…Blood… Thicker Than Water…
Chapter One: Insight
Bette Porter, age 43, sat by her pool with very little to say these days. After all that had gone awry, the only thoughts she now had were “What now?”, “What next?” and “What else will go wrong?”. Tina who had long since left often occupied Bette’s mind though she wished that she could just make all those memories dissipate. Like the way the blond’s kind eyes moved over their home, the smell of her perfume in the morning after her early shower and her smile. The smile that mirrored on Angelica’s face as she slept soundly in her room in Bette’s usually vacant home.
Shane watched the expressions play across her dear friends face as she crept forward silently.
“Bette?” She announced her presents in a barely audible whisper. Bette looked blank for a minute before she acknowledged Shane.
“Would you like to sit?” Bette asked softly with a smile.
“Sure.” The younger brunette replied. After she took her seat in close proximity to Bette they fell back into silence. Bette seemed intrigued by the cool blue color of her large pool and Shane was set on finding the right words before she next spoke and once they were found she let her voice drop down considerably.
“I have an idea…” Shane stated as her gaze followed Bette’s to the pool. Bette turned to her slightly.
“What might that be?” She asked softly.
“A gallery… You need to make yourself better… heal… ya know,” She looked over at Bette’s clouded expression before she continued. “I think you should start a new Bette Porter Gallery… art’s you’re world…” Bette raised herself from her seat swiftly.
“I’ll get right on that Shane.” She said as she turned away. At first Shane took this as sarcasm and possibly anger until she saw Bette pick up the phone and phone book then sit down at the table getting to work on this project.
Alice and Dana sat at The Planet, having their afternoon coffee.
“You know, if Bette got her fucking shit together… maybe Tina would still be around.” Dana shook her head.
“You’re wrong Al,” Dana said as she looked at Alice directly. “They need this time away from one and other.”

Nice start, good banter! :)
Wow! Very interesting start, *Sunburst*! I look forward to reading more. And this made me laugh out loud: “Do not talk to me about my lazy wingnut of a sister and Miss. Bisexual Blondie two-shoes” — love it. And thank you so much for having Dana around after beating cancer. Thanks!!
Hello again, I didn’t mention that I love the idea of Bette opening a new gallery… I thought she was the most interesting character when she dealt with art in this passionate and complete of a way. Sincerely, JC
Hello …*Sunburst*…, I love this idea of an extended family for the Porters, with Melvin’s indiscretions it seem possible. I really like that this is sort of setting up from a new vantage point with Bette and Tina separated at the moment we might see some new developments with those two and Dana and Alice are there and Kit and Shane, this looks to be fun and exciting. Can’t wait for more. Sincerely, JC (PS – Really I can’t wait… is it here yet… hmmm maybe if I close my eyes I’ll get an early Christmas Gift :P)
Ok you got my attention
