    Author Notes:

    Tina set down her cell phone furrowing her brows. Bette had hung up the phone before she had a chance to say good bye. She thought how different Bette had been acting lately. Hanging up quickly was a little thing, but to not let anyone know where she was going, let alone forget to charge

    Tina set down her cell phone furrowing her brows. Bette had hung up the phone before she had a chance to say good bye. She thought how different Bette had been acting lately. Hanging up quickly was a little thing, but to not let anyone know where she was going, let alone forget to charge her cellphone these were very out of character for Bette and very concerning, Tina thought.

    *********

    Later the following week, Bette sat staring out her office window. Tina had flown to New York a few days earlier and wouldn’t be back till the end of the week which left her and Angie on their own.  Shane invited both to dinner at Dana’s but Bette suspected there was something more to the invite. Bette turned towards the door when she heard a knock.

    ”Hi mom. Are you ready to go?” Angie said as she walked into the room with a beaming smile.

    ”Yes I am, but you are bit early?” Bette said, smiling as she thought how Angie had embraced and perfected the Porter smile. ”Looks like they are going to be keeping both your mom’s and your cars.  I guess you get to drive the Tesla for another day.” 

    ”Really!  Poor me,” Angie said as a rise smile grew across her face.  ”Well at least something is going right. I wasn’t feeling very inspired today and my art teacher, Ms. Payne, said don’t push creativity, so I quit for the day.”

    ”I have to agree with her. I have been around a lot of artist and I have learned that creativity can be weird and kind of magical. You really can’t push a button and BAM make something creative happen.” Bette paused and shook her head as she continued. ”I’ve seen stressed out artist have the life sucked out of them and their ideas because people put pressure on them to produce something. Unfortunately performing creatively on the spot is a huge part of our culture and art is not exempt.”

    ”She told me to get a journal and write down things I see that surprise me and why. Ms. Payne said that forcing yourself to be creative can backfire and journaling can be a way to look at and dissect things that may lead to inspiration,” Angie said plopping herself on the couch in Bette’s office.

    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.
