The New Year’s Resolution That Changed My Life!
“It’s alright,” she said, managing to not grit her teeth.
“Oh Angel, I can’t believe you just did that to this nice lady who found you.” She held her little girl close, still feeling a little frantic after realizing her precious baby had disappeared after they had turned their heads for just a moment.
“Actually,” Bette smiled. “She found me, and really, it’s okay. I think I’ve had enough relaxation for one day anyway.”
“At least let us pay for your clothes to be dry-cleaned ,” the man said.
Not wanting to spend one more minute in the park that was supposed to have been a quiet sanctuary, Bette shook her head and smiled graciously. “No, really, it’s fine. I live close by, so I can run home quickly and change.” She waved to the little girl who was now smiling and wiggling to get out of her mother’s arms. “Bye Angel,” she smile as she nodded to the parents one more time and turned, almost racing to get out of the park.
Well, she thought as she made her way to her car, holding her shirt away from her chest as much as possible. This has been a total bust! She wanted to be angry at Angel’s parents, but just couldn’t find it in her. Not after seeing the look of desperation on their faces before they spotted Bette.
Looking down at her shirt, Bette never saw the teenage boy careening out of control towards her on his skateboard. She felt a blinding pain, heard a scream, and then all went black.

She became aware of voices murmuring in the background, and felt a pounding pain in her head and foot.
“Can you open your eyes Ms. Porter?” The soft, but confident voice was so comforting Bette could feel her body relax. Responding to the question, she slowly she opened her eyes, blinking for a moment against the light, and then focusing on what could only be described as the most heavenly hazel eyes.

“So, I don’t get it.” Alice looked at Bette, confused. “How could having what can only be described as a shitty…pun intended…day at the park be a New Year’s resolution that changed your life?”
“Because Al,” Bette responded “If I hadn’t made that resolution I wouldn’t have ended up at the park. And, if I hadn’t ended up at the park I wouldn’t have been tackled by a teenager and broken my angle. And, if I hadn’t broken my ankle I wouldn’t have ended up at the ER and taken care of by….”
The door to The Planet opened and both women turned to watch as a gorgeous blonde woman walked
in, her hazel eyes searching the room. As they landed on Bette her face broke into the sweetest smile, causing her step to quicken.
“…Dr. Tina Kennard.” Bette finished as she smiled at the woman coming toward them.
Not taking her eyes off of Tina, Bette whispered, “Al, I’m going to marry that woman someday.”
She stood to say hi to the woman she had fallen instantly in love with, not seeing the stunned look on her friends face, or hear the crash of her coffee cup as if fell from her hand.
