Becca fell asleep half an hour into the drive. “Had too much to drink at the gala,” she muttered as she dozed off. Jo hadn’t looked her way because she was so focused on the road, but Becca saw the teasing smile cross that cute face, nevertheless. “Sure, babe. This’ll take a while. I think snow’s coming. I’ll need to check with my friend at the sheriff’s office about the roads …” Becca had dozed off before Jo had finished talking.
Now, a lizard brain joke. Becca chanced a playful nudge on Jo’s shoulder, hoping it wouldn’t break Jo’s concentration on the roads. “Ok, fine. Maybe my lady lizard brain is making me question myself. What was I thinking, agreeing to go with you? How do I know this’ll be good for me?”
Jo had a ready answer for that. “Because you know that we need to talk to each other until we’re both ok.”
Becca sighed and looked out her window. What did I say? You both want and need Jo.
Ok, again, whatthefuck is happening here?
There was a song playing softly somewhere around them in the warm cocoon of Jo’s SUV.
“Can you turn it up?”
Heart beats fast
That smile again. Jo tapped something on the touchscreen control panel mounted on the dashboard. She tapped the “rewind” arrow to replay the song, which soon started with simple piano chords, then a strumming guitar melody softly entered.
Colors and promises
“I like it. Her voice is just this side of achy.”
“Yeah. I used to think of you a lot whenever I heard it.”
How to be brave?
Becca stole a quick glance at Jo. “Did you? Think of me a lot?”
Wistful smile. “Too much, Becca.”
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall?
Then, as if inhaling, the wind and snow quit blowing their way, shifted direction, then exhaled on the opposite side of Hudson River to their left. Visibly relaxed now, Jo reached out and laid her hand on Becca’s thigh, squeezed, then let go. “Way too much.”
But watching you stand alone, all of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
Becca noticed Jo’s lips looked parched. She unscrewed the untouched Perrier bottle nestled on the side pocket of her door, gently pulled on Jo’s hand and nudged the bottle into the palm of the freed hand.

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!
