    Bette sipped a cup of hot tea leaning back in her chair holding an old auction catalogue that had hand written notes in the margins, when the desk phone rang. Bette looked up directing her gaze at the phone. She waited, thinking the receptionist would pick it up. The phone stopped ringing and she went back to looking at the catalogue. She then heard clicking in the hall followed by a soft knock at the door.

    ”Ms. Porter?” A stout woman peeked her head through the door.

    ”Yes,” Bette looked up again. ”Over here Rose.”

    Rose entered the room further to look in the back towards the direction of the voice, she smiled as she caught Bette’s eye, ”Ms. Kennard is on hold.”

    Bette gave a surprised look as she reached for her cell. Bette’s brows furrowed when she saw that her phone had died. ”Thank you, and go ahead and put her through.”

    The receptionist smiled again, nodded her head shutting the door with a soft click.

    The desk phone rang again, just as she stood up from plugging in her cell phone. She quickly reached over and picked up the phone, ”Hey Babe.”

    ”Are you okay? Tina inquired, ”Your office has been trying to get a hold of you.” Tina let out a worried breath, ”I took the chance that you would be working on your project and gave the Gallery a call.”

    Bette looked over at her phone as the pinging sound of missed calls and texts messages began to go off. ”Fuck!” She hung her head and shook it. ”My phone died,” she said with remorse slipping through her voice.

    ”Dani, said to tell you to call Paul if I found you.”

    Bette looked at her watch. He is probably home asleep by now, she thought. ”Okay, Babe. I am packing up now. I should be home for dinner.

    ”I am running late too. Dinner is in the fidge just put it in the oven at 350 and I will be home to pull it out.”

    ”Okay, see you at home… Love ya.” What am I doing, Bette thought as she hung up the phone. ”I have responsibilities,” she said out loud to an empty room.

    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.
