Bette then returned to the bedroom space and stood a short distance away from the bed, watching her pretty blonde girlfriend sleep peacefully. No, Bette thought, her smile growing and her heart warming up. She was neither blind nor she worked too much. She just was in love and her complete attention was on Tina every time the blonde came into her field of sight. Bette was so much in love she didn’t care about Tina stuff. She actually loved it! Bette chuckled to herself, kissed her lover tenderly and left for work, making a final decision.

Needless to say that once Tina woke up and turned to spot Bette’s empty side of the bed, she noted the white envelope that rested on Bette’s pillow. Taking it into her hands, the blonde instantly smelled Bette’s perfume and closed her eyes at how heavenly the scent smelled to her. Tina opened her eyes and read the message written on the envelope.

Home is where you are…

Love forever,

Bette

Smiling, Tina gently opened the envelope and turned it over so its insides landed on her palm. It was spare keys from Bette’s apartment.

Tina’s happiness knew no bounds.

Albert Kennard was furious when his eldest daughter hadn’t showed up at home on sixth day in a row. When Tina came to pick up more of her clothes and Albert happened to be at home, the angry man decided to be out with it.

”So, Ms. Christina Kennard doesn’t live at this address anymore, am I understanding this correctly?” Albert asked indignantly, folding his strong arms across his chest.

Tina sighed and paused from rummaging in her closet. She looked at her disgruntled father. ”Dad, please don’t make an elephant out of a fly”

”Don’t you dare dismiss me, Christina! Put yourself in my place for a moment! In your mother’s place! How do you think we should deal with the fact that out child doesn’t want to live at home anymore?”

”You make it sound like I’m doing drugs or something!” Tina’s voice matched her father’s raised one.

”I don’t know! Are you?! How can I know that? Why else you run out of home like this!”

Tina gaped at her father, unable to believe that he just accused her of taking drugs. Right then Amy walked into the room.
