Bette gave Fiona a shocked look, then shook her head and smiled as she looked over at James. ”What is it about this time period that has everyone so interested?”
”It’s the Gurlitt discovery.” Fiona said giving a rise smile.
”Okay. The 2012 discovery of over one thousand pieces of artwork at the home of the son of Hildebrand Gurlitt.” Bette said shaking her head in a knowing manner.
”Yeah, it got everyone going. There has been so much talk about the 200–300 pieces that are suspected of being looted art. Since some of which may have been exhibited in the Degenerate Art exhibition held by the Nazis before World War II, people have been talking about the missing pieces. Everyone is now fascinated by that period and what the Nazi’s did. Your research and subsequent paper regarding some of the missing pieces is infamous in the academic circle, even though it was written when you were a student. I am surprised you didn’t know of its esteem and about the recent discussions it has evoked.” Fiona stated with a surprised look on her face.
Bette, Fiona and James got lost in the conversation about the looted Art. Bette was brought out of the conversation by a text from Tina.
”I am leaving now, should be at the restaurant in a half hour. Don’t be late, I have plans and don’t want dinner to run too late.”
Bette smiled at the phone. ”I would love to continue with this discussion, but my girlfriend has informed me that I am not to be late.” Bette smiled at her two companions as she continued, ”I will think about your proposition, Fiona. Running the Peabody Art Foundation keeps me pretty busy, but teaching about this subject peaks my interest.” Bette stood, gave James a hug and shook Fiona’s hand. Bette grabbed her purse and headed towards the door. She slowed long enough to to text Tina.
”I am on my way, Babe.”
30 minutes later Bette watched the numbers go up one by one as she stood in the elevator waiting for her floor. She shifted the dozen burgundy and white Calle Lilies wrapped in brown paper from one arm to the next as she adjusted her purse that was slung over her shoulder. The elevator dinged and opened into a 360 degree breathtaking view of downtown Los Angeles. Bette knew this restaurant well, as it was one of her favorites. The romantic atmosphere always a precursor to a long night of love making. Bette walked up to the Maitre D and gave the name Tina Kennard. He led her to a window table. Tina had not arrived, so Bette placed her purse under the table and the flowers across from her. As she waited she thought more about the envelope she received earlier in the day. It took her back to the last time she saw the owner of the contents, Laura Morgan. She was a teaching assistant at Yale and Bette’s first Lesbian relationship. She had lovers, but never more than passing trysts. It was her relationship with Laura that brought her out as a full fledge Lesbian and it was the first time she put her desire for approval from her father, Melvin Porter, above her relationship with another woman.

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!
