Chapter 3
Bette was undeniably moved by the letter.
She had not been expecting the outpour of feelings that it contained. It had reached deeply in her soul.
The letter appealed to her senses in more ways than one.
Its appearance had made the first impact; it was beautiful, aesthetically beautiful.
The choice and quality of the paper, the handwriting bordering of the finest calligraphy. The choice of ink, turquoise, which had soaked into the paper so lightly. She could picture the nib of the fountain pen gliding smoothly in measured movements as the words stumbled out of the writer’s mind. The reason she was so taken by the appearance of the anonymous correspondence was that in itself it was a work of Art.
Whoever had penned this letter had put a lot of heart into it. Heart, this is exactly what this letter was. It was a love letter, thrown out into the world with the expectation that it would fall in the hands of its rightful intended.
Is was a very sentimental gesture indeed and the whole romantic idea of it all toyed with Bette’s emotions.
She lifted the pages again and as she stood by the window, read the neatly scripted thoughts once more.
She sighed heavily as she reached the last words at the bottom of the last page. "T" she whispered.
She could not help but think about the reasons which had pushed her away from the West Coast. She had lived in Los Angeles all her life. But yet she had left it all behind. She needed a new start, her career was not the only reason as she had been very successful in her chosen path. She lived for Art and Art had made a very comfortable living for her.
No, she had left it all behind to forget a difficult relationship. One, which had left her alienated from the people she thought she knew. She felt alone in one of the biggest cities in North America, and before loneliness set in she had decided to uproot and make a new life elsewhere. New York had been the perfect choice. New start, new faces, new surroundings, new friends….and perhaps who knows new love?

You are so creative. Amazing to write such a story.
I m with azmama.Great.Thank you.
I can’t wait for the time they will meet for the first time or the time that Bette will find out that Tina is the one who wrote the letter! Or will it be Tina that she will find out that Bette has her letter? I can’t wait, I can’t wait, I can’t wait!
Who said miracles didn’t exist, Tina…? I have a feeling that they’ll meet soon… But not because of the letter, because of the Art… Ah, fate, fate, fate, please do your work…! Thanks K, this is very promising… Again!
Your imagination really floors me. I still can’t believe English is not your native tongue, you are so good. How will they find each other?
I do love this story and like everyone else I’m so ready for them to meet. I’m also very happy that someone has recognized that Laurel H is an artist and lives to paint everyday. You have captured her essence in your description today with this chapter. From some of the articles that I’ve read when she has been interviewed playing music is one of the things she does when she is painting, and yes she also goes out with paint on her face sometimes and wonders why people are looking at her strangely, then discovers that she has paint on her face. And you’re very right she is very beautiful with or without the paint on her face. We love her no matter what she does. Thanks for this story which is a lovely tribute to Laurel and also a lovely tribute to the love that Bette and Tina had during the life of the show and that all you talented writers are continuing in perpetuity. Thanks again for a lovely story. Hope they meet soon. PPS
One word..AMAZING!!!
Whoa…where do you come up with this amazing ideas for your stories….You are so….there are no words…except, maybe, here comes another heart melting, romantic story that I’ll be checking out every day…LOL…brilliant!!!
I loved the letter and like Bette I read it more than once. So moving. I like that you’ve made Tina an artist and played on Laurel’s recent work. I’ve seen a video of Laurel painting and your description was spot on.
I am so looking forward to their process towards eachother – amazing story.
Great story, pps.
beautiful writing…such a romantic idea. Keep going, it’s going so well and I love it.
This is an amazing story. Tina as a painter, so real, looking forward to Bette and Tina meeting.
Wow! Really enjoying your beautiful story. That is an amazing letter you/Tina wrote. Echoing Dainty’s sentiments, I’m also glad to see you’ve incorporated Laurel’s love of music and painting in Tina’s character here.Looking forward to more…
That was great and hope Bette and Tina will meet. Please post more, thanks!
i know my comment is out of order…lol… i am still at work and just had a few minutes to read… love this… and i agree with dainty… pps
Ow Kins40!! :-D I love this chapter! Your description of Tina here easily made me picturing the real Laurel herself!! You wrote down all her things beautifully and spot on! He3.. Agree with Dainty, totally! It’s a tribute to her :-)Story wise, I am curious on how will they meet? Will Bette showing Tina’s paintings in her gallery-where they’ll meet? ;-) or just meet up accidentally in the subway? Or?? LOL excuse me, my imagination is running wild so here I am babbling as I am too excited to read more… Thanks for posting, looking forward to the next chapter! PPVS :-)
This is just such a romantic story and so wonderful to read. Thank you.
I love this. I can picture Tina from the videos of Laurel Holloman painting….so cute.
Wow, so Tina is a painter in here. And the letter is not that old! [Sigh in relief]..Now all we have to do is wait!…Until they have that chance meeting.
I too automatically thought about LuH in her painting videos on YouTube, how she be boobing her had while the music plays, how she hold brushes in her mouth as well her hands at the same time, how she be covered in paint and still look beautiful, did I forget to bring mention how amazing her work is. ..nice chapter
