She drops her captain’s cap back on the steering wheel where I’d left it. ”And Mary’s your mum? A lovely lady.”
”I didn’t catch your name, it was unusual.”
”Savoy. Every hundred years someone in my family takes a turn at getting tagged with it. I was held upside down, spanked at 2 am one morning, and it was mine.”
Nellie calls to us from the porch. ”Savoy? Bette? Sazeracs?”
An hour later –
After a hot shower, a much needed Percoset from Nellie, followed by a cryptic chat with my mother, I’ve entered Nellie’s impromptu dinner party on a mission: Listen carefully and trust no one.
It’s so like my mother, I’ve begun to realize.
Back in our guestroom, she had whispered, ”There’s a lot of money here and there in this family, Bette.”
”But surely, Mother, no one’s coming over here to steal it — tonight.” I had emphasized.
”Very astute of you to be thinking that way. I’m sure you’re right, Nellie would have a safe.”
”Hold on, Mother. Are you really serious?” Then, I had pawed some more in my suitcase — specifically packed for Dallas — so not here.
”Bonds, titles to property…oil leases. Surely, she’d have stowed those papers safely at the bank.”
My blood stained blouse, with the sliced through knife hole, had ended up in my hand. ”Exactly, what’d you think’s going on here?”
”If she didn’t have on nail polish, my guess is we’d see discoloration, and the traces of arsenic poisoning under her nails.”
”You can’t be serious!” I had shouted too loud.
Mother had glared at me. ”Lower your voice, and listen to me, if I’d thought you were an idiot, I wouldn’t’ve brought you.”
I had replied in a hoarse whisper, ”I’m not a fucking idiot, and change your tone with me.”
We had locked eyes for a moment, until hers had softened, and she had kissed me on the cheek before walking away. ”Of course, I don’t think that.”
Holding court from her couch, Nellie entertains her parlor full of guests. The Mayor, I’ve gathered is her late husband, the Congressman’s political protégé, and his wife, a rotund and mischievously smiling woman, whose eyes dart frequently in my direction, and the quieter, less well-groomed couple, Gator and his wife, Louanne.

Yes! Update! This is getting more complicated for Bette? What the heck Savoy wants for Bette to do?
And Tina. Is there trouble in the horizon for her? Gambling problem for Aaron? Damn!
Thanks for the update BB.
It leaves me wanting more, especially now we have an ‘English Rose’ in there :-)
Don’t make me wait too long for the next post !
Hmm, what the hell Bette landed in? The story has so many twist, it keeps you captivated.
Hope there will be not trouble for Tina and her job.
Thanks for the update!
Sounds like Tina and Bette are in for some trouble. Enjoyed it
Trouble? Not really. But things to discover. Principally, I’m interested in your thoughts on Savoy, and the other cast of characters you met at the Dinner Party. I’m writing and beta testing a longer story here, with The L Word cast of characters, for a film script. The screenplay, (beta testing here in prose) will feature the strong female leads I’ve introduced, and an unfolding environmental theme that’s dramatically set in an environment both beautiful, but with a tragic past.
I’d enjoy hearing what you think.

MARY asked BETTE to come to her.BETTE meets NELLIE who is being poisoned by someone,SAVOY is a whistleblower on the run,the MAYOR’s son is in jail,the MAYOR’s wife is eating herself into an early grave and now MARY wants BETTE to entertain SAVOY(who hasn’t met TINA yet)who talks about BP(british petroleum)with GATOR and oil spills.Very twisty but entertaining especially if Aaron is gambling the movie away and ALICE wants to know about ms psycho.continue please

Absolutely nailed it! How involved can Bette get with this issue, she’s got Tina and Angelica to consider, how risky will this be? Also, what’s happening with the film. Bette and Tina have already been through so much, can they both deal with these new challenges together? Roll on the next installment…
Blackbird… Always a hidden gem! An ode to NYFW? The iconic Iris Apfel? In the last chapter, too ! Whoa Nellie! ! Very nice touch!
I am an admirer of these amazing photos
you put to accompany this story,
I must confess that I saved a few on my computer.
I hope Bette return home soon.
The entire constellation.
Bette does return in the next story – The Good Sister – https://lesfan.com/?p=92437
Please enjoy! Blackbird

This chapter has left me in so many directions with questions: Politics; gambling problems; Tina’s sister;
Shane’s mother; BP oil flow causing copiousness environmental problems; spark my interest in Bette’s mother’s abundance of money…The new character Savoy fits her name to perfection wonder where she
will lead us; can’t see Bette obliging her mother getting it on with her…again you have plenty of material here to continue keeping the readers anxious awaiting for the next chapter…#GreatJob…
