The voice finally started speaking on the microphone. “Thanks, Dad. Mrs. Peabody has been a great client over the past year. I was just in London, handling some of her affairs and I want you to know how fantastically she treated me. This woman is not only a class act, but she really is a kind person.
Peggy Peabody laughed aloud. She took the microphone and replied. “You were a fantastic guest. This young man brought me the most interesting treat. It was this fantastic chocolate bar with this popping candy inside. I swear to you, I was completely sober, but felt like I had to be high.”
The guests laughed again. Henry’s voice sounded again. “All the credit goes to my wife, Christina Anderson. She’s the one with the sweet tooth.”
As the polite laughter began once more, Bette stopped in her tracks. Carmen was pulled to a stop alongside her.
“Bette?” she said.
Christina Anderson? There’s no way that could be my Christina Anderson. Tina’s supposed to be out of town. Besides, there’s no way she’s married. Least of all married to a man.
The chatter around them continued but Bette couldn’t move.
“I have to know,” she said.
Carmen gazed at her curiously, placing a tender hand on her date’s lower back. “Are you alright?”
Bette tugged her hand again and they walked around the second floor, moving so that Bette could see beyond the large Christmas tree. She had to know that Christina Anderson was not her Tina. Her heart was racing, she could feel the beat in her ears. Carmen was watching her, confused by the entire situation.
They drew nearer to viewing the woman who must be Peggy Peabody. As she came into view, Bette kept walking until they could see everything on that side of the tree.
“That’s Peggy,” said Carmen. “She wanted to meet you. She’s an art collector and underwrites shows. She has more money than God.”
Bette nodded absently, her feet pausing as she saw her Tina standing near Peggy, a microphone, and two men wearing tuxedos. Her Tina. A man had a hand on her shoulder, and she was smiling at Peggy, nodding at something the woman had said to her.

WhooHoo! Yes, time to confront her. Make sure she notices Carman when you get back in the limo!
So the cat is out of the bag. Wow. Will Bette confront Tina? I really hope so. Confronting but not shutting down please. Bette needs to hear everything, Tina needs to tell everything. They have to have an honest conversation about their relationship and the roadblocks in their way.
But I’m worried that they stopped in front of Tina’s house and Henry or worse Dad Emperor Kennard might be near. This conversation needs to happen somewhere safe.
Carmen proves to be a good friend. She saved Bette from falling back deep into drugs and alcohol. This was clearly Mrs. Bette Hyde rearing its ugly head.
Great that you introduced Peggy to your story. Gotta love her. Interesting that a sophisticated, gay-friendly hasbian as Peggy would have some business with Mr. K..
Thanks for these gut-wrenching ten pages. Stopping now feels like my ebook shutting down due to low battery when the protagonists are about to kiss for the first time ;-)
Well, I’m off now, maybe if I’m lucky you’ll have another treat i. e. chapter for us when I wake up in the morning. Okay, I’m greedy, sorry.
G’night
In long term i’m think Tina obviously needs to divorce with Henry – she’s not happy with him. But about Bette – i don’t think that this Tina needs this Bette in long term. After first lust and impression will go, what they have common? Tina – 35 years old powerful movie mogul, and Bette – well she still 19 old student.
This Bette to immature, too weak too be with Cris Anderson, or with Cris Kennard. This Bette can’t do anything alone, she always needs someone support – Dana, Tina, Alice and now Carmen. And i really don’t think that this Bette now needs girlfriend, she more needs nanny now. Nanny and therapy not only from rape, but also from alcohol and drugs.
Well in honesty I can’t say I enjoyed the post can I? :-(
However, thanks for the post and please post again soon.
I think it’s time for a stronger Bette, can I hope?
Also Tina needs to come clean and explain to Bette any plan she has, any chance?
Definitely need a Tibette force going forward please.
Love your writing, as ever:-)

I’m glad Bette saw things with her own eyes than hearing it from Alice. I hope Bette will give Tina the chance to tell everything and that Tina will come totally clean with her.
