“It won’t matter though, will it?” Tina asked, “I mean, Lottie said they can’t do a thing about her voting you in?”
Joyce nodded, “That’s true, from what I’ve read there’s not a single thing they can do to stop that, but they still have to work together,” she paused and turned to Bette, “you won’t get very far I’m afraid if you haven’t got your Board members on your side,”
Bette nodded, remembering the last time she’d faced working with a board of Trustee’s at the CAC, “Yeah …”
Tina grimaced, “Bette, that doesn’t sound very hopeful,”
“You’ll need to be upfront from the start,” Joyce continued, formulating her battle plan, “the last thing you need is for him to get the opportunity to get something over on you, that means anything he might know about you, you’ll have to disclose from the very beginning, I mean ‘everything’, Tina, Angie, your history with him, how you first met Lottie … the full works,”
Bette sighed, “Great, suddenly it seems like I’m back with the firing squad at the CAC all over again,” she paused and turned to Joyce, “how damaging could it be?”
Joyce shrugged, “Well, there’s eleven of them and two of you … together you hold a 45% share of the votes, with a 55% majority rule, they can’t make decisions without one of you agreeing but similarly you can’t do a thing unless at least two of them agree with you,”
Tina smiled, “Two … see babe, that’s not so bad,”
Bette shook her head, “We’ll be lucky to get one, once he reminds them all I’m that liberal lesbian arts activist who just ‘happened’ to get fired from the CAC, we’re doomed, they’ve probably all got Faye Buckley on their speed-dial,”
Tina sighed, “Way to think positively baby, maybe they’re not *all* assholes like the ones we met the other night?”
Bette and Joyce merely exchanged knowing glances, wishing they each had the same degree of optimism that Tina had,

“Oh … my … god …” said Lottie, stating the three words carefully, she sat down beside Jo in the front row of the auditorium as the kids all sat up at the back in the stalls, hungrily tucking into the ‘healthy’ Californian lunch which some of the more ‘involved’ moms had brought along,

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!!
