    Author Notes:

    As she looked out over the lake, she felt a sense of calm and peacefulness that she had not felt in a long time.

     

    Previously, we left Angie sitting on the bench down at the lake shore, thinking back in time.

     

     

    CHAPTER 2

    Scene – Many years earlier….Bette is in a car driving down a highway.

    Driving down the highway Bette Porter could not help but notice the beauty of the area around her. There appeared to be a sense of calm and serenity here that she could not help but notice. As she turned off the main highway onto a side road and headed towards a small town, she could not help but feel drawn to this area. She had been visiting an artist friend reviewing some new artwork that would be showing in a Gallery in New York in the next couple of months. As she made her way back to the city, she felt a pull that she couldn’t quite put her finger on, but something was drawing her to this area.

    Once she arrived in the town, she found a small diner and stopped for a bite to eat. Picking up a local paper, she browsed through the pages as she waited for her meal to arrive. As she flipped through the pages, a small ad caught her attention.

    It was a picture of a house for sale, and the caption mentioned that it was located on a lake. Bette could not put her finger on what it was, but some how she knew that she had to go see this house.

    After finishing her meal, she went to the counter to pay for it, and inquired with the waitress if she could give her directions to where this house might be located. The waitress knew of the house, and commented how beautiful the location was, and that the owner had recently passed away and that it had just been put up for sale by the family.

    Bette thanks her for her assistance, got into her vehicle and headed off to find the lake and the house. After locating the for sale sign at the side of the road, Bette headed up the long driveway towards the house.

    The lot was well treed and hid the view of the house and the lake from the road. As she approached the clearing and saw the house come into view it took her breath away. It was an old log cabin style house, two storeys with a well maintained deck and garden area.

    1. Taz, where to start? I can understand Bette wanting to walk as far away from her former life. However, you will end up bringing the same pain with you when you go. Tina’s absence will be felt whether it is in the “familiarity” of the life they shared, or hundreds of miles away. My own brother is dealing with this absence from his life as well as you know. The loss of a partner/spouse is incredibly hard and difficult for anyone, and I can only imagine what it feels like. I would be so lost without my beautiful wife, and never the same. What a really tought storyline, but it is one that you are telling so well, and I know how close to your heart this one is. Oh, and as for looking back and reacting with emotion, but knowing in your heart you would do it all over again, just speaks about how passionate you are about what you believe in, and just how strong those beliefs are. You’ve got class, passion, and resilience, and it is clear in what you write. I’m happy to see your personal shout out. * hugs * P is a very lucky gal. Hope you gals have fun this weekend. TTYS

    2. No matter where you go or move to,The fact that theone you love will all ways be with you You can change everything but the loving and longing will never go away. There are day that you miss them so much that you hurt all over. Bad day today but thanks for posting

    3. Hey Taz. I was glad to see a post from you. I really do like where this is going. I am curious as to what sort of accident claimed Tina. I guess you are going to let us in on that when you are ready. We all know that regardless of if Angie liked the house or not, they were there since this is past tense. I am sure she probably took a lot of coaxing though. As for your author notes, I agree with my lovely other half. The fact that you say you would do it again means that you did what you were probably meant to do. Don’t second guess yourself. You are a person who puts a lot of thought into what you do. You should be proud of yourself. Post soon. Ness

    4. We’re glad you decided to continue this touching story. We understand B’s desire to “escape” T’s ghost, however, if her heart hasn’t healed, we doubt any distance will help to move forward. Angie also needs her other family near, as the absence of her birth mom must be very difficult to absorb, at her tender age. Both need the moral support of their extended family. Loneliness does not help to overcome the inner pain that B is carrying in her heart and mind. B and Angie should discuss at length this important step. In our opinion, the lake house could be a place for relaxing and not exactly their new home in NY. PPS – Lucero & Marsha (JC’s proud Salsa Aunties from Mexico City)

    5. Taz, in many ways, this is such a sad story, but you tell it so beautifully. Bette is trying to move on with her life and that’s a good thing. I do think that she’ll see that location has little to do with the pain you carry everywhere with you. However, a new location can mean new things to put your attention and energies into and this can often help in the healing process.

    7. Hello Taz, I must tell you this is such a powerful story… you create a sensation within your words that truly brings out the emotions within your reader… I absolutely love your choice of words to explore the emotional wells that exists within the readers as well as the characters… thank you for sharing… the desire to create a new life far away from all the pains of your world is such an easy response… you can escape and hide within your shell but one must realize that your hurt and pain will follow you if you try to run… take it in… yes it will hurt but it will be worth it… you will find your freedom… hugs, JC (“To become a spectator of one’s own life is to escape the suffering of life.” – Oscar Wilde)
