Tina had watched Bette’s confidence grow by leaps and bounds since her move to Denver. She was a fantastic mix of the new and the old Bette characteristics that Tina had fell in love with so many years ago.

Although, saying good bye to Rachel had been hard Tina knew in her heart it was time to move on and take a chance on love again. She realized that she and Rachel’s friendship had taken a turn and it may never be the same but she knew it was the right thing to do for her, Bette, and Angie. She would always be grateful for the friendship and support that Rachel had given her but Bette was the love of her life and she hoped that someday, Rachel would be lucky enough to find hers.

The day they signed the closing deal on the house Bette had proposed marriage by presenting her with a 2 caret diamond engagement ring. She did it with her usual style and flair, yet this time it was not over the top. There was no fancy dinner or long trip planed to some far off place. She just got down on one knee in the middle of their living room the afternoon that the house officially became theirs, and proposed with all the grace and sweetness that was Bette Porter.

Three months later

Kit and Angelica were the only two guests at their small private wedding. Kit had flew in from LA the day before and stayed at the house with them. Kit had agreed to keep Angie so they could have a short three day honeymoon at a local ski resort. Although they would have liked to have gone away for an extended period of time, both their jobs would just not permit it.

Tina had not been on the job long enough to take much time off and since Bette was no longer the boss; she had no more vacation time left after using what she had saved up at Christmas to visit Tina in North Carolina.
Hopefully, by the summer they could take a family vacation maybe have Kit join them somewhere since they rarely got to spend time with her because they would not go to LA no matter how much Kit tried to convince them to come for a visit.
