One long sustaining note of music had lifted up off its page, and held us together in a kiss that lasted so long — it had finally shot through me like a lightning bolt.
And there it was. And I knew I’d fucking had it.
I was deeply in love.
”God!” A shiver of the memory of it zaps me in the back seat of the Lincoln. I begin a text to James, ”Get in touch with that inn in St Helena, and . . . ” but my phone rings and interrupts my orders.
”Shane. I heard you’d made it out alive.”
”Yeah, you too, you know?”
”I do know.”
”So, I gotta fly back in two days, maybe three tops.”
”You’re going through with it? I think you’re brave. Tina and I both do.”
”It’s the right thing . . . but you guys don’t have to come back next time, okay? It’ll be safer that way.”
A burst of laughter escapes me, and Shane, too. ”So absurd, but I know what you mean.”
The Lincoln glides into my street, and I see her up ahead, pacing back and forth in front of our houses. I pass the driver a hundred dollars, and he pops open the trunk.
Getting out of the car, a yawn escapes me. ”Where is everybody?”
”She went to pick up dinner.”
”Grab a beer, while I change into something that doesn’t smell like alligators and the ass end of airplanes.”
My bags drop at the sight of my own bed, and I fall across my mattress. ”I don’t think I can ever leave you again.” I hug at my pillows. Then, I remember the vineyard trip with Tina, and roll over to send my text to James.
Whoosh! Off it goes. ”Ah,” I sigh, so relieved, and fall back into the pillows.
Tina and Angelica’s voices are at the front door, and a second later my daughter comes running into the bedroom. ”Momma B saw alligators!”
Then, Tina calls, ”Bette? Are you home?” Quickly, followed by her eyeing me from the doorway. ”Okay, what was our agreement about boots in the bed?” But smiling she falls down next to me, anyway.
”Angie, what’s for dinner?” I ask over the soft clapping of our quick round of pattycake.

Oh, dear lord, it seems the shit has arrived and Bette is clueless, she is a little absorbed with herself and doesn’t pay attention on what is going around her, she better be careful.
Great pictures! And thank you for the update!
Glad BETTE is back home with her family.thanks
Can’t wait until the Miami chicks and Bette have a talk. Should be very interesting. Loved it. Thanks Blackbird

Well damn! Bette needs to think about how she handles this situation with T. However, looking forward to her sorting out those bitches from Miami! Eagerly awaiting the next installment

Just now got all up-to-date. Looking forward to seeing how this unfolds. I”m a huge Pam Grier fan, so anytime you work in Kit, I’m there all over it. On a side note: I sometimes imagine a wall at your house covered with post-it-notes and yarn linking plot elements together, as you always have so many subplots twisting in and out. Or do you keep this all in your head, BB? If you do and can, I am in awe and amazement!

You write romance like no other: A kiss that lasted so long – it had finally shot through me like a lightning bolt…gives me goosebumps…like your sense of humour; you know exactly where to place it too: you guys don’t have to come back next time, okay? It’ll be safer that way…(funnyyyy). You do have Bette working harder keeping her focus on Tina more now than having drifting off in a cloud…
Yes, you need to bring those Miami chicks back into play…I like having Kit here; Kit is a great aunt to Angelica; but truly doesn’t have the time nor concentration to look after Angelica for long periods of time at the moment…seriously, considering Shane…let’s see where that takes you…so enjoying your writing…

@Blackbird_write Well done! I always loved how Kit could lay that reality smack down to Bette; revealing her vulnerability.
Via Twitter – I also enjoyed that fine balance of Bette’s nostalgia for the “old” T & her equal partner she’s planning to spoil????

You have taken your story line to a whole new level…Tina going to a Gypsy to entrust her relationship now with Bette will survive…wow…did not see that coming…so thrilled you did that. Tina is smart to realize she needs someone to ride shotgun is right…someone who has the stomach & nerves of steel to handle the game plan to take over Aaron’s job.
Laughed when I read Tina blushed recalling the sex with Helena at unusual places….right
place in the storyline to place this…I understand Bette now; so not surprised the complexity of Bette hating & trying to get Tina back at the same time…you did a fantastic job with Bette’s character. Like how you didn’t make Jodi a wimp of a character…Bette leaving her won’t have
shedding tears…Good to see Joyce back in the play…self assured; spoils herself comes to mind; can manoeuver anyone she wants…maybe that is the definition of a lawyer…haven’t given much thought to it…No one lectures Bette; though I don’t think Joyce had that in mind…
Bette & Joyce cooking…looking forward to that challenge…well…looking forward to the next chapter better put…you are one intriguing writer…can’t get enough of you…;-)
I am slowly updating my reading,
I hope to do this as quickly as possible.
Photo of Bette at the beginning of the page is great! go to my file.
Bette back home, very good.
The entire constellation.
