    Chapter 12 – Weaving Threads

    Having waved Jackie down, Grace sits down as Jackie makes her way across the room. Turning to Tina I know you will like Jackie, she is one of my best business acquaintances. I always enjoy our little talks. She always seems so willing to help me out when I come across a particularly difficult puzzle. I dont know if you know her but she has been through her share of rough roads and still she always seems so level headed. Grace stops talking as Jackie gets close to the table preventing Tina from saying anything in return.

    Getting up Grace hugs Jackie and the two women sit down again as Grace makes the introductions to both Alice and Tina.

    As everyone had their salads in front of them, passing the dressing around Jackie begins to speak, Tina its a pleasure to meet you. I have met Alice before but its nice to see you again. Jackie begins. I understand that Alice is a writer, right?

    Huh, yep I write for LA Magazine. You know it would be interesting to write an article about you Jackie. You seem to have had a lot of life experiences, do you have any kids? Alice asks taking advantage of the opportunity.

    No, Im afraid that I have never been blessed in that way, you? Jackie throws back to the table.

    Well yes, I just had a girl who will be two month old next week. Tina jumps in wanting to get to know this woman better. So how have you found being here in LA after your whole life on the other coast?

    Actually I have to admit the Pacific is so much more than I bargained for. Its beautiful but in a much different way then the Atlantic. The blues in the water and of course the warmer weather. One thing though that I never expected was the wind that seems to always be present when youre on the beach. Having it blow in all the time is so different from the Atlantic. Jackie said as they all continued to make pleasant lunch conversation.

    Alice still trying to uncover information about Jackie continued to ask more questions but became frustrated with Tina as many times she would take the conversation away in a right turn from where Alice was hoping to direct it. Jackie could you tell me what The Motif Yen Valor Foundation is and what its mission is all about? Alice asks trying to get control again.

    Oh certainly, we want to increase the awareness of the plight of the inner city communities with the aim of advancing human welfare. The Foundation hopes that its collective work in any program area could lead toward systematic change. Jackie says nearly repeating the mission statement verbatim.

    Wow that is so in line with what we are trying to accomplish at the Center. Tina says fascinated by the good fortune of meeting Jackie today. Tina begins to tell Jackie about the grant the Center had been awarded from the Peabody Foundation and how it was applied to a youth improvement program in the inner city.

    That is right in line with what we will be hopefully encouraging with our grant moneys. Jackie replies. Will you be applying for any of our grants?

    There you go Tina, we had talked about me giving you a hand why dont I help you write this grant for Jackies foundation? Grace offers.

    Oh my God that would be wonderful. Tina says almost as giddy as a child looking at all the wonderful Christmas presents under the tree.

    2. I like how you wrote the difference in view of the meeting by Alice and Tina. I’ve always thought Tina knew Bette more than Alice, but looks like Alice may know another side of Bette that Tina may not or don’t want to know of.
      I agree with angelak, I hope Tina does not get upset at Bette for ‘controlling’ the situation.
      Can’t wait to see how you play this out.
      Thanks for this chapter….and will it be wistful thinking that I’ll get to read another after my work day?

    4. I like the two different point’s of view in this chapter, Alice’s suspsion is funny and realistic, as well as Tina’s enthusiasm. Great storytelling.

    13. Thanks for the Jackie and Grace characters….genuine people….caring and helping with no hidden agendas….right there with (and for) Tina…GREAT! It’s all about the people who grace your life! Poor Alice….will she ever get it???

    14. I am so intrigued by this plot…I so hope that Tina doesn’t find out that Bette is behind this since she’ll probably misconstrue it as a form of controlling behavior. Can’t wait to see what happens next!
