    Author Notes:

    Chapter 7

    "Bette, there’s something up front for you," Tara, Bette’s assistant, had called mid-morning to inform her of the delivery. "I would have had him bring it to your office but I knew you were in a meeting."

    "I’ll be right there," Bette said, as she slipped her glasses off and set them on the desk.

    "You might want to bring some help."

    Bette’s brow furrowed at the comment before she hung up the phone and slid her chair back.

    She saw the reason for her assistant’s cryptic words as soon as she rounded the corner and had a view of the front entryway.

    Beside her desk rested an old whiskey barrel, and inside was a grape vine, complete with the most succulent looking grapes she’d ever seen.

    "Is there…a card or anything?" Bette asked.

    Tara raised one eyebrow and pushed the card to the edge of her desk.

    "I hope you’re going to tell me who it’s from, because I actually had the good taste not to snoop."

    Bette pulled the flap from the envelope and extracted the card. It had a weight to it, a heft as she held it in her grasp. She examined the familiar script on the cream coloured stationary. She read it to herself and contemplated whether or not she would share its contents with anyone.

    ‘If the arrival of this gift seems random, then I must have lost my nerve. This vine is from the Piedmont region of Italy, and on it grow grapes with which Barolo is made. Our time in Italy continues to stand out as one of the happiest memories of my life, second only to the birth of our daughter. This note is being written with the knowledge that this will not arrive at your office for six weeks. I hope I have the wherewithal to tell you of my intentions in that time frame. I know I have a long way to go to regaining your trust. But I’m patient. And I hope you’ll consider the possibility of our being together as a family again instead of dismissing it. I love you too much to let this go. It just took a while to get here. All my love, always, Tina.’

    Bette replaced the card into the envelope and considered the vine. She couldn’t resist plucking a grape and rolling it between her index finger and thumb. She bit into it and was rewarded with the most succulent fruity flavour she had ever experienced.

    2. Now I want some grapes. Maybe authors should put food warnings on their stories so we won’t read when we’re hungry and there’s no food in sight.

    8. Hey, JKS, Nice to see that Tina is able to romance Bette in this story and personally I can;t wait to see what else she has it store. Hopefully more amorous than practical gifts as they would seem to be a way to Bette’s heart. More please of this deloghtful and hopeful tale. Many thanks of this light at the end of a very long and grey tunnel. Your Loyal Fan.

    10. Glad your back with this…missed it!…and this was really lovely!….like the idea that although Bette may be out with someone…Tina plans on being on her mind!..nice one

    11. I’m so glad to see another post from you, it’s a great story by a very talented writer!!!!! I really like this Tina, she knows what she wants and goes after it big time. I can’t wait to read what else Tina has in store for Bette :o)) Post soon again please….

    14. I’m loving Tina’s last line! Don’t go down without a fight girl; at least this way if things don’t work out she’ll know that she pulled out all the stops and gave it her all!

    15. As always,Excellent Chapter JKS.Would’ve loved it had it been much more longer, but you’re a busy gal. I’ll take what i can get.Post soon though, i can’t wait for more. Go Tina.

    18. Luckily I had some grapes right here that I can munch on – granted, they aren’t in a barrell, and they aren’t so purple that they’re almost black! That Tina is a schemer dreamer upper! Can’t wait to see what you think up next JKS!

    25. Wow, Tina is definitely in the mood to win her woman back. It is nice to see Tina working her way back to Bette and allowing Bette to take her time. Thank you for the post and hope that life and work settle down for you.

    29. So glad to see you’ve posted!! I like how Tina’s actions in trying to win Bette over. The thought that goes behind the grapevine is wonderful. Can’t wait to see what else she has up her sleeve to make sure Bette will be thinking about her and not her date!!!
