“For sure …” said Tina, “I have appointments till late but then it’s just me and Angie in for the evening with ‘Freaky Friday’ again!” she added despairingly, smoothing down Angie’s wild bed-hair.
“Talk to you later then” said Bette, before hanging up and continuing along the corridor towards the main foyer for the Faculty of Arts.
She paused there, the walls adorned with prize winning pieces of art, boards displaying the many accolades and achievements of students throughout the years. She stood then facing the west wall before an oak-wood panel inscribed with fifty-three years worth of successors to the Archibald Kennedy Prize; Charlotte’s name down at the very bottom, her own about twenty places higher, a quiet secret. Hanging beside them on the crisp clean white wall … the painting, haunting and familiar like an old photograph you recognise but can’t quite place. Bette studied it, how it began in one time and seemed to end quite in another. She liked it, loved it even, and for the first time since hearing about her she was actually interested in meeting this Lottie girl.
Lottie waved across at Alice as she ordered a salad from the girl behind the counter, Alice sat at her favourite table with her laptop open in front of her, a litter of plates and empty coffee cups surrounding her.
“Hey …” said Alice, pulling out the chair beside her, “join me … I’m going out of my tiny mind here”
Lottie laughed, “Why Alice … why are you going out of your mind?”
“I have this freelance article to write, for LA Magazine,” Alice replied, “only my boss is a fuckwit with only half a brain!”
Lottie just smiled, sure that she could sit and listen to Alice rant about work for the next 45 minutes, there were worse ways to spend a lunchtime.
She picked through the rest of her salad whilst Alice let off steam, seething about the current magazine editor’s total lack of respect for the fact that she was now a published writer.
She’d been a good friend, Lottie thought, warm and inviting, always making her feel welcome.
“Alice?” she asked, seizing the opportunity that presented itself when Alice paused for a second to regroup her thoughts, “are you going to this thing at Tina’s house tomorrow?”

bette’s on the way home….earlier than usual too, so the next chapter has gotta b a NC17…unless u’re just plain “evil”
OH YES THE LOOK! TIBETTE KNOW THAT LOOK VERY WELL….YES BETTE COMIN HOME TO SURPRIZED TINA YIPPEEE…P.P.S.
Yes Bette getting home early is great. What is the connection between Lottie & Bette? You are killing us here…will Bette see what Lottie looks like and know her? How will Lottie react when seeing Bette face to face? More please.
i think lottie and bette are sisters. i mean bette’s mum gave birth to lottie after she left melvin and found someone else. and that’s how they share the artistic character. however they are connected, it’s a great story. thanks a lot and post soon!
The whole chapter was superb…and Bette’s going home early/sweet, Tina will be so happy…will she faint when she sees look-a-like Lottie??? Angie is a mischief!!!! like a lot of little girlz…and Aunt Alice is ssooooooo informative to Lottie….Jo and Lottie?? more family members???…love it…look forward to the next chapter.
That wasn’t nearly long enough to fix my addiction to this story. Like everyone else I have my theories on who Lottie is, but I guess I will have to wait and see. I love this story. Please Post Very Soon.
I’m surprised Lottie didn’t ask Alice about the line between Helena and Tina. And Angie…OMG. The look. LOL!
Yes homeward bound. Can’t wait for Tina and Bette to get together. Oh wait, that means that Bette will get home the night of the party. That should be interesting.
Good chapter and Angie is so cute, Bette is coming home!
YAY!!!… Dreams DO come true! Bette coming home early is awesome!!! I hope it will be during the barbecue, when everyone is around… And here comes the big entrance of Bette Porter! Anyway, the morning phone call was so sweet. I’m sorry but I’ll say it again, there is something really special and awesome about your writing about B&T. I can’t get enough of it! Thanks.
Wonderful story! Thank you!
