    Author Notes:

    Crying and Smiling

    It felt so right.  Lingering far longer than needed, I randomly touched our belongings and drank in that thought. 

    Taking my robe and hanging it on the hook next to hers, I couldn’t stop smiling.  My hand reached to bring hers near and breathed her scent.  Sighing contentedly, I turned to cross the hallway to the bedroom knowing there was a considerable unpacking effort waiting. 

    The boxes filled with my clothes crowded the space between and in front of the closets as expected.  Oddly, the doors were left ajar, the closets empty.  As were the nightstands adjacent to either side of our bed, the drawers pulled out slightly. 

    Bette’s clothes were on the bench by the window with some items hastily piled on a chair.  Reading glasses, writing implements, magazines and a book she’d started recently lay on the floor in its immediate area.

    Without turning, I heard her footsteps before familiar arms encircled me from behind.  Bette’s hands clasped together resting just above my abdomen.  I reached over my shoulder to entangle my fingers in her curls to massage her scalp lightly.  My left hand settled over hers.

    “Enjoying the addition to our dresser?” Bette kissed my jaw then commented, “I know I said this already but I love it.  Puts what was there to shame.” 

    My glance slid across the room to the gift presented.  It took a while but I found the perfect frame.  Handcrafted in Italy with designer molding to accentuate the edging, the traditional lined frame was dark cherry with a wide sloping profile and a matching built in burl cap. 

    Housed in the frame was a mutually favored photograph. A tight shot, the two of us filled the picture much like how we were positioned at the moment.  Lovingly pressed together with just a whisper of air separating us.  Our eyes alight with unconcealed joy. 

    On the back was an inscription that read ‘Love forever – T’.

    “Glad you like it.”  I said. 

    “Babe, what’s this?  Your things…” then quipped, “second thoughts maybe?  Only one of us was moving today right?” 

    “It’s about time too.” She sighed quietly before murmuring, “I wanted you to choose which side you wanted.” 

    Interrupting her reflection, she nuzzled my neck unhurriedly.  If possible, she fit our bodies even more closely.  Unresisting, I leaned into her with both hands covering hers.

    7. Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” – Theodor Seuss Geisel Oh my poor heart…I am so glad you posted. We miss you and happy new year

    9. I was hoping you continue. Thank you for continuing this story. I like that you write Tina’s perspective; someone who is clearly hurt, but growing from that hurt and realizing that person who hurt her is also growing. Did that make sense? Anyways, Thanks.

    11. This is your best chapter. The stillness of the memory and the graceful transition back to the present. Thank you. …its tone reminds me of a fic written a while ago by Gaymo. Thank you.
