    Vignettes: Chapter 26

    We could have the rest of our lives to spend together if I hadnt turned away from you selfishly. I am asking for your forgiveness once again. Know that you can trust me and that I love only you. I would stay in LA if it meant you would give me another chance and work together to rebuild our marriage. Just say the words and Im here. Youre probably wondering why Im leaving if I want to be with you. Truth is… my dream job is in NY with an amazing opportunity. And I need to get away because it hurts too much to know youre in the same city but I can never see you. I hope that makes sense.

    So this is it. This note is the last time I try to communicate with you until you make the effort. I cant keep trying to convince you of my love. Its exhausting and tiring. You know how I feel and you know I will always talk if you call. Im always just a phone call away.

    I will always love you,
    Bette

    ***

    Well… Im not quite sure what to say, Bette. That letter wasnt meant for my eyes. Shane commented as she carefully placed the paper back in the envelope.

    Its good you read it. Gives you an idea of why I left and how it all ended. Bette put the envelope back in the box, putting the lid back on.

    I see how much you love Tina and how hard it was to leave.

    Loved. How much I loved Tina, not love. It was in the past. Bette corrected.

    But your feelings are very much in the present.

    Bette rolled her eyes and stood up.

    Are we leaving? Shane asked.

    Yes, but were taking the box with us. Well search through it some more back at Alices. Now I think we need to get home. This is crazy being out here in the middle of the night.

    They headed back to the house in silence, each letting their tired thoughts overwhelm them. Quietly sneaking back into the house, they shut the door behind them and crashed on the couch. They sat down still lost in their own thoughts and both fell asleep in moments.

    Tina woke Dana up in the morning to head out for a run together. Alice met them in the hallway as she was leaving the bathroom. All three walked towards the kitchen, laughing and talking about the days schedule ahead of them.

    Shane never gave us an itinerary for today so maybe we get a free day. Alice joked while the other two laughed.

    Well, maybe this is why we have no plans today. Dana spotted Bette and Shane passed out on the couch. They were covered in dirt, smeared all over their clothes and skin while the box sat between them, the lid off and the contents partially spilling out.

    Tina cocked her head sideways as she saw an envelope with her name on it.

    Theyre totally getting dirt all over my couch! What the ***** did they do last night? Alice asked.

    I cant even imagine. And whats that box between them? Dana replied as she stepped closer to the sleeping pair.

    Alice and Dana watched Tina as she quietly snatched the envelope from the box and examined it closely.

    Tina, maybe you shouldnt read that. Alice cautioned.

    But my names on it.

    Doesnt make it yours.

    No, it doesnt, but a lot of things arent mine that I still want. Tina replied, avoiding Alice and Danas stares.

      Oh please let Tina read the letter. And what a cruel way to end this chapter. You do love to taunt, tease and torment your readers. Luv it really just need your continuation to be real soon.
