    Author Notes:

    Insight: The capacity to discern the true nature of a situation …

    “You ‘are’ aware nowhere decent on Melrose opens till ten?” Alice asked, thinking maybe Bette had lost her mind,

    “We went window shopping,” Bette sighed dreamily, “it was nice,”

    “Nice …!” Alice cried down the phone incredulously, “nice …? … Bette!”

    Bette smirked, “What?”

    “Did you at least find out what she does?” Alice asked, hoping for a tasty morsel of gossip or two,

    “Nope …” Bette answered her quickly, starting to think that perhaps it didn’t matter to her what Helena did, even that it might be a disappointment, taking away the intrigue that surrounded her and the mystery which made her seem special, “it must pay well though,” Bette added, “she has great boots,”

    Alice huffed though lack of anything better to say, “Boots indeed,”

    “You can ask her tomorrow Al,” Bette reasoned, eager to get off the phone and start her work,

    “She’s coming?”

    “She’s coming,”

    “Yay!” Alice exclaimed excitedly, “make sure she doesn’t back out!”

    Bette agreed, “I’ll try,”

    ~

    She didn’t see Helena again that day, making it impossible to keep her promise to Alice that she’d ensure the brunette was coming. Instead she spent the evening working on her grant proposal and tidying up the apartment in preparation for her housewarming event the following night.

    Across the courtyard Helena sat curled into an armchair in the dark, watching Bette as she moved paintings around and then stood back, looking at their position with the rest. Her eyes danced around in the dark, trying desperately to focus on the book in her lap, willing her body to want to settle enough to read it.

    ~

    “Someone’s here!” Alice shouted, leaping up and running to the front door. She opened it to find Dana and Marina, standing together with a case of beer and a bunch of flowers for Bette, “Bette …” Alice shouted, “guests!”

    Bette was trying on a third shirt up in her bedroom, unsure why it was she felt the need to look appealing when it was only their usual friends and a few others she expected to be coming. She peered through the crack in the blinds, hoping to see some sign of life over at Helena’s but found nothing, it looked the same as it had all the day before, eerie and lifeless, she hadn’t even seen her duck out for a cigarette.

    2. Somehow I knew Helena would wait for a more private party with Bette. I love all the mystery. Helena seems deeply wounded and lost, almost as though she is searching for an identity. I wonder if she’s really a writer? Oh, the intrigue… I hope you are able to post again soon – I still have too many questions! Great job, SS!

    4. Well, that clarified everything. Bette is gay. Does Helena have a little chemical imbalance or something? She seems a little manic. Or something. And the good Doctor seems rather a shrink. Well, all conjecture as the mystery deepens.

    7. And the intrigue just keeps building! O.K. I’m going out on a limb here and say Dr Kennard is Helena’s psychiatrist…because Helena is either nuts or suffering some sort of depression. Perhaps something very traumatic has happened to her…loved one lost maybe??? Wow, I hope we get another post tomorrow!

    8. hey Sofa, just catching up, this is very intresting, I was lost after the first chapter, after the 2nd. I thought there would be a love triangle and wondered what marina knows not I’m wondering what Marina knows because nobody at the party made her come clean. Waiting for the next chapter, get well soon. Thank you. Md

    9. This is just absolutely outstanding! I’m hanging on every word! Doesn’t happen often! Geez! The mysterioso (is that a word?…don’t care) is just … gawwwwwwwwwwwwwd….outstanding!…I’m sorry…but you just rock the hell outta most anything i’ve ever read! Ummm…hope you feel better! Get well soon! And keep on keepin’ on! Wow! Just Wow! I think you’ve left me blabbering…
