“It’s way past your bedtime,” I said, dropping kisses on her head, “Way way past your bedtime.”
She giggled, wrapping her little arms around me, “I know…but I wanted to stay with you…”
We lay in silence, watching the shadows of the trees dance across the ceiling.
“Come on you,” I said, sitting up and scooping her off the bed, “It’s time for you to go to bed.”
I carried Becky into her room and tucked her in, “I love you.”
“I love you, Mama,” she replied, “You ok now?”
“I’m ok now, sugarpop. Go to sleep now alright? You’ve got school tomorrow.”
I switched off the light and left her bedroom door slightly ajar. Even at her tender age, she had a protective instinct, a quality that Bette possessed and I was glad had been passed on to our little girl.
I walked back into my bedroom and sat on the floor, deciding to sort out the mail I had neglected earlier.
Bill, bill, advertisement, bill, take-out menu, bill…then a cream envelop addressed to me; the handwriting was unfamiliar. I set the rest of the mail down and traced the elaborate cursive lettering with my fingertips. Was this Bette’s third letter?
I flipped it over and gently tore it open, carefully unfolding the pages to find myself looking at Bette’s familiar penmanship. I laughed to myself as I leaned back onto the side of my bed; I was still healing from the task she had set me out to do with her second letter.
“I still remember our first kiss,” Bette wrote, I could hear her voice in my mind, “That look of anticipation and fears in your eyes. Your nearness was intoxicating and I was completely drawn into you. You were my strength, you were always my strength. After Tina, I never thought I would love again…then there was you. Oh, my love, how unexpectedly you came into my life. I long thought my heart had iced over; how you opened my heart to love, to passion and to fear again. Those emotions I never could imagine to feel again. But that what love is, Helena, love is unexpected. Love will only come into your life if you open yourself up to it. And I want you to be happy, beyond anything I could hope to possess of you, I want your happiness. Living a life of solitude after I’m gone isn’t what I want to see you do. I hope that you will find love in your life again, my darling. You were my forever…the ending of my life story, but I am just one chapter in yours. There is so much more to live for, to love for. When Becky grows up and make her own way through life, I want you to have someone by your side. So this is what I want you to do for me. Baby steps, darling, baby steps. I want you to go out on a date.”

Primaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa you actually wrote a new chapter and very appy about that and happy for you that you will soon fulfil your dream of going to Culinary Cooking School. This was a very moving chapter because Bette once again opened Helena to start a life without her, to start to date to see things with someone else cause she had more chapters more in her life without Bette. Bette would never leave her on account that Becky was actually her mirrired image. BUt being a mother was not everything and Bette knew that, that is why she wanted her to date and that didnt mean thier friends,,LOL. I am still thinking that Tasha is just someone who will help her but be the love she will need, I am thinking that’s its,,,,,,,,Tina! Wishful thinking okay;) Great chapter Prima, love ya!
hello dear euni, glad to see you’re back and continuing this story. You were truly missed :) It’s hard to see Helena move on with her life without Bette in it but she is too young to stay on her own. I truly can’t see her with asha though, I have nothing against her but I don’t see any chemistry between those two. I agree with Patty though Tina on the other hand ……. LOLPS Good luck with your studies, I’m convinst you will be a great pastry chef :)
I don’t understand why people think that someone has to be in love to be happy….if Helena can be happy alone so be it. I don’t agree with pushing someone into doing something their not ready for and I really don’t want Helena ending up with Tina. A life of boredom is not a good thing….lol.
so happy to see your post…missed this story…really enjoyed the update… if H can’t be with B, i can roll with Tasha, she embodies similar strengths as B..which could form the attraction…but who wants to be the rebound chic….especially when it’s rebounding from a special kinda love like B and H…looking forward to where you take us….Cheers
Okay, I read this story a while ago and when I saw that you were back had to go through and read it again before commenting. Absolutely love it. So many emotions over the past two nights. Thank you so much for continuing.
I’m happy to know that things are going well with you. School can be tough at times, but I know you are up to the task. I really love this story, but damn it’s hard to read. I guess that’s what makes it so good. Until your next chapter, take care of yourself.
Another emotion evoking chapter, euni. But I really don’t wanna cry so early in the morning. I’m so glad you’re going to finish this before scooting off to your sweet future. T minus how many days and counting? Wishing you all my best, dear one. :)
GOD, wht a big heart Bette had? Helena will never forger Bette but at least she can open her heart to love again. It hurts me to see Helena without Bette but Bette wouldn’tnot like Helena to stay by herself all her life. I hope Becky will know about her other mother tho. PPVS
Salut, petite et chere niéce Euni! *waving* We are sooo happy that you posted an update on your story. *doing happy dance* We think it was about time for Hel to move on. 7 years or mourning is enough time for grieving. Sooo, Tasha is the one, huh? Hmmm Well, you are the writer and you know how to make our hearts swell, dearest niece of ours. Can’t wait for your next installment. As for your dream coming to life next month, we are SO proud of you! Yaaayyy!!! Go, Euni Go! PPS Hugs and tender kisses on both your cheeks. Much love your way, Your Aunties Lu & Marsh
Every time Helena gets another letter, I start getting misty eyed. Dating, huh? A few dates won’t hurt. I had actually wondered throughout the call, who Hels had phoned, Tina or Tasha? I do think going out with Tasha could help the both of them. How many more “dinners” they have remains to be seen. Even if it doesn’t go anywhere, Tasha, I think, will always be a friend. And then, there’s Tina… ;) I’m glad you’re back euni, I hope school goes really well for you. Thanks for posting. :)
Hey E, this was a good chappie i thought the woman would be Tina not Tasha. Life is full of surprises I guess, great update.Btw you know playing by heart? I dont know what were going to do with it.do you?
