Vignettes: Chapter 56
Twenty years later
The tall blonde grabbed the ringing telephone as she tossed her purse on the couch. She slipped out of her heels and fell into the couch, resting her head on the cushion. Looking at the caller id, she sighed and rolled her eyes already knowing what the person on the other end of the line was calling for. Instead of answering it, she let it ring until the voicemail picked up. She glanced at her watch and decided to move into the kitchen and start dinner. Her buzzer rang and she scuffled to the door to let her visitor in.
“Smells great in here.” A tall man bent down and kissed her. “What’s for dinner?”
“A big chicken salad. I didn’t have time for anything else. Why didn’t you let yourself in?”
“I left my keys here.” He pointed to the table.
“Joel, you’re lucky I was here tonight.” They sat down across from each other.
“Oh Kody, you know you love me even if I forget my keys every other day.”
She smiled and shook her head. “I don’t know what I was thinking when I gave you those keys. More hassle than anything.”
Joel raised an eyebrow and grinned. “Hassle? I’ll keep that in mind in bed tonight.”
Before she could respond, the phone rang again. She looked at the caller id and rolled her eyes. “This is like the millionth time she has called tonight.”
“Who is it?’
“My mother.”
“Let me talk to her.” He reached for the phone.
“No way. Besides, you don’t even know which one it is.”
“With the look you just gave it must be Tina. Come on… hand it over.”
“No.”
Joel jumped up and managed to wrestle the phone out of Kody’s hands and answer it just in time.
“Hello?”
“Joel? Is that you?”
“I hope so or your daughter has another man in the apartment.”
“Well then it better be you. What are you two up to tonight?”
“We were just actually eating dinner.” Joel said.
“I should let you go then.”
“No, Tina, it’s not a problem. We were just finishing. What’s up?”

Kudos for the award, this is a great series. Chasemenow and Seahurst both took us into the future to great effect and your chapter of 20 years ahead continues that theme beautifully as well.
Well overdue — so glad about the award. I’ve been enchanted with your writing since Soul Harvest. You’re amazing. Thanks!
I Have really enjoyed reading your story from the very beginning. I wish you wouldn’t have skipped forward so many years. I wanted to read if Tina finally excepted Bette’s proposal, and where did this other kid come from? I just loved this story and wish there wouldn’t have been so many years skipped.

Great chapter. Congrats on the award. Love this.
Congratulations on the award. This has been such a fabulous story to follow.
I liked the leap in years. I’m hoping that the pictures and such for their anniversary will lead to flashbacks? It would be nice to see how their lives unfolded after they reunited. Plus, we’ll need to get to know Zoe!
The eye rolling and the phone conversation was just about as real as it comes. I could almost hear my own phone ringing and the interrogation that would ensue if I picked it up! Can’t wait for more.
