    Author Notes:

    Connection: Chapter 3 of 5 at the most.

    Bette poked her head out her office door to ask her assistant a question.

     

    "Helen, I thought I was free over lunch, but you have something booked in here, today."

     

    "It’s one of the few times you had available and there are a few budgetary issues you and I need to discuss," Helen replied. "I could push it to later in the week, but it really shouldn’t take long."

     

    "No that’s fine, we can get it out of the way today," Bette was only disappointed because she thought she would be able to catch Tina for a call over her lunch hour since they wouldn’t be able to meet today. But she had made no such promise before they parted ways this morning, so she might as well get some work done. Her client should be arriving any minute for her last meeting of the morning, but the more she thought about it, the more she was likely to go without lunch if she didn’t make some alternate arrangements. "Helen, can we step out for lunch briefly? I didn’t bring anything and I don’t want to skip."

     

    "You’re not skipping lunch," Helen admonished Bette as if she was her own daughter. "I’ll pop out and grab something for us while you’re in the meeting, then you’ll have a chance to relax before the 1:30 appointment arrives."

     

    "What would I do without you?" Bette asked. "Thanks for doing that for me."

     

    "You know I always do my best to take care of you," Helen replied with a maternal tone. She quietly relished her role in the unfolding conspiracy, secure in the knowledge that Tina would be arriving shortly after noon to surprise Bette with a quiet lunch in the privacy of her office.

    ________________

     

    "Is she still in her meeting?" Tina asked Helen after pleasantries had been exchanged.

     

    Helen glanced at her watch. It was just after noon.

     

    "She’ll be done by 12:15 at the latest," Helen replied. "But she’s in the meeting room, so why don’t you go wait in her office and I’ll make sure she goes back there as soon as she’s done."

     

    Tina followed Helen’s suggestion, setting lunch up on the coffee table in Bette’s office, and then having a seat on the small couch that rested against the wall. Moments later she heard Bette’s voice in the hallway.

    2. yep..i agree with Tina too..something has got to change..BUT for both of them..they need to find out time to enjoy each others company.. just for be together sometimes ok another great chappy thanks ;o)

    4. I’d be very grateful if this “snippet” contains the answer on how to balance career and relationship… I’ve been working on it for a long time and haven’t gotten it right yet. Please have our girls show me the way! :)

      Thanks for a second serving of bliss today. :)

    6. Bette can grab Tina, but the girls can’t grab a break
      C’mon, B&T, figure it out for heaven’s sake
      You surely do want it, we know that you do
      So just keep on writing, I’m sure they’ll pull through
      And soon they’ll be happy and living their bliss
      After finding each other, realizing that’s what they’d missed.

    7. I’m serious, are people really this busy? Maybe I never realized just how boring I am. Perhaps boring is the wrong word, sounds more like lucky! I hope they get to spend spmetime together soon. I really feel bad for them. Something has got to give, not only for their relationship, but who can work that much??!!! Bette and TIna need to learn to stop and smell the roses! Seems like they should learn to delegate or cut some of their responsibilities…in the end, it will be worth it!

    10. i thought steph was a tease, but dayum girl. my toes are curling from frustration. °sigh* but saturday will be here soon enough. somethings gotta change. hell yeah!! this is such an excellent format jks. love it. and please when ya can.

    11. Oh my, JKS, two chapters in a day?! I know, I know, you said not to expect anymore 2fer days. Just want to thank you for this treat on this beautiful Sunday, just before another busy week starts.

      Something really has to change – for both of them, so that they can spend more time with each other. ARGH!!! Tell the Van Pelts to sit in the meeting room till their real appointment time. Sadly, Bette can’t do that to her clients, especially when this is the Bette Porter Gallery we’re talking about.

      I have a feeling that there’s gonna be another chapter before Saturday rolls around…is that right, JKS? Just to tease us? Please, please, please post soon.

    12. These snippets are like portions of my favorite desert, but the desert is so big that it needs to served in small portions, and rationed in order for me to fully enjoy it. I don’t know if that makes sense, but that’s what your stories are to me. Take your time, I’m not going anywhere.

    15. Couldn’t the Van Pelts just chilled until their scheduled meeting time? It isn’t Bette’s fault they were early. And if they can’t remember something as simple as a meeting time, maybe they don’t need to do business with one Bette Porter. (tee hee) My goodness. Poor Tina had to put her clothes back on again. Saturday can’t come soon enough.
      Wonderful update(s)…

    16. Poor Bette and Tina. I hope they work something out soon, for both their sakes! It makes me so happy how much they miss each other though. Absence does indeed make the heart grow fonder. I can’t wait for Saturday!! Thanks, JKS!

    17. Helen is quite the accomplice, isn’t she? That’s good that Tina can always use her as a resource.

      Nothing more frustrating than surprise-interuptis. Hormones should be at their peak by Saturday.

      Careers are nice, but you can’t cuddle up with them at night. It’s difficult to strike a balance, but the alternative is loneliness – and that’s even more difficult to cuddle up with.

    19. Loved this…and can actually see you stepping into this new, shall we say, modality. You’re going a great job with these snippets. I love it! Thanks, jks. You continually hit the mark and raise the bar (just thought I’d tell you that ’cause I don’t think you can see it, yet……..)!

    23. My goodness, these two last chapters are so full of mutual frustrations, it’s almost unbearable ! (lol)
      After such a thrilling building-up, one can easily imagine what will be Saturday’s fireworks !
      Our poor two… At least, they understand the current timing’s problem the same way and share the same wish to change the situation as soon as possible : that’s the essential point.

      Wonderful work ! From the beginning, I love to savour all your chapters like delicious desserts… thank you for the gift !

    24. I nearly missed this one ! My radar must be faulty .. lol. Poor Tina … that’s plain cruel, she brings “food” and gets no … nourishment … !
      Great update, they need some warmth hey, all this distance is cruel. You continue to write just so well, .. thank you.
