    Chapter XXIII – Love Soul Heaven Hell

    The midmorning hour of a late-March Sunday in Manhattan was unexpectedly chilly, goose-bump raising but lovely under a blazing blue sky.  Bette asked the cabbie to pull over on a side street off of 7th Avenue to allow them to disembark.

    “It’s a raw and cold day, I know,” Tina said as Bette thanked the cabbie who had cheerfully helped her lift the folded the stroller up from the trunk of the cab.  Tina was holding Angelica close to her body, attempting to shield the toddler from the cold winds that occasionally blew down the sleepy street.  A couple of bulky bags holding various things Bette had packed for Angelica were by her feet.

    Bette flicked the lock switch on the side of the frame of the stroller with one foot after setting the folded stroller down, then tugged at the back handle to unfold it.  The stroller whipped open in an instant, and Bette hurriedly arranged the cushion inside before Tina bent to carefully place Angelica into the stroller.  Once Angelica was safely strapped in, Bette locked the back wheels then walked around the front of the stroller to look under the canopy.   She played peek-a-boo with a teddy bear that she’d picked up from the Munich airport during a recent trip.  The bear, dressed in a stylish long-sleeved turtleneck and decked out in the colors of the German national soccer team, had quickly become one of Angelica’s favorite plush toys.

    “Peek-a-boo!,” she said softly, as she playfully covered her face, then peeked at Angelica with a wide smile from behind the soft toy.  Angelica squealed in delight, clapping her hands and reaching for the toy.  “Let’s cover her legs with a blanket, honey,” Tina said patiently from behind Bette.  Tina had secured the two large bags to each side of the stroller’s frame while Bette kept Angelica distracted.

    Bette reluctantly straightened up, and gave Angelica the toy, saying softly, “Here you go pumpkin.  Why don’t you keep your teddy warm and hug him for me?”  Angelica eagerly accepted the toy and gave the bear a tight hug.

    Tina smiled at the little girl as she carefully arranged the blanket over Angelica’s legs, and tucked it under the stroller’s cushion.

    When Tina was done, Bette zipped the additional flap covering the front of the stroller, designed to ward off the occasional stiff breeze.

    1. Glad you are back and with a great update! Good to see the girls are moving forward with plans for another baby. Interested to learn about Spencer Morrison. Still waiting to find out about the movie connection to Bette’s past as well. Thanks for the update.

    2. And Spencer finally shows his face again… *cue sinister music* The man’s very suspicious. Bette will hopefully be on high alert.

      Wonder what urgent thing Tina had to go to NC to speak to her mother about?

      Thanks for posting, looking forward to more.

    3. Thanks so much for the well written intrigue. I’m just now reading your work. Thanks for your creativity.
      Stories with twists keep my interest.

    4. Glad you’re back. From the flow of your story,I would say that you are refreshed and full of ideas. I love the intrigue of this tale. This is not the Spencer that Bette and Tina met at the charity affair? A friend of Eric? I’ll have to go back and reread that chapter. Maybe it’s not such a good idea for Bette to hang out in the high rollers circle until this issue is clarified. Tina is back in tough with her parents? When did that happen? Backstory, please. Lot of questions, lots of thoughts. Just want I like when I read your great chapters. Thanks again for posting.

    5. Just read back wrong guy. Steve was at the charity event. Glad to see that you included Jules and Diana in the storyline. They are a younger version of my fav ladies.

    6. Hoping to be refreshed soon, but not yet, unfortunately. This chapter was coming together in fits and starts over the past month, and I just needed to find a mental pause button at some point to be able to put a bow on it and post. Many thanks for the pm-s and support, in the meantime. I am trying to set things up for the wind-up to this book so please continue to let me know whether all of it is working or do alert me if I am hitting a false note anywhere.. Hope you’re all well, otherwise!
