“Ahh…Bette…that’s what I admire about you – ever the problem solver. Yes…I’ll call the boys in valet and get a pair of them to take her car home. I would feel so much better knowing she was being looked after by you.”
What? Tina wasn’t certain she was hearing the conversation correctly. The Brunette would be driving her home? She slowly closed her eyes and opened them once more. Nope…no change. It was the same picture. Her mind searched for a reasonable excuse. There was no way she was allowing this to happen. The Brunette…take her home? Absolutely absurd. She could drive. She wasn’t helpless. Tina sat up suddenly to demonstrate her recovery. Unfortunately, the abrupt movement led to a wave of dizziness coupled with instant nausea forcing her to sink backward, stifling all non-compliance efforts.
“Really, Peggy…I’m fine. Just a little tired… and I guess I forgot to eat this morning so my blood sugar must have been a bit low…leading to a little fainting spell. I don’t want to trouble anyone…especially my new boss.”
“Tina, it scarcely looks as though you have forgotten to eat only one meal.” Peggy commented with a stern look giving rise to numerous lines across her forehead. “I sense your hesitation but let me assure you that you are completely safe with Bette. I guarantee it. She is a long-term friend with a most impeccable resume.”
Bette couldn’t help but beam. If Peggy knew the true source of Tina’s discomfort, she doubted she would be receiving such stellar praise. Tina was of course… safe with her… although maybe not in the way the elder Peabody meant. She internalized a chuckle but couldn’t contain a smile.
“Thanks so much Peggy. Please Tina, allow me to offer my humble assistance. I promise to deliver you home safely for what appears to be a much needed break from work. As your new boss, I would encourage you to follow through on our requests…” Bette winked at Tina as she finished her appeal.
Tina cringed. How did she end up here? The universe was completely out of alignment today. She knew she was no match to the fortitude of the elder Peabody and apparently not the mysterious Brunette who was called Bette. Hmm…Bette. Tina surmised that must be short for Elizabeth. Elizabeth what?

A wonderful confirmation that all good things come to those that wait
I think that Tina is in trouble. I belive it will be good trouble for bot Tina and Bette.
Wow.. A lot of great stories are coming back… It’s so good to see this one return. Thanks for posting!
Good to see you back, thanks for the post. Bette is the boss now huh? Well, we’ll see how long that will last in the bedroom I mean board room. LOL!!
Great to see you and this story back, Eastmorn. I’ve missed reading this story and your take on Tina and her relations with Alphas. :-) I’m so sorry to hear about your animal companion, that’s very sad news indeed. :-( Take care.
Thanks for posting – I had missed this story! Brilliant and can’t wait to see what happens! It’s going to be very interesting. M so sorry to hear about your cat. Hope you’re doing ok.
I’m so glad your story is back, I was really missing it!I’m sorry to hear about your cat. It’s really hard to lose a pet. I had to put my 20 year old to sleep a couple of months ago. It’s like losing a family member. It does get easier as time goes by but there are still times I forget she’s gone and expect to see her coming around the corner.Please don’t keep us in suspense too long with this story. I hope Tina will start to trust Bette so that she can heal from the damage caused by her ex-girlfriend.
Ha! I forgot to mention “cat” in my last comment. It was my cat I had put to sleep…not my daughter…
So sorry to read about your cat, but I’m sure she was happy to have lived with you for 14 years. I’ve missed your story and can’t wait for that car ride and the development of their relationship. Thanks for coming back!
”it is a pleasure to have your acquaintance…formally” – nice one!… hope your writing gives you a bit of distraction from your sadness, E.
Eastmorn, I know how you feel about your cat…I had to put my 16 year old dog down last year and I still miss him so much after all this time. Ilove that you’re back with this story and the time in between hasn’t affected your writing…it’s still as good as ever. So…Bette has her chance now…let’s see what she does with it!
you’re back! and ready to complicate things as much as possible it would seem…Helena’s waiting in the wings…and Bette’s inner Alpha has stepped in. Okay then… bring on the car ride home! (couldn’t be sorrier to hear about your kitten.)
that was a great surprise posting, can’t wait to see what happens when they leave the office!!
That car ride to Tina’s house is sure to be interesting… I wonder if Bette’s regained sass will put Tina off, or will the more vulnerable Bette make a reappearance? I’m glad you’re back. I’m really sorry about your cat though, East. Thanks and more when you can.
oh thanks for bringing this back – i’ve really missed it! So, so, soooo happy Bette is feeling more confident and sassy, i don’t like an insecure Bette. Can’t wait to read what happens in the car now, pps!
Hi- welcome back. I was wondering if you would specify what ASP means, I assume it is an abbreviation? If you mentioned/stated what is means before, forgive me for asking again. Again …. WELCOME BACK!!
thank you for bringing this story back. i am sorry for your loss. this should be interesting especially when helena is due home soon.
I have been esp ing you for the last week so thank you. My best friend’s cat passed away yesterday so we’re very devastated and so I appreciate your pain and struggle. When and if the day ever comes where I loose my own dog I could be unreachable I fear.Live in the moment I say. Thank you for responding to my waves. I feel better now.
Sorry about your cat, Eastmorn. It’s always hard when you lose something you’ve given so much love to. Thank you for posting this. I’ve missed this story!
great updates…i hope Tina recovers soon.Im sure Bette will help in that process.
I absolutely adore this story and feel so privileged to see it back. Tina certainly has her plate full (no pun intended) with Helena’s return imminent and Bette now seemingly in the forefront of her thoughts. Hopefully she can balance her personal/professional life and there will not be any further events that send her into another tailspin with even more disastrous results. I hope someone can help her get back to who she was, physically and mentally, before the horrible Alexandra debacle. I truly think she should consult a psychiatrist so that she can vent and not have to keep this horrible thing inside. At this point, she certainly needs all the help she can get.
I’m very sorry for your loss. When a pet is around for that long they become a part of the family. I wish you all the best.
