As I neared the gallery, I turned around and looked at the coffee shop. I remember the times I used to sit and watch Bette going home from her gallery every night how beautiful she looked getting in her car. How she gets stares from people as the wind blows in her hair and she acted as if she didnt notice them. She does that. She doesnt acknowledge the attention she gets. She just smiles inwardly. But when she does smiles, you forget about everything else. You forget about the things you want to do or the things you want to say, all you know is that the beauty in front of you is smiling at you. The warmth of her smile captures you, pulling you in under her spell.
But that smile and her beauty is all you could see. Beneath all that lay a different picture. Her worries, her emotions, her fear all bottled up inside. And you cant see any of it even if you wanted to, even if you sell your soul. She wont let you, however much you let her see yours. It will never happen. She never lets any person see her true self; not one person knows everything about her; not one person knows her biggest fear, her greatest worry and her deepest darkest secret. I was the only person who came close to knowing everything about her. The person she trusted the most. Even I didnt know everything about her then. She wouldnt let me in. That is the Bette Porter I know.
I walked into the gallery holding my breath waiting for the sight of her to emerge. I felt my heart racing but managed to calm myself down with the breathing lessons I had had during the Lamaze classes I attended years ago. Sarah made her way to the reception and I followed suit.
Sarah smiled at me reassuringly and held my hand.
Sarah: Hi, excuse me. Im Sarah and I have an appointment to see Miss Porter?
Rachel: Oh yes from the school trip yesterday right?
Sarah: Yes thats right.
Rachel: Well, we tried to get in touch with you but we didnt catch your contact details. All Miss Porters appointments have been pushed back to the week after next I think. Im really sorry you have come all the way here.

No more deux ex Sarah? Perhaps Tina can fit her in the overhead bin.
So…people think Tina’s missing…and Bette’s in LA. Could these two things be related? Looking forward to more, whenever.
