"Well yeah…look at the next one, the crossword creator definitely had marriage on the brain…"
"Place of worship that is smaller than a church." Tina continued with the next clue. "Chapel."
"I don’t know Tina, You may be a bit hasty in your judgement…I don’t think what comes next has anything to do with weddings.." Bette tried to steer the conversation away from the subject.
"Well defined, natural elevation smaller than a mountain…. that would be a hill!" Tina read and solved.
"See?… and look the two clues even make up your hometown!" Bette managed, "Chapel Hill."
"Alright then, I’ll give you that!" Tina conceded, "Short for Elizabeth…. ooh that’s tricky …. there are so many!"
"Well there is already a ‘T’ and the second letter is an ‘E’" Bette offered.
"Okay… so that would make it ‘Betty’ or ‘Bette’ … what do you think?"
"I think ‘Bette’ is a safe bet."
"Haha … you’re funny.. I’ll put that down … after all it is not that often that we find your name in crossword puzzles…." Tina joked turning her attention back to the grid. "Three more clues!"
"Short for Christina," Tina huffed, "Really? is that all they can come up with?"
"Stop complaining," Bette murmured nuzzling her girlfriend’s ear, "So what’s the answer?"
"Well, given that there is an ‘i’, an ‘N’ and an ‘A’ and that the clue is four letters….I’d say… ‘Tina’ !" Tina concluded.
The blonde turned her head and looked for approbation from Bette. She was met with a kiss from the gallery owner.
Tina smiled and leaned in to deepen the kiss but Bette pulled back quickly.
"What’s wrong?" Tina asked, "You don’t want to kiss me?"
"Oh I do, sweetie," Bette reassured her girlfriend, "Not just now…. let’s just finish the puzzle.."
Shaking her head in disbelief, Tina turned her attention back to the newspaper, not before glancing back one more time to make sure the woman behind her was alright.
"United States’ Ambassador to the European Union." Tina read next.
She gave her pencil another good chew. This clue, unlike the other was a little more difficult. International affairs were not her forte.
She felt a warm mouth envelope her earlobe and bite lightly before Bette’s words caressed her ear. "Kennard."
"What?" Tina asked, needing the answer repeated as Bette’s little stunt had distracted her briefly.
"The answer to the clue is…. Kennard!" Bette reiterated.
Without questioning Bette’s very political mind and knowledge, Tina placed the letters on the grid and took a look at the strange assortment of words. She could have sworn the crossword was all about her and Bette.
She banished the thought out of her mind as utterly ridiculous and continued with the last clue.
"52 across," she announced, "Words with a certain ring to them."
She studied the long line of empty squares and the few sparse letters it already contained, for a couple of seconds.
Bette shifted slightly behind her and the brunette’s arm grew perceptibly tighter around her waist.
"Will you marry me… yes… that’s it the answer is…. will you marry me." Tina suggested and then confirmed putting the newspaper and pencil down " All done….. that crossword puzzle was very strange."
Bette was silent.
Tina continued her babbling, "Your name was in it, my name… and if you look carefully the last three clues actually say…. Tina Kennard, Will you marry …..me?" the last word as it was uttered was almost whisper like.
She took the newspaper back in her hand to stare at the grid, before her head whipped around so she could look at her girlfriend.
The brunette was chewing her bottom lip. Their eyes met and Bette asked tentatively.
"Well, Tina Kennard?" she started, "Will you….. marry me?"
