Vignettes: Chapter 50
“You’d better. I want an update on the visit. And don’t thank me, thank yourself. I just give the advice. It’s you who decides what to do with it.”
Bette hung up the phone and tossed it on the couch before racing to the bedroom to get changed.
Bette slowly walked up the steps of her old house as dusk fell around the porch. She stopped outside the door and listened. Laughter blew out to her and she was reminded of when she used to live here with Tina. If she closed her eyes and opened her ears it was almost as if no time had passed. Then she heard the giggle of a little girl. Bette knocked but nobody answered. She tried again with no luck. She let herself in and looked around. Boxes were all over the floor, some opened, some still taped shut. Empty take out cartons littered the floor as well and toys were strewn all over. Bette smiled.
Tina was on the back patio with Dakota, Alice and Dana. They were enjoying ice cream cones after a long swim in the pool. They were still dripping wet and clad only in their swim suits. Alice kept chasing Dakota, trying to give her a wedgie and Dakota ran around screaming and giggling. Bette walked into the doorway and watched the scene, suddenly feeling very old. She watched the little girl and was thankful for the youth and liveliness that would be around her continuously from now on.
The hairs on Tina’s back stood up and she turned around. She saw Bette in the door frame watching Dakota and Alice. Tina gasped quietly and Bette looked over at her. When Dakota realized her mom wasn’t watching her anymore, she asked, “Mommy what’s the matter?”
Tina didn’t respond and at this point Alice and Dana stood around awkwardly, not sure of what to say. Dakota looked at Bette.
“I remember you.” Dakota said.
“Do you?” Bette asked, smiling.
“You’re Bette.”
“You have a good memory.”
“I liked you.”
“Well, that’s good.” Bette said. “Because I live just down the road from you.”

I am happy to see a new chapter.Please don’t stop.We need to see them reconcile.
Fareast…hey! I love your writing! You have a real flair for realistic dialogue and for being “right on” with each character’s depiction. If you do end this story (I hope you don’t) I am going to beg you, if that is what it takes, to continue to write another…and another….and….
Get it? Thanks for this chapter and I’m so sorry that your struggling with the format…I want to kick your Mac’s ass for making it so hard on you! (Kidding, gosh!)
Keep it coming
What a sweet family this is going to be.. I loved the kiss – perfect ;)
Hurry back.
Always glad to read more of this.
The main fanfiction page has a link for sending info to the coders…try that to see if they can help w/the formatting issues.
Oh Fareast…don’t you know by now that it doesn’t matter if this story is formatted right…spaced right…your writing captivates us so much, that we don’t even notice. I too am sad that this story is ending. It has been a favorite of mine, as well. However, where this ends, I hope another begins. Thank you.
I love this story. If you need to end this one., it would be cool to start another one.
i love this story so much and wait for an update everyday, please post soon
Please don’t let an inanimate object win out over posting. We like your story regardless of how it comes across in format. Your story is sooooo much more than formatting. Please continue to let us into this wonderful world that you have created with Vignettes!
Nicely done, the ‘soft and slow’ was simply devine.
Beautiful as always! Please don’t say you are ending this story! I simply won’t believe it….it is too good to end!
where have you been women. i have been waiting for this. please dont talk about ending it unless your going to write a sequel, because this story is wonderful. amazing chapter as per usual fareast.i’m lovin it.
You are brilliant as always.
I should tell you that when my girlfriend hears me let out a happy sound while sitting at the computer, she says “let me guess, Fareast posted?” And I turn to her with the biggest grin.
Thank you :)
I agree with Christy,let it continue one of my favorite story’s as well.Great job awaiting the next chapter.
CAN THE NEXT CHAPTER BE FAST AND HARD???
This story has been incredible, I will be sad to see it end. You have done a marvelous job writing it…I’ve enjoyed the journey and can’t wait for the next installment.
What a morning on the fanfics fareast, your beautiful, breathless story is such a favorite. And big chapters by JWET and Seahurst. Must be a holiday weekend.
I concur with Christy’s comment – please continue the story. Or start a new one! Just keep writing … you write the characters very well.
let me echo everyone else here and say this story is one of my favorites, format doesn’t matter, i was so excited to see it. but sad to hear that it’s ending… any chances for a sequel?
this story is breaththking…I love it thanks!
finally..some atitude…and thanks to Yoda..lol..i love it and i hope see more in a while..amazing chapter thanks :-)
i simply don’t accept just one more chapter. how’s that for a comment? if Tina wants Bette to crowd their lives, i think that it is only fair that you crowd this website with lots more posts. just a thought and Happy 4th!
