    “Hey thanks for stepping in and meeting with Chef Lara on the menu. She told me you’ve pretty much selected everything and just wanted my opinion on the accompanying wines and dessert.”

    “Yeah no problem. I was happy to do it. Lara was great. She already had a good idea of what you liked. She offered some really good selections for the three entrées. We also did a variety of hors d’oeuvres and appetizers but we still need dessert. We left that for you to choose but I’m thinking something chocolate.

    “Valerie already warned me that you were a chocoholic.”

    “Did she now? Don’t tell me you don’t like chocolate?”

    “I’m more the plain vanilla type but I can acquire a taste for chocolate if you make it tempting enough.”

    “What would make it tempting?”

    “It all depends on how it’s served and what you put it on.”

    “I’ll have to keep that in mind.”

    Lara came out to greet them and caught the tail end of the conversation. She smiled at the two women’s subtle flirting.

    “Good afternoon ladies. Are you ready for some wine and dessert tasting?”

    “Let’s do it.”

    The next day Valerie was in her bathroom putting the final touches on her makeup and getting dressed for her special evening when Tina wandered in. “Hey Val. You look amazing.”

    “Hey Tina. Why aren’t you dressed?”

    “That’s what I came in to tell you. Eric called. He can’t make it to the gallery any earlier than 6:00 so we’ll just get there in time for the cocktail reception.”

    “Tina you know Bette wanted us there an hour earlier?”

    “I know Val but I’d already made plans to arrive with Eric. I can’t cancel now.”

    “Tina this is important to me. You’re my best friend. I need you there tonight. I wanted to share this special time with you to say nothing of how disappointed Bette is going to be.”

    “I’ll be there Val. I’ll just get there a little late. I’m really sorry but I can’t reach him now. He’s tied up in court and won’t get any messages. Anyway you better get going or you will be late. I’ll see you at the gallery at 6:00.”

    “OK fine but we’ve hardly spent any time together since you got back from New York. I’m starting to really feel neglected here.”

    1. I am sure you left out a couple of pages. ;-) Excellent chapter. I wonder if Tina will be upset that Bette didn’t tell her about her adoption plans? Eric seems awfully bossy especially if Tina and he have an “open” relationship. Tina seems kind of mousy/timid when it comes to Eric. Just my observation. Looking forward to more. Thanks for writing frequently and longer chapters as well.

      • azmama thank you for continuing to read and commenting on this story. Your observation about Tina and Eric’s “open” relationship is very astute. More will be revealed about Eric’s behavior in a future chapter.

    2. Good chapter I’m glad everyone but Tina heard the happy news. I on the other hand think Tina shouldn’t be upset as she chose to wait for Eric and one thing led to another on that issue. If Bette does tell Tina than she has to be supportive as the next 3 months bette’s mind will be on this baby. The feeling I’m getting this baby is coming early am I wrong? Francesca wasn’t feeling too great after the show? so am I reading into it too much?

      • Dee22 we’ll soon see Tina’s reaction when she finally hears the news. No worries about Francesca. She will take the baby to full term. Thanks for reading and commenting.

    3. Tina doesn’t seem too interested in Eric from a relationship standpoint as it looks more like an arrangement than anything else but she lets him kind of dictate things to much for them not being serious..And since she missed Bette’s announcement about the baby I hope she is supportive in Bettes decision when she does find out

      • Pie_Fair like azmama you too have hit the nail on the head regarding Tina and Eric’s relationship. More will be revealed about their intimacy. Stay tuned for Tina’s reaction to the news when she finally hears it. Thanks for reading and commenting.

    4. Bette pity not to have the opportunity to talk about Tina
      adoption, however, I know she will give support to Bette.
      This story is excellent.
      Great chapter.
