Starting Over (18)
At just a few minutes to seven, James called the room graciously to attention and introduced Bette. There was a round of applause and Bette raised her glass and addressed the crowd. “Thank you all for coming tonight and sharing with me the joy of this wonderfully inspirational exhibit. I sincerely hope you will share my feelings of hope and possibility that these extraordinary artists have given me with their exceptional work. Please ladies and gentlemen join me in opening my Thanksgiving show, “Inspirations.”
With those words the lights in the main gallery were cast and the main doors to the Gallery were opened. Bette raised her glass to her guests and gestured toward the main gallery. “Welcome”
________________________________________
The show was going spectacularly. Bette, Tina, and James worked separately but at the same time as one, completely in sync with the other’s movements.
Bette walked behind Tina and spoke quietly in her ear. “You can relax a bit now. Things are going better than I could have dreamed. “The girls are over there. Why don’t you take a break?”
“That’s great Bette but Ellie and Joe just walked in. Do you have a quick second to meet them?”
“Um, sure, where are they?”
“Here they come.” Tina said as she took two steps forward and reached for the hand of a stunningly beautiful young blond, and sunk into the embrace of the beaming young woman. Bette stood and stared in amazement at the beautiful moment, they fell into each other’s arms with such familiarity and love. Bette stood with a wide smile staring at the two beauties when she realized Tina had begun to introduce her.
“Bette, this is my daughter, Ellie.
“Ellie, this is Bette Porter.”
Bette extended her hand toward Ellie and said, “Ellie, I am so glad to finally meet you, your mother has talked so much about you I feel like I already know you, Thank you for coming.”
They clasped hands warmly and Ellie responded.
“Oh Ms. Porter it is such a pleasure to meet you and Thank you so much for inviting us. I can’t believe I’m really at a Bette Porter, Opening. Thank you.
Tina watched the two with a wide smile and then she remembered her manners.

So good. I need more pronto.
Excellent! Thank you and part 2 soon?
you meant to say EX husband to be very soon. Loved it PPVS
Poor Bette! That must have been torture for her to see Tina with Joe. I can’t wait for part 2. I guess Tina can’t tell Bette that she and Joe are separating without telling her why and apparently she’s not quite ready to that yet. I hope she is soon.
The opening seems to have gone pretty well, on all fronts. Can’t wait for part 2. Thanks D&A!
Dazed and Amused, I cannot seem to find part 2. Oh, wait, it’s not here yet. Is it here now…….. how about now…….. not here yet……… how much longer????????? Great post. Joe is a jerk for going outside of the married and now feeling like a ass because he knows that Tina will love someone other than him and also be in love.
We’re getting closer. Thank you.
Wonderful chapter!!! I am glad Bette and Ellie got along so well. Joe is a jackass. Thank you PPVS
More please!
That was a great chapter and I’m so glad Joe did not act like a horse’s pa-toot. At least he knows what the look of love is all about. Keep Ellie safe while they drive north, don’t want anything to ahppen to her, it would kill Tina. And we don’t want that. Thanks for posting. Bring on the second part soon, please. Thanks.
Im dying to see how this is going to work out, omg
