Bette moved away from the doorway to push further into the space.
"Good morning sweetheart," she said softly.
Without startling her, the greeting made Tina turn around. She took a look at the woman who had appeared behind her, her once lively hazel eyes still tinged with confusion and curiosity.
Bette stood in front of her, undeterred by the fact that Tina very obviously did not recognise her. She lifted her hand and gently ran the back of her fingers down a pale cheek. She looked so fragile now, her blonde hair replaced by even finer long silver strands. Her skin was so fine that anything stronger than a soft caress felt like it would tear it, but she was still as beautiful as when Bette first met her.
"You are up early.." Bette continued smiling brightly.
Tina remained quiet assessing the familiar face. Her eyes remained focused on the taller woman. The weight of the years had now hunched the once proud shoulders but that smile had remained as memorising as it ever was.
It wasn’t often and particularly of late it happened even more and more rarely, but the illness sometimes chose to give them a reprieve.
It was like a switch had been thrown, lighting up those hazel orbs. Tina was suddenly back, here, in the now.
Bette knew it could happened and noticed it straight away. She didn’t allow any elation to take her over as she was never certain how long she would have her love back.
"Hi," she said simply letting a small laugh escape her lips at seeing recognition light up Tina’s eyes.
"Bette…" Tina whispered, tears filling up her now vivid expressive eyes.
"Shhhhh… don’t cry," Bette urged in a whisper as she pressed her lips to Tina’s forehead. "Birthday girls never get to cry on their special day"
Tina laughed and sniffled all at the same time, "It is my birthday? How could I forget that?" she asked innocently.
"Because it is not for you to remember, but for the ones around you who love you the most," Bette explained simply, producing a little box tied with a multicoloured ribbon and a silver decoration which read "83".

Nice job…really great stories!
How strange is it that I found myself thinking about you these past few days K. Hmmm what does one say, I think I became saddened at 83, not for it was badly written, but for the turmoil my heart endured. If had me thinking these feeble thoughts. Had me choked up for a little while as my mind went into over drive. Such love yet knowing sometimes you were a complete stranger to the woman you have always loved. I will admit I was scared comparing it to the reality life brings. i always say your stories are amazing, which as a matter of fact they’re, but I found myself lost within that part. Although sad, I continued to read and 3 made up up for the fear that came to light. I will message you. Thanks again for my heartache and freedom to admit my thoughts. C x
Just in case you need more numbers mine would be; 24.
I wish I had your (and a long list of others) talent for story telling. I use crayons while you use brush strokes. Absolutely beautiful K, I wasn’t aware of the number lotto or I would’ve participated as well. Oh well, I loved every “digit” of this story. Thank you 😘
Fabulous! Story 83 was tender, poignant and a sad reality. The vast majority of TiBette stories show them in their 20s-40s not in their elder years. They are still beautiful together. Brava!
Kins!!! :-)) so happy to see you back! You made my morning! Thanks!! :o)x your writing almost ALWAYS bring sweet tender moment to my heart… Some like the 83… Sweet tender yet sad :-/ it’s real life issues and it kinda remind me that your writing is part of FF! :-p lol.. And I thought you asked number for lotto :-D anyway.. Thanks for sharing another great story. Will keep looking forward to your next update ;-) enjoy the day! ^^,
Beautifully written. I got a little teary at 83, but no. 3 made up for it. If it’s not too late, I’ll throw in no. 17.
My day is complete..you’re back! Wow such incredible stories..thanks so much!!
That was absolutely wonderful. Loved it all. Excellent writing have missed your story telling. Thank you again.
Very cool way of putting a couple of shorts stories together! Ingenious really!!
I’m out of words to say… it was *sigh* deliciously beautiful… and I gotta say reading stories like this made me think about things…
That was great and sad and tear at number 83 but number 3 made it better. That was beautiful and thanks for sharing this with us!
Thank you Kins for using my number in your first set of stories. “5” made me tingle, “83” made me teary eyed and “3” was just HOT! I remember well the day I needed glasses, but I didn’t get the response Bette did. Lol! Well done and thanks.
Fantastic, as always. Sweet and touching. Thank you.
I’m not done reading.I’m in the beginning of the third part But I have to post this.. Cuz, really taken me aback to your.. “83” Specially when Bette said these… “Because it is not for you to remember, but for the ones around you who love you the most,” Bette explained simply, producing a little box tied with a multicoloured ribbon and a silver decoration which read “83”.”Happy Birthday, Darling.”..Bravo Kins, Bravo!going to read again.
Me like the glasses too…[Drooling]..Hey forgot to add mine..13..
Welcome back Kins :D I always got overwhelmed by Tibette getting old together it always brings tears to my eyes I don’t know why!!! but these installments r very wonderfully written, and the last one is really funny ;D thank u for sharing ur talent with us.
Just wonderful, yes 83 really had me thinking. just magical
You are an amazing writer.Great stories.Thank you.PPS
Kins, what can I say. I am so honored that you chose my number to begin this new project of yours. Sight, sound, touch, taste and smell are a major part of every relationship. Sometimes I think we forget how lucky we are to experience these wonderful sensations. 83 had me in tears. Just the thought that you could be with someone so long and one day they won’t remember you and the past you’ve shared is heartbreaking. You wrote it beautifully though. As for 3, well I have to laugh at that one. Simply because Tina’s reaction to Bette wearing glasses is how I react when my partner wears hers! So hot!!! Anyway, this was a perfect trio! Sensuous, Heartfelt, and Witty. I love your writing and can hardly wait for your next installment.
Aww kins, glad you’re back… 83 was really lovely especially how gentle bette was. I work with the elderly and i have totally embraced a little 97 year old lady who feels like a surrogate grandmother…i have learned so much seeing life through her eyes so this was story was special to me
So happy to see you are back. Nobody can write stories the way you can that leaves me happy, sad, teary eyed, choked up and emotional. You have such a wonderful way with words!
wonderfull update i like it thank you morrreeeee please!!!!
Oh kins you know I’m your biggest fan I will read absolutely anything you write, 83 reminded me of the Notebook heh, but you brought it home with 3, she only has a correction of 3? That’s nothing! I have one of 9! Haha that made me feel better about wearing glasses. I bet Bette would be even more sexy with glasses. Keep them coming girl
