Hey, are you okay?

Yeah sure, come on in Bette was on shorts and a top, half now sitting on the bed doing her nightly routine, Tina just looked at her, it was disconcerting, had been a while since she had seen like this, never laid eyes before on the big scar on the side of her left knee,

Hey is it okay to be that swollen? Tina asked

No is just that… am supposed to stand up and move at least every hour or so, and well this is the price for lazy around in the couch, is not that bad really she said, she didnt mind actually she was used to this, the pain thou not always welcome, made her remember she was alive, for the longest time the pain was the only friend she had

how that works?

is just a spray, I massage it a little and then dries

Can I help? Tina said trying to snatch the spray from Bettes hand

Is okay, I can do it

Would you let me? Tina asked crooking her head to the side, being sickeningly cute

Bette move to the middle of the bed and handed Tina the spray tub,

Tina sat there on her knees, move her wet hair out of her face and warmed a little her hands before start Is this way okay? Tina asked softly, spraying some of the liquid and spreading it with small circles, a small frown of concentration on her face

Bette said yes with the head, she was far more concern for other things, she was enchanted and she find herself wanting nothing more then fall into the spell. Just then a realization came to her, she had already fallen, a bit deeper when Tina told her to be scare together, a bit easier when try to convince her to return her movies at the blockbuster, a bit sweeter when she had played with the girls and bit more intimate with every look and every touch, a bit stronger with each concession and acceptance she had made make for this work, slowly but surely this woman had manage to restore her, in ways she didnt dare to dream, she was not complete yet, Bette knew it, maybe she could never be again, but for some reason Tina accepted the wreck the she was now, And with no less fear then the first time, she admitted to herself She was in love with Tina Kennard, and that growing reborn love was no longer deniable.
