Bette delayed graduating for a quarter due to the complexities of her thesis and the desire to spend more time with Laura before she graduated. Bette didn’t know what would happen when she was done. Laura still had a year to go in her PhD program, so she wasn’t leaving. Bette’s father wanted her back in Philadelphia and the young Bette still did not have the resolve to stand up to him. Bette was still looking for the approval from her father. She naively thought since she did so well with her thesis and academically graduated top in her class, her father would not make issue of her chosen lifestyle. Bette had greatly misread her father and she realize her mistake the minute she introduced Laura. Melvin was harsh, contentious and had a patronizing tone coupled with constant disappointment in his eyes. Bette not knowing how to manage such strong disapproving behavior from her father, fell into her usual response, bending to his will. Laura had stood up and walked out of the restaurant. Melvin had put Bette in a situation she had never experienced before and did not know what to do. Bette remember how Melvin just sat quietly and sipped his wine as if nothing had happened. Bette sighed as she recalled crossing the gravel driveway, trying to catch up with Laura. Bette shut her eyes as she once again felt the resentment towards her father and how it had shifted to sadness and back again. At the time she thought she should have just told her father that she was attracted to woman before introducing Laura. She didn’t understand why she felt the need to keep it a secret? But down deep, she new why, she would no longer be his perfect daughter to show off and brag about. Bette would no longer meet the ridiculously high expectations because she was not in the mold he deemed appropriate. Bette sighed when she recalled stopping for a minute, bracing herself against a pole to empty the gravel out of her sandals. When she lifted her eyes Bette saw Laura sitting in her car with her head down. Bette had not realized at the time the high price Melvin demanded for his approval. Little did she know that she would find herself in the same situation with Tina years later and responding in an unexpected similar manner.

Hey Lady,
WooHoo!!!!! You posted!!!!!
Can’t wait to read your update & welcome back!!!!
Will get to it this weekend – I promise!!!
I am so excited for you!!!!
Will comment soon.
All the best my friend.
Hi! I write again when i read it full, but i remember the history about this two exhibition – i remember that amount of people who attended the second exhibition ”Degenerate art” was huge, much more than approved by nazi ”German Art ”
P.S. Thank you for the new (continuation) story!
Hey SuperK,
Again, welcome back to the site. You have been missed.
Glad to see the continuation of this story. Love them being back together.
So it seems there will be lots if twists & turns to this part of the story.
Hope this memory of Laura doesn’t interfere with the Tibette relationship this time around.
I have viewed many shows on this subject of the missing art & where many of the pieces still might be that haven’t been recovered yet. Very interesting.
So glad to see James back & in partnership again with Bette. They were a very good team.
Hope Bette & Tina keep the lines of communication open & avoid some of the earlier pitfalls of their relationship.
Looking forward to how this will all unfold.
Thanks so much!!!
Hey, you’re back … excellent !
Interesting story, can’t wait to know more.
This is a very interesting story plot line….. a missing painting from the Nazi era…. the convergence of the subject matter being so coincidently landing at Bette doorstep at the same time….
I’m afraid that I will have go back and reread the prior story as I simply do not remember what time frame this story is taking place nor what Bette and Tina’s relationship is with each other than they are together and that they seem to be infatuated with each other.
A mature stable couple would never have a problem with a lover prior to their relationship which occurred 20 to 25 years ago particularly when the other party is dead. So unlike other commenters, I could see no more problems with this Laura character for Tina anymore than I could see Eric being a problem for Bette. They are a part of their history which is long past….
I see that this is a golden opportunity for Bette and Tina to work as a team on a project which they both have a mutual interest in – Bette in the art world and its preservation and Tina in the movie script for potential production.
Thank you for this beginning….
Hey welcome back,
Interesting start and i am hooked.
Like Tina, what a coincidental for all that to happen now and Tina got a script exactly a year before?
I love to read about the WWII and especially about the Nazi’s.
Delighted to see a new story from you.
I have reread the whole story of Love Loss and Living and completely enjoyed it, thank you. Now I am really keyed up for this new adventure and trust my favourite couple will be taking the journey together.
Looking forward to more posts.
Super K
I am really happy to see this chapter for several reasons. First, I love that you are back and more wonderful than ever and secondly this is such an intriguing plot that I can’t wait to see where you take it. I agree with Martha that there should not be any concern from a relationship that happened so long ago but I am sure there are twists and turns to come as you research and write more. For now, I will bask in the knowledge that there is more to come and enjoy the ride you are taking us on. Peace my friend and for the sake of our escapism please write more!
