Alice! Bette screamed, knowing that somehow Alice had something to do with the unknown photo.

Oh my, Tina managed to gasp out. When was that taken?

Bette thought a moment. I think I know. Remember that night last year when Alices apartment was being fumigated, and she stayed here? She walked in on us, but swore she didnt see anything. That little rat – I bet she watched first and then got her camera and took a picture. Theres no telling what other kinds of pictures she took!

Tina caressed Bettes arm. Now, calm down, babe. I dont think Alice would have taken pictures of us when we were, well, you know. Im sure she just thought taking this one picture would be funny.

Bette knew in her heart Tina was probably right. Besides, Tina went on. I happen to think we look kind of ***** in that picture.

Bette grinned in reply, turning off the TV and DVD player before once again taking Tinas hand and helping her up. Come, sweetie, our journey isnt over.

They followed another path of rose petals, this time to the kitchen, where it led to the refrigerator. Bette opened the door and extracted a bottle of sparkling grape juice, a bowl of fresh strawberries, and some whipped cream. Pouring Tina a glass of champagne, she sat her down at the table and proceeded to delicately feed her strawberries dipped in cream.

Tina was delighted, especially when Bette put a dollop of whipped cream onto her lips and then leaned over to kiss it off.

Now, onward we go, Bette said, wiping her hands on a dish towel and leading Tina along as they followed another trail of rose petals. This one lead to the bedroom, where the bed was covered with rose petals in different shades of white, pink, red, and peach, with the white petals spelling out the letters B & T against a contrasting sea of the other petals.

Beautiful bouquets of flowers filled every available surface of the room, and on the bed lay a beautiful gold locket in the shape of a heart. As Tina opened it up, she saw that there was a picture of herself on one half, and a picture of Bette on the other side. Bette helped Tina put it on, leaning in to whisper in her ear, Tina, youve captured my heart.
