    Author Notes:

    Twist on the B&T meeting

     

     

    Peggy respected Bette and generally didn’t like to lie to people she held in high regard but she had promised Tina a long time ago to respect her wishes in regards to her artwork.

     

     

    “The more powerful pieces hold significant emotional value for the artist which is why the artist chooses not to open up their art to the public.”

     

     

    “Then why did they part with them in the first place.” Bette said not relenting in her questions. She had a nagging feeling that Peggy wasn’t being entirely truthful, but she couldn’t figure out why.

     

     

    “Many years ago I sponsored this young artist…to this day we are still very close.” Peggy conveniently left out the part where the beautiful young artist later married Peggy’s only son and was still very much a part of her family.

     

     

    Bette furrowed her brow as she was trying to piece together what Peggy was telling her. “So you’re the only person they sell their artwork to? But wait you said this isn’t your house does that mean that these paintings belong to Tina?”

     

     

    “Tina and my son William lived here—that is until he passed. William was very close to the person who created these paintings…god they were practically inseparable up until his death.”

     

     

    Peggy had a melancholy expression gracing her features at the mere thought of her son’s premature death. Bette looked back at the paintings wanting to know more about the artist but felt that pressing the issue would further sadden Peggy.

     

     

    So with a sigh Bette backed down. “I’m sorry Peggy I didn’t know,” Bette remarked with genuine sympathy. She had never heard that Peggy had lost a son nor had Helena every remarked on losing a brother.

     

     

    Peggy had a sad smile thankful that Bette had considerately ended her pursuit of the artist that she was so intrigued by. She gestured for Bette to walk out of the room with her. They silently walked out towards the patio overlooking the beach. As they were served their lunch Peggy could see that Bette’s wheels were still turning and decided to explain further.

     

     

    “William was my oldest child from my first marriage…before I became a Peabody. We divorced shortly after I had William and then I met Edward Peabody. Edward welcomed William with open arms he even gave him his last name, but when my son grew up he wanted to be more inconspicuous. In an effort to blend in more he used his given last name, William Barton. It gave him a bit more freedom to be himself without all the baggage of being a Peabody. So when William Barton was in a car accident three years ago it didn’t garner as much interest as it would have if he was William Peabody. The artist created the bulk of their paintings in response to my sons death it was their way of grieving. Those paintings are almost always locked in that room, but as I said earlier I opened the room because like you I have a love for art.”

    3. oh yay, another b and t beginning…this sounds very promising…seems like i missed chapter 1 so will go backwards now…love your other story too, post when u can ok?

    8. Oh MY Fricken God, another Toribio story!!!!!!!!I luv it. This is so good, but don’t forget about helping hand. I luv that one too!You better be posting soon, cause i am greedy toooooo.

    10. Any begining of B&T is always welcomed, and this one’s looking so good. Wonder why Tina is hiding that she’s an artist, but I’m sure Alice will find out.

    11. Another wonderful story from you. I love how your brain works. Bette and Tina do seem to have a connection and Peggy saw it from the moment they laid eyes on one another. What will Bette think or feel when she finds out the artist that she wants to get to show her work is Tina? Great post and thanks for taking the time to post.

    12. Toribio, this is just awesome! I know you said you didn’t know how far you’d go with this, but please, please, please, continue with this! This is such a great start! I loved their meeting and amazing connection. Of course, I LOVE “a helping hand…”, but if you could pursue both… Even if you don’t post too often… I mean, I really love this new story, please keep it up. Thanks very much!

    13. Hmm… I thought Peggy just told Bette about how Tina’s parents weren’t happy with Tina’s sexual preference? And that she had paid Tina’s university tuition fees? Maybe I’ve mistaken again :P PPS… love this story and eager to see how it’s going to turn out :D

    18. Hey Toribio, That was awesome. I lvoe all the intrigue in this mysterious take on Bette and Tina’s beginning. It is good to see that Peggy is still in charge of everything; the matriarch protecting her family and friends. The instant that Bette and Tina met there was a real sense that neithers life would ever be the same again. Alice;s confusion at Bette’s actions and admission on how Tina had affected er was brilliant. I could imagine Alice sitting there open mouthed at Bette’s statements. The whole idea of getting a picture or necklace from Tina and the Center was delicious. The connection between them was palpable. More please of this pleasurable and addictive read. Many thanks, Your Loyal Fan.
