Where You Go There You Are
Chapter 43
Walking through the main Gallery on her way to the Southeast Gallery, Bette reminded herself to take things slowly. Yes time was of the essence with Tina coming to collect Angelica tomorrow but if she wanted to have a lasting input on Angelica in a positive way she needs to take it down a few notches and be her friend. An adult friend that wants Angelica to learn from her experiences but not such a pushy friend that her advise would get quickly tossed out with all the other know it all stuff Adults say.
It was a slow day at the Gallery so things were pretty quiet. This allowed Bette to hear Alice before she reached the opening.
“Angie I think you’re going to love it here. We’ve got great weather almost all of the time which means you can do a lot more stuff then where you live now. That was back East somewhere wasn’t it?” Alice pauses here leading Bette to surmise that Angelica must have given Alice a non-verbal response.
“Well I mean if its snow you are use to we can accommodate that with a quick weekend trip to the mountains. I’m not sure why you’d want to freeze that way but its all possible here.”
It was at this point in the conversation that Bette appeared at the entrance. Bette recognized immediately which painting Angelica was poised in front. The painting was a large piece which consisted of a series of suns all different in colors in an abstract presentation. The colors are bright and exhilarating. While the images are simple in their composition the brightness of the colors combined with the boldness of the brush strokes allows the viewer to feel the energy that seemingly pours off the canvas. It has been Bette experience that the only viewers who don’t understand and fall in love with this piece are those viewers who let their own inhibitions prevent them from feeling the electrical charge. Bette is continually amazed at how many don’t get this work. It is only those few who can open themselves up enough to feel the electrical charges that jump out demanding to be felt. Apparently Angelica is one of those lucky few.

Hey, I like this one, too. Bette better not have been eye fucking Angie like she did her mother.
all done before x-mas? will we get happy ending?
This so rare its cold here didnt get over 39 today. Cant complain tho This was soup and hot bread night. Ihope that Angie has found the missing parts of her life, Tina did a good job on raising Angie. she made her into a mimi Bette. All the things that Bette loved she was expose to. Sje is in awe of Bette and didnt pay much attention to Alice. Thank goodness. Ten days to Christmas so let have a very happy ending to this. thanks
I think this is my first comment ever on this story, although I really enjoy and love it. This chapter is as great as all the chapters before and I especially love the way you underline the small but very meaningful similarities between Bette and Angelica. Is it a foregone conclusion if I think that Tina raised Angelica the way she imagined Bette and her would have done it? And that she formed Angie to a small version of Bette with all the gallery visits and support for her creative development? Again…I really enjoy this story of yours and I can’t wait to read the next chapter. – Jay
Angelica has found the missing person to complete the puzzle of her life. And the missing part of her biological mother’s life as well. PPS.
The way your write Bette and Angie’s connection is intriguing. I’m loving this story, and I agree, Angie seems to have found what she was missing on many levels, art, family, and identity.
glad to hear your party went well and that you’re starting the week with a happy soul :) thanks for the update! i would really like to see angie say good things about her relationship with tina. i know you still have a lot of drama in store for us but i do hope you’ll bring us a family in the end.
Wonderful Stuff! I love the way that Angie is physically a reenactment of Tina with behaviour, but then also of Bette, obviously physically with looks. And then personality wise she is so like Bette but so like Tina.. What a joy to read!
oh this is joy. cant wait for more. thx
That was great and Alice is crazy lol!
