“How hard did she hit Bette ?”
“Hard – I remember hearing the sound – it was the sort of sound that just rises above all the other noise going on. To this day I haven’t seen him so cross –no one hurt his little Bette. I still think that he has always loved her more than me “
“That’s not true Kit “
“No girl – I can live with it –look at her – look at who she is – he is so proud of her “
“He’s proud of all of his children and all of his grandchildren”
“I know what I see Tina – anyway – she was 4 and she was everything that I wasn’t – so of course he idolised her. To this day I don’t think she’s given him the trouble that I did “
“You don’t judge your kids on how little bother they cause you “ I say
Kit smiles and shakes her head “No one hurts his little girl – that was always going to be it for Elizabeth – maybe she knew she had crossed a line – that was when she disappeared – she just walked out into the night and no one saw her after that “
“Did he look ?”
“I don’t know – but when all this blew up I spoke to him and he told me how much he had spend on private investigators looking for her. She just didn’t want to be found “
“Does that never strike you as weird – that anyone could just vanish like that ?” I ask
Kit smiles “It has always struck me as scary how easily she vanished “
“Did she have it all planned ?”
“Well I guess that there are more unanswered questions than answers on that one Tina”
I frown
“You have some theory ? “
“Not me girl – I would like to know how she vanished and how she faked her own death so many years later – you got any theories on that ?”
“I know that it was easier in those days to disappear – you couldn’t do it now “
Kit sighs and drinks her water
“I was delighted that she went – I thought we would all be really happy – that I would have dad to myself – just the three of us. It never occurred to me that Bette would miss her mom and cry for her as much as she did – or that there would be consequences so many decades later.
“Did you set out to drive her away Kit ?”
Kit looks at me for several seconds – she doesn’t need to reply – I know the answer.
“And you have had to face the fact that it back fired “
Kit looks genuinely upset “I didn’t think Bette would miss her “
“You were 14 years old and in so many different sorts of emotional pain Kit – you cannot hold yourself responsible for what happened. She must have wanted to leave to do what she did and never try and get her daughter back. I could have understood it if she had taken Bette with her – that would have hurt him the most “
“If she’d taken Bette he would have chased her to the ends of the earth to get her back”
“That’s natural “
“I know – I do wonder how hard he would have looked if I had walked away that night “
“You are his daughter – just like Bette – and just like Leigh”
“I am not proud of myself Tina “
“That’s why you have been fighting me every inch of the way with this book – it reminds you too much of what happened “
Kit nods “I am sorry Tina “
“Kit – make peace with Bette – she misses you “
“She is mad with me for saying what I have to you “
“Water off a ducks back – I get enough grief and it doesn’t even scratch the surface – please say that you will come to the White House and see Bette –make peace with one another

Very needed conversation between Kit and Tina. Beautifully written. Thanks.
I love the way you’ve written their conversation. This has been one of my favorites since the first day you wrote it. Thank you for continuing this amazing story.
A much need talk between the two of them. Kit does have a lot to live with especially knowing now that she was so wrong then, and of course, not knowing what the consequences of her actions would be in the future. Maybe she will contact Bette but, she should at least try and make up. Youwrite dialogue so very well AllyE, it’s as though we are sitting listening and watching them. It is so natural. Thanks for posting.
Yay, an update! Thanks so much, Ally!
