The next morning, Tina awoke around ten to take Yankee out. She stopped in the doorway of the bedroom, smiling at the image of Bette still asleep in the jeans and tank. They’d fallen asleep during their second movie, rousing around three to stumble into the bedroom, climbing in and falling asleep in each other’s arms for the first time after gentle goodnight kisses. They were still that way when Tina woke up to good morning kisses on her face from an enthusiastic Yankee.
When they got back, Tina quietly crawled back into bed, and Bette sidled up next to her, laying her head on Tina’s chest and promptly falling back asleep. Tina drifted off soon after her, smiling as she recalled the heart-warming image she’d noticed when she returned: two pairs of heels by the front door.
It’s not that Tina Kennard was just a happy, content, or fulfilled woman. She was whole.

That was absolutely lovely. Astaire and Rogers as a metaphor for Bette and Tina, that was lovely too. I can't wait 'til you post your other story. Thanks for this, it was great, NY.

NYGL.....This was wonderful and I so loved the Fred and Ginger comparison. On the show when they are together and not bitching at each other, they are truly soulmates.

NY NY this was a wonderful story...I am sad to see it go but I am okay because you assured us you would write again. You wrote those 2 so well...and I am glad it ended happily. I am looking forward to reading more from you...oh and nothing wrong with being a film nerd...I heard there is a certain sexiness there.

I figured there would be dancing in this chapter. I just wasn't sure if it was a waltz, a quickstep, or the horizontal boogie. xD Such a sweet and awesome story. And believe it or not, the two pairs of heels got me all choked up. Don't ever worry about being a movie geek. I'm a music geek and damn proud of it. Here's to TiBette and Fringer (wow that sounds odd).

i loved your story, from start to end. meant to comment much earlier but always found myself on someone else's computer when i read each of your chappies, and i couldn't remember my password, my login, whatever. anyway, your writing is clean, flows smoothly and is wonderful to read. the storyline was imaginative and uplifting. can't wait for your next pieces! thanks!

Wow, so Tina feels totally whole now and I also figure that Bette feels the same way. Great story and I can't wait for the next story that you take up.
