Uncharted Territory
Her words bring me back to the night of our wedding. The snowy world around me disappears and I’m back at that warm beach.
Croix de Valmer, France – 2,5 years ago
I believe this is the most beautiful sunset I’ve ever seen. While the sun slowly disappears behind the horizon, the big fire pits and candles cast a glow over the long rustic dining table, filled with our friends and family who all flew here to join us on this beach in the South of France. Through the enjoyable sound of their banter I can hear the water of the sea flowing onto the beach. I get up and the ticking of the spoon against my glass silences the voices around me. Even though I’m nervous I’m sure of what I want.
’First of all we would like to thank you all for coming and making this day the most special day for us. In particular I would like to thank my stunning wife for making this the most unforgettable day.’ While people applaud I bend over and kiss Bette. My eyes keep on searching for her for she is my steady beacon.
‘We agreed not to give a speech because I hate speaking in public, but with you baby, everything seems so easy. As I was preparing for this day, I found this old letter that I never sent you, when you left for Paris. So I would like to use this opportunity to read it to you.’
With shaky hands I unfold the paper. I have never felt as happy as today. So fulfilled and so sure of my love for her.
‘Dear Bette, I just came back from the airport after saying goodbye to you. I didn’t expect it to be like this. I didn’t expect to feel like my heart is being ripped out. I for sure didn’t expect to cry. And for sure I didn’t expect that I could miss someone this fast, this much. I feel physical pain at the thought of not being able to see you whenever I need or want to see you. Ever since you bumped into my life, you have been on my mind, day and night. The moment we met something extraordinary happened, we both felt it. I couldn’t understand why you were so special to me. But the time we spent together was so enchanting that each moment without you feels like a punishment to me. Something tells me there is a word for this, but I don’t dare to use it yet, afraid that it’s all been a dream. Something also tells me that this is not the end, it’s just the beginning and there is so much unchartered territory waiting to be discovered by us. I’m impatient to see what life has in store for us. But for now I need to be back in your arms as soon as possible.’

There appears to be a thaw in the temperature between Bette and Tina, the result of reminiscing how they felt about each other when they first met….. so what happened to those people?
Thanks for the update….

My goodness! Wow. Pure innocence to just let their initial meeting be pure. NOT trying to impress, nor please, nor demand. Just simply letting their first moments “be”.
There was a sense of cherishing what they were sharing. Now they’ll need to find out when they let those types of moments fade. When they began to take for granted the leaving of notes, giving of flowers, the intimate acknowledgements of their special friendship, that led to marriage.
now it feels like Renne’s illness and pending passing will have a profound affect in sobering up these two, to work stuff out and love one another with a new love.

Hey, i have read all your chapters and i must admit i am intrigued how they will be able to reconcile. Their is a little progress forward but i think it will take time and lots of talk before they get there.
