Great Unexpectations Chapter 37
"What’s his deal?", Alice asked Cora.
Cora shrugged. "Hard to say. I don’t know him that well, I guess he looks like he could be creepy but my mother really trusted him. And Bette and Tina seem to think he’s ok. He’s just looking out for me I guess. Doing what my mom asked. I hope he doesn’t plan on watching me for the rest of my life though. That could get old real quick."
Alice nodded, saying nothing. "I’m sorry about your mom", she finally said. "I mean…well…she really hurt my friends, but I’m still sorry. For you. And for her. I know she really changed. She was trying to make up for what she did to Bette and Tina." An ugly feeling in the pit of her stomach began to form. "I don’t know. Should I not have said anything? Did I make it worse? I’m bad in these situations."
Cora smiled. "No. You’re ok. Thank you."
"But you know", Alice offered. "Bette and Tina are great. I’m sure if you need anything they’ll be there for you. You could do worse."
Cora watched Bette and Tina playing with their daughter. She smiled broadly. "They look like good moms. Angelica is lucky."
Just then Angelica screamed with delight. She’d spotted a dog on the beach and was splashing with all her might in an effort to get her feet to the shore.
Alice giddily sprung to her feet to Angelica’s aid. "See!!", she said loudly as she neared Bette. "She loves dogs." Alice lifted Angie from the water. "Don’t you little A? Don’t you love puppies?" Angie nodded jubilantly.
The dog wandered down the beach with it’s tail wagging, it’s owner scrambling after it. Animal and child made acquaintance quickly. Alice tested the dog for friendliness first, extending her hand palm up. The dog sniffed and after ample olfactory inspection allowed a gentle scratch behind the ears. Angie, impatient for her turn at the dog, began to squirm in Alice’s embrace. The owners of the dog arrived on the scene, out of breath. "Sorry. He broke loose. He loves the water."
"Not a problem", Alice said. Tina made her way to Angie and the dog. "Is your dog friendly?", she asked.

Wow what a finale, glad to see another baby on the way. Thanks for a great ending and hope too see more.
Great ending….but it left me wanting more…how selfish!!!! lol
Loved it!!!! Really thorough ending especially Mr Buckley’s demise. Thx so much for a greatly intriguing story. And my soppy heart loves the ending. Maybe
maybe, one day u’ll let us in on how Cora progressed and do a little update on B, T, A, The poopy dog [u know they can be trained to do it in the one place], new baby and Alice. maybe…see my big pleading puppy dog eyes!!!!
Thanks for this great story. I’ve loved every minute of it.
well, well, well, look who finally posted her story! it was definitely worth the wait so i won’t bust your chops too much. can’t wait to read the new one. i was a bit surprised that mr. buckley’s demise. i kinda figured it would feature a shovel, a hammer, and a ticket to tahiti. anyway, thanks for giving us this story. i know the next one will be even better!!
I have missed you and this story. I loved the ending with Cora getting some of her childhood back and Richard doing whatever was needed to make sure she was safe from the “evil dad”. I loved the banter between Alice and the locals at the beach. Heck, in our area we still stop for funerals. I do hope that you will revisit this story at some time down the road. You left us hanging with a pregnant Tina and mommy Bette.
What a long awaited welcome surprise, hope you are back to writing a bit before dissappearing again.
Bittersweet. Yhat’s what it is. We are blessed with another post, but the post is the finale. Thanks for coming back to finish. Thank you for your story. I hope you will share another s with us.
