“Ooh,” said Alice, “fairies and unrequited love”
Lottie laughed bravely, thinking to herself that after the look she’d got from Tina at the gallery the day before she hoped she still had her placement on Monday. She’d lain awake half the night thinking about it, she hadn’t known when she’d turned up that Bette would be away, not that she was sure what she’d have done if she was here. It was all getting too confusing, she wanted more than anything for Bette’s family to like her.
“Alice?” she asked, tentatively, “Is Tina okay?”
“Huh?” said Alice, before realising what she meant, “Oh yeah, TK’s fine … she and Bette just don’t function well when they’re not together … why?”
“Nothing, she’s just seemed a bit annoyed with me since I agreed to help with Angie’s play.”
“Why *did* you offer to help?” asked Alice, thinking of nothing worse than having to help a bunch of third graders in a school play.
Lottie shrugged her shoulders, “I dunno, one minute I was telling Angie we could practice her dancing and the next I was in charge of the costumes and sets!” she exclaimed, still unsure of how that happened.
“You remind me of Helena … another one of Angie’s aunts,” stated Alice, waiting to see if Lottie would show any sign of knowing who that was.
Lottie waited for a further explanation, not getting one she offered, “Tina and Lisa were talking about her the other day.”
Alice nodded, “she’s in New York, her ex died and she’s looking after their children.”
“Wow,” said Lottie, “I’m sorry.”
“Helena is one of those people who can’t say no,” Alice continued, “she’s always gone out of her way to make things happen for people … no matter what it costs her … especially the people she loves.” Alice added, sadly.
Lottie smiled, it was meant as a nice, if gloomy comparison.
“They’ve been together a long time, huh?” she asked, meaning Bette and Tina.
“Yonks” said Alice, happy to be back on her favourite subject, “since the dawn of time,” she added drolly.
Lottie frowned, focusing on her food.
“So” probed Alice, playfully poking Lottie in the arm, ”you never did answer my question yesterday.”

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?????????????????????????????
