”You can’t do that to actors. They are so spooky already.” I say as I see Tom and Jodie walking quickly down the hallway toward the mail room. Her face is not very clear in the black and white image but her stamping pace and arm gestures leave me no doubt to how she’s feeling. I point to the box of circuits and wires the men were engrossed in moments before I arrived.
”What piece of equipment were you geniuses working on when I interrupted you?” I ask to distract them from the scene I anticipate unfolding in moments. They take the bait and the tech guy hands the mystery box to the guard who begins to take it apart with a tiny green screwdriver.
I watch the monitor and see the mail room door fly open and Tom stand with his hands on his hips as Jodie peels the tape off her box. She quickly fishes out my note and after a very short read she turns the page over to see it’s blank.
She signs to Tom. ”I should never have trusted her.” She pitches the note back inside the box, puts her hands against her temples and rubs them furiously. Then she begins to sign some more.
”After all that monogamy crap she gave me about Amy and other women – she’s gone back to Tina. How long have they been seeing each other behind my back?” I watch Tom shrug and shake his head quickly.
Jodie points to the side of her head and wheels her fingers around by her ear. I feel twinges of lousiness, and the pain of a liar as she carries her box back toward the artist’s studios and away from the corridor that would lead to my office.
”Okay, guys. Call me when the theater cameras come in.”
As I walk down the hallway I text James.
Text from Bette to James:
”Anything?”
Text from James to Bette:
”There’s a Skype call that keeps trying to connect to your computer.”
Text from Bette to James:
”3 mins.”
I stop at the coffee stand between the buildings for a late afternoon latte as a group of students with brass instruments pour out of the Music Department. A riff of notes between the sax and the rippling clarinet drift by. My phone buzzes with a text. I juggle the coffee and read.

The story just before this one, _The Lucky Ones_, is a good lead in to _Coming Home_.
Thanks for reading!
Blackbird
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?!
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!
Loved it, thanks for posting. So glad Jodie is out and Tina is back
So glad to see hhow back. I am really enjoying your take on this relationship. Bye bye Jodi.
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!
Great update and a wonderful reunion for our favorite ladies! Unique twist with Maxine! Keep it coming – can’t wait til you give us more. Thank you!!
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.
Blackbird…my friend.. first… glad your back… secondly, your story is outstanding. love the phase from Alice about Shane’s “sex fast” lol… the wonderful amazing feel good together between Bette and Tina is great. i love the emotional details you described in that story between them. the big bomb was Bette’s mother was alive. i applauded you for this story .. bravo bravo bravo. You are a gifted writer.. keep up the great work!!! and welcome back ..can’t wait for the next one..
Glad you are back,amazing story.
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!!!
