What happened last night was an eye opener for me, and I love you too much to continue having these disagreements and arguments with you. I need time, time to figure out what I need to do, I need to find out not only what is best for me, but if what’s best for me is the best thing for you.

I love you, never ever doubt that, I just need a little time, please, give me sometime, to get my head together, I love you and I will talk to you soon.

Love Always your

T xx

2 months later…

Bette looked at her image in the mirror, one more time.

‘Something isn’t right’ she thought as she adjusted the dress one more time, she checked her makeup ’Oh my god I look like a drag queen, I should have just done it myself’ Bette said out loud suddenly there was a knock on the door.

“Come in she yelled”

“Elizabeth Nicole Porter, you look lovely”

“Thanks daddy” Bette formed a smile on her face.

“The Limousine is here and is ready to take us to the church your sister just called me and she says the church is packed with your friends and business associates.”

“That’s nice” Bette said softly

“I’ll be waiting outside, don’t take too much longer you shouldn’t be late”

“I won’t daddy I’ll be right out” Bette forced a smile

She looked in the mirror one more time and adjusted the white wedding gown she wore, she knew she was doing the right thing for all the wrong reasons, sure Justin was nice man, she had known him for years, she might even say she loved him she could settle in a life with him that could bring her joy, contentment, and security but could she ever be truly happy with him? Could she ever fall truly and madly in love with him?

Bette knew the answer to that it was simply ‘No’ she had only ever loved one person with all her heart and soul she had only given herself  completely to another and that person had broken her heart and devastated her soul.

Bette was taken out of her thoughts by a knock on the door.

“Elizabeth, we need to go” Melvin shouted through the door.

“I’m coming”

She grabbed her clutch and picked up her flowers as she headed out the door the white limo was parked outside her house, she was getting in with her dad right behind her when Sonia our maid yelled out to daddy.

“Mr. Porter it’s you office they say it’s important!” Sonia yelled as she held up the phone for daddy.

“I need to get this Elizabeth, we’re working on a very important case.”

“Daddy it’s my wedding day and you promised no working today”

“I know sweetheart just this one call, I promise why don’t you head down to the church, I’ll meet you there I can drive myself”

“We can wait daddy we still have time”

“You go on I promise I’ll be there, you mustn’t be late”

“Fine”

Bette got in the limo as the driver closed the door.

They began driving as Bette looked out the window on this day that should have been the happiest day of her life she felt empty and sad, she felt so alone, tears threaten to fall, when she noticed they were driving in the wrong direction.

“Driver we’re going the wrong way” Bette spoke

She noticed the privacy glass was up, and the driver probably couldn’t hear her, so she hit the button to lower the glass.

“Driver we’re going the wrong way”

The driver did not respond.

Bette looked in the rearview mirror and that’s when she saw the hazel eyes she thought she never see again.

“Tina?”
