Summer Vacation. Chapter 14
She hadn’t really explained the family’s Trust thing all that well, or certainly not as well as she could have. She could have told Bette how much money she’d suddenly had at her disposal once she turned eighteen and how much of a shock that had been. She could have told Bette about the places she’d since visited in Paris and London and the incredible things she’d learnt, the great things they supported, the beautiful things they owned … but part of her wanted Bette to go to Virginia and discover it for herself, as she had done, as she had gone and been amazed.
Except Lottie knew that Bette’s discovery would be tinged with an overwhelming sadness. She cringed, remembering her own sadness at discovering Bette and a family she never knew existed. Her anger at her father for the secrets he kept, her misery at every lost year she’d never be able to reclaim, her grief to learn that other family members had been lost in the time frame, other people she’d never have the opportunity to meet.
“Hey …” said Tina, watching her as she stopped searching through the cabinet momentarily, “good morning”
“Hi …” said Lottie, her thoughts broken by the sound of Tina’s voice “I … um … just thought I’d get sorted,”
“I hope Ruby thanks you …” said Tina, noting what Lottie was doing,
Lottie blushed, she liked Ruby and truly wasn’t doing it to score points, or get anyone into trouble,
“Were things okay with Bette yesterday?” Tina enquired softly, checking in with her too … “it must have been difficult for you … to talk about some things”
Lottie nodded, “I’m okay … was Bette okay …?”
“I think so, but it’ll take some time to get used to …”
“Yeah …”
Tina paused briefly, “She told me about possibly going to Virginia”
Lottie nodded, not knowing where they were with that,
Tina moved across the room towards her, taking a seat at Ruby’s desk, “I’m going to try and clear my schedule for Monday,” she added, “then we might be able to fly out on Saturday …”
Tina watched as Lottie’s eyes widened, Saturday was soon, very soon,
“Would that be manageable for you?” Tina asked, “Bette was going to call you later and find out …” she added, eager to not appear as the go-between,

i love how supportive Tina have been with Bette, Virginia will be a hard time for Bette but i want to know what is waiting for her there. Great post
This is the way Way Bette Tina & Angelica should be like a family unit just amazing story Love It Hope Bette will be Ok. PPS
How crazy to not only find out you have another sibling, but also that there’s (most likely) indispensible wealth available too you…. Glad to see you back, hope to see more very soon. (And I have this feeling Tina can make Bette feel better about EVERYTHING ;) )

Great chapter – beautifully written! Intense stuff to find out about. Can’t wait to see what happens next. Love how carefree Angelica is about everything – just accepting it as it comes…what else can we do. Also love how you show them all caring and loving each other. Thank you!
god women! youre killing us for taking sooooo long.and tina is right everything will be fine baby.p.p.s.
Thanks so much for posrting It hard to believe that Bettes Mother didnt get in touch with Bette after Bette became an adult. That will hurt more than anything else. thanks
Another great chapter. Can’t wait for the next one. PPS :)
Did Maxine leave anything to Bette since she had followed Bette’s life? She knew about Bette in school and her young life right after school. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
Good chapter. Are Bette gonna be a Billianiar!
It hard to believe a mother could abandon her child and think that money will make it all better. Interesting to see what Bette reaction will be to her part of the inheritance. PPS
I wonder how much money there is… Peabody amounts of wealth? Ker-ching! I’m actually more interested in seeing how Lottie and Bette make up for the years of not knowing each other existed. Can’t wait for the next chapter, sofa, I was wondering where you’d got to. Cheers
I’m really enjoying this story.
sweet ending…keep writing this lovely loving story.
Great to see another post from you, I’ve missed this story, it’s so wonderful….and Tina is so great :o)) Post soon please, can’t wait for Virginia, but I’m sure Angle will sleep with Lottie and not her moms :o))
This story is great. Humour an intrigue. A great character in Angelica and you have to love Alice! Some nice Bette and Tina scenes too!!
Thanks looking forward to continuing the ride.
