She heard Peter’s grunt clearly enough. “Fine, I can take a hint. I’ll let you go. As long as you give me a call before noon, tomorrow.” After a quick goodbye, Jo pocketed her phone and headed back to the SUV as fast she could march her way through the snow drift to retrieve her weekend bag and box of food and kitchen supplies.
Okay, the alarm’s sorted. Everything in the house seems ok. Even the hot water system, which had acted up two weeks ago, is working really well. Nothing will get in the way of a smooth couple of days with Becca.
I hope.
It had taken longer than she expected it would to take to figure out what had happened to her alarm system. At first, much of the reason why it had taken so long was because half her mind was still on Becca, and how confused she probably was. Luckily, Peter had a good idea about what the underlying reason could be. Something about a software update that had caused similar problems in the alarm systems of other clients of Peter who were using the same set-up as the one he’d installed in Jo’s property. So, when she’d called Peter to ask him to check her system by remote from his office, since she couldn’t figure out what was going on, he was ready to guide her on how to shut down and restart the whole system so that the software updates uploaded without further problems. He also stayed on the phone to walk her through resetting the main detectors in the perimeter around the house.
Although she’d called Becca with updates while she and Peter worked on the alarm system, after the second call to Becca, Jo had the distinct impression that Becca’s romantic feelings had considerably cooled off while she waited for Jo to finish. That was a three alarm warning in itself. And it wasn’t something that could be fixed with shutting down and restarting things with a software update.
She became even more concerned when Becca hadn’t greeted her when she returned to the house. “The alarm system’s all fixed now. And everything else is working well, too.”
Still no response.
“Becca? Becs? I’m back. Everything’s ok.”

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!
