The Journey 30
Tina
Bette takes Laurel and Kit home I decide to unpack my things. I put a few things in the wardrobe and marvel at how at home they look. I put a few of the boxes, although the boxes are not that big in the spare room until Bette and I feel like unpacking. In the corner, leaning against the window a tubular roll of what appears to be drawings catches my attention. I only know what they are because I’ve seen Bette store them before like that when she has not had time to decide where to put them or whether to even keep them. I climb over a couple of boxes and pull the tube out, it is heavier than I thought, indicating there are more drawings than I thought. I push some of the boxes back towards the window to make room and unroll the tubes. At first I am not sure what I am seeing, it strikes me as odd that Bette, meticulous as she is does not appear to have the drawings in any particular order. I start to spread them out and I notice other unfamiliar boxes in the room and more tubes. I don’t get the other tubes but notice they are all dated, this seems to be the first one, at least in chronological order. The light is starting to fade, it’s almost dusk giving the drawings new life of their own. I can tell instantly Bette hand picked these, what I didn’t know yet was why. I start to spread them out over the floor completely absorbed. They are replicas of famous paintings: The Battle of San Roman, Mona Lisa, Child at Prayer, Saint Martin Dividing His Cloak, Head of John the Baptist. It’s so unlike Bette to put these all in one tube and Bette knows anyway that is not the best way to store drawings. I am on my hands and knees as I study the pictures. I know Bette, there is a reason she collected these particular ones. Aren’t these all at The Louvre? So the first place Bette went was
Bette: “I thought you were unpacking?”
Bette
I let myself in, thinking maybe Tee showered or went to the shop, that’s why she’d not answered the phone. When I pull up and her car was there I was unconcerned. I call out and she doesn’t answer. Eventually I make my way to the spare room after checking the kitchen, our room and outside. I watch Tee trying to fit the pieces together, what I don’t understand is why she would want to. No question I feel my personal space has been invaded. I lean against the door, cross my arms and wonder how the ***** to explain any of this. Perhaps I am in luck, more than I know. Maybe this is exactly how I will tell Tee, things I need to, if only I can find the courage and enough trust.
Bette: “I thought you were unpacking?”
