FORCE of NATURE
Â
Taking the delicate hand offered, Bette gave it a gentle squeeze and returned the complement. “I see where your daughter and grandson get their disarming smiles… it’s a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Kennard.”Â
Â
The elder woman responded with a melodious laugh. “Oh my…” She shook her head with a smile. “A charmer.” She declared keeping hold of the brunette’s hand.Â
Â
Both women turned towards the sudden rattle of the items on the tray being carried by the young man entering the room. He was the same fellow who had greeted Bette and her daughter upon arriving and escorted Madie to the party venue out on the main back patio. The gallery owner had lingered behind, apologetically, to take her incoming mobile call.Â
Â
“Ms. Vera, I see you snagged one of the parents… should I bring another cup?” He said placing the tea tray on the table in front of the sofa.Â
Â
Vera turned to the brunette. “Would you care to join me?” She nodded towards the view of the outside party. “We can watch the children without being in the middle of the chaos.”
Â
Bette could not help but feel the warmth of the elder woman’s kind spirit and a sense of privilege washed over her from the woman’s desire to have her company. “Thank you.” She said and followed Mrs. Kennard to the sitting area opposite where they stood.
Â
“Philip…” Vera spoke just as the young man turned to exit the room and paused until he had turned back around to give her his full attention. “I believe you forgot something?” She said gesturing toward the tray.
Â
“With all due respect Ms. Vera, your daughter’s threats include my pay check and she instructed me to hold the Crème de menthe until your afternoon tea.” He reported with regret.
Â
“Nonsense…” Vera replied with a wave of her hand. “Leave my daughter to me and do as I ask Phillip.”Â
Â
Vera eased her slender frame onto the sofa and pat the cushion beside her for the brunette to join her. “One of the advantages of being seventy-four years old is being able to impose on others without too much resistance.”Â

Love this story! Everything is so believable, smooth and accurately discribing emotions and situations. Thank you.
I, too, enjoy R F and had hoped you would finish it off with the birth before resuming FoN. All of your stories are brilliant and I’m enjoying reading again about the brunette mommy & the blonde mommy, little Maddie & Anthony, the devious Vera, and Pete, uh, later ;)! PPS!

Oh my, a test of memory, a test that I will probably fail!! If it’s cello music, maybe Bach, but I have a feeling its something else… I think I need a restful weekend at a cabin to job my memory! : )

Hi Sunkissed Love all your stories. R F is my all time favorite, esp the last one, with Tina being pregnant and telling Bette during her concert – soooo good. This one comes close, and I’m enjoying it even more than the first time. TY
