Lottie chuckled at the obvious attempt to cheer her up, “Whatever,”
By the time Tina got back to the office it was after 2pm and her new client was already there and waiting. Lottie wanted to ask her where she’d been but she looked kind of stressed and anxious and it didn’t seem right,
“Thanks,” said Tina, taking the woman’s file before she headed into her room, “Bette might call,” she added quickly, “If she does, then that’s all I can be interrupted for,”
Lottie nodded, returning quietly to the enormous pile of filling and paperwork which had been neglected by the both of them for more than a week now, she kept her eye on the clock, watching as the minutes rolled on, wondering whether Kit and Bette were back on LA turf, queuing in line at LAX to retrieve their stuff and get the hell out of there. She wondered who was going to pick them up, and if nobody was, because no one had mentioned it, then she wondered why that was too,
Bette went ahead, leaving Kit behind to deal with some of the paperwork. Having left with very little in the way of belongings it sure seemed like they’d brought back with them truckloads of stuff. It wasn’t true, she supposed, the real truck with the rest of the things would be arriving in a couple of days, but it sure felt like it,
As she waited for their luggage to come through Bette pulled out her cell phone and switched it on, no signal. Tina would be in consultations anyway, as she always was on a Wednesday afternoon but the fact that she couldn’t make the call to let her know that they were back in LA, safe and sound, made Bette nervous,
It was hard, becoming so accustomed to mortality so quickly like that, so in tune with the idea that anything can happen suddenly at any time. For her and Kit they’d always both assumed that with Melvin’s ailing health, he would be the thing they’d have to deal with next in their lives, not David,

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
