After almost two hours, she paused to stretch, satisfied with her work and Officer Wallace entered with a cup of hot coffee. Placing it on the desk next to her, he leaned on the door frame and grinned.
“Your… ummm… mother-in-law… put on quite the show the other day, eh?” he spoke quietly, clearly trying not to laugh.
Bette looked at him and for a few seconds neither spoke, then both burst into laughter. Bette covered her face, leaning on the desk as she tried to contain her burst of hilarity.
It felt really good to laugh, she had been holding her emotions in check all morning, trying to be strong for Tina. She had been so worried, so concerned. She needed this laugh and it struck her as very funny that Wallace was the one to deliver such a moment.
After laughing for a few long minutes, Bette sighed as she wiped tears from her eyes. She took a long sip of her coffee, only to grimace painfully at the taste, spitting some out into her hand.
“Pretty awful, ain’t it?” Wallace drawled, sipping his own. “It’ll put hair on your chest, that’s for damn sure…”
“Ummm… thanks, not a fan of a hairy chest… clearly…” Bette replied, making a face of utter distaste, and soon they were both laughing again at the absurdity of the situation.
“I followed her ya know… to the hotel” he said casually, like he was discussing the weather.
Bette raised her eyebrow, questioning.
“I checked her reservation. She has her check out date for a month from now. Also, she has someone with her. You might want to come up with a plan B, Ms. Porter. I don’t want another scene in your front yard again. Not sure the angels and spirits can handle another summons. She’ll be waiting for you to return and then she will reappear.”
Bette was about to respond when the door behind him opened and Joyce and Tina emerged, Duffy behind them. Bette took one look at Tina and knew it had been a difficult interview.
Her face was blotchy, and tear stained, and she was chewing on her lower lip. But she visibly relaxed when she saw Bette and offered her a grateful smile. Seeing Bette was like the sun peeking from behind the clouds and she felt immediately calmed, the tension leaving her shoulders.

A magnificent job of continuing the masterpiece connection between these two. Yet, having them deal with all the contradictions and brain fog in Tina’s brain. The spirit in your writing has so much peacefulness ????????
I’m really great full for Joyce’s expertise and frankness in explaining the unfair onslaught that Tina & Bette are going to endure because of the insatiable desire of the popparatsee to sensationalize and distort any story. Uuugh! It’s gonna be putrified nasty when Donna is brought to the stand in Eric’s defense. ????????????????????????. I’m hoping that Tina as some indisputable video & audio of the wretchedness of working at Shoelin once Eric was hired. Surely the also have emails & texts that he sent to Tina showing the overt preditory behavior.
Maybe this is where Lucy’s testimony will raise my eyebrow to give her a Brava!!!
Thank you Dumplin. I was trying to show the contradiction of trying to unravel a confusing event in Tina’s mind with the undeniable connection they are both feeling. Joyce has a lot more to say about the upcoming trial, and Donna has some plan of her own. Meanwhile, our two will hopefully keep on keeping on… appreciate your comment, so much.
This story gets better every chapter!
It will be a nasty and hard case and i am glad Joyce is Tina’s laywer. I have no doubt that she will nail that bastard in court.
So Donna is planning to stay a month? Hmm, wonder what she will do the next time she approche Tina and Bette.
Great chapter!
Stay save and healthy ????
Thank you BiBi, I am struggling a little bit about writing the whole court case thing – so out of my realm of expertise, I know virtually nothing about lawyering and evidence and all that stuff. Hope it continues to flow…. peace
Wonder who Donna has with her in the hotel? Great story with lots of twists in the life of Tibette. I would not be looking forward to court with the news media hanging around. Look forward to the next post. Stay safe
Thank you for commenting Finn! The news media does add an element of crazy to the whole thing, can you imagine? Hope things are going ok in your neck of the woods, laying low here….. peace
I look so forward for these posts. You outdo yourself and the story with every post. Keep up to phenomenal work.
Deanna, thank you. Hope you are doing well.
I love the way Tina and Bette continue to grow closer and more intimate. This is very important for the healing of both of them from this trauma. Even though Tina lived through it, Bette experiences have been just as traumatizing. And to add Donna Kennard on top, how much more can they take.
Caution – with Eric’s money, could he influence the results of the blood test of both Tina and of himself? Is it possible he could pay someone to substitute another’s blood or just make sure the test get lost? That would throw Tina’s evidence into doubt and allow Eric to skate free.
Now who is with Donna Kennard? I’m going to take a guess. Faye Buckley? I hope not. But Donna’s behavior was an exaggeration of Faye Buckley…
Wonderful chapter. Love the relationship between Bette and Tina in this story. Their connection is so evident, Its visceral to all who see them. And I love your writing style. Being able to see what is going on in the minds of characters adds depth and understanding which dialogue simply cannot do. Dialogue is limiting and can even be misleading when the characters hold back information or are purposely deceiving someone. But the thought process is the window to the soul and personality of a character. This author’s use of memory and imagery is simply masterful. This chapter is a wonder example of that technique. Thank you…. Cannot wait for more….
Martha, I so enjoy your thought analysis of each chapter. Really, it is such a wonderful thing to read how people are experiencing the story. I also really appreciate that you like reading about the though process – sometimes I delete some of that because I worry it takes away from the flow of the conversation. But with someone like Bette, who is so layered and has trouble expressing how she feels, I think it is that much more important to know what she is thinking.
Great point about Eric’s money, how many times do we read in the news about some rich asshole who gets away with horrible things because they can afford a team of lawyers or such. And he is certainly ruthless enough.
Thank you for your kind words, gives me motivation to keep writing and taking the time to get the story the way I want it. Hope you are doing ok in this craziness. Peace
Thanks for the update. So many sweet moments between Tina and Bette. Wonderful how their deep connection is showing in so many little moments and details. Well, their physical connection is amazing as well. Constantly horny for each other I’d say ;-) It does wonders to strengthen their emotional bond.
It’s going to be a difficult case at court. Joyce is right to mention the worst outcome.
Looking forward to the next chapter, BK.
Kiwipit –
Definitely horny for each other, almost like two teenagers I’d say. That is likely to continue as well, given they are basically on a mini vacation like at the beach together. Court will be difficult, and not my area so hopefully I can figure out how to navigate that in a way that makes sense. Hope all is well, stay safe….
Thanks for posting more on this great story which I am getting more and more enthral led by.
My life experience is in non-criminal Law here in the UK so I wait to see where you are going to take me.
Please post soon we need somewhere to escape to in these difficult times.
Stay safe,
