"That’s a good thing," Bette said. "I wouldn’t want to be 18 again…"
"Me either," Tina agreed earnestly. "But I’m certainly grateful for that time in my life – it’s when I met you."
"Imagine what might have been different if we’d both had just a little more nerve," Bette said. "What if I’d actually responded to your double entendres by kissing you?"
"I’d still be trying to finish my bachelor’s degree," Tina said. "I would have been hopelessly distracted."
"Is that what I am? A time limited distraction?"
"You know Bette, for a confident person, you really need a lot of ego stroking," Tina replied. "Let me assure you, you’re much more than a distraction."
"We’ll see how much more tonight?" Bette asked.
"We will indeed."

They were greeted as soon as they approached the hostess counter at the restaurant.
"Ms. Porter, nice to see you again. Dr. Kennard, always a pleasure to have you dine with us," she said. "Your table is ready if you’d like to follow me."
Tina was confused – she was sure Bette said she’d never been there before. Canoe was one of the best restaurants in Toronto, situated on the 54th floor of the Toronto Dominion bank tower. It featured a stunning view of the city to the East, and Lake Ontario to the South.
They were lead to a table by the window overlooking the lake.
"It’s okay, Tina," Bette said quietly, sensing Tina was about to correct their seating location. "I requested it."
"Are you sure?" Tina replied.
"It’s fine," Bette nodded.
The hostess seated them and left them with a wine list and menus to peruse.
"What do you mean you requested it?" Tina asked.
"I came down this afternoon toward the end of their lunch service to make sure the view wouldn’t give me a panic attack," Bette explained. "I spoke with the woman who seated us, and she mentioned they had a window view come up due to a cancellation. So I graciously accepted on your behalf."
"You didn’t have to do that," Tina said. "I want you to enjoy the evening too."

🐠 Thanks swimmie! Loved everything.

They are so cute and sweet, love them!
I love this story…they’re so sweet and i feel a bit of a voyeur exploring the city with them. Pps
Things are certainly progressing nicely. Thanks for the post, jks. :)
I always knew that Tina’s “come here” had a magical power.
Another excellent update. Thankyou
Swimmie, so Bette’s in Toronto for only seven more weekends. Does that mean seven more chapters? Since they were doing the tasting menu did Tina order Fission chips? *palm face* How about that tattoo I suggested a little E=MC2, never hurt anyone, I mean…it’s relative…to the story…Great update.
Spectacular dialogue as always…diggin this story! Thanks!
Such a great story, thanks.
omigoodness! Bette may have not been experiencing any symptoms of acrophobia in the tower, but I was feeling quite light-headed and nauseous! LOL Oh, the power of the well-written word! Thanks, Swim! Been silent, but enjoying.
Again-I love your stories.Thank you for the update,nice.PPS
Thank you for the update. Lovely story… all things happen when its the proper time. Guess it must be that time, 20 years later.You write about their time together so well. Most excellent!
Thanks JKS for sweet amazing chapter! Those “come here” is working on its magic already, I think! ;-) your story makes me wonder about the 20 years they spent apart.. Somehow I feel sad of so much time being wasted, but if that’s what it takes.. Well, what can we say?! Anyway… PPVS! Enjoy the chapter so much!! Thanks for sharing!! :-)
=) Can’t help but smile at how the ladies have been getting closer and closer. I love their conversations punctuated by kisses (or is it the other way around?) whenever they’re together. It’s been a treat watching their mutual attraction blossom in the last four chapters. Thanks a lot for this lovely story, jks! Reading this is a good tonic after watching the heart-rending episode 4 of “The walking Dead”. Anyway, can’t wait to read about their next interaction. Cheers! =)
