    Author Notes:

    B&T

    “I can’t let you go”

    Bette froze; her mind raced ahead, exploring and analysing every angle of the comment. Her feet remained glued to the floor. Her mouth opened to speak but the words stuck in her throat, blocked by the lump that resided there.

     

    In the seconds that passed, she felt numb; utterly anaesthetised. The torrents of emotion coursing through her veins exhausted all physical motivation, it wiped away any of the thoughts that would’ve been running through her at that point. Her heart switched to a faster rhythm, her pulse running a matching tempo.

     

    Turning, she looked into the eyes she’d never forget.

    “Goodbye, Tina”

    – – – – – – – – – –

    Hours later, she sat on the flight that would take her to Jodi. She thought of that morning with Tina, then of Jodi. Her mind seemed to be giving her a choice, placing her options in juxtaposition as though it would help her reach some sort of resolve. It didn’t.

     

    She shook it off and turned her attentions to the laptop sat before her, open. Clicking onto her email, she began scrolling through her messages. She always checked from bottom to top, reading the eldest messages first. After numerous polite replies, she neared the end of her unread emails. There remained only two; one she recognised as Phyllis’ address and was entitled “Bette, please help?” the other read “No Subject” and was from a TK@shaolinstudios.net. She brought her mouse to the latter, discarding her Old before New tradition. It read:

     

    Bette Porter:

    The name that haunts me.

    The name I utter to an empty room every night before succumbing to dreams filled with the same.

    The name that manages to sum up my every desire.

    Bette swallowed hard and read on.

     

    You’ve just this house. It feels so cold already. I know you’ll be checking your inbox on the plane. I know you’re sat there reading these words with the slightest of a smirk at my prediction being true. I know you’ll glance around to see if anyone noticed the quiet woman smiling into her computer.

     

    Bette chuckled gently. Then looked up quickly, just in case.

     

    News for you, Bette; they all noticed. None of the people around you would miss that smile, however small it may be. And again I’m reminded of another thing that haunts me.

    2. Okay Angel, you’d gotten me already with “How we do things here”, but with *THIS*, you went for the kill, girl! Loved it, absolutely loved it! Stand-alones?… Anytime, dear! You are a truly talented writer and you’ve got me on board for whatever fic journey you decide to take us on! Hey, is your name supposed to refer to our dear Dana watching over our B&T from above, or is it related to a real-life name? Sorry, if this is nosey, you really don’t have to answer. Thanks!

    8. It’s not that often that I’ll smile just about the whole way through a post. I really, really liked that, AD. Hope your exam results are what you want them to be, and let me wish you an early Happy Birthday. Thanks for the lovely post.

    11. i am completely and utterly amazed at this chappy……the most amazing i think i have ever read……i cant imagine the time you put into writing this…..and to finally find out that tina is there with her on the phone….just amazing…..i love you for this chapter……it is definately one of a kind….thanx…..

    18. That was the most beautiful posting, and one that deserves MORE. That took a lot of thought and romantic musings. I certainly hope there is more to this, but if not, I completely understand. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL, expressed their love and the devotion they both feel towards the other. I will print this and keep it framed. It deserves it. “The husky tones tht could make a nun sweat with desire.” Now how old did you say you were? You are a sappy romantic like so many of us on this site. Happy Birthday dear. PPS

    21. Double WOW…this was sweet and romantic. I think this story will stick with me for awhile…just breathtaking. For a rough piece this is by far one of your best pieces. keep up the good work.PPS

    23. wow…. beautiful… if that is “rough” … what is “smooth” or “perfect” to you ? LOL !! I would not wish you too many sleepless nights… however… if you really can’t sleep… then… keep writing… I’ll keep reading ;-)

    26. Absolutely Brilliant! Did you say this was “rough”? Damn girl, I can only imagine “perfection” is if your book. LOL! It’s a great stand alone story but I think you could give us a few more chapters? **raising my eyebrows with a questioning look** PS.
