"Ladies and gentleman, Welcome to Seattle" This were it, I am here. I take to me a taxi and go to the address which Marina had said to me. I paid the taxi and stood before a small entrance in you your car had parked. So well, you are at home, is at least to be accepted. What do I say only? What do I do here? Bette, please help me. I stand before your door, hear your steps in the flat. Carefully I knock, only timidly, then a little stronger, my hands hide like a small, shy girl in my jacket pocket. "A moment please!" you call to me. Your voice, so endlessly trusts, thus near as if we had just still spoken with each other. I hear you to come on the door. There I feel the slip of paper which I had written tonight, in my hand, I get out him, open up him, and throw a brief look at it. "Yes, yes." if I hardly whisper audible. With the left hand I open the mailbox slit a gap only, in the rights the slip of paper. " Yes, you simply throw through it, I am there immediately and wait please, I would become with pleasure that you take a letter." To me there falters the breath. Then I drop the slip of paper and see how he glides in floating movements to ground and lands at the back softy. Now there is nobody back more, now … Your steps get closer, I see your shoes, see by the small gap how you bend down to which takes slip of paper and him slowly to your face moves to your eyes the words recognize:

I miss you! Tina

Translators

Thank you to Lana Maundrell, Anja, Lady Jules and Maja, me energetically in the case of the translation supported.

More especially Maja has perfected this story in the shortest time into English.

My completely special thanks…

… goes to the Cast and the crew of the show “The L Word”. For many fans TLW is more than only a TV show, more than only one of the evening series, more than only entertainment. TLW is rather, a part of our life, a cause, in order to think about existing value conceptions, to sit down with problems apart, to which we believed to have found avoidable an answer, a way with new perspectives for our own life. Therefore my special thanks go to the outstanding actresses, at writer inside and directors the show. Let’s go it!

And last but not least I would like to say thank you to Jennifer Beals and Laurel Holloman, or should I say better thank you to Bette Porter and Tina Kennard, for the inspiration too this story, for the many virtual discussions in the argument with relationship and for the marvellous creative moments in the emergence of these Fan fiction.
