“Thank you.” Tina said accepting the pillow and blanket from the flight attendant. Placing the items aside in the vacant seat next to her, the blonde executive released her seatbelt and retrieved her work satchel from its storage under the forward seat. The screenplay that had the studio heads dispatching her east was handed to her last minute. A quick scan before attempting to sleep would hopefully satisfy the details she needed to conduct her meeting with the New York based writer.
Tina placed the script in her lap and reached back in the satchel for her pen. Her hand brushed over a loose, single, sheet of paper she did not expect to find and she peered inside the pocket to discover a surprise from home.
The vivid colors of Anthony’s drawing transformed the blonde mommy’s exhausted expression from a daunting day into sparkling pride. The stick figures were far from generic with their personalized touches by the four-year old. The two yellow-haired figures were clearly mother and son Kennard. Vera would inwardly scoff, but the matriarch was unmistakable with mixed gold and silver hues crowning her likeness. Chloe was crudely sketched at their feet and to the side stood who had to be Phillip with an out of proportion teapot in his stick figure hand.
Tina chuckled quietly reflecting on the young man who had so easily become a part of her family. She planned to give him a bonus for his patient attention to her mother’s needs since her arrival. If Vera stayed on, as Tina hoped, she would raise his base pay to reflect the extra work. So far they were doing well as a family in L.A. and she could not imagine how difficult managing work and home would have been without Phillip’s devotion and Sheila, her personal assistant, who helped out with stealth efficiency.
Prominent in the drawing were three figures that tugged the blonde mommy’s heart to see among her son’s subjects. A smaller version of Chloe was at the feet of two dark haired figures. Miss Bette, Madie and Pete the pup completed the group scene under a Crayola periwinkle sky.

Of course if they did elope . . .Ok, nevermind.I’d like more story first.
Even though I didn’t hear that Law & Order “gung gung”, akshay, my heart did that little sinking thing that happens when trepidation sets in. Vera’s instincts are perhaps right; this trip of Tina’s portends maybe not some great evil, but at least something unsettling at the very least. Maybe life-altering, if the Sad Woman of Mystery on that NYC park bench is who many think her to be… O.o Right then, sk. You’ve got us all worried, so to put us out of our misery, you’re totally gonna post soon, aren’t you? I thought so! ;) Thanks for the chapter. :)
They can elope anytime. I have a really bad feeling about the dark headed woman sitting on the park bench in NY. I use to live on Perdido Key until Ivan, but still work at the elementary school nearby. Getting jittery over the oil making it’s way towards us.
Psychic Vera is on to something… I agree with Boo, I want to have ice cream and go the park too!
I think Kate is alive and they will met.Drama is coming up.PPS
Who will Tina meet while travelling?
SK, as always, I really enjoyed the chapter. Tina’s flights of fancy are not the only ones happening with like subject matter. Can hardly wait till we move thru the next chapter and I’m looking forward to it with so much trepidation. Thanks for posting. Have a great weekend.

Hooray, you’re getting closer to revealing the mystery woman in NYC (I hope)! PPS!
Tina really does need to get a grip. She’s overthinking everything. Need more please.
I am worrying now. You are killing me sunkissed and you know it. PPVS
What have you got up your sleeve with Vera’s sixth sense? Hmmmmm… Please get Tina home safely and have our girls spending time together!
Oh why do I feel like Vera that something’s not right. I feel some drama rama coming up. thank you SK for this wonderful story.
So why did I just hear the Law and Order ‘Gung gung’ in my head at the end of this chapter. Why do I get the feeling drama and angst are about to follow?
i have the same feeling of dread as i head the first time i read this story
