She picks up a black tank top drying in the sun and pulls it to her face. She inhales deeply. Bette’s haunting scent invades her senses and tears of loss and love fill her eyes. She lays it back down with great care. She sees a stack of drawing pads under a large rock. She fights the temptation to look through them. Instead she decides to go for a swim. The cool water should help wash away the tiredness of her long journey. She wants to feel her best when she faces Bette because once her soon to be on again girlfriend recovers from the initial shock, she’ll have a lot of explaining and tons of groveling to do.
Bette collects the last of the firewood she had been chopping from a dead tree. She adds them to the pile over a makeshift carrier and ties everything together before heaving it onto her back. She steps onto the familiar path and makes her way back to camp. The wood is heavy but she’s finally feeling lighter as the magic of the island is helping heal her broken heart. The thick brush and tall trees sway in a gentle breeze. She takes a deep breath, inhaling the salty air mixing with the tropical plants. It’s a scent that relaxes her, that makes her feel safe and at peace. Her heart has been somewhat released from its torturous shackles and constant bashing. Who is she kidding? She frowns and kicks the dirt as she thinks of Tina again. Her stay on the island has been a mixed blessing. She has had time to reconnect with nature and once again be humbled by her magnanimous beauty. On the other hand, her feelings for the blonde have changed from hurt and anger to grief and loneliness. She misses her so much and longs to look into her ever-changing eyes once again. But she can never return. It would be too painful. It would be the death of her. And Tina isn’t the golden-hearted person she thought she was. It breaks her heart all over again. She knows with every fiber of her being she will never love anyone that deeply or that profoundly, or that dangerously again.
She arrives at her camp and drops the bundle of wood next to her homemade fire pit. Her stomach growls and it causes her to smile. Her appetite has returned and she is thankful. It’s one step closer to recovery. She looks around and sees a giant florescent pink backpack sitting next to her tent. Her eyes scan quickly but she doesn’t see anyone. She takes off her hat and scratches her head. Everything looks to be in place. Maybe it’s Phyllis or Joyce coming back to convince her to go to New York with them now instead of later. She frowns in deviance. She’s not quite ready to face civilization again.

Hi! Thanks for the another chapter!
Am i earlier say i like your humour? If not – i’m say it right now.
““Fuck!”
“You want to?”
“Tina!” Bette scolds.
It was just hilarious.
Many thanks for continuing this wonderful story. I think there’s good humor in it as well. Great work!
I love this story, so glad you came back and continue with it.
I loved this:

So, i have i another question – who is Stephanie? Is it surfing girl?
hi there,
yes, Stephanie is the surfer girl that Tina thought bette was having an affair with.
Thanks for reading.
Loved it. Thanks
Enjoying the story very much. Bette knows she wants Tina as badly as Tina wants her. She also knows she is going to give in and listen to what Tina wants to say to her. Can’t blame her for being stubborn but she needs to make Tina grovel a bit, Tina was very wrong to jump to conclusions and listening to helen is always a problem. Hopefully she has learned her lesson with helena. Oh please let Bette tear her a new one when they go back to New York, if and when they do. Meanwhile lots of loving to make up for all the problems. Thanks for posting.
