”If this getup doesn’t catch her eye, I don’t know what will!” she told herself.
Soon she heard a tone beep out of their home system: this told her the driver had arrived. She tucked the green throwback Loubotin ”pharaoh” clutch to her side as she descended the steps from the second floor of their duplex to reach the first floor. She quickly re-arranged a few flowers of the large bouquet she’d brought home on her way back from the spa as she walked by them on her way to their front door. She peered into the iris scan by the front door to activate the security system, and then shut the door behind her.
”To the party please, David,” she asked the driver as she sat back.
”I didn’t know you were joining the party, ma’am. I apologize if I was late picking you up tonight …” he said again as he eased the car forward.
”That’s alright,” Tina answered with a smile. ”I needed the extra time to get ready, anyway.”
He returned her smile briefly through the rear-view mirror, and then re-focused on the road. Traffic was light this late spring Sunday evening, but he drove carefully anyway. He switched the music playing in the background to the part of the “Water Music” by Handel that he remembered Tina telling him always put her in a good mood.
”Does anyone know I’m coming?” Tina asked after thanking him for putting that piece on.
”No, ma’am. I didn’t tell anyone, just like you’d instructed.”
”Maybe everyone still thinks you’re arriving tomorrow, as your original schedule indicated?” he added. He’d been scheduled to leave for the airport at 1 the next day to get Tina. Bette had asked him to leave for the airport that early, ”to make sure you’ll be there in plenty of time before Tina arrives.”
”Good!” Tina answered him now, with a naughty glint in her eye. ”I don’t want to spoil the surprise.”
When they arrived in the building of the headquarters of the foundation Bette headed, though, Rose spotted her getting out of the car.
”Tina!” she exclaimed in surprise. ”You’re back!”
”Hi Rose,” Tina responded, looking past her quickly to see if Bette was close by, and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Bette wasn’t. They exchanged a warm embrace. Rose’ son Jason and Angie had basically grown up together, and had formed their own close friendship, just as their mothers had.

Amazing beginning with the look in the future, but you or rather Tina mentioned only Angelica, where is the other child of them? ! Maybe i am too fast and will you get into that in the next chapter.
What a mess, that whole sniper attack, thank god that Diana seems to survive it.
Skydancer, you are a absolute brilliant writer! Thanks for sharing it.
Fantastic to have another post on this story!
Thank you for the look at the future to lessen our worry on the immediate storyline!
Impatiently waiting for Chapter 30!
Bravo on the epic update! Loved their unyielding love and sexy devotion even years later. Swoon.
Thanks again,

Great update. I can sense Miller is going to be trouble for Bette and Tina. In your next update, I hope you answer a question I have about Miller. If Tina originally knew Miller as Georgina Keller, a stock-broker in London, during her university years, how did TIna recognize her as “Cam Miller” in the hospital? I sense another sub-story there.
You’re right! (Minx) Answers to these and other ?s shortly when I post the last chapter in a way that I hope puts a neat bow around the whole package.
Happy New Year and welcome back. As always I am intrigued by your storybook. I am glad to see that 15 years later Bette and Tina still carry the fire of love. I know that when they had taken on the welfare of the gold and it would take a toll on them, their family and friends. Did it cost them their child? You only mentioned Angelica in the update. Poor Jackson never seemed to recover. I know that our heroines understood the risk of being guardians but did they realize the heavy cost? Can’t wait for the next update. Thank for continuing to entertain us. We are very grateful that you share your talent with us .
