After another half an hour of driving, they finally reached their destination.

Tina Kennard was in her porch just sitting enjoying the morning breeze. She had lived all her 69 years in Marion. She was looking forward to this annual gathering as it was not only Christmas but also her 70th birthday. She was more excited because she will see her favorite granddaughter again in just a few minutes; she heard some commotion inside the house because her daughter Monica, Michelle’s mom, and her helpers were busy cooking food.
As her head and back were comfortably resting on the rocking chair while looking at her beautiful garden her mind traveled to what happened the previous day. She met an unusual yet friendly woman at the park. Once in a while she would drive to the park which was a few miles away from her home to feed the birds, she would just sit on an empty bench and feed them. She found solace in doing that, not that she was unhappy with her life. She actually thought that she had lived a full life; her husband who died 8 years ago, God bless his soul, was a good man and gave Tina four beautiful children.
Her life was simple and happy but sometimes a distant memory of her youth would occasionally come to the surface. It was a moment that she would never ever forget. As she was sitting on the bench feeding the birds a certain event in her life visited her.

Tina just turned 18 then and her father Gerard who was the town sheriff threw a big party. She didn’t like big parties but her father insisted, for his only daughter and youngest child it was only fitting to have a grand celebration. Many people came, familiar and unfamiliar faces and it was really a big deal for Gerard Kennard, the more people would come the better. Her father had also invited his longtime friend and his daughter from Philly. She couldn’t remember their last name when her father introduced them to her, what she only remembered was the girl’s name Elizabeth.
In fact as she thought of her now she realized she was not just a girl but a beautiful woman who was about 3 years older than her. Tina had many suitors but they didn’t interest her and for some odd reason she was never interested in boys and it was that very first instant that Tina became enchanted by someone in her whole life and not just by anyone but… a woman. When they shook hands Elizabeth’s hand was so soft that she never wanted it to let go and when the blonde saw her smile she thought it was the prettiest smile that she had ever seen.

Hi ladies! I know this is late but still I want to greet you all Belated Merry Christmas! I know some of you are waiting for a new chapter of Lover in the Dark, but forgive me I’ve been busy due to the holidays and can’t bring myself to write a new chapter. Please don’t think that I’ve forgotten you all so Instead I would like to repost an old Christmas story that I wrote 3 years ago and I guess not everyone was able to read it the first time so I want to post it again if that’s alright(; I was also inspired by my awesome fellow TiBette fan fiction writers and friends tibettenation1, Pie_Fair and robynTibetter so I thought why not add entertainment to all of you amazing ladies who haven’t read this (; BTW This is a 3- part short story and I also did little revisions and corrections as you know English is not my native language so I hope you enjoy even for the second time around and if you still see some mistakes just kindly disregard it (;
By the way just want to say the amazing and talented Pie_Fair has made me a sexy and i mean a sexy cover for Lover in the Dark and will show that once the new chapter is complete so please watch out for that.
Of course I remember this story, as the song says, it is unforgettable!
I loved it the first time I read it. Why wouldn’t I? A magical story of a 70 year old Tina with a beautiful young Bette and intertwined with the wonderful ‘Unforgettable’ song that I remember so well from my late teenage years. I loved reading it even more this Second Time Around, Thank You.
A belated Happy Christmas, phacey and a wish for a Healthy and Peaceful New year. I look forward to the next Chapter of Lover in the Dark not only for your storytelling but, now, for Pie’s sexy cover art!

I do remember this story – but the ending was a little different – no? ! Hmmmm still great after all these years! ty
Hey hey! Thanks for the shoutout!
Really like the reminisce!
I totally understand, we all have other things to do in life so it’s difficult to keep posting on a regular basis. But don’t worry my friend, we’re patient…although we might not seem to be but we are.
Have a happy holiday and keep up the amazing work!
That was awesome and a little change there and is good to read this story again, love it, thanks my friend and Merry Christmas to you!
Beautiful story the second time reading it! I went back and read all your work this summer. When you have the time and energy to finish Lover in the Dark – we will be waiting patiently…well maybe not too patient! Thank you, my friend!
Ditto with mamadoc this story is truly amazing and totally captures my imagination. Thanks for sharing this again sweetie and will be anxiously waiting for new chapter of Lover. Happy holidays my dearest friend!
I’ve read it before but is as good if not better now. Thank you, you are a wonderful writer. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for this gift.
Merry Christmas !!
You are fantastic.
10 Stars.
Phacey it was really a good idea reposting this story. I enjoyed rereading it as much as I enjoyed reading it for the first time. But I like this better… with a quite different ending.
It’s a wonderful magical story. It makes me think that if I have a funny Fairy God Mother like Alice and if she would ask me, “If you will be given a chance to change something in your past will you do it?” then maybe I will consider it… changing something in my past.
By the way, Bette’s bestfriend Michelle, I like her name… it reminds me of a very good friend… someone sooooo dear to me.
Thanks a lot and please keep writing!
Great Story!!!!!!!!
