    Author Notes:

    A dream…and a coming out party.

    Tina wrapped her arms around her partner, gently stroking her hair…wondering if her being here in the bed that Bette shared with Nica for eleven years, might have brought up some buried feelings of loss for Bette.

    Are you Ok? Tina asked while placing soft kisses on Bettes forehead.

    Not wanting to worry Tina, Bette managed a sad smile. Yeah…it was just so real. They lay in silence for awhile, til Bette whispered. Its not about how I feel about her compared to you…I just miss being able to talk to her…you know?

    Tina traced her index finger down Bettes cheek. I understand Baby. I can only imagine how hard it must have been…how hard it must still be to lose someone so abruptly, that you love so deeply. Tina continued to hold Bette, stroking her hair until Tina started to fall back to sleep. Bette on the other hand was unable to stop her brain from going back and forth about what Nica said, and what it meant she needed to do. No matter what, Nica was very clear about Bette needing to let go of her unhealthy attachment to her New York gallery. It was time to go to Tina in Seattle, and Bette made a silent promise to Nica that she would show Tina that she was ready for this next step. After a couple of hours spent deep in thought, Bette finally managed to doze off again, still feeling the lingering touch of her second love, grateful for her brief return…determined to follow through with her request.

    ~ ~ ~

    “Wow!” Bette’s appreciative eyes slowly moved down Tina’s body, taking in every glorious inch of her, grateful once again to the fates for bringing them back into each others lives.

    They were standing in Bette’s bedroom, just finishing getting ready for the New Years’s Eve party that Kennter Galleries hosted every year. The party had been a tradition that Bette and Nica had started the very first year the gallery opened, ten years ago. Bette smiled, remembering back to that first New Year’s…the gallery had just opened, the paint barely dry on the walls…however, between both their connections in the art world and the real estate world, coupled with Bette’s exquisite taste in art, along with her unique style…the first party had been an overwhelming success. Word had spread quickly that Bette Porter’s gallery was the place to not only have your work displayed, but it was where you wanted to go first, if you were interested in buying art that would be an investment, as well as something for you to enjoy and appreciate. More than one socialite, and celebrity impressed guests at their home when asked where they had bought a particular piece, by saying they found it at Kennter Galleries. Since then, Bette’s reputation and in turn, the gallerys had grown in stature…to a point in fact where Bette actually had to have someone standing at the door, counting guests as they arrived, in order to make sure they didn’t go over their maximum capacity. Here they were ten years later, and it was not uncommon on New Year’s Eve, to have a queue outside the gallery of invited guests waiting to come in. However, none of those guests would get upset about the wait, because they knew that they had been invited because of their relationship with Bette, or Nica…whether it was business, or personal…and they also knew that Bette would never pare down her number of guests just because the list was too large, or because you weren’t in with the right circles of New York’s social society. She believed in loyalty to her customers and friends, and they in turn believed in her and Kennter Galleries. Besides, every one of those guests knew that once they were in the front door of the gallery, the party that awaited them within, was most definitely worth the wait!
