The letter on the subway
Story written on March 14, 2011 by kins40.
Chapter 2
When Bette finally reached her hotel suite, she could not contain herself anymore. She had been carrying that letter all day with her, conscious of it presence in her bag like a formidable weight hanging on her shoulder.
Her whole day had gone by with a blur. She, in actual fact felt that her life had been put on fast forward for the last 8 to 10 hours. She had met numerous estate agents to find a suitable place to live. She was comfortably off but despite how luxurious her current accommodation was, it was not entirely feasible to remain in a hotel for ever. Tomorrow she would stop by and inspect the new premises she had chosen to start her new gallery.
She collapsed onto the luxurious sofa and eyed her handbag which she had let fall on the coffee table in front of her. She could hear her own heart beat so intense was the excitement she was feeling at finally being able to open the letter. How many times had she been tempted during the day to open it and avidly read its content. But she thought better of it. She wanted to do it away from prying eyes, away from the cacophony of the streets. She needed calm and comfort to savour the discovery.
She reached into her oversized designer handbag and her hand made contact with the object she had tried so desperately to ignore most of the day.
The dilemma was still there. Evidently, the letter was addressed to someone. But was this someone meant to be a random person like her who was destined to find the letter or was it affectionately addressed to a special "you" who had mislaid the letter on the subway.
She looked at the envelop now in her hand. She felt the paper in between her thumb and index finger.
Whoever the sender of this letter was, had undoubtedly expensive taste. The stationery was of great quality and had a soft velvet touch to it. She was also astonished at the thickness of the envelop. No doubt the paper it contained was of similar quality but she guessed that it may also contain several pages.

OMG Kins40 you really got me! the letter is so touching… it’s kinda desperate.. You know-what’s the odd of people will take the letter, open and read it, and most of all let someone who read the letter is the one! I guess buy and winning lottery is having better odd…I am thrilled to find out how they will meet? Unless there’s a contact information in the letter?! ;-) lol would it be that simple? Ugh.. Cant wait to know what’s next. PPVS? :-) Thanks!

Wonderful story and writing…I am very intrigued by it & curious to see if although they haven’t met, if perhaps T has already seen the lovely Ms. Porter on the subway? I have many thoughts & questions that spring to mind now that the letter has been revealed, but I’ll hold off and wait the story to unfold…thank you again & PPVS :D
