    Author Notes:

    The girls discover an oasis on the beach — and Bette hears the song dedication.

    Suddenly, the energy in the room shifted and while Bette’s  stare remained on Tina she felt the singer’s gaze on her now, and that’s when T gradually followed the shift until her eyes landed on Bette.

    Everything around her seemed to drop away and the brunette felt tears prickling as she registered the emotion in her wife’s expression.  It was so completely full of love and longing, hurt, understanding, remorse, joy, sadness, affection, sorrow, desire; every feeling that sprang from her heart to her eyes leapt across the room into Bette’s soul.

    Tina got slowly to her feet as the man on the next stool reached out to steady her before pushing her lightly toward…home. 

    Bette met her in three strides and as they embraced the room jolted back to life, everyone going about their business as though the movie in which they found themselves had suddenly unpaused.  The music changed to a light uptempo beat and the room felt less dim somehow but just as loud and crowded as before.

    They stood for several long minutes then Bette took Tina’s hand and led her out the back door.

    Her attention moved away from me as she sang and it suddenly felt like time slowed down.  I followed her gaze until I saw you there bathed in light but surrounded by darkness.  There was no one else in the room.  It was so strange the way you seemed to be standing under a spotlight.  I’ve never seen your eyes flash so many feelings at once and it was like a hand was squeezing my heart.  I couldn’t breathe looking at you.  I saw the fear and love and guilt and pain — and most of all, the relief.  You looked so relieved above everything else.  I couldn’t get to you fast enough and I thought jumping off the stool that I might just swoon. (Laughter) Of course, I’d been drinking!  But still, Bette, you took my breath away.  You have always done that to me.  I saw the tears in your eyes and felt my own welling as I stepped into your embrace.  Home.  In your arms I was home.  I knew I’d been wrong to leave you.  And I hadn’t deflected Melania’s advances as emphatically as I should have.  But that was more temper than a desire to flirt.  My temper is my downfall and I know it.

    2. I can’t wait. Seriously. It’s gonna be good the next one right LOL. Please let Bette make up for it. Big time. LOL. I have a feeling neither one of them is gonna be able to walk in the morning. PPS. I’m begging you.

    3. So happy Bette took the high road in the bar and didn’t cause a scene. Relief was chief among the emotions she felt and I’m glad that over rode everything else. Tina is cute when she’s had a few too many and really in need of her wife. Loved the chapter. Thanks for posting.

    5. How great to have another chapter, Nell – thank you! And such a sweet one. Last time a number of comments said how you could visualise this scene as if it was a movie, which you can, but this chapter demonstrates the superiority of the written word. The repetition of the dedication and the description of their friends fearful anticipation of Bette’s reaction is much funnier. I also loved Bette’s accurate reading of Tina’s reaction to the song. And, as everyone has said, drunk Tina is cute! I trust Bette is taking her somewhere unsandy and you will “TBC” soon!!

    6. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your words make it seems as if you are there watching the moments unfold and you can almost feel them. B E A U T I F U L. I think I’m in love with your writing, no, I know I am in love with your writing. I wish updates were more often but each one is worth the wait.

    7. Melania couldn’t have chosen better songs to cheer up the charming Ms T. (As an aside: I admire Natalie Merchant’s work with 10,000 Maniacs and the distinct, profound songs they’ve created.) I’m glad Bette proved my guess wrong that she’s go ballistic again if she sees the singer flirting with her wife. It’s refreshing to see a character do the exact opposite of what she/he is wont to do or is expected to do most of the time. I love the “avalanche of visceral responses” the sight of Tina provoked in Bette and the myriad of emotions that Tina saw in Bette’s eyes. When Bette was staring at Tina and feeling the stirrings of falling in love all over again, the moment their eyes met and they finally embraced were simply beautiful. I bet the make-up scene will be lava hot, nothing less than scorching. Thanks a bunch for this superb post, Nell. I hope your Muse will never cease to inspire you to write and share your writing with us. Cheers and hugs. =)

    12. Wow, it’s been 2 months since your last post, Nell. Are you okay? Hope you’re just busy and preoccupied. I just stopped by to tell you I miss your posts and that I love this story to pieces. Have a lovely day and a lovely week, Nell! Cheers! =)

    13. Hey Everybody!I’m here and I WILL be back! I appreciate your comments and PM’s so much… I’ve just been very, very busy with life and work. I do miss you all and am hoping to get some chapters finished in the first week of June, if not before. I hope you are well and I look forward to being back soon!Regards,~Nell

    18. Omg… So cheesy…!! :-D “The woman you love loves you in spite of your stupidity…” glad to read your story again!! :-) and cute drunk Tina!! :-D hahah… Can picture LH on that scene easily ;-)

    19. Each one of your words brings a picture in my head….it’s like the movies! You write very well and your story is very unusual! Thanks. PPS if your schedule allows it! :0)

    20. Thanks for the update. I love this story. The way you described what they were thinking as they saw each other in the bar was beautiful. Their personalities complement each other perfectly. And drunk Tina is just adorable. :)
