Well done for a first time la petite. Might I ask what you are doing here? Halo
typed back and Tina felt a hot blush rising to her cheeks.

Finding myself Sir. She typed before she could think, and she wished she
could erase that comment.

As are most people young one. Where might you live? There are many clubs
that you can go and explore with relative safety. These chatrooms are sometimes
filled with inexperienced Dom/mes. Some looking for a submissive to abuse
rather than cherish. Until her experience with Bree, Tina would have
thought that a contradiction in terms. Susan had shown her something else. Tina
thought Broken Halo’s question for a moment. LA was a large place, and Tina
figured she had nothing to lose.

LA Sir.

Really? I live there also, I am intrigued by you Tina, if you’d like, we can
meet. In a very public place, and please set up call times to a friend so that
you feel safe. My email is brokenhalo@notarealemail.com if you’d like to stay
in contact with Me.

Do You know a place called The Planet? Tina typed back without thought
and hit enter, hands shaking hard as she did. She didn’t allow herself to think
just how reckless she was being at this moment. The need for something,
anything to move her into something new and away from all that pain was
stronger than any caution she might have felt.

The ***** coffee house? Yes I do. You frequent this establishment? Halo
typed back and Tina typed back.

On occasion. When can W/e meet? Tina typed, thinking she had lost her
mind but she did it nonetheless. What would her friends think? Who cares? This
was her life, and it was time to start taking charge of it. She wanted
something as far from her old life as Bette’s wife as she could get. This
seemed like a good place to start.

I can be there in an hour? I am tall, with dark eyes, black beard and hair,
usually tied in a pony tail but I’ll wear it down, and my name is Page. You
are, I take it, Tina?

Just ask the waitresses for Tina K, and they’ll direct You to me. I think
I’m insane for doing this, by the way. Tina typed, laughing at herself and
seeing that her hands had stopped shaking.
