    Author Notes:

    What the brunette didn’t know was that Tina returned to her room.

    Bette gave Tina a small smile. “Taking it easy…we live in New York City. It’s filled with stress…will you stop by to see me tomorrow during your shift?” she asked hopefully.

    “I’m officially on vacation. I’ll be away for two weeks.”

    Bette tried to mask the disappointment from her face.

    Tina saw the disappointment. Bette could never hide what she was feeling. Her face displayed so much. “I’m not really in a rush, though. I can stop by tomorrow before I leave. I’m only going down the shore."

    “Down the shore?” Bette asked. She was not familiar with the term.

    “Sorry, it’s a New Jersey term. I guess it’s a term I picked up living here,” Tina chuckled, “it means going to the shore. There are no beaches around here…in northern New Jersey, so the locals call it going "down the shore” when they want to head to the shore towns. Don’t worry. I was confused too. I have a beach house that I bought with my cousins Agnès, CeeCee and J.K.”

    “So you live in New Jersey, not New York?”

    “Yes. Agnès and I moved here together. CeeCee and J.K. followed. When our grandfather passed away, we took our inheritance and bought a brownstone in Hoboken and the shore house. We all live together, but we each have our own apartment. CeeCee lives in the garden apartment. J.K. lives on the first floor apartment. Agnès lives on the second floor apartment and I live on the top floor. And at the shore house, we each have our own room. We call it the “House the Lesbians Built.” Tina laughed when she saw Bette’s surprised expression.

    “So you mean to tell me that you are not the only Kennard who’s gay?”

    “Believe me, I was surprised too.” Tina recalled her three cousins outing themselves to her. “We’ve been best friends since.”

    Bette laughed. She knew Tina’s family had given her a hard time being in a relationship with her and now there are three other cousins who were gay.

    “Oh, look at the time. It’s almost one. I better go so you can sleep.” Tina stood and placed the chair where it was before. “Goodnight, Bette. Rest easy."

    “Thank you for stopping by. Goodnight Tee." Bette gave the blonde a smile which Tina returned. She watched as Tina left her room. The brunette closed her eyes and within minutes she was asleep.

    Tina made sure Bette was asleep before she returned to her room. She brought a pillow and blanket from the PA lounge and quietly positioned two chairs together for her to sit in. She made herself comfortable in the chairs as best she could and stared at the brunette. The light from the monitor casted a soft glow on one side of Bette’s face. A face still beautiful, Tina thought. The day’s events had worn her down. She made a mental note to get up before the change of shift in a few hours and soon she was fast asleep near the head of the bed. The soul mates were aware they were in close proximity and reached for each other’s hand in their sleep.

    9. Thank you for the great update. My comment to the previous chapter on Bette being guilty too was meant as a reply to other comments, and not directed to Bette.

    11. Can I assume the silent reaching for each other is an unconscious response to memories of their past together? Or is it a ‘time heals all wounds’ kind of scenario, and Bette is allowing her feelings for Tina to come to the surface? Cheating isn’t the endgame that some make it out to be…and for some reason Tina (in the show and seemingly in your story) is more ‘judged’ for cheating with a man than Bette is for cheating with a woman. I have more thoughts on the matter…but not for public consumption.

    12. I don’t know why I got that impression that Tina had been celibate… clearly not! That’s neither here nor there, though. It will be very interesting to see if they continue to seek each other out and how they’ll interact when and if they do see each other from this point forward. Thanks for the post, tg. :)

    13. Welcome to “down the shore”! Hope you put their house in Asbury Park! Gayest town on the shore! Great shops! Mucho Galleries! Craftsmen! and of course the famous boardwalk and coolest beaches and NIGHTLIFE! Lotsa music here! Come one…LoL
