1 Tina
’Here, your wife needs you.’ She said in French.
Bette answered and my brain wondered; now what? The town disappeared out of sight and I pushed the gas pedal in deeper. ’How did Erik react?’ The Director of the Marmottan was the first to pop up my mind.
’It was fine. He send Sylvie to take care of it.’ She said casually. ’Are you in the car?’ It was a rhetorical question but she was trying.
’Close to Rouen. Is Renee really as good as she sounds?’
’She’s fine, it’s fine.’ She said and I turned up the volume, her voice was so soft I could barely hear it.
I came fresh from University when I had applied for my first job in the movie business. It had been a though selection process and during the final assessment I was asked; If you would be a car which part would you be? I had giggled nervously. No preparation could’ve prepared me for such a question. The last interview was held in the intimidating Head Quarters in the heart of Hollywood and while starring at the glass of water, that I hadn’t dared to touch, I took my time to think.
The interviewers shifted in their chairs trying to hurry me. One woman clicked her pen with a sigh. The most obvious answers for me seemed to be the engine or the steering wheel, but for some reason it didn’t sound right to me. A more insignificant part, like the timing belt, to keep everything going would have been lame too. A door, a window.. my mind raced into an almost a blank state. The men in the room had looked over at the parking lot when someone had started a race car. And I blurred out; The chassis.
Why? Had naturally been their next question. Because a good chassis is reliable and you can build on it, it carries all the weight. It’s the first to come and the last to leave, when it breaks you have nothing.
They chose someone else, I guess they were looking for an engine or a steering wheel after all.
’And you? H-how are you?’ I asked.
’Fine.’
’So everything is fine then.’
’Everything is fine.’ She confirmed unwavering before a long silence filled the car until she hung up. The rest of the drive I spent wondering how it felt like to be fine.

Hey ladies,
Welcome back!
I do remember Renee and the story of last year. I totally loved that one but this rewrite is catching my interest as well.
My heart is breaking for Bette and Tina, i want to cry for them and hope and wish they will find the love they once had.
And Renee being so sick, no cure possible. The catalist for Bette returning to Paris.
I’m looking forward to read the other parts.
A re-write? I’m curious to see what you’ve changed. I loved it the first time around and was waiting for an update.
Well, I’m off to reading now. :-)
It still hurts a lot to see T & B so miserable and unable to look at each other, let alone talk to each other.
I’m hooked again. Please more! :)
I was exciting seeing the tittle (not knowing of the meaning of 2.0 was). read the story eagerly, thinking it was another chapter of the other story. but then I read, Renee is still alive? hmm.. must be a past story, then.. I thought.. hmm.. it’s weird, the storyline seems different from the one without 2.0.
then I read Author Note, I should have read it sooner… hehehehe.. (so sorry.. I didn’t read the author note from the beginning because how eager I was to read it) so it is different story, with almost the same background .. and now I wonder what is the difference from the other one? well… my impression reading this one is less bitterness, a lot of stubbornness from both side,, and that makes me wonder what happened with them?
I love both stories, and can’t wait for the next one.. and thank you for sharing your work with us..
Ooh you’re back!! Thank you :)
I must say that this story is rather confusing to me… As you have no introduction into any background on this story. Who is Renee? Who is “I”… what’s going on… I am sorry to say that after 3 pages I simply quit reading as I still had no clue as what I was reading. If you are depending on the reader having read another story to figure out who these people are and what is going on, then you need to say so. But your story is like waking up and finding yourself somewhere you have never been before with people you do not know and why you or they are there… With any good story… you cannot assume your reader knows anything…. you must tell the reader what they need to know to get into the story..
I do remember your last story…. but I also remember that I had a great deal of difficulty following who was talking in your dialogue sequences… thus, I had a great deal of difficulty discerning the story line… Is this Bette talking or is it Tina? I guess some enjoy that style of story telling… I will say that I enjoyed Desert Rose far more than Uncharted Territory.
Good luck with this one. I wish you much success…
