Vignettes: Chapter 18
Bette stood up and walked towards the sliding door to look up at the moon. It was a bright night and Alices backyard was illuminated by the light of the moon. She held a mug of tea and took a sip. She didnt mind sharing stories with Shane, especially since she felt that Shane deserved to hear them because of how close a friend she used to be. But, this was hard for Bette. Digging up the past and bringing it into new light with a new and fresh perspective from Shane caused her to groan inside. She thought it was best just to get it out of the way and spill it all out in one sitting. Hopefully after this evening, they would be able to let it rest. Throughout all the years, everything had been sitting on the shelf, and Bette had become accustomed to letting it sit, adding more pages if necessary but never sifting through what had already been written down.
Bette… Shane gently said, trying to get her attention.
What? Bette turned around to face Shane once again.
Listen… Bette, if you want to call it a night and call it the end, we can let it be. Im sorry. I never thought about how hard this must be for you, to rehash all the hurt and pain.
Bette smiled softly and sat down on the couch next to Shane. She studied Shanes caring eyes and felt at ease in her presence. It was the first time on this trip that she had actually felt true comfort instead of being on edge. Her walls were being broken down and she wanted to stay in that moment, even if it meant crawling out of her cave where she buried all the past and her pain.
Shane, when have you ever known me not to finish what I started?
Well, never but-
Then what makes you think Id leave you tonight? Bette asked, cutting her off.
So what youre saying is youre the same woman you were years ago?
Ill always be Bette Porter. Some things never change. And here we are in the middle of the night having a heart to heart. Ive never left in the middle of one of those before, have I?
