    Author Notes:

    “I’ll take ‘Potpourri’ for 600, Alex.”

    "No Bette. We are in this together. And I really think it’s the right thing to do. What if it was us? What if something happened to Angie and Faye was the only person who could help? Wouldn’t we go to her?"

    Bette looked at Angie, put her hand to her back and rubbed it gently. "Of course we would."

    "We would", Tina repeated. "And we would be absolutely devastated if she said ‘no’. So, we should. And we should tell her today. After work?"

    Bette nodded and reached for Tina’s hand, squeezing it with love and admiration. "Alright", Tina grinned. "Stop making those eyes at me and eat your breakfast."

    Bette did eat her breakfast, but could not bring herself to stop making those eyes. Eyes of devotion, awe and pride. So many emotions need time to be expressed.

    —

    The work day went by as they always do. Too much to do. Not enough time to do them in. A condition exacerbated by the impromptu departure from their duties the day earlier. Bette and Tina had agreed that most of the flowers should be re-directed to the long-term-care unit of the nearest hospital with Tina keeping a few special arrangements for herself.

    For the third day in a row, Bette and Tina drove to Faye’s house.

    The now familiar streets and scenery whisked by unflinchingly. They pulled into the driveway and were immediately met by Richard at the front door. He’d not even given them time to ring the doorbell. Time was of the essence.

    "Thanks so much for coming", he said while showing them in. "When you called I was a little surprised. Does this mean you’ve made your decision?"

    "We’d prefer to talk to Faye, if that’s ok", Bette said with a forced smile. She tried with all of her might to keep that from sounding too brusk. She still didn’t like him, but understood that they would be working on this thing together and did not want to start things off on a bad note.

    "Sure. Come in. She’s waiting for you."

    When they walked in they found Faye sitting anxiously in a soft chair, holding a glass of water. Still pale and looking frailer than ever.

    2. Red, honey, you are doing a fabulous job with this story. With the last bit of info from Faye it makes me a bit leary for the girls and Angie. That bastard would stop at nothing to stop anyone from doing anything to help Faye and Cora. However, he does need to be exposed and arrested. This is a mighty subject now with the possibility that the girls could be hurt. We don’t want that, now do we. Politics makes strange bedfellows has never been more true. PPS

    4. I’m glad they’re helping Faye and all, but still, I worry. B&T are ace, and so is this story. And lol @ the potpourri! I got that for Christmas once. It’s amazing how well I was able to fake that grateful smile. (Though I’m sure the 2 or so glasses of wine I had with Christmas lunch helped immensely.) I still have that potpourri, it sits, unused, on a closet shelf. One day, I’m sure I’ll have a potpourri-based emergency, and then…! That grateful smile will be real! Ah well, I’ll keep reaching for that particular star. I will say though that I am honestly grateful for your post, red, cos I love this story. Post soon, and thanks!

    5. Mostly loved the morning scene. The Bette and Tina goodness..and playing with their little girl. Hope this Faye recon mission won’t be too taxing on their relationship and family life.. PPS.

    6. I loved the morning scene too. As you (so beautifully) write them, Tina is truly the yin to Bette’s yang. Like others, I’m worried that the morally bankrupt would-be senator will screw things up for them.

    10. Well this has the possibilities of a great big mess. Lot’s of drama ahead. Love how the story is moving along. Hope Richard has his own “cleaners” available. Thanks for the post.

    12. Your writing is so descriptive that it captures me and helps me to visualize the scene. Brilliant. B & T are going to love their enemy, huh? That is such a strong verse from the bible and one that is difficult to abide by. I hope that they will be successful in their attempt to help Cora. In doing so, they need to keep their family safe and Mr. Buckley sounds like a sleaze. Any father that would put their own best interest before their own child is **and I quote*** “An obstacle that needs to be removed.” Make sure he is dealt with, will ya Red? PS.
