A Slow Dance – Chapter 3
“No, that’s alright. I’ll stop by on my way home and pick it up. I’m only working a half day today, so I’ll probably show up around three o’clock. Is that alright with you?”
Bette’s smile grew wider. “Sounds perfect.”
“Wonderful. I’ll see you then.”
“Bye.”
Bette hung up the phone and tucked the earring back into the envelope. She would have to keep herself occupied until three o’clock showed it’s pretty little head. She entered in the password on her computer and began to try and focus on the work that lay before her.

Tina ran her hands through her hair and sighed loudly. She was getting no work done, and the script that lay before her was as untouched as it was the day it came off the press. She pushed it away from her and rested her elbows on her desk, placing her head in her hands.
What was going on with her? For the past several days, she had been showing the symptoms of severe ADD. Nothing could hold her attention for long, and a lot of the time she would find herself staring off into space thinking about nothing and everything all at once. She looked at her watch and noted the time. She stood up and gathered her belongings. She needed to get over to the gallery anyway. It was 2:00, and she had to drive across town in the now dissipating lunchtime rush hour traffic.
“Steph, I’m going to call it a day. I need to get out of the office and my day was over an hour ago. I’ll see you later.”
“Alright.” Stephanie handed her a thin file. “Jean wanted me to give this to you before you left. He said it had something to do with the Berman thing.”
Tina nodded. Great. More stress. “Thanks, Steph. I’ll see you later.”
She exited the building and got in her car, heading over to Bette’s gallery to retrieve her earring.
She pulled up in the parking lot a little under an hour later. Tina made a quick check of her makeup and hair before she exited her car and made her way into the gallery. Once inside, she saw what the gallery was like on a normal day, without all the people placed haphazardly around the establishment.

Just reliving the whole scene again but through you story is just great so romantic and because we have seen a version its so easy to imagine mmmm lovin it!
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?
