    Author Notes:

    Echo Park…revelations and questions.
    Nothing is what it seems…

    Bette: They’re lotus plants and one of the main attractions
    here during the summer months. Every
    year they hold a two day Lotus Festival to celebrate the Asian cultural
    influence here in Southern California.
    It always coincides with the mass blooming of the flowers. It’s quite a spectacle to watch. It’s the national flower of India
    as well as an important natural aspect of Asian culture. The Chinese say that the lotus represents
    perfection and purity. The Indians
    believe it to be symbolic of female fertility.

    Tina turns and smiles
    up at Bette.

    Tina: It seems the history part of your degree paid off

    Bette: Many prominent works of art have featured the lotus
    and it was the subject of many discussions in my Asian art history class.
    (pauses) Everything has the potential to
    be beautiful. The flowers were one of the first sketches I made here at the
    park. Most people draw the statues or
    the fountain, but I was drawn right to the flowers.

    Bette gently reaches
    over and removes Tina’s sunglasses. She
    just looks at her for a long moment, smiling at the picture Tina makes backlit
    by the sun.

    Bette: You’re beautiful. (Tina blushes and looks away) I’m sorry.

    Tina: (curious)
    That you said it?

    Bette: No I meant what I said. I’m just sorry that me saying it makes you
    feel uncomfortable.

    Tina: (sighs) No,
    I’m the one that’s sorry. This is all new to me. I’m just not used to another
    woman calling me that.

    Bette: Well it’s true.

    Tina: Thank you, Bette(pauses) Can I ask you something?

    Bette: Sure.

    Tina: (tentatively) About that kiss

    Bette: Famous last words

    Tina: (smiles) Did
    you plan on kissing me when I came back for the earrings?

    Bette: I’ve honestly asked myself that a hundred times. The
    truth is that I don’t know. I’ve never done that before.made a move on someone
    who was in a relationship. I have strong
    beliefs about commitment. But there was
    just something about youabout the way you looked at me when we first met. I felt something. I know how clichd that sounds and

    4. tibette—glad to see you back. I have missed this story. Don’t let S3 get you too down. I am supporting the show and I think I am actually coming to terms with B & T. I still have hope that they will find each other again…and I always have authors like you…who will make us happy in the end. please post soon.

    6. You’ve returned! Thanks for continuing the story, even if you were nudged into doing so. This chapter was definitely worth it. I do hope we won’t have to wait another couple of months before the next post. :-)

    7. Don’t get discouraged by season 3 at this point there is nothing we can do to change it but you have a story you want to write continue on in the direction you intended and give us readers something to look forward too!!!!

    11. yay im glad you are back!. Nice chapter..maybe Tina’s dream was a way to get her attention to Bette…she soo needs T right now. I hope she tells T about her illness because although the girls will be there for her..who she really wants by her side is Tina ;) Post soon!.

    12. So glad you posted really missed this story. Tina’s dream was so loving and full of promise, and to “wake up” realizing it was only a dream…UGHH. Tina needs to talk to Bette. She needs to tell her about the baby. Don’t get discouraged about S3, who knows where all this drama is going to lead. Please update soon and thanks for the story.
