Jo couldn’t even bring herself to be annoyed at their overbearing presence as they each ordered around their own children reminding them of their various food allergies, simply happy to have not had to do that one thing herself,
“I’m exhausted,” she said quietly, resisting the urge to flop her head down against Lottie’s shoulder,
“We’re nearly done,” Lottie supposed, having felt that the last run through of the second half went better than ever before, “I think once more through the dance routines after lunch and we should be okay,”
Jo nodded, “Can’t believe it’s nearly Thursday,” she said, almost to herself, she turned to Lottie and grinned, “Lucky that you didn’t have plans already huh?”
Lottie smiled, “I guess,”
She picked up Angie’s camera from her bag on the floor and checked the counter, “One more,” she turned towards Jo and began framing the photograph to take her picture,
Jo scowled, “Noooooo!”
Lottie fluttered her eyelashes, “Please …”
Unable to say no, Jo relented, striking a shy, coy pose as Lottie took the picture, then wound it on to the end of the film,
“I’m going to teach her how to develop these ones,” she said, thinking aloud, “I wonder if Bette will let us use the dark room at the university now that the semester’s over,”
Jo shrugged, “Maybe, you should ask her,”
“I will,”
They sat in silence for a few more minutes, absorbing the peace after a boisterous morning of children screeching and howling to be heard above the rest,
“What ‘will’ we do once our Sundays are free again?” Jo asked with a grin,
Lottie shrugged, “Dunno, sleep?”
“Go to the beach …?”
Lottie grinned, “Ooh, take a road trip!”
“One more week and it’s the holidays …”
Lottie nodded, aware that as Angie’s school holidays came around, so did Jo’s and neither one of them had mentioned whether she had anything planned for it,
“School holidays …” Lottie repeated, a sudden sense that their current conversation should be saved for a more private place, she put on a brave face and grinned, “any plans?”
Jo smiled, seeming to have know that the question was coming for a while, she looked sad and Lottie wished that she’d just say it, rather than leaving her in silent contemplation of the hundred different scenario than ran through her brain, each one of them growing in extravagance as they took Jo further and further away from her,

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!!
