    Out of Closet (TiBette time-travel romance), Ch. 68, Finale part 4C: Chapter: Last curtain – The End is Here, finally.

     

    Tina chuckled. Bette enjoyed different flavors in her espresso coffees but the hazelnut became her favorite. Not too sweet, not too bitter…just perfect.

     

    Finally, after their food was consumed, they settled on the sofa Bette had in her office. Bette glanced at the door to make sure nobody was around and asked softly, “About last night…is that what you think we should do, T?”

     

    Tina sighed and nodded, “Unless we can come up with something else I don’t see any other choice, babe.”

     

    Bette nodded back, “I already talked to Franklin this morning. I informed him that I was taking a leave of absence for a while. The exhibit is all but done,” she gestured at the papers spread around the table. “I just finalized all the paperwork. The art installation is all that’s left and they don’t need me for that.”

     

    “And Franklin was okay with that?”

     

    “He wholeheartedly agreed. He doesn’t want any negative scrutiny so close to the show’s opening. He’s fine with me staying away while waiting for the FBI investigation to die down.”

     

    They sat in silence for a while, lost in their thoughts.

     

    “Oh, I forgot to tell you. Last night I found a dark cloak in my closet,” Tina said excitedly. “I dressed as a vampire one Halloween and the cloak was still hanging there. I think it will be perfect for our midnight adventure tomorrow. We need to get you one, too. It will help us to blend with the night…in case there’s someone happens to be around the two old oaks.”

     

    Bette smiled gently, “You know, I’m not really worried about myself. Been there, done that. I am worried about you. Just as it happened to me, the past will be a whole new world for you.”

     

    Tina squeezed her hand and smiled back, “I read all about the time you lived in and I heard enough of your stories, so I’ll be fine.”

     

    Bette laughed, “I can just see you in the Victorian clothes. I think you’ll look so cute and sexy, especially when I will take it off.”

     

    Tina shook her head, “I am not wearing those heavy drapes masquerading as dresses. No way. Can I bring my favorite pair of jeans?”

    1. Thank you for the chapter!

      But ohhh – no. I’m hopping Candace grabbing not Bette’s hand, but Helena’s. Both brunettes, both in dark cloaks. It could be, isn’t it?

      Please post soon, we need epilogue ASAP! :)

    2. Is this really the end? Not exactly a happily ever after ending in my opinion….

      I think Alice’s explanation to the FBI is perfectly feasible. I would think that the FBI would have not put their criminal investigators on a case of claimed time travel but a special division who dealt with phenomena which were rumored to exist for which was not generally accept principles of nature – such as flying sauces, Big Foot, time travel, and aliens, etc. I would expect that the FBI would treat people like Helena and the Professor as slightly off their rocker…but this is fiction.

      Now… I’m not sure that Bette and Tina have much control on where this portal takes them, but I assume its a single opening and a single exit. And reading about life in the 19th century and living it are two different things. Living in a community without electricity, indoor pluming, shoes designed to be worn on a left or right foot, no communication devices, and a life where the vast majority of time is spent acquiring money or food. A society where women are not just 2nd class citizens but for the most house holds domestic servants to men. A society in which homosexual attraction has to be hidden and never acknowledged even to the closest family member. And of course, the skill set need by Bette and Tina to survive? Being odd is not going to be their only problem. I’m not sure when you look at how hard that life would be, that running from the likes of Helena, Candace and the Professor is not a much better option.

      Your story is unique and has been very entertaining. I for one have found the concept of time travel to be fascinating. But the thought of going to a time that was not my own and be trapped indefinitely would be terrifying. Bette finding Tina was her saving grace and was the only way she could truly survive the experience. But even this was not permenant, Bette had some ability to go back and then return. But my understanding is that the portal closes permanently with this last trip. At least that is what the Professor is predicting based on some science principles which have yet to be tested much less proven.

      I know you have spent years writing this. I do appreciate it. I do hope that you do an epilogue and not leave us with a cliffhanger as to what actually happened. Our girls deserve a happy, peaceful and normal life.

      Thanks for the story…

      • Thank you for the insightful comment. Yes, the last chapter was not the actual finale, that’s why the epilogue is coming up. Apart from being a teaser (a little bit ;) ) I also wanted to stay true to my story (the way some of my chapters were structured in the past.) Thank you for reading, i really appreciate it

      • Haha, you put that idea into my head when you suggested 50 parts of the finale. Alas, i can only manage 4. The epilogue is coming and that will a final end to the story. I really appreciate your comments. Honestly, one of the earlier comments you made (maybe 10-15 chapters ago (which probably puts it 5 years ago LOL), is one of the reasons that made me going…the other reason that i’m a stubborn foreigner that wouldn’t just never give up…thank you
