    Author Notes:

    Bette glanced over at Angie and gave her a half smile that did not reach her eyes. ”No, nothing is wrong,” she said in an unconvincing tone. ”Just thinking about your mom.” ”I spoke with mom earlier today and she seemed fine. Did something happen?” Angie tilted her head and furrowed her brows with her

    Bette glanced over at Angie and gave her a half smile that did not reach her eyes. ”No, nothing is wrong,” she said in an unconvincing tone. ”Just thinking about your mom.”

    ”I spoke with mom earlier today and she seemed fine. Did something happen?” Angie tilted her head and furrowed her brows with her inquiry.

    ”No, you know I worry too much when your mother is traveling,” Bette said trying to remove Angie’s obvious concern. She looked troubled and Angie could see it. Bette had been struggling with hiding concerns about Tina going to New York from Angie. Not only was she having her usual insecurities about Tina leaving, but there were now a lot of worries in the air about a virus that seemed to be spreading. She didn’t know what to make of what was happening at the New York Gallery, maybe rescheduling was a better idea she thought. There were really no clear answers and this situation was completely unexpected. The last thing she wanted was someone getting sick because she didn’t take precautions, but the logistics of rescheduling an art show at the last minute was complicated without a clear reason why. And then there was Tina. It’s not like she could demand that Tina come home because she was worried. Bette looked over at Angie. She gave Angie a thin smile and then turned her eyes back to the road.

    Angie gave Bette a reassuring smile back and then put in her earbuds and turned on her music. She stared out the window watching the scenery go by. She had been hearing a lot recently about this bad flu that was making its way through the schools. Her friend Cheryl had been out of school for a few days now and her family would not allow visitors. All for a flu, it just didn’t make sense to her.

    Bette and Angie walked into Dana’s an hour later and headed to their regular table. Shane saw them walk in from behind the bar. She flagged Tess to take over and then headed over towards Angie and Bette.

    1. Nice chapter…. now we know a little more about Bette. She is obsessing over finding this painting project. She misses her younger days when risk were never factored in to her decision…. don’t we all. However, some of us realize that not evaluating the risk can be dangerous to our well being. That is what happens when you gain a spouse and a child and a profession in which you are in charge. Its call accepting adult responsibilities.

      Despite what Bette thinks, she is still that young woman she was in college. She had just allowed common sense to rule rather than excitement and adventure.

      I’m concerned about this virus…. no help in New York, Shane is short staffed and much of Tina’s production is shut down. The curtain is about to drop on their public lives. Hopefully they can operate from home for a while and have some time to gain a real understanding of what split Bette and Tina up and what they need to do to have a secure long term life together.

      Love to see more….. chapter too short….

    2. Good chapter. We all make choices, don’t we? And many of us reach a point where we revisit those exciting times when we were younger. That’s natural. And, Bette had an exciting life to be sure. It’s fine that Bette has found something that so excites her and reminds her of that time as long as she keeps it in perspective. She can’t let it get away from her. As Martha says she has responsibilities. And the virus is coming. Well done.

      Thanks so much for the feedback. I am really trying to stay true to their ages and weave in some of the complex issues we go through as we age.

      Reflection and regret are probably the two biggies. I am glad you are enjoying this story. It is different for sure, but I do plan a surprise at the end.

    4. This is a great chapter, Supe. It advances the plot and fills in some background info to explain motivation and decision making. You are the first to tackle THE virus so kudos to that (unless I missed someone else writing about it?) and I imagine that will play a bigger part as we continue through the story. It’s a good way to force them being together and spending time dissecting what went wrong. Keep writing – you mentioned some new techniques, can you share what you changed? I have some theories but want to see where you were headed with that. Looking forward to more!

    5. Hi SK,

      Great update & the story is starting to take shape.

      We all have introspect at a certain time in our lives & it seems that Bette is at that stage at the moment. And is Tina’s concern for the changes she sees in Bette foreshadowing of things to come??

      Covid – courageous of you to tackle. Proteonomics also included it in her story – Lockdown – which she started last May. It is a challenging topic & cheers to you for attempting to include it in your story. And how will Covid affect their relationship ?

      So glad you included James in the scene at Dana’s!!

      Looking forward to how this all plays out.

      Great job.
