“Ange, don’t eat too much …” Lottie called, “we’re going to The Planet for dinner,”
Angie wandered back in with a stick of celery in one hand and the jar of peanut butter in the other, “We are?” she asked, her mouth full of gooey stickiness, “is Miss Parkes coming?”
Lottie looked up at her, startled, “Um … I don’t know … why?”
“Just wondered,” replied Angie, flopping herself down in front of the couch to watch TV,
Lottie took a seat beside her, “Ange … why’d you ask that?”
Angie shrugged, “I just wondered that’s all, I figured you’d rather move in with Aunt Helena than with us because then Miss Parkes wouldn’t have to hang out with me all the time …”
Lottie sighed, before reaching over and tearing apart another stick of celery for herself, “That’s not why I chose to move in with your Aunt Helena …”
“It’s not?”
“No … and I don’t know why you would think that,” Lottie paused, “my choosing not to live here has nothing to do with you Ange, or Jo, … Miss Parkes, … it’s about me,”
“How do you mean?”
Lottie dipped her celery into the peanut jar and offered it to Angie to take a bite, “Your Mom and I just don’t need to be living together, that’s all, and I moved out of the hotel because the hotel was just temporary, now that I’m not planning on leaving any time soon I’d rather live some place nicer,”
“Aunt Helena’s place *is* nice,” Angie agreed, thinking of the games room where she would hang out with her cousins and of being right next to the beach,
“It is,” Lottie agreed, “but mostly I decided to live there because your Aunt Helena and I both have a lot in common, and I know that if I lived here, it would probably be great, but I wouldn’t want your Mom to feel like she had to be different with me …”
Angie nodded slowly, “You’ll still come round though, won’t you?”
Lottie grinned, “All the time, I promise,” she dipped her stick of celery one more time, “besides, you guys have better peanut butter, not that organic sesame seed crap that Helena buys!”

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!
