“Tell me what?”
Jo paused, taking her hands earnestly, she pulled Lottie towards her as she sat, forcing her to stand imprisoned between her legs,
Lottie stomped one foot impatiently, still half assuming, half-hoping there’d be a light hearted end to the revelation, “Jo …!”
Jo smiled, “Please don’t be upset,”
“I won’t … what?”
Jo sighed, “I’m going to Paris … once school finishes … for a month,”

“Shit”
Helena opened her eyes and in a fit of panic searched the room for the time, completely disorientated by the dark outside and the fact it had been daylight still when they fell asleep,
“Alice … Al, wake up!”
Alice groaned, refusing to wake, “No … um … five more minutes,”
Helena shook her roughly, “Alice! … wake up! … we’ve been asleep for hours!”
Alice opened her eyes reluctantly a slit, “What time is it?”
Helena picked up her watch, unsure whether she wanted to burst into tears or a fit of giggles, “Half-past ten …”
Alice stretched and yawned, opening her eyes up wide, “Wow, we slept for a ‘long’ time …”
As if waiting for it to register with her, Helena said nothing, watching her as she stretched again then settled back down to sleep, before seconds later her eyes shot open in panic,
“Oh my God … your mother!!!”
Helena nodded, “Yeah … my mother,”
Hurriedly they dressed, pulling out fresh clothes from the closet in the absence of being able to shower again. Meeting in the centre of the room to exchange underwear from opposite sides of the bed Helena giggled, figuring it was better to laugh than cry,
“What if they came looking for us?” Alice asked, still mortified, “what if they saw?”
“I think my kids have a little bit more sense than that!” Helena curtailed,
Alice stood with her hands outstretched, her bra in one and her shirt in the other, “They might, but what about your mother?”
Like naughty school children, adjusting their clothing and giggling into each other’s sides they left the bedroom cautiously and ventured downstairs. Helena was right, her kids weren’t dumb and with any look the sight of Alice’s car parked in the drive would have been enough for them to make themselves scarce, but the sound of an action movie drifting in from the den, made her think otherwise,

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!!
