"Thank you. It’s about ready. Would you like something to drink?", Tina asked.
"I’ll have what he’s having", Cora said indicating Richard and his glass of something on the rocks.
"Oh", Tina said looking at her underage guest. "Um…I guess."
"Look. Don’t sweat it. Here", Cora said, reaching into her back pocket. She pulled out her drivers license. "I’m legal." Richard looked at the license. It was a fake. A good one. But a fake nonetheless. It confirmed that Laura Fisk was twenty-three years old.
"Laura. We never did get your name."
"And you’re Albert. And she’s Betsy", Cora said suspiciously. "Did you parents lose a bet or something?" Bette chuckled quietly in front of the monitor, listening to this exchange.
"You can call me Al", Richard said.
"And you", Cora said to Tina. "Do I call you Bet?" Tina flushed at the irony in Cora’s statement. "That’d be fine", Tina said proudly as she brought the food to the table.
Cora settled for wine. Primarily because that’s all Tina was offering her. They seated themselves at the table amid light conversation. Tina began to ask questions about where ‘Laura’ was from. If she was going to school. Questions she knew the answers to, but had to ask to keep up the charade. Cora for her part, gave generic answers about parents from the Midwest. Two brothers. That she had attended college here and never left.
"So what’s with you two? You’re here on vacation. Where’s home for you?" Richard put his arm around Tina and squeezed her casually. He kissed her cheek while Tina did her best not to appear uncomfortable or, more importantly, angry. God, he’s too drunk to keep this up much longer. He’s gonna blow it.
Bette’s teeth clenched as she watched Richard accost Tina. Her eyes seethed with contempt. Standing, she went for the door. She put her hand on the knob and considered announcing her presence immediately when she heard a metallic ting sound. She glanced at the monitor to see Tina stooping to retrieve a fallen dinner fork. While under the table Tina sized up Richard’s leg and jabbed the fork into his calf. His trousers being too thick, and the tines of the fork being too blunt, the skin was not broken. But he would surely be left with one hell of a bruise. Richard jerked and grimaced and couldn’t help but let out a quiet groan. "What’s wrong honey?", Tina said sympathetically, returning to the topside of the table. "Did you get a leg cramp again?"

Damn Red, you always so that!!!! Stop when it gets to the good parts. I am so loving this. Thanks PPS
Ok Red, this is what we’ve been waiting for, please do not make us wait to long. Md
I’m sorry you’re bringing “Great Unexpectations” to a close, but I love how you’re going about it. The Betsy/Albert ruse was a hoot. It figures Richard would try to take advantage. Good thing Tina’s so handy with a fork.
Sorry to see this story come to an end but so happy they found her. Hopefully when she wakes, she will listen to them and take their advice, comfort and the protection they offer. This has been a very interesting story from the start, and believe me I had my doubts, as you well remember from my comments early on, that Faye was being honest and genuine. I believe I offered an apology somewhere in there for my comments but, if I did not, please accept my apologies now, I was wrong. You’ve done a wonderful job with this story. Please post soon.
I dunno what upsets me more, that this story is coming to an end or that Cora missed her mom by a few days. *sigh* I hope Cora stays, and lets them all help her. “Bet” let “Albert” off too lightly, with only a fork jab. That doesn’t matter though, once she sees to Cora, I think Bette is going to give Richard a thorough pummeling. Or at least I hope so. I take it Kit and T have something really good worked out (I have an idea what it is), I’ll be waiting to see. Great chapter, red, post when you can. Thanks!
u really had me going there. more when u can. Thx.
Hopefully Cora will forgive her Mother,and can peacefully morn her passing. Now it up to Bette and Tina to protct her from other evil thing that is lurking in the background. thanks so much for posting
shit, i’m kinda afraid to have dinner with you. stabbed in the leg? if i pass the salt instead of the peeper do i get a bread knife in the eye? another great update red but you and your damn cliffhangers. i’m curious where you’re going with this and don’t worry ladies, red is such a stickler for details that she’s got a long way to go before she can wrap all of this up. oh, she’ll threaten us and swear it’s almost the last one but it will drive her nuts to finish hap hazardly so don’t worry there is plenty of story left! lol. ok, red post when you can and you better have an even better story to tell after tonight…
Excellent update. Eagerly awaiting the next :)
They finally find her and now they have to tell her that her mother is gone. It sounds like Cora really did love her mother but was unable to live with all that had happened to her in her life. I hope that she allows Bette and Tina into her life. It would be nice to see her around the gang. I hate to see this end and I hope that you will continue to write after you have finished this story.
Brilliant, as always, red. This continues to be one of my favorite stories. Emotional as it was, this chapter also had me cracking up… Betsy and Albert, lovely couple! I wouldn’t have guessed at the onset that I would have felt sad that Faye didn’t have the opportunity to right things with her daughter. Look foward to reading Cora reaction to their story. Thanks for such a wonderful read!
This is so freaking good and we all waiting for this moment, so emotional and hope Caro will let B&T and R to help her and get her life safe. Please post more, thanks!
Great story …..still. Nice to see that there can be drama without it being between B&T.
As usual you’ve outdone yourself. However, the cliffhangers are killers. :) I am glad Cora didn’t take off before they could start to talk to her. I feel so bad for her and hope she will let them help her.
Great chapter! Tina stabbing Richard with a fork & him limping off was soooo funny. Hope B&T&R can help Cora now that they’ve found her. Thanks!
oOoO c’mon you gotta post soon, i read the whole thing in one night n now i want to know how it ends, its been awesome xx
