    Something so right – chapter 84

     

     

    Bette nodded “Sounds familiar – he came to Yale to see me unexpectedly during my final year and I was sitting in bed reading with my then girlfriend – he did the same thing – he became very formal and stuffy. That’s one of the reasons I really don’t want Tina to meet him – not because I am ashamed of who I am or who I am with but because he would call her Ms Kennard all the time”

     

     

    “Melvin is not a man of his time in a lot of ways – he’s more a Victorian patriarch “

     

     

    “Sounds fun “Tina muttered “But I will be with you when you go and see him “

     

     

    “You are going to see him?” Elizabeth asked

     

     

    Bette nodded “It will not be fun but I need answers from him – like why he’s never told me anything about you “

     

     

    “He’s a very proud man – proud of what he has achieved and that he is a respected pillar of society. In those days it didn’t do to have an alcoholic wife – just like he probably now thinks that it’s equally demeaning for him to have a daughter who is a lesbian. For a man who has made so much of himself he has an unhealthy need to fit in with the circle he moves in – well maybe its not that unusual “

     

     

    Bette stood up “I need a few minutes – excuse me “

     

     

    “Bette “ Elizabeth looked upset that Bette was struggling but Tina knew how important it was to give her space
    “Its okay babe – take as long as you need – I will just be eating your share of the croissants “

     

     

    Bette smiled at her girlfriend and went into the house. Tina drank some of her fruit juice and looked at Bette’s mom

     

     

    “Give her time “

     

     

    “Do you think she’s alright?”

     

     

    “I discovered her at 3am looking through old photographs – it’s a lot for her “

     

     

    “I never meant to hurt her but she’s on my mind every single day “

    1. I don´t think I can say it better than Honda90. You truly are an amazing writer. I wish I could articulate it better – whether you write about Dalmations, A wonderful life, Birthday presents, College years, presidential tantrums, break ups, Beatles quotes or Santa Claus – you captivate and leave us spellbound. However you do, what you do, please don´t ever stop.

    2. I’m hoping Elizabeth will be with Bette when she confronts Melvin. Bette is so vulnerable right now. This brings back memories for me to when I saw my father for the first time when I was 30 years old.

    3. AllyE, you really are just freaking amazing. This was a beautiful chapter. Finally, they talk and are beginning that all important mother daughter relationship that they have both missed and needed very much. I thought when they both started to cry, they would embrace, maybe it’s too soon for them. Our Tina is way too cool in all this and of course, she is Bette’s rock, as always. Thanks AllyE for such a lovely chapter for Mother’s Day. This chapter proves the reason for the day. Thanks so much and Happy Mother’s Day to your mother and hope she is feeling well and the both of you are doing ok. Thanks for posting.

    4. This is a great chapter! All the emotions making their way to the surface. I can’t wait to see who attacks Melvin first. It’s such a great story! Thanks for posting!

    5. Great chappie, the emotions you described were incredible. I think Bette was a lot more forgiving than I would be under the circumstances. I can’t wait for Bette’s discussion with Melvin.

    6. that was an amazing chapter! the way you right makes us feel like we are right there in the garden with them. loved the interaction between the 3 of them.

    7. Wow, you could really feel Bette and Elizabeth’s emotions in this chapter. The anguish over the years missed between them and both feeling unsure how the other would feel about them if they were to ever be found. Hahahaha…Melvin isn’t going to know what hit him. Can’t wait for your next update Ally!

    8. Todays lesson is DO Not TRUST A HAIRY LEG MAN. Today is get Melvin day. Glad that Elizabeth took the time to seek Bette out, about time. Tina likes her,that is a plus for her. Hope Bette learns to love her.

    9. You have the talent to just pull your readers into the story and bring us to the emotional level you set in your story. As one of your commentors said’Freaking amazing!!’ PPVVS

    10. It’s nice to see this new relationship build and I also like that there are so many layers of grey and not only black and white. Melvin clearly had done some mistakes, but it couldn’t be all bad because Bette turned out really amazing. I’m interested what he thinks and how he will react.

    11. You have an amazing ability to keep the reader engaged, the way you continue with stories is really a credit to your writing talent. Just when something could be winding down you pull out a show stopper. As readers I’d say none of us want you to ever stop!!!! I can’t say which is better, I love all the stories!!! Thanks PPS!!!
