Kit reached out to open Bette’s hands, her curiosity peaked. “No, really…what is it?”
Bette quickly turned back away from Kit, and positioned her body so that she was practically laying on top of her hands. “You can’t have it, it’s mine!” She made this statement forcefully, but then as her tears started to fall again, her voice started to shake, her desperation to keep her treasure hidden more apparent. “Please don’t take it from me,” she pleaded with her sister.
Kit immediately backed off, not use to seeing the normally easy going, and generous girl act so withholding and scared, and quickly decided she did not want to upset her any more than she already had. “Okay…okay. It’s cool…I won’t touch it.” She took a deep breath. “I just wanted to say I’m sorry anyway. Okay?” She stood up from the bed. “We good?”
“Yes,” came the murmur from the pillow that Bette had her face jammed into.
“Okay…well then…night.” Kit turned and started walking towards the door.
“Kit?’
She stopped and turned around. “Yeah?”
“I love you.” The soft words came floating up from the little girl with the smooth alto voice.
Kit’s eyes filled with tears. God she loved this girl, even if her presence was a constant reminder that their father had left her mother devastated, so he could fulfill his own happiness and marry Bette’s mother. She couldn’t help it…from the moment that Elizabeth Porter had blinked opened her soulful eyes, and flashed her never ending, toothless smile at her sister, she had won her over, opening her heart, and relieving some of her pain.
“I love you too…baby sis.”
Kit walked out of the room and softly closed the door behind her. Bette smiled in spite of herself, upon hearing one of her favorite endearments coming from her big sister. Once she heard the click of the door, assuring her that she was alone, she pulled her hands out from under her stomach, and slowly opened them. There, resting safely in her palm was the most beautiful seashell she had ever seen.
She didn’t know what kind of a shell it was, she just knew that when she put it up to her ear, she could hear the sound of the ocean, and so much more. She didn’t know what it was about that sound, she just knew that when she heard it, she no longer heard shouting, or her parents endless arguments. She didn’t hear the taunting by the other kids. For a moment in time, she felt relief from the sadness that had invaded her family lately…when she put her lucky seashell up to her ear, she heard love…she felt safe, and hopeful, and because of this, she believed with all her heart, that as long as she had this shell with her, she would be okay, and that happiness would find her.

Welcome back…..hope that this story will continue soon, awesome angle looking forward to more :)
*happy dance*– luck?fate?kismet? – I don’t know — but a new story by Sea is enough to set the positive energy flowing — thanks
Whether it is an ongoing story or a stand alone chapter, I like them all.
Bottom line: you are truly a flexible writer ;-)
How incredibly delightful. Really…you should get these urges more often.
A PLASMA TV: $2000….A TRIP TO HAWAII: $3500…..THIS STORY: PRICELESS….
I don’t believe there’s such a thing as FATE, but I’ll gladly indulged myself with that idea, through your story.
BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN, BEAUTIFUL BEGINNING.
fate(fayt) a power thought to control all events and impossible to resist.
destiny (des-ti-nee) tha which happens to a person or thing, thought of as determined in advance by fate.
Those die hard romantics seem to always believe in fate and destiny. Bette and Tina.. destiny for certain.
Awesome story ;)
so glad to see your story today. Like this opening – how will their paths continue to cross. Also love to see Tina had a family – more please

I am amazed how you have picked up this unwritten times in these characters lives.
This start is fabulous; sentimental without being sickly sweet; honest without being brutal; gentle without being clawing and breathtaking without being shocking.

Hey Seahurst that was so Awesome great Amazing Story I can wait to read more I’m really hooked too thank you Please post soon.
That was so adorable, sweet and beautiful…
Thank you.
I enjoyed your last series, and though I never commented I was really impressed. So far, this story has taking on the perspective of what destiny and fate are all about. I have first hand knowledge of this. My fiance’s and my paths were crossing for many years and never knew it. We came very close once to meeting whilst at college but my dad got sick and I had to fly home that week. Why didn’t we meet after? He was visiting his brother, who was dating my best friend at the time. We had been to many places at the same time without ever meeting each other. We had both gone to Australia and Antigua on vacations with our families the same year and stayed at the same hotels. Weird? I know. I guess when something is meant to be, no matter how hard we fight against it, it will eventually happen. How’d we meet? Cliche – at the gym. We both tried to get on the last available treadmill together. Strange…of all the gyms in Ft. Lauderdale, he and I signed up at the same one. We’ve both taken with the ‘destiny’ of our union and honestly, there is some comefort in knowing that your paths have crossed so many times before. I felt like I knew him before I met him. I don’t know if that makes sense but that’s how I feel. Anyways, I have rambled…a trait I get from my sis. Well do post soon!
This is good story, I like it. Post soon, thanks!
I’m reading:
Do you like to dance?
Put it up to your ear … what you hear?
Both are wonderful!
Congratulations!
You are brilliant and this is about to be another spectacular story
