Out of Closet (B&T time-travel romance)
Chapter 1: Let’s the adventure begin…from past to the present
Place: Orange County, CA
Year: 1885
Elizabeth Porter opened her eyes and shut them right away because the sun, penetrating through the partly opened curtains, was blinding her. She decided to wait a little before getting up so she could clear her mind from the events of yesterday.
Now, it all seemed like a horrible dream but still, even just by thinking about it, Elizabeth felt her palms getting all sweaty again, her cheeks blushing with anger that was building inside of her. Her mind went wandering back to the events of her life and especially the emotional roller coaster she rode over the last month.
Elizabeth was a daughter of wealthy landowner in Orange County, who acquired all his wealth during the Gold Rush in 1848. Melvin Porter was a very calculating man and clearly knew what he wanted in his future. He invested all his money in some land grants, and began building farms, factories and railroads and became one of the richest men in California.
He married Maxine Johnson, a daughter of one of his equally fortunate friend’s, who was famous for her beauty and intellect, and especially for her love of arts. She was always patronizing local artists and even opened several art galleries in the valley.
Before making all his money in the Sierra foothills, Melvin was briefly married to his childhood sweetheart, who died in childbirth, leaving Melvin with a beautiful daughter, Katherine. Being young and single, he sent her away to be raised by his sister, but after he married Maxine, Melvin brought his 8 year old daughter to live with them.
Elizabeth was born soon after and Katherine became very protective of her little baby sister, who affectionately called her Katie when she learned to speak.
When Elizabeth turned 18, she suddenly developed an uncontrollable passion for art. To Maxine’s surprise, art turned out to be more than just a temporary fascination for her daughter, and she hired several tutors over the years to support Elizabeth’s obsession.
Elizabeth was brought back to reality by the sound of chimes outside of her window. She stretched her long and slender limbs, but decided against the idea of getting out of the bed so early. She still had a splitting headache from the horrible events of last night and she wanted to sleep it off.
