Epilogue — Season of Love
That is the true season of love; when we believe that we alone can love, that no one could ever have loved as much before, and that no one will ever love in the same way again. – Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749-1832) German poet, novelist and dramatist.

Bette and Tina’s duplex six weeks later.
Shane and Alice called out, “Someone open the door, please?”
Helena jumped up from one side of Bette and Tina’s California king-sized bed where she’d been semi-lying down, back against the headboard, legs outstretched, chatting with Bette and Tina about her ride with Gold that morning. She’d been saying Gold seemed to not be riding as hard, ever since Bette had stopped coming over. “Joe’s convinced he’s heart-broken,” Helena said with a slight frown.
As she opened the door, she found Shane and Alice were in the middle of an argument (again), even as each had been holding a tray of food and beverages.
“… all I’m saying is you would never see that in LA,” Alice said caustically, cutting Shane off, who appeared to have been in the midst of a retort to Alice.
“Never see what?” Helena asked, in her British-accented voice. She shut the door, trailing behind the two, who were still shooting each other looks.
Shane responded over her shoulder, “Ask Alice. She’s the one who’s all hot and bothered about it.”
Alice had walked ahead of Shane, and laid out a napkin on the edge of the bed, which Tina had smoothened out. “Oh, c’mon, Shane. Who was really the one all hot and bothered?! Me?”
She picked up a mug of rooibos-green tea as she talked, and then walked to Bette’s side, handing the mug to the brunette with one hand. She gingerly kissed the top of her friend’s head while handing her a napkin with the other hand.
“Aww.. can you blame me, Al? With Jason Derulo talkin’ dirty blasting in the background, and all that … umm… female anatomy on display in public. Just begging for attention …. ay, caramba!” Shane protested, as she laid the other tray down, and began handing out small plates, after giving Tina the fruit bowl she’d carried on the tray.
Tina laughed lightly and shook her head at Shane’s silent plea for support, as she began fixing a plate of fruit for Bette. You and Alice sort this out.

Well thankyou for this story, I love your writting, so please please start with the next story. Thx again for a happy ending.
You’ve always left me supportive comments, possibly from the first couple of chapters of “Let It Happen”, and I want to say “thank you,” too. I hope you enjoyed the journey. any suggestions to include in the arc of the next story? You’ve seen where they’ve been. Where should they go?
Oh, i’m a little sad that this amazing story is over.
But i’m very happy with the end.
Thank you so much for this incredible story, i hope you will write some more.
Thanks, Bibi. I was sad to draw things to a close, too, but this felt like the right moment. Let me know any thoughts of what makes sense for the next leg of this journey, please :-)
Sky, wonderful book! I am so glad Bette and Tina survived the attacks. Can’t wait for the next book so this mystery can be unraveled. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Radleks! I remember you loving the chapter that where I drew on Aristophanes, and I thought that I was lucky that people like you who were keeping watch over how their story was progressing were so appreciative of the nuances. Many thanks for staying with me all throughout! Any ideas for what should come next?
Absolutely wonderful story from start to end. I, too, look forward to your next installment.
Thanks Mamadoc! At some point it felt like the story was writing itself, so it felt wonderful to write it out, too, for you, and everyone. Would be happy to hear your thoughts on what’s next.
This was a great story, suspenseful, sexy and downright beautiful in parts. I suspect there’s more to tell with these characters, and I hope you’ll return soon with another story,
Thanks for writing and sharing with us. Take care! :D
Soleil, JP. That’s what it feels like when I see a comment from you. I know that there were times that I tried yours, and everyone else’ patience, particularly when the story took unexpected twists and turns. Hope you understood that that’s what the story required, at that point, and I wasn’t using a gimmick or anything. You have any thoughts on the framing of what’s next?
The twists and turns are what kept the story gripping, as well as the feeling that Bette and Tina had a persistent but unquantified threat to their safety despite Brom and Mike’s involvement. Even now, they’re not out of the woods.
Bette’s still got the various threads of a mystery on her hands, as well as a few more immediate concerns: Tina’s mother’s health, her own health, wanting to expand her family. What of Paul’s supposed pyramid scheme – how did it happen, and will Tina be able to mend that relationship while dealing with her mother’s illness? How did Scott come to be involved with the script treatments? Who were the unnamed assailants and who did they answer to? Who was ultimately pulling the strings? And more importantly, when will they strike again?
They’ve weathered the storm so far, and have come out of it stronger than ever, with their circle of friends widening yet growing closer, chief among them Jules! I didn’t get to see her do her Black Widow routine and take names. ;-)
I’d love to see more of them all… and I’m not the only one. Thanks again!
Thank you for bringing us on a wonderful journey of Bette and Tina’s world of glamor, business, intrigue and loving moments. I am sad to see this book to end. I hope you will come back with another book in this series as there are so many mysteries to solve.
You’re welcome! And THANK YOU for reading both books from beginning to end. Sorry that I brought things to a close at this point, but it felt like the right moment. So …. what do you think? Are there things that you’d be interested in seeing/reading about them?
YES!! Absolutely. Get started already.
Bravo, you kept our heroines safe. I love the loyalty of the old friends, Alice, Helena,Shane and the love by the new, Diane, Jules, Mike, Brom. Can Tyler find out who was behind the attacks? Seem like there more material for a sequel. You think? Thanks for taking the time to write and post this great story. I appreciate the effort and spirit that it takes to post. Thank you again.
Thank you for this wonderful story and the happy end.PPS
Thanks so much for the ride. It was a wonderful story. Hope to see you post another story soon.
What a beautiful and heart felt story so sad to see it end. Your writing is truly wonderful and romantic. Thank you and hope to get another story from you soon.
I loved the conclusion to this different kind of Tibette story. It seems that there is another book to be written and by the way were was our little angel Angie. Thank You for the adventure. It was so ironic that you used the same song to end this story of Tibette that ABC Family used at the wedding of another favorite couple Stef and Lena on The Fosters.
Really enjoyed your writing the next chapter is finding out who the mystery guy is? He disappeared after the failed attacks. Question is Bette and Tina still safe? Can Bette go back to old life as a gallerist does Tina get pregnant?
That was beautiful and awesome, love it
