“I did throw up earlier today, baby, I won’t hide that from you. But I think I can handle being on my feet even in this condition, honey, don’t worry,” Tina answered calmly. “Kit and Shane are still visiting with us, remember? They’ve been asking to spend time with Angie, so tonight seems like a good opportunity for that, don’t you think so?”
Bette smiled into the phone. “Yes, it is. You’re right, baby. I’d love it if you were with me tonight. So I think I’ll see you shortly?”
“Shortly? Are you swinging by to get me in the office? Is this closer to where you are, honey?” Tina asked.
“Yes, it is. I just got something in Henri Bendel’s, which is a few blocks from your office,” Bette answered. “So I should be there in just a few minutes.”
“I’ll see you in the lobby, then,” Tina said.

An hour later, Bette spotted a young man sitting by himself on a bench by the eating tables set up in the middle space of the restaurant booths in Grand Central Station.
She sat on the opposite end of the bench and flashed him a quick smile when he slipped a glance towards her. He gave her a friendly grin in response, and then went back to thumbing through the screen of his cell.
Bette continued to look his way, though. After a few minutes, he finally turned to look at her also as he slipped his earbuds out of his ears. He gave her a puzzled smile, “Is there something I can help you with?” Who is this lady? She doesn’t look like a crazy person, but she’s been looking at me ever since she sat down. I know I’m not much to look at, but she on the other hand … wow!
“You’re Christopher, right? Georgina’s and Callie’s son?”
His jaw dropped and looked at her in stunned surprise.
Just as she was removing her horn-rimmed glasses, a blonde woman walked up to them, holding a cup of tea. The beautiful brunette scooted closer to him to make space for her and lifted the croc-skin messenger bag that she’d laid on the bench. She gave the blonde a quick, intimate smile, who returned it as she gingerly sat down. Christopher could see the blonde was pregnant, and the brunette had lifted the blonde’s fashionable leather “sac” style handbag to deposit both bags onto the brunette’s lap to allow the blonde to settle into her seat comfortably.

ALL STARS.
Thank you so much for this wonderful story, I cant wait for more from you.
Have really enjoyed writing this story and have truly appreciated your thoughts, comments, PMs, ever since “Let It Happen” in the other site, through “Love Soul Heaven Hell,” and “Empire State of Mind.” You’ve played a bigger role in shaping the whole story than you may have realized and have been patient through all the ups and downs and twists and turns. (does anyone remember the near universal consternation concerning Tina cheating in the first book? And the anxiety about having them exposed to mortal danger in a war-zone in the second book? But then I think you all loved the resolution to the problems they had in the first book via Aristophanes. And enjoyed the party scenes in the second and third books.) I know it was a gamble to take the story in the unexpected direction it took in the third book — but I sensed that, as readers, you were looking for more. Any readership that thought I used Plato at just the right moment of a story like this would appreciate a bold story about the last thing one would expect to find here, right? Gold, of all things. So thanks, again, for the challenge, patience, and appreciation.
All props to Jacky and everyone behind the scenes. You ladies, without a doubt, are gold.
Thanks for the journey. Absolutely loved it. I hope there’s more to come, like maybe “Empire of Gold.” I can see infinite possibilities. Please continue to share your talent–it’s off the charts.
