    Author Notes:

    “Because you need to live the life you wanted.” She fell silent for a moment and added, in a more quiet voice, “Letting you go was the most unselfish thing I ever did in my life and…..,” she hesitated, “…..also, the hardest.”

    The Adventures of Bette Porter and Sissee Gardner After Yale, (Part 8, Chapter 1)
    PART EIGHT: ORANGE GROVE, CALIFORNIA

    Chapter 1

    Howie and I got married in Las Vegas on June 1, 1986. Our first son, Kyle, was born on September 22nd. We bought a lovely home in Orange Grove just after his birth. It was a comfortable California ranch style home with a used-brick frontage and tiled roof. It was also, in a quiet cul-de-sac which was a very safe place to raise children.

    I had stopped working for the Post just before I gave birth and never went back. Since our home was new, everyone in the neighborhood was also new and I soon learned what coffee klatching was all about. It was a whole different, very domesticated life and while I was not really happy, I learned to be content.

    A day did not go by that first year that I did not think of Bette Porter. Howie would catch me often staring off into space and he knew where I had gone. And if perhaps he could not really know exactly where I slipped off to, he surely knew with whom.

    He was very patient with me and became a very affectionate, caring husband as well as an incredible dad and great provider

    Then one day while the baby was sleeping and Howie was at work, we got one of our California winter rain storms. It made me think of Bette and I one night in Newport Beach when we had made love while the rain beat against the roof with a vengeance. I felt an overpowering need to be with her again. I knew she would not see me but I wanted to at least hear the sound of her voice. My plan was to call her house, assuming she would be at the gallery at that time of day. All I wanted to do was listen to her recorded message. Just to listen and not say anything.

    I dialed her number, still clear in my head and heart. I heard the ring. Once. Twice. Then I heard her actual voice say, “Hello?”

    I gasped with surprise, and hoped she did not hear me. It was like a sudden bolt of electricity going through my body. I knew I should immediately hang up but I was so riveted, so suspended in such anticipation, that I simply froze.

    1. kbergin47, Thank you so much for your comments. It sure is nice to have someone like you around. Bette and Sissee have a destiny. It may be Bette and Tina in TLW but this is not TLW. Never lose site of the title here – the Adventures Of……..I promise you many more adventures.

    3. techgirl, I am really glad to see your post. Thanks for still being a reader. Sissee the writer knows what you mean about Bette being one of a kind but none of us knows how true that is and will continue to be like Sissee the character knows and feels it day in and day out, until………well, hopefully you will keep reading and find out what their destiny is.

    4. I like this story, and in some ways I feel sorry for Sissee, but in other ways I find her pathetic. Maybe she’ll find happiness in upcoming chapters. I hope so.

    5. Wow Sissee, great chapter! I feel so bad for Sissee, not being able to be with her true love. It will probably be a void that she may never fill. Thanks for filling us in on her life. I love this story, but you already know that. Have a great week!

    6. My dear September, Yes, Bette and Sissee will meet again and actually, Bette is STILL single when you come right down to it. I know what you are saying though. Bette will eventually meet Tina and Sissee will be there to see it happen.

    7. I can’t wait for the next update. I need to know how it goes on! I wonder how they meet again. Will Bette really be singel even after 8 years.

    8. Id18, Thank you for your comment about being tossed over the Sissee character. There’s a whole lot more coming in this story about both Bette and Sissee’s happiness or lack of it. I hope you will continue to read on.
