From Afar
Jackie made her way into Tinas office sometime later. Popping her head in Hey, so did your evening turn out OK?
Hey Jackie, Thanks for taking care of the pictures and
letting me run out that way. Did you get
out of there OK then? Tina asks as she leans back in her chair.
Oh yeah, The pictures went well. You know they will look so great on our Wall
of Awards. Jackie says.
Thats it. Tina says almost to herself.
Jackie hearing Tina just looks at her Whats it?
Tina looks up to Jackie with a knowing look I was just
sitting here marveling at how there is nothing here that stands up and shouts
Bette Porter but you know the wall is it.
It shouts Bette to me its the one thing that has her fingerprints all
over it.
Chapter 77 – Confirmation
Jackie just stared at Tina.
It wasnt a question about what Bette had influenced or even if it was
Bette. No it was a statement of fact
about Bette. The question was what Bettes
lingering touch was. Jackie didnt know
what to say. If it had been
the Bette reference as just a fishing expedition. But with Tina this wasnt her style. She really knows. The only thing that Jackie could conclude was
that Bette must have told her. After
processing Tinas single statement this far, Jackie hoped Bette had in fact
told her and not someone else. Then Tina
would be on a fishing trip and Jackie decided she wasnt about to reveal any
more without Tina confiding more.
Looking intently at Tina, Jackie continued on with her
conversation as if Tina had revealed nothing.
Well Im hoping we get some nice life size prints which will bring the
whole wall to life. It will be such a
nice statement as people walk in.
It was Tinas turn to look at Jackie. As she considered her, Tina was deciding how
much she wanted to ask Jackie about Bettes involvement versus how much she
wanted to hear from Bette herself. Tina
knew she wanted to understand how Bette put this all together but she didnt
want to make Jackie uncomfortable. Tina
just knew Bette would tell her anything she needed to know. This made her smile a coy cat eating the
canary smile.

Jwet – you’re such a gem; each of your chapters keeps me glued to my computer screen (when I need stronger glasses, I shall blame you?!!).
To be honest, I don’t know how I want Alice/Tina/Bette and this secret to play out. I liked how you always used Alice as comic relief and to share information, but you also use Alice as the path between Tina and Bette. Then again, you didn’t let Alice know that Bette was in the delivery room. I keep wondering if Bette will tell her or will Dr. Wilson “let slip” that Bette was there; prehaps when they have to take Anna in for a routine check-up? Of course, these and other questions I have not thought of will be answered? Soon?
Thanks for such a wonderful story; you continue to paint a lovely portrait of people with love in their hearts.
Thanks for another incredible chapter!

Great chapter as always. I hope Alice doesn’t cause any harm. Can’t wait for more.
Now I just have to wait for your postings..great chapter and I can’t wait for Tina and Bette to talk more. Hmmm..birth of the baby. ; )
Sorry about not commenting every chapter…this story is so wonderfully written, that I find myself just as excited to read the next chapter now, as I was when you first started writing it. Thanks so much for the incredible amount of time and talent you put into creating, and then telling this story!
Hi Jwet! You’ve done a fantastic job, once again! As I was reading this chapter I beagan to realize another appealing thing about your story…even the side characters like Jackie, Grace and James have a depth to them that is palpable. You obviously put a lot of thought and care in the development of each chapter and for that I am really grateful! Thanks for the time spent on creating this rich body of work! (Now, that said…can I have a cookie?;) Please post again soon!!!!
Poor Alice…searching out the mystery that’s already been dissipated.
Great chapter, I love the inter action between Jackie and Tina. Jackie:The famous Bette Porter has finally met her match in Tina -Good shot. But Jwet I need a little help please I may be a little dense but I don’t see the connection between MYV and For Tina my love. Could you please help me out. Thanks, and Holla back soon.
JWet,
This story just gets more and more delicious as time goes by and some of the answers unfold.
The chess game between Tina and Jackie was wonderfully realised. You managed to convey the inner workings of both characters as they each tried to jab then parry their opponent in to confessing their real motive. The threads of this secret finally unraveled after much nit picking by both parties.
Jackie’s sense of relief is matched by mine own as a reader. At last the truth will set us free!
Now Alice’s dilemma has a poetic justice as she tries to ferret away at the truth while we all know that Tina is conscious of the broad brush strokes if not all of the fine details yet. Also, the morning after the night before is always interesting as self awareness can be a cruel mistress.
Shane’s gentle teasing is wondrous as Alice tries to get her brain and gear to rev up and roar out the comic comebacks. I love the whole “Buying the bakery†conversation.
You have totally nailed all the quirks and idiosyncrasies as dialogue traits of all the main players.
Questions to be answered in the next chapter (hopefully) include:
Did Jackie have the proverbially angel on one side with the devil on the other as she resolved how to play it with Tina? Do Tina and Jackie have poker faces? Will a trip to Vegas be on the cards? Will a chess match between Karpov and Jackie be the next fund-raising event for the MYV foundation?
Does Shane provide lessons in her uncanny ability to see every thing that is going on around her? What blackmail technique has Dana really used to shut Alice up? Is Alice gonna visit Peggy Peabody as that money had to come from someone? Was Melvin related to the Getty’s or Hughes’ for that size of bankroll?
Will be waiting with much anticipation for your next post.
Hope you have a fabulous weekend; fishing, friend and family. And not forget the boat.
Your Loyal Fan
I’m so happy that Bette told Tina….Great job Jwet as ususal…Alice is crazy lady..THANK YOU….
Alice, girl- you late!
I’m going to enjoy watching Alice snoop out the foundation, after everyone else knows all about it!
Thanks for letting it be all good between Tina and Bette. I don’t think I could stand the angst of another breakup between them!
hey- i’ve been a little MIA of late and for that i apologize. life is insane as usual but just wanted to let you know how much i enjoy your updates. hope alls well and thanks again.
A dog with a bone!!!!!!!!!
I’m really looking forward to Alice’s reaction when Tina says “I know Alice..” LOL! I look forward to every chapter :)
Well, after the night that Alice had it’s better that she can smell where to go, rather than she just…smells.
I loved the interaction between Jackie and Tina. Sort of like watching two people fencing. I’m glad that Jackie told Tina that Bette turned in her key. That again, should make it easier for Tina to see that Bette didn’t orchestrate everything.
I’m getting the feeling that Alice is in a sprint race, but will arrive at the finish line only to find that she came in last. Of course, that’s alright with me.
Can’t wait to see where this goes next.
Damn Alice is crazy and so funny, love her!
