Hunting for Love
Bette was beginning to get uncomfortable, so she adjusted some pens on her desk, and pulled a smile simply to give the impression that everything was fine. She simply wanted the woman to leave her be so she could try and comprehend the feeling their meeting gave her. “I’m sorry. I really do need to finish my work.”
“And the way you carry yourself … I … you’re such an inspiration to me. I just … had to meet you …”
The girl’s cheeks looked pink and heated. Her posture wasn’t as firm, and so Bette interrupted before anything more was spoken. “I’m married, Tina.” It sounded strange for her to say it, but Bette shook her head and kept on: “Happily so.”
She scooped up some things to take home with her, and walked around her desk to approach her visitor.
“I’m sorry, I’ve made you uncomfortable,” the girl said with eyes that looked saddened even in their encouraging depths. Bette let out a heavy sigh, and put her free hand up on her hip.
“Listen, I’m … it’s fine. I’m just tired, and it’s really time I went to sleep.”
“You mean … you don’t live here?” Tina teased, lightly and without over-emphasis.
Bette caught the tease, opening her door just the same to gesture for their leave. “You’re a funny girl. Now, I’ve really gotta get home, and I’m sure the same goes for you. It’s getting late.”
The girl smiled, beaming in her subtle way as Bette locked up her office, and held out her hand.
“It was nice meeting you.”
“Pleasure’s all mine,” the woman answered, picking her voice up just higher than a whisper – her words scraping through the distance between them. The words seemed scattered, and Bette was confused as to the connection between them, but she felt it. Whatever it was.
“I uh … I have to go.” And with that, Bette took her hand back, and headed down the hall.
“Goodnight,” the woman said as she watched Bette walk off, more to herself than anything. “Sweet dreams …”

“Oh, fff … Ugh,” Tina grumbled, dropping one of the oven mitts as she opened the stove. Laughing to herself at her clumsiness just as she heard the door open up behind her. “Hey, hunny.”
Bette breathed out at length, and put her things down at the door to accentuate her exhaustion and frustration with the day.

Intriguing!
Intriguing ! Great start.
Very different, i am curious where you will take us.
A story from you is a fitting gift on V-Day or any day. What a treat to wake up to my emails telling me a favorite author has posted. The FANFIC FAVES feature is awesome!
A couple of thoughts given that you have identified it as a thriller. I don’t know if there will be a supernatural element, but my first thought was the “Tina” is a doppelganger,perhaps from an alternative universe. But if there is no supernatural intended, I thought she’s one of those deranged “fans’ that stalk the person they are obsessed with. But then your description of the “Tina” – “The hair was thick but damaged, with long, winding curls that suited the masculine curve of the woman’s jaw – the roundness of her face.” She sounds a little wild…maybe not human?
Okay, just some thoughts and I’m happy to read along and be thrilled by your thriller.
Thanks, GR!

I am so happy that I found the site again. The site was greatly missed even if it was only a few days. Great job Jacky et al with the transfer. It’ll take a little bit to learn the navigation but then it will be awesome.
GR is rocking my world right now.
