Driving — Chapter 28
“I’m starving, how about you?”
“Definitely, let’s look at the menu.”
As they both read the menu, Tina thought about her conversation with Alice. Some of those questions would need answers soon and Tina didn’t know how long they had here together.
“What are you having, T?”
“Uh, the cinnamon oatmeal.”
“Mmmm” Bette nodded, never lifting her eyes from the menu.
Tina looked at her. “Bette, how long are you staying?”
Bette looked up, puzzled. “Why are you asking? I’ll stay as long as you want me to”
Tina smiled. “I mean, when does your reservation end?”
“I’m in no hurry to leave.”
“That’s not what I asked.”
“Sunday.”
Tina nodded and thought to herself, “Today and tomorrow.”
“We don’t have a deadline, do we? I can extend my stay, or you can come home with me.” She gave Tina a hopeful look.
Tina almost said, “I don’t know” but then said, “Let’s see, OK?”
It wasn’t the answer Bette wanted, but she nodded. She wondered what Tina was thinking.
“What about today?” Tina said.
Bette’s smile returned. “I’m so glad you asked. I had James arrange an appointment for us with Charlotte Rowe. She used to run galleries in New York and Santa Fe, and now she just has this giant sculpture garden outside Taos. I’ve never been there and it’s by appointment only. Her taste is exquisite; I can’t wait to see what she has and what I can bring to LA.”
Tina listened and noticed how Bette’s face glowed when she began to talk about this place. Part of Tina resented the way Bette had planned the day and assumed that Tina would come along, but the other part of Tina knew from experience that if Bette felt something was worthwhile, it usually was. With Tina’s blistered foot still healing, a ride was a better option anyway.
And so they went.
***
Charlotte Rowe was warm and soft spoken and utterly without pretense.

OMG! I can’t believe that I’m going to have to wait for the next chapter…damn! Please don’t take so long next time! I have missed your writing!
I love the sense I get from your story of observing a mature passion between two grown women (not girls).
It’s always well drawn, always well realized. You share with SNS the ability to convey a definite sense of place. I am there in Taos with them, moment by moment, feeling every varying emotion.
My comments feel inadequate to the task of praising the excellence of your work.
Each new chapter you post is like a rare gem: precious.
I thank you for posting again.
Where is your fanfic award?
Jwet: What is HMS?
HotMoistSex?
HeavyMetalSex?
HomeMadeSex?
Something else starting with ‘S’, besides ‘Sex’?
Help a sistah out…
WOW! Did my day just get a whole lot better!
I am in awe, as always. I love your work. Although I’ll say “I can’t wait” for the next chapter, clearly I can. It may be painful, but I’ll wait….
M.
Suffice to say, You Rock! ;-)

Excellent story. I’m fairly new to it but I was quickly hooked. I look forward to the next update.
Just finished the last of the chapters. This story is great. I love how the relationship between them is playing out.
Hot stuff coming!!!!!!!!!!
Why head back when they’ve got an expanse of deep, dark desert. (just gotta watch for that ‘sand up the wazoo’).
