“Lottie!”
Angie screeched from behind, cutting them off and calling for her Aunt’s attention,
“What?” Lottie turned around, “Ange, don’t yell, what’s the matter?”
“We saved you some food,” Angie replied, a little miffed to be told off when she thought she was doing something nice,”
Lottie groaned,
“Come on,” said Jo, raising her by the arm, “lets go eat, this’ll keep …”
Another run through of outlandish dance routines and they found themselves rushing to call it a day a little earlier than planned. As the kids grew tired and fractious the atmosphere inside the auditorium changed from relaxed to tense as the uptight and overbearing mothers began pacing the floor, looking to Lottie and Jo with daggers in their eyes as their precious little prodigies began to fade. Even Lottie found herself doing it, fussing over Angie and the growing number of times she would rub her arm encased in it’s heavy plaster as they did the last routine just ‘one more time’, but she was proud as well, because they looked pretty good,
But it took Tina by surprise when they turned up over an hour earlier than expected, sort of weary looking and bedraggled as they walked in the front door, pushing an exhausted Angie before them,
“Long day …” said Jo, plonking herself in the nearest available seat at the breakfast table,
Tina smiled and took their various bags from them, hugging Angie as she leant against her, “Don’t look now, but it’s about to get even longer …”
“What?”
In the living room, Bette and Joyce sat discussing everything from the upcoming LA pride to the current administration, all washed down with a bottle of Scotland’s finest. Tina left them to it in favour of starting the dinner, finding that Joyce after half a bottle of liquor became a little too blunt to take. Bette had smiled sheepishly as she walked away, aware that she was ‘supposed’ to be staying sober for this first dinner where Jo had been formally invited,
“Nothing,” said Tina, saving it, “so, how did it go?” she asked, keeping her voice low so they’d be saved from the Wishnia inquisition a little while longer,
“Good …” replied Lottie, mechanically fixing a couple of coffees for herself and Jo without bothering to ask, “but I’m exhausted,” she added, as if it wasn’t obvious, “what’s for dinner?”

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!!
