Mike nodded, as he wrote notes down on his pad. Bette continued, “And Cindy Cooper was seeing Brett Robner in college. Cindy and I dated for only a short time, and she went back to Brett after we split. Things got to be pretty serious between them, I’d heard after, and I think Brett uprooted himself from Chicago and moved to LA to be with Cindy. But Cindy broke it up with him about a month after he moved to LA. She kept trying to get together with me after that. I think Brett got wind of that, and even came by a few times to check if she and I resumed dating. But I kept telling her, and him when he came by, that I was with Jodie by then. I don’t know what happened to either of them after all that.”
Brom was shaking his head, suppressing a smile as he tapped out notes on his tablet and listened to Bette. “Tough to get over you, huh?” he asked, in a teasing tone. Bette pursed her lips in a half-smile, half-frown, and playfully punched his well-muscled shoulder. I’m never going to hear the end of all this from Brom, when this is all over, she thought.
“And, as you know, Eric is Tina’s ex,” she ended.
After a pause, when she didn’t add to what she’d just told them, both Brom and Mike asked simultaneously, “And Spencer Morrison?” Bette shook her slowly, trying to draw out any memory she could recall about that name. She shut her eyes, focusing on the name, trying to link it with any of the names Mike had mentioned. She was drawing a blank, however. She began to grow frustrated, Who the fuck is he?
Bette opened her eyes, and with a frown asked quickly, “Give me a second, would you?” She turned to her contacts list in her tablet, and opened the file she’d been working on the day she’d gone over the art holdings with Tina. As she scoured through her notes, Brom and Mike waited patiently. “None, nothing in my notes, contacts, art file,” she finally reported disappointedly, after five minutes of cross-checking and running searches through her notes and file.
She blew a breath out, “I don’t remember that name at all. He wasn’t a client or anything in the gallery; his name isn’t in my contacts list, I’ve never come across him anywhere: LA or here in New York.” They all looked at one another and kept silent, each thinking their own thoughts about what this could mean.

Love this story. Keeps me guessing. Thanks
Hi thanks for the post! I’m sure its going to be someone we least expect it to be. PPS
I’m so glad you are back. Thank you for the excellent update. What a tangled web Bette does weave! There are so many twists and turns to even venture a guess who presents the most danger to Bette and Tina. Is it Eric seeking revenge against Tina? Is it that Lauren person? Her family has a huge art collection to archive. Not Kelly or Jodie, please. So many questions to be answered. Please continue to post.
Omg, this is a amazing story.
I am not sure i ever commented, but this story has everything, Love, danger, intrigues
I wonder who is after Bette and Tina. Maybe a (supposed) close friend of them.
Thank you for sharing your story with us.
Great chapter!!! I so hope its not Jody going after Bette. This story just keeps getting better. Thank you PPS
Hi there, Thanks for checking in! Hope you’re all well (and warm. This snow season is hanging around too long, don’t you think?)
Am trying to figure out how to add a music file — the last scene in this chapter can be way cooler (or hotter!) with the song I wrote the scene for/to. I don’t think what I tried, in trying to hotlink the music, was working. Have figured out the last few chapters for the book … and they rock! (according to random people I asked to preview outlines for them). Just trying to find the time to write them all out. But let me know what you think as they roll out :-)
Oh, the plot definitely grows thicker! Spencer’s the obvious choice of bad guy… too bad that they didn’t let his surname slip, else Tina may have been able to help. That omission may prove costly…
Glad you’re back, post soon! Cheers :)
Oh my, this is very intense and interesting. I hope that the girls are not put through too much danger. Boy oh boy Bette was a busy girl.
Hmmm… I wonder who is after Bette? Can’t figure this one out and that’s a good thing. Post soon please!
Please just let me express my enjoyment of your writing skills and your creativity. I have been a silent reader probably longer
then you have been alive. I am one of the “old school” generation much experience with dial phones stamp and letter for mail and a dictionary for spelling check. But, due to my desire to continue to read your talent I have traversed the electronic midfield to stay with the new site. Though the idea was very intimidating to me, all for the sake of reading your entertaining stories. Please continue to do so and I promise to move forward with this electronic wizardry Thank you for your creations
Love them and they need to be safe
