"Thankyou so much." she took a sip of her water and began talking to the crowd, "I’ve been asked here by a woman
who i’ve come to know as remarkable. She’s requested a specific song, going out to a specific person."
Jasmine unfolded a piece of paper that she carried in her hand, and began reading,
"’This performace goes out to Tina Kinnard. With everything that I am, I love you. Bette Porter.’"
She motioned for the band to begin playing and they did.
Jasmine began to sing…

‘L is for the way you look at me.’

Just then, the door opened and Tina’s attention was suddenly on the front entrance, along with everyone else.

‘O is for the only one I see.’

Bette made her way over to the table of friends, never once talking her eyes off of the other woman.

‘V is very, very extraordinary, E is even more than anyone that you adore’

Bette placed her hand out in front of Tina. "May I have this dance?"
Tina took the outstretched hand and allowed Bette to lead her out onto the dance floor. Bette pulled Tina
in close to her body as they swayed to the music.

‘Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart, but please don’t break it
Love was made for me and you’

As the band began to play the instrumental, Jasmine took a step back and took a sip of her drink. Looking out
into the crowd, she spotted more couples stepping onto the dance floor. Looking over to her left, she spyed Shane
sitting at the bar, beer turned up, and a crooked smile…all the while, looking at her. She smiled.

***
Bette pulled back to face Tina.

"I’m suprised you accepted."
"how could I not?" Tina smiled.
"I’m sorry that I hurt you. And I know that isn’t much, but if you’ll let me, I promise, I’ll make it up to you."
"Bette," she pulled the taller woman closer, "shut up and dance with me."

Jasmine reclaimed her spot in front of the mic for the closing cerse. Taking the mic into both hands, she
closed her eyes and began to sing,

‘Love is all that i can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart, but please don’t break it
Love was made for me and you.

Love was made for me and you.’

The band let the song play out and the crowd began to soflty clap for Jasmine, who was taking her bows and making
her way off stage. Before she left, she made eye contact with Bette, who was all smiled.
Jasmine gave her a wink and made her way out of the club.

"Happy Anniversary, T." Bette whispered.
Tina placed her head on the other woman’s shoulder and secretly smiled.
