“You looked thirsty.”
Jo took a long sip without taking her eyes off of the road. “Thanks.”
Becca ran her fingertips over a soft crease of Jo’s smoking jacket, tracing the line from Jo’s shoulder to her wrist. “I like this jacket on you.”
One step closer
Jo carefully set the bottle down on a cupholder between them. Without looking away from the road, she somehow found the edge of Becca’s dress that had crept up to her knee as she shifted in her seat, fingers running the hem of the silk sheath. “We’ll have to find something warm for you to wear. You’ll freeze in this when we get to my place.”
Outside, snowflakes floated lazily in loopy circles, some caught in the halogen lights beaming out of the SUV.
I have died every day waiting for you
“We’re gonna talk about everything?”
Jo took a long time to answer. Becca was sure she’d heard the question, but she didn’t know whether it was the question itself, or the slippery roads she was focused on that explained Jo’s silence.
Darling, don’t be afraid
They got to a stretch of road that felt more firm. Jo slowed noticeably and took a full look at Becca. “I suppose we’ll get to everything. So, do you think we can build something out of this, even after everything that’s happened?”
There was something in those blue eyes, revealing the briefest dream Jo seemed to harbor of a future that could be theirs together. In a way that wasn’t quite the same as what they’d had. Maybe better?
I have loved you for a thousand years
The look in Jo’s eyes shook Becca. The question filled her core with a strange mix of excitement, anxiety, nervousness. There’d been so many scenarios she’d imagined would play out when she and Jo would finally see each other, and get to talk. Like really talk. But a question like that wasn’t something she’d imagined Jo would ask so early into the talk.
Jo took Becca’s silence to mean she was thinking hard about the question. She picked up speed, and focused again on the road. “Okay, I guess the next few days will tell us if there are reasons to believe that one day things may be different.”

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!
