    Chapter 27

    Chapter 27
    The water moved  toward the shore in constant undulation.
    It climbed up the beach, leaving slightly different patterns in the sand each time. When the water receded back, it sucked back a layer of sand with it. You could easily hear the sand sizzling from the salt of the ocean each time the water caressed the shore.
    It was a give and take between the water and the sand: the water took a layer away but brought it back the next time around.
    Bette let out a quiet sigh as she kept her eyes on the shore line. She had taken shelter under the shade of a palm tree and was sitting alone on the deserted soft white sandy beach. 
    The days were filled with sunshine and nights were balmy and warm only made bearable because of the gentle sea breezes.  She looked out to sea and marvelled at Nature’s colour display.
    Gone were the reds, oranges and burnt Sienna of the Savannah.
    Everything here was blue and white. On the horizon, the ocean was  a deep cobalt blue, followed by a brilliant aquamarine . Right up next to the shore where the rocks began, the water was a velvet purple, so dark it almost looked black. 
    If a rare cloud happened to cover the sun for a few seconds, the water took on emerald and turquoise hues.
    She studied the sea birds’ ballet  up in the distance in the sky and only guessed what had attracted the incessant diving birds. A shoal of fish no doubt.
    The offshore reefs were alive with coral, myriad of tropical creatures, sea turtles and dolphins. A bountiful offering for the hungry birds.
    It was her own private island, her own little bit of paradise, secluded, safe and tranquil. All that was needed, right now, to forget the events of the previous days.
    A lump formed in her throat at the thought of it. It made her turn her head towards the sumptuous beach house behind her. 
    Her second home, which had originally been her father’s first choice for a house when they had left America after her mother’s death. He had wanted a secluded spot, away from everything, a quiet retreat for reflection and thought.

    2. You put us in the scene w/your very first sentence. “The water moved toward the shore in constant undulation.” You insist that you’re not a professional writer, so I’ll just say that you have some “mad skillz” as the rappers say. I will be totally saddened when this story is over. It is one for the fanfic ages to be repeatedly read. Maybe you can at least give us an epilogue?? Pretty please. :-)

    3. I gasped when I read that this was the… Huh, what is that word you used?… “penultimate” (God, can’t you just speak English, woman? You sound like Maura Isles sometimes… And that’s a compliment by the way, LOL)… Anyway, only one chapter left?? So saaaad! But, a) I understand what you’re saying about not wanting to drag a story any longer than it really needs to. b) A sequel can always happen… You just need the right idea. c) I’m never 100% devastated when you end a story, cause I know it’s never too long before you return to us with another marvelous story of yours! And you never disappoint… So, congrats’ for taking this story where it was meant to end, and thanks for sharing it with us! I will be very sad to leave the Savannah, but I can’t wait to see where you’re going to take us next!! Oh, and thanks for posting the very same night I told you that I missed this story. Very thoughtful of you! Can’t wait for the next chapter! Take care, J-3 birthday girl!! And a happy delayed birthday to you iHH!!! And to you both and everybody else, best wishes for the New Year!!! Kisses, Kw

    6. This has been a wonderful journey and I am sad to see it near the end. I can’t wait for inspiration to strike again. I know the memory of this beautiful story and your beautiful writing will linger with me a while.

    7. i will be sorry to see this story end, but have enjoyed the journey that you took us on,evry chapter had us feeling like we were right there with bette and tina,amazing truly amazing…..x

    9. Thanks for the update Kins :-) I just so happy to see that you posted another chapter, but when read the AN, I am quite surprised. 1st that you scrapped one whole chapter as you didn’t like it, I believe that its simply imposibble that you wrote something THAT bad! ;-p but then I realized that maybe the standard is already set there, isn’t it? My dear slightly OCD and perfectionist buddy?! :-D lol .. But who am I to against it? :-p so I just simply adhere to your judgement then :-) and 2nd, to know that this is almost over?! OMG … If only I can choose which/what can be ended and which can’t! Why does it not work like that?! Looks like its a bit of mixed up not in my favor :-( but then.. Well, maybe it’s better that way as the one who has the best overview is the writer herself, and I do respect that. :-) and 3rd, hey! that could lead us to another story with much more new thing to uncover! It brings the zest back definitely and hopefully will inspired the writer more ;-) though I’ll miss the savannah GREATLY, I will be settled to re-read them in the future! (THANKS for the admin of the site for making this possible!!) so anyway, since you-Kins40 are writing everything so detailed and descriptive, I just feel so sorry and sad and also winched for all those injuries and bruises all over T’s body and face!! I cursed JL for that and dang! I must remind me that it’s FF! >_< ... :-p lol.. I hope this can convince you more of how good you are Kins! ;-) maybe you can considering of being a professional writer as your 2nd line?! I'll be one in the first batch to buy your book for sure ;-) and even though I know that the next post probably the last chapter of this story, (and i'm not a kind of those who loves to torture themselves :-p) I still have to confess that I am pining to read that! ;-) so please, pretty please to post the update ASAP?? :-) hehe... Oya, for those who's having the birthday, happy birthday to you and have a great new year too! :-)

    13. Omg…That bad?…Omg..But i know no matter what she looks like, Bette will always Love her. And the first part of your story… I’m in awe!..How detailed you write such a beautiful place. Thank you..thou I’m Bereft? .. [The word is new to me ^_^] too. And I hope you wouldn’t take too long to write again.

    15. I must say that I am slightly confused, is this the last chapter or I am missing some pages. I seems that Bette took Tina to her home on a private island so that she can heal form her accident, which seem to put her in a coma, I think. Way to go Bette in taking care of your girl, Tina. Will look for the rest of this amazingly beautiful story.

    16. Well I guess penultimate is always better than final..looking forward to the last, the epilogue, the sequel, the ongoing and the neverending – and thank you for the most amazing story, wishing you a very happy New Year.

    18. The horror! You write drivel? Never! Thank you for sharing this story, I know it has been an uphill struggle for you at times but your fans simply adore you. I await for your next masterpiece.

    19. Have I told you how wonderfully you write. So wonderful it was yet I am sad that this will end in another chapter. But thank you for this wonderful story and for such excellent writing. Thank you again.

    21. My dear Kins, what can I say but WOW! I can’t begin to imagine what was wrong with your first draft but this one was simply wonderful. Reminded me so much of your very first chapter -the very feel, tone and pacing of it that established the locale. For a moment I thought I’d missed something because the setting here was suddenly SO different and unexpected from where the previous chapter left off but as I continued to read I realized your crafty intent :) This has been a most enjoyable unique and amazing story/journey and I too will be sad to see it come to an end. But like they say in show biz, better to go out on a high note and leave them wanting more :D . I have to say that you’ve got to be one the most magnanimous individuals I have ever known. Thank you and bless you for such an unexpected peace offering (I was only kidding you but you ran with it as only you could). I promise I will find a way to return the favor someday, hopefully soon ;) Lets’ see, “Penultimate” – thank you for that! Especially for the response it drew from Kw (made me LMAO). For that you get two nerd word gold stars… plus an honorable mention for “undulation” (another favorite of yours – and mine). With mixed feelings I’m looking forward to the next (and sadly last) chapter of Savannah. Thank you for sharing your talent and story with us all – YOU are a star. xxx – iHH (PS thank you Merlion & Kw! And Joyeux Anniversaire Kins! – it’s just around the corner;).

    23. well…don’t stop then and carry on…” Truth is, I believe the story has run its course and if I carried on it may turn out to be complete and utter drivel.OKKKKK……I haven’t even read the chapter yet – but KINS………drivel?? Impossible! Utterly!! LOL

    25. So very sad to see this story end, but what a gift this has been. I found myself longing to return to Africa each week and what a beautiful escape it has been! K, thank you so much for this wonderful story!!
