    Author Notes:

    How much does luck have to do with the outcome of our lives?

    “But Daddy, I left something very important back there! I have to go get it.” Her voice now sounded like a whine.

    “What…go back? Oh no…we are not going back!”

    Bette started to cry. She had to get her seashell! What if she couldn’t find it. She needed that seashell. Her future happiness depended on her having that shell with her!!

    “Please Daddy,” she begged. “I have to have it!!”

    Seeing how upset his daughter was, Melvin looked back toward the log down the beach. “What is it that you left?”

    Bette let out a breath. “It’s my lucky seashell. I have to have it Daddy. I NEED IT!!!”

    Seeing his obviously angry wife in the distance, with her hands on her hips, Melvin scoffed at Bette. “A lucky seashell? That is ridiculous! There is no such thing as a lucky seashell.” He hardened his face and looked down at his daughter. “There is no such thing as luck in this world. Every thing we get, we have to earn for ourselves. That’s why you must be diligent in your education, so that your will be prepared when the right opportunities come along. It will be your brains and your education that will get you everything you want in life…not a dirty seashell!” With that, he tightened his hold on Bette, and started walking towards his very impatient wife.

    Bette started sobbing, trying to dig her heels into the sand, while at the same time, struggling against the fierce hold her father had on her wrist. “NO!!!!!” She screamed. “It’s MY seashell…I NEED MY SEASHELL….PLEASE DADDY, PLEASE DADDY…PLEASE!!!”

    Melvin stopped once again, and this time, very calmly looked at his daughter, and in a low, calculated voice said, “I will not have this type of behavior coming from MY daughter. You will stop crying this instant, and I don’t want to hear one more word out of you concerning this. Is that understood?”

    Knowing her father as well as she did, Bette knew that there was nothing she could do now. If she continued on, she would only succeed in making her life miserable for a very long time. Her father was slow to anger, but once he had reached his limit, you were guaranteed to receive his wrath for a long, long time. Bette understood that her father was now at that limit. Resigned to her fate…believing in her nine year old mind that her chance for happiness was now half buried in the sand, and totally out of her reach, she took one last look toward the log, then lowered her head in defeat, and whispered. “Yes Daddy.”

    5. 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.

    6. 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 ;)

    13. Yay, oh yay…Seahurst has posted another story!!! I love this story angle. As usual, you do it justice. Nice beginning, please continue.

    14. I probably said this about your first story also, but this is GREAT and it will be an exciting BnT adventure! You have made my night…a new story from Sea – YES! It seems to be as special as “IF” and I will look forward to your posts just the same. Thanks Seahurst!!

    18. Woohoo, Seahurst has a new story. Can you hear the cheering?
      As ever it is wonderful.
      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.
      Your characterisations are perfect. I can picture the scenes between Kit and Bette and then Bette and her father.
      And yes, I am totally hooked by it.
      Awaiting your next chapter with much anticipation.
      A loyal fan.

    38. 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!
