Coming Home
”Please tell me you have a pretty beach house for this weekend? I’d love to come out there tonight, listen to the ocean and leave late Sunday.”
Bette’s office – 3 pm
I take out a sheet of my personal blue linen stationary, uncap my fountain pen and with the unbroken concentration of a calligrapher I exhale slowly and write:
Dear Jodie,
I know I promised you I would not do this but by breaking that promise to you I’m able to keep so many more. It’s complicated and it’s not. I’ve always loved Tina and she’s come home to me.
Bette
I soften the focus of my single-pointedness as I lift up my pen. I read the three sentences over, fold the paper twice and drop it into the cardboard box.
”James, I’m going to the security office to go over the details for the media center. I’ve got my phone.” I close my office door and walk down the hallway with the box for Jodie.
I unlock the door to the faculty mailboxes and leave Jodie’s box on the mail room table. I lock the door behind me.
Text to Tom from Bette,
”Tom, Please tell Jodie I’ve put a box with all her things from my house in the faculty mail room and a note inside that explains why. Bette”
Without hesitation I hit send and let out a tremendous sigh as I open the door to the security office and walk into the room filled with the campus’ video camera displays. I note above me and slightly to my left are the two I’m interested in watching. The guard and the tech guy I’m there to meet tear their eyes away from a shiny metal box with lots of colored wires curling out of it.
”Hi, guys this won’t take long.” I say as I watch the hallway camera feed outside the door to the faculty mail room.
”Those three dark screens at the end of the video array are for the new cameras for the media center and theater?” I ask reminding them of the purpose of my three o’clock visit.
”Yes,” says the tech guy, ”they’ll come online when we’re finished wiring the place for AV.”
”My two cents, you guys made a mistake not putting a camera backstage.” The guard offers as he looks up at me.

The story just before this one, _The Lucky Ones_, is a good lead in to _Coming Home_.
Thanks for reading!

Thank goodness that you’ve returned!!! I thought you were in the Witness Protection Program yourself.Hope all is well w/you. Glad that you made Bette and Jodie’s denouement rapid. On the show it was so ridiculously long that it made no sense. It has taken a odd turn. I am curious to read what you do with the upcoming chapters. So happy that you’ve returned. :-)

Thanks so much, a great story, just what I needed on a Sunday morning – UK 7am – and containing tantalising stuff for future episodes – can’t wait! Lovely pictures too, including the lovely one of T which Jodie better not break! Really, really wish I was on that beach right now. So glad you’re back and look forward to this story continuing.

What a way to break up with Jodie?!…. …a yellow tape around the box? :P…And Bette’s mom is alive?!
brinny says
What a relief! No more Jodie. Bette and Tina together again! Maxine alive!
Every time I think some thing is going to happen, it’ll shift and once I think I’ve figured out the plot, it’s going to shift again. Nobody writes like you.
Blackbird, my friend, I am so glad you are back!

Glad to see you back and I agree with the comments given. You should have been a writer for the show!!! I loved the ending with Jodi, so funny. Also was so unique the way you introduced her mom with a Native woman. So appropriate! You’ve done another incredible story for the women and I’m sure they love you for it! Can’t wait to see what comes next!

I’m really glad you’re back.
I really enjoyed this chapter, I really liked it.
as Bette broke up with Jodie was really amazing, the highlight of the whole thing (as if you wrote it just for me) – good, I know not :P
Jodie at least hadn’t a chance to humiliate to Bette. Bette endured much at the beginning of their relationship.
Wow. What turns: Bette’s mother is alive. very interesting.
I’m looking forward to the next chapter.

Wonderful to see your writing! I had been checking every few days, hoping that we would see your talent again soon. Great story line and the scene descriptions makes the reader feel like part of the story. I can see it all in my “mind.” Thank you.

Welcome back amiga!!! You had me nervous for a while, so extremely happy to see you back on. Excellent story. Loved the “hit the road” approach with Jodie and definitely loving the “Maxine-factor.” Can’t wait for what’s ahead!! As always…AWESOME!!!
