Driving – Chapter 26
If
you come up here just a little more theres a spot where you can see the other
side of the valley too. Bette stopped
walking but she kept pointing up the trail.
She was waiting for Tina to move towards her.
Tina
didnt move, she just looked at her.
I
like the view here.
Bette
looked at her face. Right.
Bette
walked back down to where Tina was standing.
They were on the side of a mountain, just off the trail, looking at the
view that Tina had seen first with her mother just last weekend. She had asked Bette to come on this hike to
share it with her. Without turning,
Tina asked, So what do you think?
Its
beautiful, T.
Tina
was hoping to recapture the feeling that shed had upon looking out over this
vast valley. It had been a pivotal
moment for Tina. A moment when she felt
her personal pain was diminished and became endurable. The world was going on and would go on no
matter what happened between she and Bette.
She wanted Bette to feel that too, but that wasnt happening. As
disappointment began to seep in, she realized that maybe she had hoped for too
much. It was a place where she had moved
forward herself, but maybe not one where they would move forward together.
Lets
catch up with the others, Im hungry, Tina said abruptly.
Uh,
ok. The llamas have the lunch,
right? Bette asked, but Tina didnt
answer.
A
short while later they had reached the summit, taken their box lunches and
found a private spot on a grassy knoll on which to eat. Bette opened her box.
This
looks good, she said gleefully. Mmm
this brownie looks amazing.
Tina
looked at her with a combination of amusement and annoyance.
You
have eaten them before.
Bette
looked at her, a little surprised by her tone.
I
know, but after the hike up here, Im starving and I didnt know what to expect
from our four legged friends over there, she said, motioning towards the llamas
that carried the lunches up the mountain for the hikers. She looked again at them. Theyre cute.
Tina
lay her lunch aside and began to untie her shoes. She took them off and the socks too. She pressed her feet into the cool grass.
Giving
your feet some air? Bette asked.
Yeah,
theyre still sore from my walk yesterday.
Doing that in sandals wasnt a good idea.

Hey Massmom!
Good to see your name again. Can I personally nominate this story for a fan fiction award? You were sorely overlooked the last time!
This part caused my stomach to drop:
Tina sighed, “Don’t promise anything to me now.â€
“Why?â€
“Because I’m not ready to believe you.â€
But the chocolate kisses returned me to gastronomic balance!
Thanks so much for breaking through the block! Your fans will wait for quality writing.
Just caught up on the last two. It’s good to see you back. You are going to continue, right?
Oh they are sweet and great!
Wow the innocence on the surface and then deep anxiety in the undercurrent you play them well as you move through these sweet well written stories. Thanks so much for the holiday light show.
