Jo smiled, “No, no fight,”
“Oh … good …”
Jo paused, further words of explanation hovering on the edge of her tongue yet it wasn’t right to talk about her planned summer absence with Bette when she hadn’t even discussed it with Lottie yet,
“Well, just so long as it’s nothing to upset my sister …” Bette questioned coolly, after Jo failed to expand, “I think she’s been messed about enough recently, don’t you?”
Jo nodded, “Indeed,”
“The good man himself hasn’t called or anything?” Bette asked, embarking upon the last exchange,
Jo shook her head inevitably, “Nope …”
After that, they both chose silence, Bette quietly wondering if Jo was aware that her baby sister’s birthday was coming up that week, and whether that was what had her so consumed in her thoughts. Jo in turn worried internally as she played Bette’s last comment back over and over in her head, wondering of there was any substance to the threat that she’d better not mess Lottie around,
“Everything okay?”
Tina and Lottie came back to join them, entering the room like a knife to cut through the rising tension,
Jo smiled, more pleased than ever to see them back as she shifted over to let Lottie sit beside her. In turn, Bette grinned somewhat drunkenly as she pulled Tina lasciviously to sit on her lap, as she and Lottie then exchanged knowing glances, both wondering what was up between their respective other-halves,
Sometime later, Lottie and Jo began politely clearing the coffee things away, leaving Tina to attend to Bette who was halfway passed-out on the couch, Jo slid her hands around Lottie’s hips and pulled her close,
“We need to talk …”
Lottie cringed, her back to Jo in a way that meant Jo couldn’t see her, realising that no one had ever said those words to her before, but as far as she knew, they were never good,
“Lottie?”
She turned in her girlfriend’s arms, reluctantly coming face to face with whatever she had to say, “Must we?” she asked childishly, her impish grin hoping to postpone whatever ‘serious’ conversation Jo wished to have,
Jo shrugged, “If I don’t tell you now then it just seems to get bigger and bigger than it actually is …”

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!!
