The call to her arms, Chapter 1
She walked up to the stone and brushed her fingers over the beautiful name, whispering it at the same time. Then her eyes rested on the dates underneath it and she let out a long sigh, as the pain and sadness filled her whole being, forming the first tears in her eyes.
She slowly walked back to the front of the grave, and with great difficulty yet strong determination she bent down and placed the beautiful bouquet of flowers, that she had preciously carried along, on the cold stone. Then her eyes returned to the name that, up to this day, had never failed to increase the beating of her heart whenever she pronounced it, and she smiled.
“Happy anniversary, my love.”
With tears now fully covering her cheeks, she walked the few steps that took her to the small wooden bench facing the grave, and slowly sat down. Taking out a handkerchief and trying in vain to wipe the tears that kept being replaced by new ones, she stayed there, watching the beautiful stone that held the most precious being that had ever come into her life. A being that she had loved, and still did, with unbridled abandon and passion. A love that even the worst enemy had never been able to break. A love that was born on that same day… So many years ago.
No, today wasn’t any day.
As she let the handkerchief rest on her knee, finally giving up on trying drying her tears, she looked up at the precious engraved letters again, and she smiled.
So many years ago…
And yet that day was still so vivid in her mind…
****************************************
Paris, 1942.
The dark-skinned woman watched in amusement as the little boy downed in a few gulps the glass of milk she had just placed in front of him.
“Would you like another one, sweetheart?” she asked him once he had put the glass back down on the table, wiping his upper lip with the back of his hand.
The fair-haired boy looked quizzically at the young woman sitting closely on his right side, and when she gave him a smile and a small nod, he shyly pushed the glass across the table.

Thanks so much for posting this story. You picked a very interesting time and location for this. Lots of tension, drama and heartbreak are inevitable given the circumstances. I hope Bette and Tina can find strength and solace in each other to get them through it all.
Hey K !! I’m so late in catching up with this new story of yours I’m ashamed ! Anyway, I believe you already know by now what I think of it, and what I think of your writing, but just wanted to drop in and say “YOU’RE A FRACKING ROCKSTAR !!!!” I mean, in case you didn’t know… ;) thank you for this new gift of a story.
Very Interesting. Love it. I am hooked my friend.
This is the beginning of a great love story.
My dad was stationed in England and got lost in France on a mission, the resistance got him out, it was one of the very few stories he told.
Sweet mother of pearl Kw – 20 pages to “set the scene”!?! It’s like Christmas come early (LOL). This is BRILLIANT! I’ve always had a fascination with WWII and Civil War based stories. The opening evokes an array of emotions that are so palpable and hint at the intrigue to come that it sucked me in right away. I’m looking forward to seeing where you take us on this journey. All I can say is Godspeed to our gals. Patiently but eagerly looking forward to your next chapter :)
Totally engrossing. I held my breath while reading. This story has the makings of a true tibette classic.
Hi Kw! So happy to see your name again in the front page ;-) and boy! What a beginning!! I am thrilled to read more.. And no matter how you said that it’s long chapter to make us understand the situations… Well.. I still can’t get it?! So would you post another long chapter again to make me have a better understanding of the situations? … :-p lol… You cant blame me for asking you this after being hooked by story and it’s worth a try I guess ;-) he3.. :o)
A new story from you is always a really nice surprise and what a start.Thank you.PPS
