”I dedicate this song to my significant other, my soulmate, my one and only. Her name is Tina Kennard, she stole my heart six months ago… Carmen, could you please direct the spotlight…” Bette said, pointing to the VIP zone. Once the light was on Tina, a big mushy smile played on Bette’s lips. ”Yeah, there she is…” She added, longing to take her lover in her arms and forget about the whole outer world. ”I love you, Tina, always…”

And then with Kit’s soft back vocal Bette began to sing in a deep sensual voice that got under Tina’s skin and made her swoon with emotion.

I have faith while you breathe

Today I’ll keep fighting

As long as I live, I ain’t ready to give up

And as the sun rises up –

So I’ll rise as you light up my way.

Only your name on my lips makes me feel so strong

Overcoming my fear…

Only your name on my lips inspires me when I’m going

In my dreams so clear…

Gripping the railing tight, Tina let the hot tears fall down her cheeks. She couldn’t express how happy she was at the moment, practically bursting with love. Somehow she was sure nobody had ever experienced such intense emotions and she was feeling extraterrestrial because of it.

Daylight is protecting me from evil of this dirty world

Shine of certainty in your eyes is permanent, and I must hold on…

Tina closed her eyes, imagining herself with Bette in space, whirling around in embrace like two enamored feathers, hearing nothing, but their own soft breath.

…Bringing only pain and sorrow, pain and sorrow –

I will tell your name

And it’s like a key…

Only your name on my lips makes me feel so strong

Overcoming my fear…

Only your name on my lips inspires me when I’m going

In my dreams so clear…

Shane was standing at the railing too, but keeping some distance from Tina as she felt that the blonde needed her own personal space at the moments like this. Shane smiled, watching her friend fully laying herself out onstage. She was glad that Bette was playing and singing again, she knew it was Bette’s talent and passion. Glancing at Tina, Shane saw pure bliss on her face, even though her eyes were closed, Shane could almost sense the blonde emanating with love. Then, as if by accident Shane’s gaze fell on Helena, who was still standing in the corner. Despite the darkness, Shane could tell that her friend was intently watching Tina and the look in her eyes was anything, but innocent. Shane furrowed her brows – the look was…lewd.
