Woven ~ Chapter 2
Alice was feeling quite pleased with the way her skills had worked that day and thought that perhaps her extra-sharp skills might finally guide her to her challenge’s fate. Besides, the house was warm and there was usually some wine to share.
She strode to the door and banged loudly. When the door didn’t open and she didn’t hear footsteps approaching, she banged again, hurting her hand as she banged harder and harder.
"You don’t have to keep banging, I was on my way…" Alice heard as the door opened. The speaker stopped when she saw who had been seeking entrance. "You again."
##
"Have you been living alone so long that you have forgotten your manners, Miss Porter?"
"Only with respect to unwelcome visitors, Alice."
Alice ducked under the arm that held the door open so that she could enter the home. She knew that she would not have been invited in.
"And it seems that that unwelcome visitor does not recognize that she is indeed unwelcome."
Alice walked directly to one of the comfortable cushioned chairs placed in front of the fireplace. She noticed the open book that rested on a table next to the other matched chair. "There was no reason to wait, Miss Porter, since no invitation would have been forthcoming."
"That is the usual fate of unwelcome visitors, Alice."
"I do not understand why my visits are so unwelcome, Miss Porter,"
"’Bette,’ Alice. You should call me ‘Bette’."
"That’s ridiculous. I am here in my professional capacity."
"And I have told you repeatedly, hundreds of times, that I do not need, I do not want, your professional services."
"And yet I continue to work on your behalf."
"All I can be honest with you and warn you off. I cannot stop you from being foolish."
"Good, that’s settled, Miss Porter."
"’Bette.’"
"Miss Porter."
Bette hadn’t realized that she still held the door open until a sudden gust of wind bit her face. She hurriedly slammed it and walked to her fireplace to warm herself.
Alice took a quiet breath. Stopping at this house had been impulsive so she had not had the time to assemble her best presentation of the news she wanted to deliver. She decided that this woman needed the direct approach.
