Great Unexpectations Chapter 34
"Let us make it up to you", Tina said. "Why don’t you join us for dinner tonight? We have a house just up the beach. About a half a mile."
"No, that’s ok. You don’t have to do that. It was nothing", Cora said. She’d been eating hotdogs and potato chips for two weeks and was actually craving a nice meal, but these two were a little too anxious to have her over. She knew from experience it was best to turn these offers down.
"Aw come on", Richard urged. "My Betsy here is a great cook." Tina listened as she was called by this new name. She tried not to laugh. Betsy was just one of those names you don’t hear much anymore. At least not on someone under sixty years of age.
With a smirk Tina said, "Oh, don’t listen to Albert. He’s always bragging about me. I’m a decent cook. Why don’t you come over tonight. Nothing fancy. Just some pasta and chicken." Richard smiled and nodded. Albert? Good one.
"You’d be doing me a favor", Tina said. "He’s always going out with his old college buddies and dragging me along. I could use a quiet night in with some female company." Tina smiled her smile and twinkled her eyes, and Cora found her defenses weakening. "I’ll think about it" she said.
Disappointed at the ambivalence but not wanting to scare her away, Tina searched her pockets for a slip of paper. "Here’s the address," she said, jotting it down with a pen she’d quickly borrowed from Richard. "Please. Think about it. We’d love to have you. Six o’clock."
Cora folded the note without looking at it and put it in her back pocket. "Thanks." She mounted her bike and prepared to leave when Tina called out expectantly. "Be careful!" Cora looked at the cozy couple. Albert and Betsy were not their real names. They were up to something, she could tell. Figuring it out might be fun. She continued to watch as Albert reclaimed Betsy’s waist. She watched as Albert kissed Betsy on the lips. Cora waved behind her as she rode off. She did not watch as Tina pushed Richard away and slapped his face. "What the hell are you doing?", she asked angrily.

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
