Reunion
Story written on December 11, 2012 by justkeepswimming.
"I bought you a ring for Christmas," Bette said. "When you come back in May, I’d like you to move in with me."
"Wow," Tina was otherwise speechless.
"I know it’s been only two months," Bette started. "But it’s been 20 years and two months. And I’ve never felt like this about someone before."
"Yes."
"The idea isn’t that off the wall," Bette continued. "We’ve practically lived together since we started dating; we both have busy work lives and it just makes sense."
"Bette I said yes already."
"I thought I should keep talking so you didn’t have a chance to change your mind," Bette said.
"I’m not going to change my mind," Tina leaned over to kiss her. "Is it your intention to make an announcement about moving in together at the party tomorrow?"
"Kit, your parents, our best friends…I couldn’t think of a better time," Bette said.
"Wait…when did you buy a ring?" Tina asked, and then was struck by a realization. "That’s why you didn’t want to go through customs with me. You had a ring to declare."
"I actually didn’t declare it," Bette whispered in conspiracy. "I put it on and had the case in my checked baggage."
"You took quite a chance buying jewelry in a city you won’t be returning to for two months,"
"I had confidence it was an investment that would pay off in the end," Bette said smugly.
"Do I get to see it?" Tina asked.
"It’s a Christmas present," Bette said. "There has to be some element of surprise."
"How am I going to match a ring as a gift?"
"You already surpassed it by saying you’d move in with me," Bette said. "It’s the best gift I could have hoped for."
They shared repeated kisses against the backdrop of a warmer than usual California December night.
"You’re so getting laid tonight," Tina said quietly after their lips parted.
"You keep trying to top my gift with more," Bette said. She brought one arm up to rest back over Tina’s shoulder. "But I do like the way you think. Should we settle in for the night soon?"

Just loving this story. Perfect advice to tell loved ones that they are loved while you can.
It’s the end? :(( That was a great story, I can’t believe Tina bought a ring too hahaha, also on another note, how is it possible that Bette wore the ring onboard and Tina didn’t notice? hahaha oh well, either way, this was great, thanks jks! :)
Happy wall watching everyone 🎅🎄🎁 thank you swimmie!
this is the right ending!.. thanks.
Are you kidding, the end! Oh Swimmie, no. We don’t want it to end yet. Can we get a sequel at some point, pretty please? Wonderful story, Swimmie. Loved it. Thanks for sharing.
The END…OMG??? Well, I guess it couldn’t last forever. I have to say though, you’re writing is the best. Thanks so much for this story. I loved and am hoping for an epi. Pretty please…if not, can I please request you come back with another B&T tale? :) Thanks and Merry Christmas!
A Merry Christmas to you, JKS! Loved the story, thank you. So nice to have a happy ending.
Merry/Happy _____ to all! What a sweet story — looks like you stopped before anyone bumped into any walls. Thanks so much and best wishes to you and yours for the holiday season.
Wow, that end came up too soon. Thanks for a great story! Merry Christmas to you and your family. Hope you come back with another story soon!
simply perfect
JKS, I’m not ready yet for this story to end. But I am consoled by the thought that another fine fic fom you will soon be in the offing. I hope this couple have not acted in haste. I believe that it generally takes 6 months for the masks to descend and reality to portend. Well, since 20 years after freshman year would make them 38-39 or so, I should assume they know themselves well enough to toss caution and mortgages to the wind! You could revisit them after their crash course in matrimony and let us know what developed. Two, dare I say it, spinsters might find cohabitating a challenge. Thanks. Me and my kin prefer “Merry Christmas!” to one and all …!
“I bought you a ring for Christmas,” Bette said… “Wow” is right ;)
Wonderful story
Sweet ending to a lovely tale. Thank you, jks, and Happy Christmas/Hanukkah/wall-avoidance to you! Cheers :)
The end ?Too early for me but thank you for a beautiful story.Please continue writing and happy holidays for you.

I loved how you ended the story. It really was the only way to do it. Don’t disappear too soon.
Thanks for another great chapter and a sweet ending. I like it that some stories don’t always have to have intense drama in them. This was a delightful story.
