Love’s Recovery
Chapter 14
Alice sat on the couch tapping her pencil against the pad of paper she held firmly in her grip. She barely noticed Angelica and Shane making a tent in the living room, draping sheets over the designer furniture that graced Bette and Tina’s home.
“There’s a lead here,” Alice mumbled, catching Shane’s attention as she draped the last sheet over the couch.
“What lead?” Shane smiled as Alice looked up over her reading glasses to focus on her friend. “Are you actually working on a story today?”
“I’m working on the best kind of story,” Alice replied with a grin. “One that will answer the questions enquiring minds want to know.”
“What enquiring minds?”
“Don’t you wonder why we’re babysitting my amazing Earth Child at her home and were specifically ordered not to go out?”
Shane thought about Alice’s question, but before she could answer, Alice continued to fire various questions her way.
“Don’t you find it odd that Maxie ran out of The Planet in tears as if it were on fire?”
Shane opened her mouth, but Alice gave her no time to answer.
“What about the fact that Kit followed her and now we’re here babysitting for the day? And let’s face it, even with coffee this morning, Porter was cranky as hell.”
“Maybe we should just enjoy our time with Angelica and leave the rest alone?” Shane quickly interjected, hoping to cut off Alice’s tirade.
“Or maybe not,” Alice suggested as she scribbled notes on the pad of paper in her lap. “When I last talked to Tina, she was worried too and I know whatever happened had to do with Maxie.”
“I love Maxie!” Angelica offered, popping her head out of one of the pretend tents.
“I know you do, Half-pint.” Alice smiled knowingly at Angelica before she focused back on Shane. “What do you think Maxie did?”
“How would I know?”
“What would make Bette so upset that she bolted like that?”
“Maybe she doesn’t like the polish she used on her furniture?” Shane grinned at her own sarcasm, hoping Alice would pick up on it and drop the subject altogether.
“No, I doubt Bette would notice,” Alice answered, oblivious to Shane’s sarcasm. “She doesn’t pay much attention to polish, rags, or even if she owns a vacuum.”

Soo good. Nice writing and please post soon.
Kit better hope Tina is not far behind because she will need T’s help to calm Bette down lol…Love this story hope you can post another chapter soon…
I’ve missed this story. Thank you for posting. I hope Bette gives Maxine a chance. Thank you again.
Shane’s yoda powers seem to rubbing off a bit on wacky Alice. Great update. I’m looking forward to more.
Shane and Alice make good sense. I hope Bette will consider what they said. PPS!!
Shane and Alice are right about their insight about Bette and Maxine. I know that Bette is beyond pissed at Maxine and if I was in her shoes I am not sure how I would react, but I hope that she will allow some conversation between herself and her mother. Thanks to proofie for doing such a wonderful job.
Thanks for the update.PPS
Thanks for the wonderful update! I love hoe Shane and Alice tried to put some sense into angry-Bette. Bette needs to think about what they say. PPS
Hey Gumby, I’m a silent reader… until now. I just wanted to say that I love you’re stories. You are one of my favorite authors. So, PPS! LOL! Greetings from Germany…
I did not find this chapter a filling at all. It was important for Bette to hear her friend’s point of view. It might help her to decide to listen to what her mother ha to say. Still here and very much interested in this story..!
Bette must truly be in pain to ask the question how Maxine could love her when she doesn’t even know her. Now that Bette is a mother she knows her love for Angelica would never stop…even if they were separated this moment and she never saw or talked to Angelica again. Thanks Gumby!
I´ve missed this story.
Excellent update. Bette would be denying Angie the pleasure of having a grandmother. Please continue as soon as possible.
Please Bette, give Maxine a chance (Easy said than done. PPVS
