Lottie sighed and flopped back onto the sofa, taking Jo with her, “Oh my God, my brain hurts,”
“Is it safe?” Tina asked, sheepishly reappearing on the stairs,
Bette scowled at her, “Yes, turncoat!”
“Aww …” Tina smiled and grinned at her, approaching stealthily to wrap her arms around Bette’s waist where she stood, “lucky it’s still early baby, we can get some coffee into you before you fall asleep,”
Bette groaned, aware that after Joyce, she’d drunk the most of all of them,
“I’ll give you a hand,” offered Lottie, her own weary groans escaping as she stood to help Tina in the kitchen, she glanced behind her as she walked away, wondering if her sister and Jo would make some conversation or opt for a drunken silence,
“Thanks for dinner,” she said to Tina, deciding to keep Tina company and nothing more as she seemed to have it all under control anyway,
Tina smiled, “No problem, sorry about the added extra,”
“Don’t be,” Lottie shook her head, “I can see now why she’d be a great lawyer, I mean it, I can really see her making mincemeat out of my Dad and all those other guys,”
Tina chuckled, “Yeah,” she paused, seeing the odd look on Lottie’s face as she spoke about her father, “Have you … heard from him at all?”
“Nope …” Lottie shook her head silently, “not that I expected to,” she paused, “in fact I was just telling Jo earlier that when I told him I was going to try and find Bette, he didn’t speak to me for a couple of months at least,” she chuckled, laughter hiding her sadness, “so I guess we’re looking at quite a bit longer than that this time!”
Tina smiled, finding there was nothing more appropriate she could do.
“So …” Bette sat with a cushion hugged tight against her belly, realising that as the minutes rolled by their silence was growing uncomfortable and she should probably say something, “they play is going well then?”
Jo nodded, “Yeah … great,”
Bette frowned, “Good. So, summer vacation soon?”
Jo nodded again, “Yep,”
Wondering why their conversation felt so stilted, Bette twiddled her thumbs anxiously, “Is everything ok? … if you don’t mind me saying you seem a little tense, did you two have a fight?”

i have so been hanging out for this story but didn’t have the cheek to PM u seeing as i’m way behind…but u did it; i love it; pps.
and i’m actually 1st!!!!
I’ve missed this story, thanks for posting…not that I don’t like what you have given us…it’s just I really love this story.
Wow, you did an amazing job picking right back up with the intrique. I am excited that you have gone back to writing this story,
Not first!!! Look who’s being all prolific and stuff. Good to see this one back. As long as you’re taking requests, how about revisiting “London Town”? (That is what it’s called, isn’t it? It’s been so long.)
I am thrilled to see your story updated! I wish Bette and Lottie would just talk to each other. They are both so afraid of losing the other that they don’t really even get the chance to know each other.
Lottie doesn’t have to stay in France the whole month… she’s got like trillions in the bank, can’t she hire a jet and just go see Jo for 4 or 5 days then come back for a week a couple of times? Or, can’t she fly her new family over to France for a visit while she stays with Jo? I dunno, money=options, and she’s got loads. As for Bette and the old idiots on the board, I think she can easily win one of them over. Or, failing that, make them scared to vote against her! And Al + Hels, too cute! I’m glad to see this back, thanks for the post, sofa, cheers!
what a great story! i think tina being a therapist so fitting for her personality!
Good chapter. Drama coming !
Wow. The drama. Glad to see a B/T story back. Hope you end up updating that story where they are in London sometime if you get the chance.
Thanks for updating this story, I really like this one. This should be a pretty tough decision for Lottie, but Jo doesn’t seem to be having as hard a time as Lottie with it.
Hey Sofa! thanks a lot for this update. I’ve loved this story from the beginning and I think you’re doing a marvelous job with the intrigue. And i’ve already said it but i love Tina’s personnality and B&T’s dynamic here. But I admit that I also fell in love with London Town and would love to see it continue… *hint* *hint*…. Thanks!!!
hehe, ok, see? i’m like 25th down the list, not the first to comment this time. yay for dying batteries. lol. i must say…super cute baby, super cute…lottie and jo and their mini dramas are just adorable and touching and really great. bette and joyce drunk are great, but you paint joyce in this really layered way so that i’m giggling over bette’s ‘curled lip’ while thinking at that very same moment ‘poor joyce’ and worrying about her. i love it, love the directions this story goes, love how you write it, love the characters…i’ll stop gushing now. but i’m glad you had a chance to get to this one. perhaps you’ll do some writing on my little ‘prezzy’ today? *giggles* xo
OH and i love alice and helena…that was also totally adorable. peggy’s whole thing about hearing them. hehehe…more of those two! :) i’m such a demanding grlfriend;)
“tons of inappropriate questions” And we want to hear the answers to all of them… Go Joyce!… ;-)
Thanks for the update. Enjoyed having this story back and the B/T/H safari.
YAY!! I was so excited to read this, & I loved this installment…I wonder what Lottie’s going to do about Jo…? Joyce’s appearance was great, Alice & Helena are hilarious as always, and of course I always love B&T. Thanks, sofa!!
