Dakota sat on the edge of her couch and shuffled through more photographs. She carefully laid them out one by one, setting some aside and placing others in a box. Next to the box was a DVD disc and an old VHS tape labeled “Our Day.” As she flipped through picture after picture, something caught her eye. A stack of photos from before she was born had been shoved in with the others. Her mothers stared at her, just much younger. On the back of some of the pictures, someone had scribbled, “B & T year one.” She looked through some more with more writing on the back, except from all different years leading up to the seventh year. There were no more after that. The last picture she found was one of her parents’ house. On the back someone had written, “B & T no more – after the fall.” Dakota knew this must have been taken by someone after her mothers had moved out and split up. She wondered who had taken these candid shots and kept them so neatly and in order after all this time. Glancing at the pile they emerged from, she realized it was a stack that Shane had handed her when she explained the project she was doing on her mothers.
Dakota dropped the pictures and fell into the couch, staring at the ceiling. So many thoughts ran through her mind. This always happened when she worked on her parents anniversary present. She had less than a month to put the finishing touches on it, yet so much remained a mystery. Dakota knew her mothers from the time her mom met Bette, but before that, she didn’t know much. Her mama had an affair and moved away while her mother also moved and got pregnant with her. It was bizarre for Dakota to think about her mothers having a detailed past before her and Zoe. She loved to hear the stories, though her moms had to be in the right mood to share.
The phone rang and Dakota debated whether or not to reach for it. Her instincts kicked in and she reached behind her. “Hello?”
“Shouldn’t you have plans on a Friday night?”

Fareast,
A big Hello and hope you are all rested and recharged after your vacation.
You have been missed.
I fell for the line “You can learn from them because they have the most amazing love story.” Because it could be written as “I can learn from you because you have created the most amazing love story.”
The tale just keeps up such a high standard that have never dropped. If anything it gets better.
The interactions are beautifully crafted and executed. The story flows majestically from one memory to the next and like pooh sticks are carried along by the current.
Your wonderful imagination has created such a rich vein of storytelling that are chapter expertly mines.
Awaiting their next encounter/adventure.
Your Loyal Fan.
The daughter wants to make a DVD on her Mothers life, In any relationship you take the good and the bad Love this welcome back. thanks
Excellent!!!
I’m looking forward to see hoe Dakota’s gift is received. Hopefully her mothers’ love will inspire her to be more open to love.
They have the most beautiful love story indeed, and you are the genius who brings it to us! I love the flashbacks, they just add so much more to their relationship. I just wish the show did more of that- they should really hire you as a writer. I hope you had a great vacation because you deserved it (although im glad your back because I can’t get enough of this story) Can’t wait for more :)
It was nice that Dakota took the time to seek out someone that could fill in the gaps for her. Alice was certainly the right choice – she does have more dirt on them than anyone else!
Dakota needed to see that even with such a terrible ‘down’ that occurred in her mother’s lives that you can survive something like that to be rewarded with such an incredible ‘up’.
I think that Dakota is quite a bit like Bette and afraid of love. What a wonderful gift to hear the stories that allow her to see not only her similarity to Bette, but the possibility of love that she has within her grasp with her boyfriend.
Welcome back! Excellent chapter, just the right mix of humor and romance.
Greetings Fareast,
I’ve been reading this story sporadically during my limited time on the boards, and am finally all caught up. Your writing is warm, touching and heartfelt. Your words convey such depth and meaning and your characters are easily understood. The feeling I have when reading is one that I’d like to keep throughout my day. Too bad I give in to my surroundings and easily change moods. It’s nice to remember the feeling though. Thank you for sharing your wonderful story and wonderful writing.
Great chapter! good to see you back. I love the reflecting and thinking more about the emotions they went through at the start of the relationship.
Glad you are back. I went to the party and had a great time.
Fareast, welcome back. Hope your vacation was enjoyable, this update sure was. You write beautifully.
Beautifully written – as always. What a treat to wake up to one of your chapters – the drive to work will be a pleasant one this morning.
