    Held in Contempt Chapters 1-4

    ”Please tell me you didn’t sew the appliqué on your guest towels,” Bette said.

    ”That was my grandma – I have no such skills,” Tina replied. ”Glad to hear I’ve given the impression of having multiple talents though.”

    ”Oh I’m sure you have more talents waiting to be discovered,” Bette said.

    Tina remained silent.

    ”So…how come I didn’t know of your inclination to the fairer sex?” Bette asked. ”You obviously don’t date much.”

    ”My partner passed away about 18 months ago,” Tina replied. ”We’d been together for seven years.”

    ”Oh…I’m so sorry. That must have been horrible to go through.”

    ”It really was,” Tina said. ”I threw myself into work, and tried to manage my grief with therapy and staying busy. A year later, I was finally starting to feel human again.”

    ”What took her so young?”

    ”A car accident,” Tina replied. ”The daily commute you rarely think twice about. One day instead of her walking in the front door, a police officer knocked.”

    ”I can’t imagine…”

    ”Listen, I didn’t mean to put a damper on our evening,” Tina said. ”But it’s part of my history. And I wanted to be up front with you.”

    ”Of course,” Bette said. ”I don’t need an explanation.”

    ”But now you’re going to stop flirting with me – just when it was getting interesting.”

    ”All I want to do is hug you. It’s human nature to crave contact when you feel the need to comfort someone.”

    ”I could use a hug,” Tina replied, turning away from the counter to face Bette.

    Bette took the couple of steps required to embrace Tina.

    ”I’m so sorry,” Bette whispered.

    ”Thanks,” Tina replied. ”It’s finally getting better.”

    Tina cleared her throat as they separated. She filled a couple of mugs and they each took a seat at the kitchen table.

    Bette reached and placed her hand over Tina’s, stroking it lightly with the movement of her thumb. The gentle nature of the gesture was not lost on Tina. It was more than she could have expected given the rumours she’d heard about Bette in the past.

    ”You’re nothing like your courtroom persona,” Tina said.

    ”The lawyer is different from the person,” Bette replied.

    ”I’m happy to have discovered that.”

    ”I enjoyed debating with you over dinner,” Bette said.

    1. Hi jks:
      This is an excellent story, it is amazing, very well written, the plot is quite attractive and it hooks me up very easily, I haven’t read that story before, and even though you may post it with a different name, thank you so much for this gift.

      • The first chapter is close to the same as the first chapter of Amicus Curiae, but it diverges quite wildly from there. Completely different story, though the setting is the same. Thanks for reading!

    2. Well, as I’ve said before, I love reading your stories and this is one is no exception.

      As a retired lawyer (UK) I love the setting and the dialogue.

      Thanks for posting. Keep those chapters coming and I’ll keep reading!

      • Hopefully I don’t make it too unbelievable for someone who actually has training as a lawyer! I do not, I only have my imagination, and sometimes it takes me to places for plot purposes that stretch what could possibly happen in the real world. Thanks for letting me know you’re out there reading.

    3. A story that i defiantly recognize, but i still don’t know what your aliases are. But i think the site has just give me a clue, but to be sure i am gonna check it first.

      I am happy that you have decided to post this story. Thank you for it.

    4. Great as usual. It does start off similarly to “Amicus Curiae” but then becomes quite unique. You still have that stellar gift of dialogue, snakiness and humor. Am anxious/excited for more.
