“What do you say we break for lunch?” Tina asked, popping her head around the office door.
“Sure, Planet again?”
“Nah, Wednesdays are a bad day, one of Kit’s friends holds a book review meeting there on a Wednesday and frankly they’re all a bit dull.” She smiled, hoping Lottie wasn’t a fan of book clubs. “But we could get take out and sit in the park across the street?”
“Sure, let me finish typing this up and save it, I don’t wanna have to come back to it.”
“Okay.”
Twenty minutes later they were sitting in the park with humus and peppers on rye bread which were sitting there waiting for them when they’d walked in. Kit knew how much Tina disliked the book club.
“So how are you finding things?” Tina asked, in between mouthfuls.
“Good, I’m enjoying it, it’s interesting.” Lottie replied. “I can’t wait to see how group works.”
“Well don’t expect too much at first,” Tina added, “they can be a close knit bunch, expect them to take some time to get to know you first.” She paused, “You know leading group can be a challenge on yourself sometimes, people often question your abilities to relate to them, to relate to the way they see themselves, live with themselves,” she looked questioningly at Lottie, “they may ask you things about yourself you’re uncomfortable with, but that’s part of psychology in general – coming to know yourself.”
Lottie nodded. “I know, they told us that in our first term,” she paused, remembering vividly her Psychology lecturer standing before them, a Carl Jung quotation written in bold letters across the blackboard. “Everything that irritates us about others leads us to a better understanding of ourselves.” She said, looking across at Tina to see if she knew the quote. Her lecturer had said ‘If you do not believe this man, you’d be best advised to leave now’ but nobody had left.
“Carl Jung” Tina smiled, acknowledging the quote, “and he’s right too. When I find myself exasperated nowadays I look to myself, it’s far more productive, after all it’s only myself I can expect to change,” she sighed, “although I wasn’t always like that.”
The statement was left hanging.
“So what made you want to be a psychologist?” Lottie asked.

I know Lottie’s got something to do with Bette. Now she can’t be Bette’s daughter cos we all know our Ms. Porter was never into guys. But she could be a sister Bette dosen’t know about. Guess I’ll just have to wait for more.
How about daughter of an ex?
I still have a feeling that Lottie will turn out to be Bette’s long lost daughter she had no idea she gave birth to. Lottie is bi-racial too right? I mean the way Tina describes her it would seem like Lottie is a clone of Bette or something. This is gonna kill me until you tell us who the hellafitzgerald this Lottie is. Please post soon
LMAO@akshay! hellafitzgerald! I’ll have to remember that one. I’d be afraid to be a psycologist. I’d probably uncover things about myself I had blocked out and then run screaming into the night because of it.
who could it be????? love this story cant wait till bette gets back into town..or will someone do a surprised visit??.p.p.s.
Hey there… i read your first 2 chapters last night at work… (i can’t comment from work) and i have to say i love this story… at first i thought lottie could be bette’s daughter… but then you said melvin was her father… so i am assuming she is not bi-racial… because angie would of pickup on that right away… so i do believe she is a 1/2 sister to bette and kit… i was also wondering if tina picked up on any thing else… like why lottie did’t do a double take when she met kit… and no mention of tina’s HUSBAND… now we all know she knows who bette and tina are.. but tina doesn’t know she knows… i hope this makes sense… not much sleep today… but i did read what you said … we will know the whole story before long… ok… please continue real soon… later babe
it has to be bette’s daughter cause she said that tina was much different than her other stepmothers.
I just caught up with this story and I love it! Lottie is Bette’s daughter from when she was in college…Bette had a boyfriend in college and she got pregnant…the boy’s family is wealthy and Bette gave up her child, this is a part of her past that Tina or anyone one of her friends don’t know about…maybe Kit..but Kit was off on her own while Bette was younger so she may not know. When Bette gets home and sees Lottie she will know…the question is how will Tina react. I am so ready for another post…please make it happen.
You are weaving a drama that is like a puzzle. We cant figure it out yet. Love that Tina misses Bette so much. Get Helena back to LA ASAP. she needs her friends. I’m not guessing yet about LOTTIE. I dont like to be to far off base thanks
Wow, I just caught up and am really liking this story. I get the idea that Lottie is Bette’s sister by her mother. The same mother that ran out on Bette all those years ago. I love how you are writing Tina. She knows that she has made mistakes but is working hard to be the wife and mother that she expected herself to be.
wait a minute Bette did do guys…even said how disgusting it was that she swallowed that stuff…at least in the L WORD she said that…so maybe this is her baby and the reason she so desperately wanted a child with Tina???? hell, i dunno u’ve got me guessing…blue eyes so must be white father???? post soon pleasz
This is good and love it!
It’s fun to guess what’s gonna happen…I am probably so off base with my guess that I am not even in the ballpark…lol. I just know I need you to post REALLY soon…this is a good one kid….
great chapter and love the mystery behind Lottie.PPS
