A Slow Dance – Chapter 3
Anita nodded and opened a web page, acquiring the number for Alphaville Studios almost immediately. “I’ll have it for you in a few minutes.”
Bette smiled and walked back to her office. “Thanks, Anita. I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
The secretary smiled and shook her head, dialing the number to Alphaville.
Soon, Bette was being put through to Tina’s office.
“This is the office of Tina Kennard, my name is Stephanie, how may I help you?”
“Stephanie, this is Bette Porter of the Bette Porter Gallery. Is Ms. Kennard in her office?”
“I’m afraid not, Ms. Porter. She should be here in a few minutes though. Would you like me to give her a message?”
Bette held back an exasperated sigh. “Yes. Could you tell her I called and that I have something that belongs to her? I need to get in touch with her as soon as possible.”
“Absolutely, Ms. Porter. I’ll tell her right when she gets in.”
“Thank you, Stephanie.”
Bette hung up the phone and stared down at the lonely envelope lying on her desk. She picked it up and popped it open, letting the object inside slip out onto the palm of her hand. She studied the architecture of the accessory, appreciating the simple beauty it put forth. Much like its owner, she mused. Bette turned on her computer and waited for it to boot up, fingering the earring absentmindedly while she waited. A shrill ringing snapped her out of her day dream.
“Bette Porter.”
“Bette, hi, it’s Tina Kennard.”
A bright smile broke out on Bette’s face. “Tina, hi. It’s so wonderful of you to get back to me so soon.”
“I heard from my secretary that you have something that belongs to me. Is this true?”
Bette heard the playful tone in Tina’s voice and laughed quietly. “As a matter of fact, yes. Your rebellious earring from the other night seems to have liked it here so much it wanted to stay. I found it lying on the floor, almost out of sight under the table.”
“You have got to be kidding. I swear, I thought I put it back on.”
Bette smiled and stared at the earring, silently thanking it for falling off its owner. “Well, either way, it’s in my hands now. If you want, I could bring it over later and drop it off.”

I’ve never been able to completely wrap my brain around Bette’s unabashed boldness in claiming this kiss. This telling of the story is helping me to understand. Absolutely marvelous writing. And just so you’ll know, I don’t give out compliments liberally.
Oh, one question. Your name, illuminatigoddess? Do you read Marianne Williamson?
