They effortlessly performed their morning routines, while still enjoying the odd kiss, hug and smile. It all seemed so natural, so right. It wasn’t long before they both were seated at the kitchen table drinking their coffee and sharing the only food they could find that was edible in Bette’s kitchen – a piece of dry toast and a bowl of cereal.
Tina smiled at Bette.
“So Babe, do you think we’re ready for today?”
Bette gave Tina a very serious look.
“Well Tina, I have to admit things have changed quite a bit since the last time we were at the Gallery, but I’m trying to look at it this way.”
Tina returned Bette’s serious expression and waited with concern for Bette to continue.
“I seriously don’t think I would make it through the day if we weren’t going to be together today. So I think I’ll count myself lucky.”
Bette finished, smiled at Tina, leaned forward and gave Tina a very long tender kiss. Tina sighed and whispered.
“We should leave right now or I won’t promise that I will let you leave.”
Bette laughed, stood up and extended her hand.
“Come, my love reality awaits us.”
Tina nearly melted at the words. She accepted the hand, stood on shaky legs and followed Bette to the door. They agreed that Tina would stop and get coffee so they would be sure to arrive separately and start the day as normally as possible. Bette walked Tina to her car, pulled her in for a final hug and placed a very deep kiss on her lips. As they reluctantly ended the kiss Bette leaned in and whispered in Tina’s ear.
“T, thank you, thank you, thank you….”
They pulled each other into one last tight embrace before they got in their cars to start the day.

Once at work Tina and Bette hit the ground running. Tina and James had to check and recheck the inventory, organize and compose all of the thank yous, letters, marketing information and media information from the show. Bette had meetings with her accountants, her lawyer and someone from the CAC about the upcoming fundraiser.
Just before lunch Tina received a beautiful array of spring flowers that made her blush a deep crimson when James teased her.

Excellent storytelling. I love that Tina is very competent and has ability. In the show, she sometimes was portrayed as incompetent and weak by IC.
Thanks for the update. I’m so glad these two are finally together and acknowledging how they both feel for each other. I’m sure James won’t have a problem with them being a couple. I hope nobody else gives them a hard time.
Ahh, Bette used the right L word this time. Very sweet chapter, D&A, thanks. :)
Loved it!!!! I guess Bette had Tina for lunch!!! Thank you PPS
what a nice chapter, and a great ending!!!
Wow, Bette has worked out the legal issues of their partnership. I also think that James is going to cool about it. He likes and really needs Tina to continue to help with the work load.
Great chapter. wow and that ‘extra’ work place activity was something else. :) Bette went a bit wild there didn’t she :)
Fantastic and emotional for Bette and Tina. I just hope all go well as Tina still has to divorce and tell Ellie. I love the way they are moving towards each other. PPVS
Very touching. PPS!!
I love this B&T, strong but gentle. They deserve this passion between them. Tina, in a loveless marriage and Bette trying to find the person who can be her equal and not like Bette bully her. Great update.
Fantastic update. Love it. Thank you :)
loving it! thx for the shoutout, i’m honored.
