Tina smiled, watching as she seemed to come to terms with the fact she’d grown more attached to Jo than any of them thought, “Then you should tell her that,”
“I did … she said ‘then come?’ …”
Tina shrugged, “So?”
Lottie shook her head, “I can’t, I already feel like my feet barely touched the ground here, and before I know it the summer will be over and I’ll be back in New York for the fall.” She seemed sad as she said it, “I want to spend as much time with Bette, and Angie and all of you as I possibly can,”
Tina slipped her arm around her shoulders, pulling her close, “Bette would understand, and so would Angie, we all would, you should do whatever you want to do, follow your heart and all that shit,”
Lottie sighed, pulled in a million directions once again, “But the Trust, our plans … what about …?”
Tina silenced her with a simple look, “They’d all still be here when you got back?”
She stayed to finish the bottle of wine with Tina, before calling a cab to take her home, hovering in the doorway as they said goodbye, Tina whispering in her ear to ‘sleep on it’ as she hugged her tight,
But she thought about it every second of the cab ride home, and as she paid the driver she considered what she might say to Bette if she decided to leave, and what she would tell Jo if she didn’t,
“Hey!”
Alice spied her from the lounge as she walked on through the dark house and up towards her bedroom,
Lottie turned to see them both sat curled up on the sofa with a half-drunk bottle of tequila and two glasses, giggling in hushed voices, too awake to sleep,
She went to sit with them, “Still up?”
Helena nodded, “Yep, we’re drowning our sorrows, it’s been a hell of a night!”
Lottie nodded in acknowledgement, “Yeah? … mine too!”
Alice spoke as if she didn’t believe that could possibly be true, “Oh yeah … so did ‘your’ mother overhear you having sex as well?”
Lottie giggled, amused by the way Helena hid her head in her hands in shame, “Nope … worse,”
Helena looked up disbelieving, “Worse than your children being there too? Worse than falling asleep only to wake up several hours later and find they’ve been in the house the whole time?”
Lottie thought about it, “Maybe …” she sat beside them on the arm of the couch, “how about having the first family dinner with your girlfriend invaded by Joyce Wishnia …?”
Alice and Helena turned to glance between them, okay, that would be awkward,
“Who …” Lottie continued, “proceeded to get horribly drunk with Bette and ask tons of inappropriate questions,”
“Ouch …” said Alice, imagining it carefully, “that is bad!”
“Then!” said Lottie, not quite finished, “to top it all off, Jo just told me that she’s going to France for a month!”
Alice stretched across Helena for the bottle and brought it back, handing it to Lottie, “Here, you win …”

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!!
