“So, how was your day …?”
Tina shrugged, “Okay, oh and I called in to see Lisa,”
Done with their offloading, Bette pulled her close, “You did?”
“Uh huh …”
“How is she?”
Tina leant her head against Bette’s shoulder, sighing deeply, “She’s okay, I think, better now that she’s back at home, but I don’t think she’ll ever come back to work,”
“No?”
Tina shook her head sadly, backing away from Bette to wander into the sitting room, she flopped down dejectedly upon the couch, hugging a cushion tight to her chest as she waited for Bette to join her,
Letting her be alone for a minute or two, Bette fixed them both some tea, knowing that in times of trouble it was what her wife’s mind wanted. She sat beside Tina and began stroking her hair soothingly, waiting for her to talk,
“How was your day?” Tina asked, resting her head against Bette’s chest,
Bette chuckled, “You wouldn’t be changing the subject would you?”
Tina laughed, “Indulge me …”
“Okay …” Bette grinned, “well, actually Helena called …”
~
Helena busied herself tidying up the kitchen from lunch, Peggy and the children having just left to go shopping again on Sunset, despite Helena’s pleas that her mother not spoil her grandchildren any more than she already had,
Sometimes when she watched them growing up into young adults she finished up thinking of Lottie, and how she wanted them to be like her, un-phased by their family’s wealth. But Peggy spoiled them when she asked her not to, even more so since Winnie died, her justification that in their grieving time they deserved a little pampering, but it made Helena sad, having learned the hard way that money doesn’t buy you love,
She sat down again in solitary silence, staring at her bag upon the kitchen worktop, inside which was a videotape that Alice harassed her over daily, asking again and again if she’d found it. It wasn’t lost, she knew exactly where it was from the moment Alice asked, she just didn’t want to give it up, being ashamed of the person she was way back when the film was made,
A key turned cautiously in the lock upstairs, she knew it was Alice, her guarded entrance a sign that she hoped the rest of the family were gone, not that she didn’t want to see them, just that she longed to have Helena to herself again,

i agree with honda90, thank you for this story and the nice long updates. It is one of my all time favorites because you really seem to understand the characters and speak in their voice incredibly well. I can’t wait to see where you go with this story! Thanks again for the great update and please post soon! :)
This story is one of my absolute favourite and I am so glad dat u’ve been posting regularly, many thanks. Can’t wait for the party PPS
I love this Sofa! The pace is perfect as you develop the characters and storyline. Alice is a trip, but I love this Lottie character! LMAO I think that Alice may have a match there. Can’t wait to see where you take this next. Post as soon as you can! Thanks Sofa :-))
How cute are Lottie and Jo? And how “cute” are Bette and Tina for that matter? Hickeys, at that hour of the morning, tut-tut. I like that Bette was willing to swallow pride and ask for photos for Al’s b-day surprise for Lottie… Speaking of, is the tape of Hels *that* bad? Unless she was wearing dodgy clothes (impossible, I’d imagine, for a Peabody) and singing karaoke off-key, I can’t think as to what the big deal is. She’s not the person she was then, and everyone knows it, so hopefully it’s not a problem. Anyway, why is Alice so set on showing it? Hmm, curiouser and curiouser. Great chapter, sofa. Cheers for the post!
Thanks for satiating me Sofa! Can’t wait to see what the deal is with the tape and what else Alice has planned at the party. Love this story!
B&T are hot and sweet, Lottie and Jo are cute, Helena and Alice are funny and cute. Please post more, thanks!
How will Bette handle Lottie having the money to finance their project? I hope that this project will bring them together. I love all the flirtation and can’t wait to read more!
no *you’re* the best girlfriend ever…hehe…ok, well now that i’ve let my secret out–that i am always tempted to gush a great deal more than i ever actually do–i’ll just say what i think. definitions aside, this story always feels epic…its got everything, birth, death, and the meanings of the daily things in between…and the sex is hot, because it lives in the tapestry you create with your writing…as always, baby, your writing is downright poetic. but nothing i can say here can really describe how i feel reading your stories…really…truely…i’ll stop now;) your writings are as beautiful as you are…xoxox
I can’t ever seem to get enough of this story…at least your generous enough to give large portions!!! Pls post soon…
The story gets better and better! Can’t wait for the Paris trip, that should be a lot of fun!
Wow, that Alice sure can make a production out of things, I hope she’s scheduled a bit of free time for socializing during the party. Too bad Jo and Lottie didn’t enlist her to help with the play, they would have had more free time and Alice could have worked off some of her excess energy. At while Peggy’s in town. Otherwise Helena might get ‘pressed’ into service. May I recommend the girls check out the Rue de Dragon? It’s been a while but there used to be some charming and unpretentious restaurants there. And the Marais is a good stroll away from the bulk of the tourists. And may I further that you make good use of the fact that you’ve got, however briefly, Bette and Tina, as well as Alice and Helena, in empty houses?
I agree with all of the above… can’t help but love Lottie, so unspoiled by all of her wealth… hope this party finally convinces her that she is truly loved.. and that she belongs … that’s what we all want really, to be loved and to belong to someone…….. love it as always…. thanks sofa!
Wow, love the Bette and Tina time together and how embarrassed Lottie was about the kiss. Can’t wait for more of this very intriquing story.
