"What we saw of the exhibit was amazing," Tina enthused, shifting the topic of conversation. "I really appreciated experiencing it without a crowd of people."
"We can see more later in the week if you’d like," Bette said. "It’s too much to take in all at once, especially at the end of an already long day. And it is nice to be here when the gallery is closed to the general public."
"I’m lucky to have run into you," Tina said. The pretense of incidental touching had vanished; their fingers had become entwined while they continued to talk.
"Who could have predicted that sharing notes in first year would have lead to our meeting again this much later?" Bette asked. "Which brings up a question – why in the world did you take art history if you were majoring in physics?"
"An elective, entirely for interest," Tina replied. "And besides, the guys in physics were impossible to talk to."
"I’ve got an update for you…getting the women in physics to talk was no easy task either," Bette smiled.
"I talked to you," Tina defended. "I even tried to flirt with you."
"Ah yes, but at 18, I hadn’t come to the realization that I was gay," Bette said. "To me you just seemed awkward."
"No wonder I was always dateless," Tina sighed. "I didn’t want to date the guys who wanted to date me and none of the women I wanted to date were interested."
"Well, you’re not dateless this evening," Bette said. She brought Tina’s hand up and placed a light kiss on the back. "I made a reservation for dinner at the gallery restaurant – easy enough for me to cancel if you have other plans."
"I was going to grab a bite on my way back to the office," Tina said. "A real sit-down meal would be welcome."
"Do you have to go back to work tonight?" Bette asked.
"I don’t have to, but there’s always something to do when you’re trying to qualify for tenure," Tina replied.
"I’d like to think I can convince you to take the rest of the night off," Bette suggested, rising from her position against the desk as their hands disengaged. "Maybe our dinner will last long enough that going back to your office won’t seem worthwhile."

Awesome chapter, jks!
So sweet and cute, love them. Please post more, thanks!
Just got caught up on this lovely tale. Hmmm, Tina as a physicist trying out her bold side, I like it. Plus she’s got to have some glasses she wears when she works that drive Bette wild. Bette in a power suit always does nicely, but she needs to wear something sleeveless – those arms… : )
I love the way you are moving this along. Thanks for the post.
Hell yeah swimmie!!! I absolutely love this post. Everything from the pace of the story to the pace of the tour. I love the “short on time” philosophy they’ve both adopted. I’m using my computer this evening so no emoicon >-@> that’s the best I can do. It’s looks like a partially eaten fish. Oh well. Thanks swimmie!!!!!
No time to waste is right. Moving along nicely. If you’re going to have Tina wear glasses can they be tortoise because…well just because…you know what I mean?
This is a lovely story. Two adults finding each other after 20 years and it feels as if it was just a few days ago. Beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing Swimmie. Where do you live Swimmie, I thought you were in NY or somewhere in the NE.
as the saying goes..love is lovelier the,second time around..that was true to them. ..thou that was flirting before. .. :P
Perfect – love this story. Thank you.
Great job, thanks
Thank you for the lovely update. I love that they are just being themselves. Time is short so why waste it. Sweet story!
Very stimulating dialogue -the one about art and physics! This is the beginning of a beautiful..friendship, a two month fling, or more? Can’t wait to find out.
Very well done. Thanks for the post. :)
Just exhilarating. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
Loving this story.
your Bette and Tina are always so entertaining and real. Love this story
Love it. Thank you
I love your writing style.Thank you for another great update.
As I read this story, I am transported to your Bette and Tina world. Their world is so enchanting, I don’t want to leave them and come back. Thanks for posting!
It’s good to see an uptick in Tina’s confidence. I guess they both want to make up for lost time and also make the most out of their limited time together there. Can’t wait to see how their affection and attraction for each other grow. Thanks a lot for this treat, jks! =) And I’m praying for an Obama win. A lot is riding on this election not only for the deeply divided Americans but also for the rest of the world.
