Something so right – chapter 111 + chapter 112
“Elizabeth did say to me that I should be careful who I told about this because we don’t want it getting out . She said you find out who your friends are when you are very rich or very poor “
“That was roughly what Helena was alluding to “ Tina said “I know at college – even though it was a very good one Helena stood out because of her wealth. Apart from being called Vandervelt or Aster her surname was pretty much a give away. Plus she looked and acted like a spoilt little rich girl “
“The two of us were sitting talking one night – I think it was some pot party of Shane’s. We were both drunk and stoned – anyway – she really started to open up about what it was like to always be on your guard with people because you don’t know if they are only interested in you for your money. I got the impression that she was actually rather lonely “
“She is “ Tina said “I read Helena better than anyone else – she is lonely – she does lack direction and ambition. She needs to find out what the hell she is going to do with the rest of her life other than shop, go to the gym and file her nails. She knows it and I do think see her getting involved with the Peabody Foundation more than she did in the past. I think the first year that Peggy gave her the authority to make all the grants under $10,000 she gave them to charities and groups where she fancied one woman or other. What she meant today was that maybe people will see us differently. She was looking out for us and she asked if we wanted to go to dinner with her so we could discuss things more freely “
“My mother said that we need to not take huge steps straight away”
Tina smiled
“What ?”
“It sounds like you are just getting used to using that phrase – my mother “
“I am – I have been trying it for a while for size and I like it. I think I really startled her today by giving her a hug – I know from seeing her with Hannah that she is touchy feely and she does want that sort of relationship with me “

Thanks for the update. I’m glad Tina got a chance to talk to Helena. It’s not healthy for her to be hiding away like she is. Hopefully they will get some bridges mended on their next trip back to NC.
Double chapters–double thank you!
WOW!!! I am glad Tina had a talk with Helena. I do hope Tina can make peace with her dad. How much money did Bette get? Thank you Ally PPS
Thanks so much for posting. I really enjoy this story.
Sweet double update! Helena had some great advice forf Tina now that Bette is mega rich. I agree with Bette that a big ceremony probably won’t work as long as Tina has a family divided…what to do? They could always jump the broom in Hawaii! (hint, hint)
Wonderful chapters AllyE. Thanks so much for the double post, that was great. Are we to know the amount of Bettes’ trust fund. Maybe you can tell us if it was high 7 figures or mid 8 figures, maybe we don’t need to know the dollar amount. For both of them to be stunned and Elizabeth to be surprised as well, then it must be in the 8 figure range. Whatever it is will be so good for them both. Helena’s advice was also very good for them as well. Rather than discuss high finance in a public restaurant, they should just cook for her at home and they will be free to speak without being overheard. Bette is right about the wedding, they will have difficulties with Tinas’ dad wanting his girlfriend there as well as the wee one. It’s just amazing to me that he still wants profits from the farm and he is not there trying to make any of it. The man has all the all in the world. Thanks again for giving us two chapters.
Excellent. Thank you. Love this story.
