Tina hissed at Kit’s laptop, irritated by almost every little thing. Kit fixed them both a sandwich after feeding Angie and took it through to her sister-in-law.
“Thanks,” she said, “I’m almost done.”
“What time did she say she was getting there?”
“1pm” replied Tina, “so soon.”
“Angie?” Kit called, “are you ready to talk to your grandpa on the video?”
“It’s a webcam Aunty Kit,” Angie explained, walking across to them with a pile of pictures and drawings in one hand and her angel wings in the other, “to show Mom,” she explained.
After saying their hellos and talking a bit with Bette and Melvin they left Angie to visit with her grandpa. Tina smiled at how she loved him, feeling a little pang of guilt that he was the only grandparent she saw. Angie had won him over, softening the stiff heart of an old traditional man who refused to acknowledge her as his grandchild. Bette had initially refuted his efforts leaving it to Tina to be the one to say, ‘let bygones be bygones’.
Kit slipped her arm around Tina’s shoulder, “So darling sister,” she asked, “are you going to share what’s on your mind?”
Tina smiled, “So you can tell me I’m being stupid as well?” she suggested.
“Let me guess, your student?” said Kit.
Tina nodded, taking a bite of her sandwich. “Bette thinks just because she took off to Paris at nineteen without being totally truthful to Melvin that it’s normal.”
Kit laughed, “Well isn’t it? I thought all teenagers sought freedom from their parents when they left high-school.”
Tina frowned, “I didn’t”
“So,” answered Kit, gently, more than used to dealing with this emotional and protective side of Tina, “just because it’s not something ‘you’ chose to do makes it abnormal?” she asked, not waiting for Tina to reply. “I did it … I was in New York trying my best to get a recording contract when I was 19. Half the time Bette and Melvin didn’t have a clue where I was, or even if I was okay.”
Tina knew Kit had a point, she knew this about her and Bette, that Melvin had placed such tight constraints on them both they’d each rebelled in their own way. Still, Lottie was kind of her responsibility whilst she was in LA and that made it her business, right?

Maybe an unknown sister
your still killing me… and if you left any clues … well i missed them… unles lottie was talking with melvin while bette was talking to tina on her cell… ok waiting for the next chapter
I think maybe Bette had a child and the father raised her, I dont believe that Melvin knows about it. Lottie is just trying to find out about her other parent. It happens all the time when the child get older. thanks
wow u’ve got me going on this one…all signs makethis Bette’s daughter BUT i have a feeling not!!!! Is Lottie’s dad, Bette’s brother through their mother, Maxine…or is Lottie Bette’s half-sister through Maxine and this mysterious dad????? I gotta know soon, pleaszzzzzzzzzzz
Give the girl a car. Everyone in LA has a car. She can affor a hotel for the summer, but no car, no realistic. Thanks for sharing!
Maybe Tina feels like Lottie is trying to take her place somehow. I’m definitely sucked in, so PPS!
You are driving your readers…me included…crazy trying to figure out how Lottie might be related to Bette. I for one give up and will just wait until you tell us.
i’m getting really worried about that lottie person, she’s bothering me a little though i don’t think she’s evil or anything but she’s seriously disturbed, sort of LOL…i hope bette gets home soon
I love this story! Bette needs to come home before Tina loses it. If that is Bette’s daughter then will this put a riff in their relationship? I mean Bette had all these years to tell Tina…and I remember you had Kit say something about Bette going to Paris when she was 19 and Melvin didn’t know where she was….oh the suspense I love it!
Who really is Lottie!
Intriguing. Can wait to see what the relationship is between Bette and Lottie. Hope this info is coming soon.
cant wait for there more and bette/lottie to meet where we can see where it leads to…p.p.s.
I feel like Tina. Who is this Lottie person? She can’t be Bette’s daughter, can she? Has Lottie patterned her life to follow Bette’s. You really have us guessing. Keep Posting.
Gotta tell you, I love this story, and the storyline, and the whole mystery around who Lottie is, etc, but honestly, what I love the most about this story (and maybe your writing in general as i hope to find out with more stories of yours) is the way you portray Bette and Tina’s relationship. There are a lot of amazing authors on this site and a lot of them have done a fantastic job in describing the life-long relationship that B&T indeed have in our favorite fanfic land, but there is something very special about your B&T… They are so “together”, and real life-partners at so many levels. I mean, the very fact that you start this story with them both on opposite sides of the country and still make them appear closer and more in love than ever is simply amazing, and so addictive may I add! I really love your style and some the tiny details you integrate here and there… like this feeling of Bette that Tina gets everytime she enters one of Bette’s galleries… Tiny detail, but oh so meaningful! Thanks, and please post soon!
damn whooooooo is Lottie?????????????????????????????
