Jo nodded as she pulled to a stop at the top of last hill before they got to the immediate perimeter around the house. “Plus steel rods and other metal that you can’t see from here, to make it stronger.”
“But no floors? I don’t see any floors. I can only see rocks and stuff on the floors.” Becca sounded confused and excited.
Jo shook her head. “Technically, most of the house doesn’t have any formal floors. Just pebbles as the surface area, and all smoothened out, so I promise they won’t cut your feet. The flooring is warmed by a network of hot water pipes running under the whole house, so it’s pretty comfortable even in a winter storm. That’s a European technique.”
“The bedroom, which is the one spot that’s darkened over there, has wooden floors, though.”
Becca finally turned to look at Jo, exclaiming, “I have never seen anything like it!”
The look of pride and satisfaction in Jo’s eyes was unmissable. “I was inspired by a mountain lodge in Norway, built on the highest peak of Northern Europe – it was so beautiful, and delicate, but strong. I managed to get the owner to tell me about what he did, how he built it, etc Aside from using the right materials, the key was the architecture, and positioning of the house. He said his lodge had withstood the fiercest cold weather that those fabled Norwegian winters could throw at it so I figured, since our winters would never get to be as bad as the winters there, that type of architecture would work on this mountain.”
After a few more minutes of meditating on the postcard perfect scene, she slowly drove until they came to a stop under a roof that extended from the metal door that served as the front door of the house.
I have loved you for a thousand years. I’ll love you for a thousand more.
“Home.” She turned to smile at Becca, who was still gazing out her window at the house.
She reached behind them and pulled a thick woolen blanket from one corner of the back seat. Jo shook it out and draped it over Becca’s shoulders. “Another good thing about this place is I can control most of the systems with apps on my phone. I got the hot water started, which flows throughout the house, the heater’s humming, too, and so the house should be warm enough to enter by now. At least, I hope it is, because the app says it’s about 73 degrees inside.”

I am not familiar with these two characters – Becca and Jo. I went back and started at the beginning, so, these comments are for the two chapters.
Chapter 1 – Oh, my god. What a absolutely horrendous situation. Becca is so much in love with Jo and is ready to announce to her friends and family that she is in a relationship with a woman. Jo tries to convince her not to go through with her outing to her family, which does not work. On the way to the family gathering Jo ends the relationship with Becca for her own good. Needless to say Becca falls apart. The pain and anguish Becca feels is devastatingly clear to the reader. Becca even though she spends months under the care of her family and hours in therapy never reveals to her family and friends that her massive breakdown is the result of a lesbian relationship breakup. Becca continues to love Jo but continues to anguish over the sudden break up without knowing the reason why.
The story has a flash black to when the two characters meet and begin their romantic relationship. This is certainly an attraction at first sight which by all appearances develops into a deep love for both parties.
Chapter One ends when three years after the breakup, Becca is in New York City in time square when an electronic billboard catches her eye that features an androgynous model of male clothing – her ex girlfriend Jo.
Chapter Two – Three years after the abrupt termination of their relationship, Becca is talked into attending a charity event by her friends. At the event, across the room, she see her long lost love Jo. Jo sees her and works her way to Becca vicinity to say hello. The rest of the chapter tells what happens the rest of the evening. Much of the dialogue is in the mind of Becca. Becca and Jo find a secluded area where they can talk which does not go as well as either hopes. Jo takes an opportunity to serenade Becca an abbreviated explanation as to what happened three years ago. Jo gets an emergency alert on her property in upstate New York and needs to leave town at once. Jo agrees to take Becca with her for the weekend and the story goes on from there.
After getting to the “cabin”, its becomes obvious that Jo is still very much attracted to if not in love with Becca. The weekend adventures are very descriptive and preview what might be a very interesting weekend for Becca.
There is an indication that not just a reunion but a reconciliation may be in the works for these two.
I recommend this story and I encourage the author to add to this frequently as possible.
Hi Martha3128,
Happy you’ve “met” Becca and Jo, and that you’re into their story. Thank you for taking the time to post a recap, and thank you, also, for recommending it. I’ll try to post the next chapter as soon as I can. But, as you can see, each one runs quite long, between 9k to 10k words a chapter, even as I try to make each word count and flow smoothly.. Hope you’ll find the next one as enjoyable a read as the first two.
Take good care, in the meantime..
“Talk” to you soon!
