“No offense Tina and I know you’re the cook and everything, but that sounds disgusting.”
“You’ve had this dessert before and you said the same thing the first time…before you actually tasted it.”
Bette watched Tina place two scoops of vanilla onto a dessert bowl. She topped the ice cream with strawberries and drizzle the dark and thick balsamic syrup over the strawberries and ice cream. “Let me taste. Maybe it will jog my memory.” Bette walked over to Tina and stood next to her.
Tina took a spoon from the drawer. She filled the spoon with the vanilla ice cream, strawberries and just the right amount of the balsamic syrup and fed the brunette.
Bette closed the mouth and savored the flavors. She closed her eyes and recalled the exact moment she had the dessert the very first time. She smiled at the memory. “Half Moon Bay…at the inn… I was in San Francisco for a meeting and you surprised me and we drove down to Half Moon Bay and spent the weekend there and you ordered this dessert our first night there.” She opened her eyes. “How did I forget that? The only time we left our room was for sustenance.”
“Wow…I’m impressed.” Tina grinned. “That was such a long time ago.”
Bette picked a strawberry from the bowl. “You remembered it.” She popped the strawberry in her mouth and proceeded to make her ice cream concoction.
Tina stood with her mouth open.
“If you keep your mouth open long enough a bug will fly in there.”
“Ha. Ha.” Tina ate her ice cream.
The two women sat side-by-side, each relaxing on their own lounge. Bette’s legs were stretched out in front of her, a throw covering her legs. Tina’s legs were tucked underneath her. The dessert bowls lay empty on a nearby table. Each woman lost in their own thoughts.
“Tell me about Andrea.” Tina broke the silence.
Bette pondered the request. “What would you like to know?” She lowered her gaze to the wine glass she was holding.
“You know, I usual. How did you meet? Where you dating long? Where did you get married? That sort of thing.” Tina sipped her wine and watched Bette.

Wonderful update enjoyed it. They will get it together before long, now that they know how the other feels. Thanks for posting.
The idea of them being alone at the beach sounds so romantic to me. Great way to refresh their memories of their happy times together. Thanks for the update T! PPS
**I meant them being alone at the beach house(-;
Great update.I think Andrea is now history.Thank you and PPS
More coincidences with Andrea and Tina…. interesting. Bette’s clearly been yearning for Tina for a long, long time. Maybe she’ll make the most of her opportunity, if she can get past everything. I’m curious about this strawberry/balsamic vinegar/ice cream concoction… but not curious enough to try it myself, as my palate is the stuff of cowards. I have a very willing test subject in mind though. ;) Thanks for the post, tg. :)
Thanks for the update. Ditto to the above comments. Its a wonderful story of hopefully new beginnings.
That was just so great. Thank you
Really enjoyed the update, thanks
Sweet Mary mother of God you’re singing my song…reduced balsamic vinegar and ice cream with strawberries. I haven’t had that for a long time. Clearly, Bette has some lingering Tina issues, and was trying to find her substitute in Andrea.
So much time lost. That’s so sad.
Thats good and they need to talk
That’s me all caught up… Perfect chapter… Not sure about the strawberries and balsamic vinegar but ‘don’t knock it until you tried it’ right? Funny the things you do unconsciously which link you to your past…. And even when they are pointed out to you, you don’t pay attention until it nearly slaps you in the face… Great piece of writing too! XxK
so bittersweet for these two always, but I guess love is never easy and simple
