A weight lifted from Bette’s spirit and happy tears cascaded down her cheeks. She lifted Tina and spun her around before placing her gently back on the ground.
Both of their hands were shaking as Bette eased the ring onto Tina’s finger. She kissed the princess cut gem and pulled Tina close. “I love you so much,” she said.
“Bette, you’ve made me so happy. I would love to marry you. You are my soulmate,” Tina replied.
When they separated Tina rolled her eyes at herself. “Oh my God. I’m so blind. I had no idea. I just…I really thought we were meeting your friends.”
Bette grinned. “I know you did. And truth…I don’t have that many friends, T. I just needed a reason for you not to get suspicious.”
Tina smiled at her. “I love it. I love everything about this night. I love this place and the food and the wine. And you. And this ring. And my life. My life with you.”
“There’s one more thing, Tina.”
The blonde watched as her fiancé pulled her phone from her pocket. The piano intro to Johnny Mathis’ “Chances Are” began to play through the Bluetooth speakers mounted in the room. Bette placed the phone on the table and reached for Tina’s hand.

“Dance with me?” she asked.
Tina nodded eagerly and in moments, she was wrapped in Bette’s arms, her head resting in the crook of her lover’s neck.
His beautiful voice was crisp and delicate as it enveloped them.
Chances are ’cause I wear a silly grin
The moment you come into view
Chances are you think that I’m in love with you
They glided together amid the fragrance of peach and mint.
With the city skyline before them.
Candlelight surrounding them.
Guess you feel you’ll always be the one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good
The chances are your chances are awfully good
When the music stopped, they moved back to the window, watching the view once more. Bette held on to Tina, savoring the feel of her woman in her arms. Imprinting every moment of this night in her mind.
“Babe?” Tina said softly.
“Yes, Sweetie?”
Tina turned around in her lover’s arms, her eyes bright and shining. “You’re my fiancé!” she said.

This is a special chapter. Very romantic and very special. Tina is growing in her understanding of Bette. And that is good to see. Tina goes from being pissed off which she seldom has been with Bette, to being total captivated by her love and soul. They are truly soul mates. And this dinner was wonderful and they almost got distracted. But in the end, Bette and Tina are now engaged. I am so happy for them.
So….the introduction which was a recount of Tina’s relationship with her Kennard family; what did that have to do with this chapter? Perhaps I missed it. I shall reread it again.
Thank you for this lovely episode in the life of Bette and Tina. I love the retelling of the Greek mythology. It is so Bette ! Truly a great experience for me as a reader…
Thank you for your chapter…. love when you publish.
I absolutely loved Bette telling the story of soul mates to Tina prior to the proposal. Talk about being deep off your feet! Guess the retelling of Papa Kennard and crew is paving the way for Tina taking the rest of them down as promised.
Thank you for the chapter!
It was a great trick from Bette – perfect date. Tina agreed and it also allow her dodged a bullet from Tina’s anger about all business Bette with her boss.
And i like story about soulmates as well.
Thank you so much for this chapter I enjoyed it in it’s entirety !
More please, as soon as possible :-)

First of all this. Chapter is a “Masterpiece” I loved it.. from the first step into the dining room I knew this was the night. It was beautifully described the whole way through. Thank you.????
Yes women can be pussy whiped in one since but on her back no.. ????
“Hon” slipped from pam’s lips ????
Oh and the death words.. “I’m fine” my wife hates it when I say that.. she usually steps back. Bette apparently wasn’t acquainted in the finer points of what not to do when hearing those two word come out of her womans mouth. Lol
And lastly have you been watching someone drink wine lately?????
A double posting again? You are too good to us, MTS. Thanks a lot! After doing my usual weekend chores I started reading.
An engagement! I’m so happy. T + B feeling secure enough in their love to make a commitment. Beautiful proposal. Thank you for reminding me of Platon respectively Aristophanes.
It was to be expected that Bette’s “talk” with Davis came out sooner or later. But I didn’t expect Tina’s reaction at all. Angry or pissed Tina I did expect but the way you had her going through the emotions was something else. At first giving Bette the (nearly) silent treatment and then listening to her soul, banishing the anger and disappointment that had poisoned her heart for a moment. So good!
But I’m curious what will come out of her interview. Will she tell Bette before it gets published? Whatever she told and put in motion with it, she shouldn’t have made that decision on her own. Everything she does will effect her soon to be wife in one way or another.
Thank you, MTS, for the double treat. Enjoy your weekend, stay strong
