Previously:
Alice finished with the drink she was making and slid it across the bar towards it’s owner who gave her a steely glare, unsure about it’s contents, “On the house …” muttered Alice, feeling guilty as she waved Bette in towards Kit’s office,
“Where’s Kit …?” asked Bette again, as she followed Alice down the hall,
“She went to look for you”
“She’s gone to the house?”
“Yes …”
“Why … what’s wrong … Alice … tell me … what the fuck’s going on?”
Alice pushed her inside the room, shutting the door on the din of the bar, “Bette sit down,”
“No …” replied Bette obstinately, “just tell me …”
Alice sighed, nobody liked to give bad news, least of all to Bette, she was the queen of the ‘act first think later’ school of thought and more than liable to kill the messenger,
“Alice …”
Alice paused, taking a seat out of harms way, “It’s David …”

“Oh my God Kit …” whispered Tina as she pulled the sobbing woman into her arms, “Kit … I’m so sorry … I … when did you find out?”
Kit spoke through her sobs, “Daddy called at the club … I …”
“Ssh …” Tina soothed, “ssh …”
“I never … he never …” Kit’s words of regret caught in the back of her throat,
Tina rocked her gently back and forth, “I know … ssh … it’s gonna be okay …”

Alice grabbed Bette’s hand and pulled her down next to her,
“It’s David … there’s been an accident … Bette … David and Monique … they’re both dead …”
Chapter Twenty Eight:
“When are they back?” asked Lottie, eager to break the looming silence that pervaded the table of women who’d gathered together once again as their routine for the past week to sit silently whilst pretending to eat lunch,
Tina sighed before answering, “The plane gets in around 2pm …” she said slowly, continuing to stir the sugar she’d added to her espresso some ten minutes before,
It had been a strange week, full of stilted conversations just like the one they were attempting to have now; Shane and Carmen sat up the far end of the table cooing to their baby, happy to have someone they could engage with who wasn’t wearing such a long face. The rest were all absent, apart from Alice, and Jo had left just moments before,

yay for you! this chapter is a major accomplishment…not only because it is so very long and took you so very long to post and not only cuz i was there and can attest to the latter point, but because you’ve been genuinely innovative within an already innovative storyline. i love how this story is evolving and moving forward. very cool! helena’s development is a lovely subthreadplot, and as always, i’m loving your willingness to give kit more than a passing ‘mofo’ comment. che’s additions to the story are going to be something to look forward to! pps:)
YEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!! … WOW, just saw that you posted and HAD to leave this cry of JOY before I went off to read!!! THANKS THANKS THANKS so much for posting!!! Yayyyyyy!
I am so glad you are posting again. I know how hard it is to write sometimes when the real world calls. I love this story. I can’t wait for the next chapter. PPS
I guess I’ll have to keep reading even if I’m lost.
Well I’ll be cow-kicked. And here I’d thought you’d given up writing and gone off to split your time betwixt pastures helebettian and the working world. Hell, I’m glad to see you back, sofa. And now that you are, please, DON’T EVER LEAVE AGAIN. Mkay? Ta, sofa. Ta. Anyhow, loved the chapter, loved the twist, missed the story, and now that I’ve been a greedy fool and read it all at once, I still have two hours to kill ’til I can go get Potty. Wait, I already am. Anyway, I regret nothing. Post soon!
Welcome back. I though David had a child, but then I though maybe that was just another story I read. Could still be a different story (lol). Anyway, glad you’re back to continue this story. Great update.
So why do I get a sense that Tina is not all that happy about this new addition to their family, or I assume to their family….tks for finally updating..love it!!
HUGE comeback sofa!!!! Great indepth, tense, all the way to the end…I thought for a minute that maybe David had relented and left sperm behind for Tina or something miraculous like a child, so well done, at least Kit and Melvin have a part of David with them…terrific…yes its flooding in the North Island and snowing heavy in the South Is of NZ…that’s the reason so many of you Britishers come here to live; u like the similarity (Lol) so I know what u mean by staying in to write, me too!!! Its too damned dangerous on the roads. Plz don’t be a stranger with your posts as u well know I’m loving ‘Lottie’ and the whole family, I adore me some Helena, has she got a nice woman yet? (I forget?)…Who is Lara with? Its been so long kiddo and I don’t want to have to reread the entire story so just tell me in your comments back Huh??? Like I said …great story…
Yippee!!! Sofa is back in town! I was so happy to see your post and enjoyed it as always! I hope Lottie doesn’t start to neglect Jo, as they are such a good thing! Hope Tina is not becoming overwhelmed with Bette’s family… first came Lottie and the foundation issues, now Che…one thought… why doesn’t Lottie want to live alone? She can obviously afford it?…..
Welcome back Sofa!! Seeing you had posted made my day. I am now comfortably in my happy place even though the post was a bit somber – but I loved it. You write these characters so well, all of them, and I’ll be glad for whatever updating you can give us. You’ve been missed! Good luck on the awards and congrats on finishing up school.
So Glad to see you back Sofa!!! You made my Friday!
First of all, welcome back. I am soooo glad that you are back and writing. I have missed your stories immensely. Next, I had a feeling that a child was left behind. The fact that David’s wife’s parnets and family had nothing to do with them struck me as odd until you nammed the child. It hit me then, Che is bi-racial child. It sounds like he is Asian-Afican-American (like Tiger Woods).
I’ve been missing this story and am so happy to see your post. Interesting twist… anxious to read where they go from here.
Hey I read one of ur stories and loved the way u write.So I visited ur page and ended up reading all ur stories. I loved this story in particular and can’t wait for ur next post:)PPS
Good chapter!
