Reunion
Story written on November 15, 2012 by justkeepswimming.
"It’s not far, you’ll know soon enough."
"I know we just passed the convention center…coming up is the stadium and the tower…" Tina started listing the geographic features of the direction they were heading. "But I know we’re not going there."
"Actually we are," Bette said. "They’re open until 10:30 tonight."
"The CN tower?" Tina was incredulous. "Are you serious?"
The CN tower held the record as the world’s highest observation deck, until it was surpassed in 2008 by a structure in Shanghai. Regardless, it was still impressively tall, and distinguished the skyline of the city.
"I already have tickets to the top," Bette replied.
"Is this immersion therapy for you?"
"I wanted to give you an indication of what fear of heights feels like," Bette offered. "But in a totally safe environment. Have you been to the top?"
They walked up the sidewalk approaching the tower entrance.
"No, not yet," Tina replied.
"Then let’s do it," Bette held the door open for Tina to walk inside the base of the tower.
***********
"I honestly didn’t realize it was a glass elevator," Bette said once they disembarked. "My heart rate is a bit high."
"Me too, it’s kind of a rush," Tina replied. She entwined her fingers with Bette’s again. "You’re good though?"
"Yeah, I am," Bette seemed thoroughly surprised that she was fine. A degree of excitement, but no vertigo. "Let’s go walk on the glass floor."
"Have you been magically cured?" Tina laughed.
"I have been working on it," Bette reminded her. "I hadn’t really tested myself yet though…"
Bette stood at the edge of the glass floor, but had to look away.
"I think I found my limit," she said. "I can’t do it."
Tina let go of Bette’s hand and took a tentative step onto one of the two and a half inch thick glass panels. She did feel dizzy. It was like walking in air. She felt the sensation of her heart beating in her chest as she looked down to the ground so far below.
She reached out towards Bette with one hand.
"It’s incredible…come here," Tina encouraged.
Bette took a step forward and held Tina’s hand again, still reticent to make that final commitment.
"It’s a tourist attraction, Bette, it’s fine," Tina assured her.
Bette took the last step and found herself looking through the glass floor of the tower as well. No vertigo. But quite the sensation otherwise and elsewhere.
"Do you want to head back up to my place?" Bette grinned as the question was posed. "I have another idea for mimicking the rush I’m feeling right now."
They were soon on their way to Bette’s for the conclusion of what had been an eventful evening.

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! =)
