    Author Notes:

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

    Bette nodded, stunned, very conscious of the fact Helena was holding her hands,

    “He works the gondolas,” Helena explained, “his name’s Franco and I met him one afternoon when I was walking around Naples waiting for a friend,” she stopped to stare at Bette directly, “will you take a ride with me?”

    Bette stumbled, “Oh … er … Helena, I don’t know,” she paused and looked at her feet, “I don’t really like boats,”

    “Well that’s good,” Helena cried, already taking off in the direction of them, “because they’re not ‘really’ boats,”

    ~

    They took a gondola across the water, Bette growing ever more fearful as Helena lurched from side to side, rocking the narrow boat as she leant over to peer into the water,

    “Relax.” Helena stopped shuffling around and smiled at her, she took Bette’s hands into her lap as they approached the centre of Naples, “Isn’t it pretty?”

    Bette had to admit the waterways were unique, making her feel like they’d driven a lot further than just into a different district of Los Angeles,

    “Helena …?” Bette started to ask a question, then stopped, seeing the fleeting look of darkness that passed across Helena’s eyes, silently begging her not to,

    Helena replied, resigned, “Yes?”

    Bette smiled and squeezed her hands, “Nothing,”

    After they got off the gondola Helena dragged her up to see the fountain in the centre of Naples, drawing attention from all around as she took off her shoes and hopped in, splashing Bette with water as she stood there looking horrified,

    “Helena …! Helena! … Get out, you can’t do that!”

    Helena laughed and splashed her more, “Oh come on Bette, haven’t you ever been spontaneous,”

    Bette’s eyebrows furrowed, feeling herself grow embarrassed as passers by looked on, Helena stopped splashing and sat herself down on the second tier of the fountain, water cascading around her.

    She folded her arms across her chest and crossed her legs, swinging them slightly, her face staring pointedly back at Bette as if going beyond what was necessary to prove her point,

    Bette huffed around in front of her, realising the more she protested the more Helena would stay there, climbing higher perhaps, or taking off all her clothes and submerging herself for a swim. Bette felt her heart rate increasing, utterly thrilled and equally irked at the same time by the supremely infuriating woman.

    1. i f**ing love this story, it reminds me a little of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in the best possible way, and it being one of my favorite movies of all time, this is a good thing…i love how the characters are bridging the strange terrain between them, how bette’s being just very easily moved beyond her control issues, and how helena is being forced to communicate, not forced in a bad way, just nudged along…very very lovely writing, i want mooooooooooooore! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

    4. Things are always interesting when Peggy shows up. I enjoy her but I hope she doesn’t put too much of the kibash on the budding romance. Or whatever it is. See? You’ve still got me wondering.

    7. Ahhh O.K., still no answers to all the questions…just more intrigue and strange behaviour. Helena does have Mommy issues, even in this story it seems, but it still seems like there’s another cause for Helena’s problem besides Peggy. Now, is Helena really attracted to Bette, or is Bette just a life line for her in her current state? I’m hoping Dr. Kennard will see Helena’s dependency on Bette and that will be the catalyst for introducing Bette and Tina. Oh hell, this is your story…I’ll just wait and read your version! Great update Sofa.

    9. Seems slightly like a nerves breakdown. Itss going to get better. Peggy is in town. In my mind they will be good friends. Still waiting for Ms Hottie in heels. thanks

    10. It keeps getting better and more intrigueing. I like the slow build and the character development but I can’t wait for everything to be revealed. I’m going to cosign on the comment from toby4ever…
