
The woman frowned a little before returning her gaze to the computer screen. "Yes, Tina Kennard. First in line. Again, I will call you over the intercom when we know more."
Tina tugged lightly at Bette’s hand, suggesting they leave well enough alone. The women came to rest in a pair of chairs facing the run-way, the images of their bodies sitting side by side reflecting in the clear glass.
"Bette…I can always take another flight…" Tina shrugged, though the option was not really a desirable one.
Bette sighed, nodding her head. "I know….I just…I wanted to hold your hand…when the plane took off…I wanted to sleep next to you…have you sleep next to me…wake up to the statue of liberty peering above the clouds as we landed…" Bette trailed off, feeling the warmth of Tina’s hand upon hers. Bette’s heart melted at the sight of their reflections in the glass, holding hands so tenderly.

Can’t they just take the next available flight? Oh well… I hope your work life will suck less and less in the coming days, firestarter. Thank you for writing and posting this update despite your real-life hurdles. Be well and happy… :>
This is exciting..I find myself leaning forward in anticipation whenever Tina is called to the podium..
Hahaha…I knew it…Bete’s not above bribery. She’s going to make an offer to the person who gives up there seat to Tina. Now what could it be…money…a personalized tour of Alphaville by one Tina Kennard?????? I’ll have to tune in tomorrow for the answer! Great update Fire. You may be swamped, but you are definitely still ablaze with this story!
Bette taking over the microphone is hilarious–I bet people will be stepping up left and right now.
Sorry work has been such a drag for you, luckily, this story hasn’t!!!
She will have an enpty airplane for her and Tina,we know she can work a group of people.
If we volunteer to help out with your pesky work requirements, would we get longer chapters? Cos if that’s the case, you’ll get more volunteers than Bette :D
