    Author Notes:

    Chapter 9

    Bette’s mid morning client meeting went much as expected, with promises of a big sale, but nothing signed to allow her to consider it a done deal. After escorting the client to the front of the gallery, she stopped by Tara’s desk.

    “Do you have any take out menus I can glance at? I’m famished.”

    Tara looked quizzically at her.

    “Tina just dropped off your lunch,” she finally said. “I put it in your office when you were in the board room.”

    “Oh she did, did she?” Bette replied. “Thanks.”

    She opened her door and spotted the tray immediately in the centre of her desk. A single gerber daisy rested in a small bud vase at the corner of the tray. Chilled avocado soup was the centrepiece of the display, and a simple presentation of marinated artichoke hearts, pesto and lightly grilled crustini rounded out the meal.

    “She absolutely does know me…” Bette said quietly, noting the card that rested at the tray’s edge.

    She pulled it from the envelope, considering its cover momentarily. On it was a candid shot Shane had taken of the three of them – Bette, Tina and Angelica – on Angelica’s fourth birthday. It had been taken with Tina’s camera, so Bette had never actually seen it before, but had had it described to her by Alice.

    “You should see how she’s looking at you Bette. I tell you, a picture truly is worth a thousand words. And she has it framed in her living room…don’t you think that says something?”

    “It’s for Angelica, Alice,” Bette assured her. “She wants her to see that we get along. She’s not interested in re-kindling something with me again…”

    Bette opened the card to see what sentiment had been written. Again the familiar script met her.

    “Moments like this, made me realize what you mean to me. I’m very much looking forward to Friday. T.”

    Bette sat at her desk and dipped into the soup. Just as she remembered, it was delicious. Tina always made it on hot summer days when neither one of them could stand the thought of turning the stove on.

    Bette leaned in and inhaled the scent of the daisy. Tina didn’t give flowers often, but when she did, this was the flower of choice. She always said she gave this flower because it was the first gift she’d ever received from Bette – on one of their first dates, Bette had brought over a bouquet of them. She didn’t realize how much such little gestures meant to Tina until one day she was returning home from a trip to the grocery store, just after the baby was born and they were all living as a family again.

    2. I truly hope this wonderful story will have a happy B&T end….should I be worried that you haven’t got any idea about where this is headed??? I don’t think my fragile TiBette heart can take another break-up. I don’t mind waiting for a NC-17, that is not a flashback, to happen – because it’s really adorable reading about Tina reeling Bette in :o)) But please let this be a happy family story, do I’ve to beg LOL….BTW I love the flashbacks.

    4. You are soooo good JKS. The photograph Tina sent to Bette sounds “picture perfect” for “Future Perfect.” I hope Tina keeps being patient, loving, and honest with Bette; and I hope Bette calls Terri tomorrow and tells her she doesn’t want to see her. Bette needs to think about who she wants in her life, and I’m sure she already knows it’s not Terri. I will be paitently awaiting your next post JKS!

    11. if you listening to us then i hope you’re getting B&T back together for good but i don’t mind waiting…waiting is good, i love the intensity and unpedictable situations…as long as they are together in the end…thank you

    12. i can see that Tina had an extra-help in san francisco. something i wish this will be easy for them to be together as Tina said but i am agree with Bette the waiting will be worthy! i hope Tina continue figthing for the love of her live! wonderful wonderful chapter!

    19. as much as my sick body is allowing me. im dancing all over the office. loved it and i loved starting my work day reading your lovely, descriptive words. always a good feeling. thanks.

    25. swimmie…I love your writing. I went back and reread all of your stories. It was gloriously exhausting but sheer pleasure. When I see that you’ve posted, i’m so excited.

    27. Ah, yellow label hey ? If it’s the vintage Presidents Collection, Tina may have stiff competition ! There are some tastes that seduce your pallet brazenly, and that is one beautiful example. Tina is trying too hard, there is an old adage ” You can lead a horse to water, but you cant make it drink” – in my opinion she has showed her hand, time for Bette to know how to play hers.Always a pleasure, thank you for your time ………….
