It fell to Dana to keep some casual conversation going, with Bette and Lara occasionally pitching in, as Alice, suitably chagrined fell quiet. When they pulled up in front of Aerin’s building, Bette held Lara back as they all got out of the car. “Lara, thanks for holding your tongue back there. Can you cut her a break for the rest of the night, too? She and Dana are trying to get back together, and seeing you tonight is just throwing her off her game. You understand, right?”
Lara blew a long breath out, and shrugged. She hooked her arm through Bette’s as they strode past the glass doors that the bell man held open.
“Bette you remember that time when I chanced upon you and that odious woman from …”
“Oh, that heritage foundation? During the gala last week that you helped to cater?”
“Yeah. You were saying something about how unfortunate it was that women were turning on the other women who were trying to give voice to people who were being severely impacted by everything going on?”
Bette made a face, and she snorted her disapproval again. She signaled to Dana and Alice that they needed a moment, when she noticed the two were keeping the elevator doors open. She motioned that they would call for the elevator when they were ready. “I was just shocked that she wasn’t doing more to challenge the positions the foundation she’s a board member of was taking on a number of important issues. I believed in her once, but now her attitude, and that of others like her, and the cynical way they’re turning the goals of the old feminist movement to their own ends made me see her in a different light. I’m just sickened to the core. Aren’t you sickened by it?”
“Of course I am, but that wasn’t the reason why I brought it up now.”
Puzzled, the brunette cocked her head to one side, raising an eyebrow.
Lara pushed the call button for the elevator. “You said that you and Tina often wished that our loose group would be the exception to the pitfalls that other groups fell prey to. You know, the power plays between erstwhile friends, or the majority ganging up on others in a harmful way, or even throwing people under the bus or pointing fingers at others in order to get off the hook – all non-supportive behavior that you said you’d seen in other large, loose groups of women?

Dear Lord, woman. You just get better and better. That was the definition of sexy.
Yes, i agree , sexy, very sexy!
Alice, one loud and weird girl. She never was my favourite character. Kick her out of the car and let her get lost.
Thanks for the update!
The book is ending soon, and that was the lead-in or appetizer for the next chapter, which will s-s-s-sizzle! Am debating whether I wrap the book up then or break the ending into two chapters. What say you? If I end it in one, the last chapter will make for a longer read.
Btw: I was advised recently that maybe I should consider writing in other places. I tend to write what I would read, and I look for rhythm, style, flow, voice, nuance, etc. in what I read so aspire to that when I write. These may not be the same things others here look for when they read, hence the advice. Since it takes some work and time to write, in the first place, (time I don’t have much of), maybe the advice-giver is right: it may we’ll be true that my idiosyncratic approach is not a good fit for readers here. Which is fine, btw.
Meanwhile, thanks for the comments @ssgogo93 and @Bibi28 ! I hope you’ll like how the book ends.
Long reads never bother me, it just means more wine.
This site has a rich history of writers of all styles and skill levels. Your particular style is unique, polished, creative, and very entertaining. I’m assuming this is the first and only site you post your stories. The FanFiction lane is an excellent entree into the world of writing, as it has a built-in audience eager for more creative stories that revolve around their favorite characters. You’ve evolved well beyond that. You’ve created your own world of interesting characters, each very colorful, distinctive, and lovable. You’re very talented and you obviously have many stories to tell. While I’d hate to see you go, you should definitely continue writing and perhaps explore different forums to share your work. Whatever you decide, please don’t forget your peeps here and let us know where we can find more @Skydancer musings.
Sky dancer!
Please continue with Bette and Tina’s storey and a little insight as to what happened to the gold and their lives together. Arron and Harley need to become the love of each other again!
I’m a. Believer!
I see you Tibetter001! Thanks for believing :-)
The gold story; Aerin and Harley — they’re coming back soon.
Will give you a head’s up when,
Keep warm til then,

Hi S.
Completely ecstatic that you replied, in fact I was so thrilled with the love and affection these two women have for each other I have continued with poems as well as lyrics to songs once again. I’ve always had an amorous nature and I have been blessed with a wonderful women who appreciates the romantic side of me.
B & T need more children to love on. I am depending on your good sense and writing talent to make their futures long and productive!
In Florida now but will get back to the snow and cold of Toronto soon.
Stay well my friend,
You may end this story in short form or long. Up, down, or sideways. Just as long as it makes you comfortable. If you are comfortable, we get more creative imagination. More imagination the better the read, and with your talent you would entertain the idea of moving on. We will certainly miss you here. Your material is so very appropriate here, This site was always good for bigger discussions and better arguments about all things L word. And when no one could decide what the production staff writers were thinking some one else would write a better edition and appease the masses. If you leave here please remember you will always have a fan club!
Hello,
Thanks for your comment! I’m thinking of writing differently, after this one concludes. Not so public; more intimate; and delivered specifically for a reader or small group of readers. Like a handcrafted cocktail, done omikase-style, by a bartender whose style you like. The drink takes some time to craft, has many layers of taste and flavor, but you wait patiently for your bartender to fix your drink because you know that she has time to do only a few such cocktails in the bar you’re in, then she’s off to do other bars. You’ll have to tell her if you like the drink, of course.
Let me know if you want to be one of them (one of the readers, I mean. Although I fully support drinking a cocktail, a handcrafted, well-prepared one, while you read. And only if you don’t drive after, of course!)
‘Til then, take care!
S
Intriguing, carry on
