She listened.
“Of course, I’m right.”
James slid Bette’s office door open. “Tina on your private line.”
Bette nodded and her assistant disappeared as quickly as he had arrived. “Okay, Jose, I’ll tell you what–let me jot down some artists that I’m considering for this. You can present it to your artists at your next meeting. I have a feeling that they’re going to be behind it. You’ll be hearing from me. Ciao.”
Sitting, Bette removed her headset and picked up the phone. “Hi, baby.”
“Hi, Bette. How’s work going?”
“Not bad. What’s up?” Bette looked at the telephone display screen. “You’re still at home. It’s late.” She smiled and added, “Did I really wear you out last night? You said that you wouldn’t be able to…”
“No. Well, yes, you did. I can hardly walk, but that’s not why I’m still home.”
“What’s the problem?”
Tina sighed loudly. “Oh, Bette. I’m so sorry, but I can’t find my ring anywhere.”
“Your ring?” Bette looked at the gold band that sat in her small office supplies tray with the paper clips. “What ring?” She inquired with false bewilderment.
“My wedding ring.” Tina was nearly in tears.
“You haven’t worn it in a long time. You’ve probably just misplaced it. I’m sure we can find it.” Bette picked up the band and held it up so she could read the inscription inside, vous et nul autre, toujours, Bette. You and no other, Always, Bette. The ring Bette wore on her finger was inscribed the same, except it was Tina’s name at the end. Bette could understand why Tina hadn’t put the ring back on, but the grief of it twisted and stomped on her heart nonetheless. Her mind flashed back to the wee morning after the opening night of ‘Provocations,’ when she saw that Tina had left the ring on the bathroom shelf. That declaration blew her mind.
“I’ve looked everywhere. What could I have done with it?”
“When was the last time you saw it, Tee?” Bette asked. She knew she had taken the ring the morning after they got their new bed.
The night before had been earth shaking. Their lovemaking had been erotic, playful, intensely intimate, romantic, passionate, barrier-breaking, and often breathless. During more than one interlude that night, they had both cried in each other’s arms. When Bette awoke from a mere twenty minutes of sleep, she felt like she was walking on air. This life, this life that had been turned upside-down, was now on track and perfect in everyway. It was mad, new love she felt and she was euphoric.

Portia, your story is pure genius. Congrats on finishing, and I so look forward to reading more of your writing in the future.
Portia just read your series excellent!!
Please write some more. Wonderful series.
I have been patiently waiting for your new chapter, wow was I blown away. I just Loved how you told your story with so much love along with the heartache that a couple feels with infidelity. It is the most intimate betrayle ones partner can do. It opens up so many doubts which you have explored thru your story along with ” we all have our own stories of our childhood” you also explored that thru your story which tells a lot how one’s behavior is in a relationship. I hope that you write more for us readers to enjoy. Thank-you very much.

Portia – I loved your tory – I printed the whole thing out & read it like a novel – you write so fluidly and handle powerful emotion and angst so well and then wrap it all up neatly – what more could we ask for – a good meaty read – I admire greatly the ability to get into the head of a character – I can’t write for Toffee – but I read avidly. Please do create more of this quality – I’ll start your next story & keep looking out for your name. Thanks
