Does the chest hold answers or just more questions? – Chapter 41
“Sure. There’s a gas station with a mini mart at the next exit. They should have clean bathrooms and we can fill up the tank so you won’t have to worry about doing it in the city.”
Greg signaled and started moving over to the right lane so he could exit safely.
“Thank you Greg.”
Greg caught Bette’s eye in the rear-view mirror and smiled. She returned the smile and squeezed his shoulder indicating that she was fine and that he should stop worrying. A few minutes later they pulled into the gas station. Greg filled the gas tank while Bette and Kit used the ladies room.
***
Kit came out of the stall to find her sister staring at her reflection in the harshly lit bathroom mirror; the water she’d splashed on her face slowly dripping back into the sink. Bette grabbed several paper towels and dabbed at her face and neck to keep the water from wetting her shirt. None of them had taken the time to change out of their work clothes when they got to the hotel that afternoon. They were anxious to get on the road so they just washed up quickly and packed their things. They’d dressed identically in denim shirts, relaxed jeans and sneakers. Bette and Kit wore baseball caps turned backwards to keep the dust out of their hair. It wasn’t often that Kit saw her baby sister donning such well-worn attire except when she was staging a show at the gallery or perhaps spending a lazy afternoon at Central Park tossing a Frisbee with Angie. Kit studied her sister’s reflection in the mirror while she washed her hands. She could tell by the sad eyes staring back at her that Bette was trying hard to put up a good front but failing miserably. Her eyes always gave her away. They were still red rimmed from crying.
“Hey baby sis how you holding up?”
”I’m a mess Kit but I’ll be fine once we get home. I just want to be with my girls.”
Bette missed Tina and Angie desperately whenever she was away from them but it was more than that. With all the memories of her mother being stirred up these past few days the separation was even more intense.

GM! Thanks! It 9:26 am and I love awaking to another amazing post! PPS Now, this is how you do it! PPS
Hmm, what the hell did Melvin do to make Maxime leave Bette at such a young age. He had a lot off power, but what ever it was, she could have reached out later to Bette.
I am having a little trouble to understand what her reason was to leave her child and ultimate started a new family and didn’t mention Bette in both of her wills, she claimed to love Bette, but she never aknowledged her, like she didn’t excisted at all. Strange, however i hope you can shine light on it.
Thanks for the update!
Bibi28. Maxine didn’t start a new family. Both letters are written to Bette. There is no will so I am a little confused by your comment. You will learn more about why Maxine left but be assured like she said in letter, she had every intention of coming back for Bette.
Oops, , i am so sorry, i mixed up with another story, please forgive me!
Hey Bat, just wanted to let you know that I am still reading your outstanding story, but I am not going to write any comments other than praising your talent as I remember this part of the story very well and I am not willing to give anything away about the storyline. Thank you so much for bringing this story back – it was and still is one of my favorite stories and I am so happy to be able to read it again.
Thank you as1219. I hoped that those who remember the story wouldn’t give it away to new readers. Glad you are enjoying it again.
Hi BAT loved this update. And I would want you to give away anything. As said before, this is the first time I’m reading this story and I’m hooked. I still have a feeling that somehow Greg and Bette and Kit are connected. But I’m patiently waiting how this story will develope. Keep posting. Thank you for this wonderful story.
Still loving this story. Looking forward to the next update. Thanks
First time reading it.
Loving it.
Not going to speculate any more, I’m just waiting to see where you take me. I know I will love every word.
Thanks BAT :-)
Subconsciously BETTE feels a connection to GREG so she goes with COLE,still don’t see either one being the donor though.Whatever the reason MAXINE left,she never contacted BETTE even as she grew older is hard to imagine but it did happen so we wait to find out why.COLE calmed her but TINA slayed the doubts and hurt in the way BETTE needed.thanks
I’m reading for the first time this story,
and I’m looking forward to each chapter.
I will not judge the reasons that led Maxine to leave
his daughter, however knowing how was the father of Bette, I think
he made any threats to ward Maxine.
I loved the night of love of our couple.
The entire constellation.
