Vignettes: Chapter 52
You know what, Dakota? Bette asked. I have pictures. Would that make you feel better if you could see pictures of me and your mom from all those years ago?
Yeah.
Tina looked at Bette curiously wondering why she thought to bring pictures. But she kept her mouth shut. Some things about Bette would never cease to amaze her. Dakota moved close to Bette and sat next to her. Bette held a photo album in her lap but she let Dakota turn the pages when she was ready. Tina grabbed her camera and took a few shots of the two of them together without them even realizing it. Bette took her time explaining things Dakota had questions about while Tina interjected at times as well.
Whos that? Dakota pointed to a picture of a black woman with her arm around Bette.
Thats my older sister. Youll have to meet her sometime. She lives here in LA, but she travels a lot. She was a very good friend to your mom.
Where did you meet my mom?
Bette smiled softly as she remembered first meeting Tina. She flipped through the pages of the album until she came across a picture of her and Tina standing in front of a painting. They were dressed up and smiling, leaving a space between them. Their cheeks were flushed from wine and heat.
I met your mom here.
What is it?
You know now how I have an art gallery where I have all sorts of paintings and pictures?
Dakota nodded.
Well, when I used to live out here with your mom, I had another gallery. Your mom came to a show I had one night and we met there for the first time.
Did you love her when you first saw her?
Bette smiled at the five year olds innocent questions. I didnt fall in love with her right away. That usually takes time. But I did know that I liked her and wanted to get to know her better.
Hm. Dakota didnt say anything but continued to flip through the pages. Bette wouldve given anything to be inside of the little girls head. Before she could avert Dakotas eyes, another question poured out of her mouth.

Fareast,
That was magnificent. Truly from the mouths of babes comes such honesty and genuine heartfelt emotions. Dakota took everything in her stride while Bette and Tina had agonized and struggled about how, when, where and what to tell Dakota.
You have shown how the simple truth is always the best policy. Brava!
I applaud your impressive dialogue; it just rolls of the page and keeps everything real and true.
Thank you for taking me over this vibrant and vivid voyage.
Post real soon,
Your Loyal Fan
