The Flower Effect – Chapter 3
Chapter 3
It was now nearing the lunch hour and Bette was sitting in her office at CU……surely Tina would have received the flowers by now. Bette was starting to panic a little. She had not yet heard from Tina. Maybe she had not relayed her message as clear as she had hoped. Maybe it was too much too soon, all these crazy ideas and theories started to flood her mind.
She leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes, allowing her mind to drift back to a time and place many years ago. It was a time when things were good between her and Tina. Before the talk of having a baby. Before their relationship had crumbled so far there appeared to be no return. Before her colossal mistake, that for a long time, appeared to have cost her everything that had ever mattered….it had cost her…..a life with Tina.
Time: A day about two years into their relationship…..
The day had started like any other ordinary day. Bette had been awake first, and as she watched Tina lying beside her still asleep, she had to softly smile. Slowly she rolled over and turned towards Tina so she could reach over and brush the hair from Tina’s eyes and tuck it behind her left ear. She watched in awe at the beauty sleeping motionless beside her. The only visible movement being her chest rising and falling slowing as she took in each breath and then slowly exhaled.
This was the woman who had changed everything in Bette’s life for the better. The one, who seemed to reach in deep to her soul, to a place where she did not usually allow anyone. Tina saw through everything and still accepted her. Never in her wildest dreams had Bette Porter thought she would have someone so special in her life. Tina was kind, she was gentle, but there was a quiet confidence about her, that Bette had found in so few of the women she had dated. Tina didn’t need to be loud or flashy, that quiet confidence was just there, and the only word Bette had been able to come up with was “elegant” when describing her partner. Even though she appeared shy and reserved, Tina could command a room, just by walking into it. Every head in the room would turn in her direction.
