Jo’s smile in response was a sweet, teasing emoji.
“Something in that lizard section of your brain making you regret you came, already?”
Direct hit to the core of my thought process. She had a knack for doing that.
I was right to be nervous about seeing her, talking to her, and wanting to be with her. What did my last therapist say? Oh yeah: “Becca, you need to think deeply about the difference between what you want and what you need before you can move on from her.” I knew right away that this was the therapist who hadn’t fallen in love, hard, because she couldn’t get it, this crazy madness of being in love. I could never explain well enough that my problem was that I both wanted and needed Jo. Jo made me feel safe, which is what I needed, as well as extremely zoomy inside, which is what I had craved for since forever – she just had that edge I’d been looking for in a partner, and it only took a few minutes with Jo at the gala to make me feel all the feels, again.
“I really want to talk things out, but I need to go to my place upstate tonight,” Jo had explained, as they’d left the gala. Something about an alert sent to her phone by the home security system. “I wish I could stay and talk, but I really have to go.”
Becca had been highly skeptical, and said so. Pretty convenient for an emergency like that to pop up, just when they were about to have this big talk. But the app in Jo’s phone was indeed flashing red about something. And Jo’s anxiety felt very real.
“Ok. So, when?,” Becca had asked, tapping her heel on the sidewalk, glaring at Jo, not liking the fact that she had the butterflies-thing going on in her tummy, as Jo held her hand, rubbing her thumb slowly over Becca’s skin.
“Monday night? I should be back in the city by then.”
Maybe it was Becca’s instinctive pout or the disappointed look in her eye that made Jo ask her something she’d never expected. “Sorry, that came out wrong. I really do want us to talk. How about you come with me? It’s a long weekend, anyway, so we can take our time. You’d like it up there. It’s peaceful. Quiet.”

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!
