A deep-throated chuckle came from somewhere near Bette and Tom.
“Juliana!” Tom exclaimed and started to jump up from the table but something stopped him halfway. He continued to stand after a barely perceptible pause.
The pretty woman who had walked up to their table was dressed in a chef’s coat; she stepped quickly to Tom. She said softly, as she rubbed Tom’s shoulder, “Please, Tom, no need to stand on my account.”
He waved his hand dismissively, “Oh, come on. What kind of gentleman would I be if I didn’t stand up for such beauty? And talent! Bravo Juliana!”
They exchanged a hug and kisses on both cheeks.
“Juliana, I’d like you to meet my very good friend, Bette,” Tom said as he drew back. “And the beautiful blonde on her phone there is Bette’s better half, Tina.”
“So you’re Bette!” Juliana exclaimed, as she extended a slim hand with long, tapered fingers to Bette. “Tom was simply raving about you when he returned from New York after Fleet Week. I can see why!”
Bette shook the offered hand and smiled at her, and then shot Tom a questioning look.
Juliana waved at Tina who was still on the facetime call. “Hi, Tina! I hope your pregnancy is going well?”
Both Bette and Tina gave Tom surprised looks.
“I must say I was slightly jealous when Tom started to prattle on non-stop about the … what did you say, Tom … just absolutely stunning Bette Porter-Kennard !” Juliana continued and poked Tom on his shoulder teasingly. Tom’s face had reddened far more than Bette ever recalled it being.
“He did huh?” Tina asked, with a smirk. Tom’s crush on Bette had been something she had continuously teased Tom about.
“Yeah! Here I was thinking I was the stunner in his life …” Juliana continued, her arms criss crossed in front of her, hip cocked to one side, shapely brow arched elegantly, deep blue eyes in a teasing mood.
“Aww … you know that Ashley would never stand for that, Juliana!” Tom rejoined, his own grey-blue eyes flashing at hers.
Bette and Tina looked at each other, and then at Juliana and Tom.
“Ashley’s my girlfriend,” Juliana began to explain. Her shoulders began to sag a little.

‘It could turn out to be a fatal mistake’ is the intriguing tempting sentence and then 21 pages later we’re still wondering!
Great Story over it’s many twists and turns and another great chapter. Thank you looking forward to 33.
Indeed still wondering about that sentence.
It is a very good and intriguing story, so many happens and it keeps you captivated to the end.
I like all appreciate the beauty of Brete, I like Tom drooling over Bette, Tina presume I like his love Bette, please keep writing and indulging with your stories, thank you very much!
I bet those fishing shops have nice little pointy knives…the kind you can strap to….well – where ever you can hide one ! The girls have to win ! Mr Green with the lead pipe in the library ! Get that snake off her path !
Love your story and look forward to every twist! I don’t even try to guess where you’re going, but just hang on for the bumpy ride. I’m probably in the minority, but I can’t stomach Tom! He is so inappropriate and disrespectful. A peeping Tom that doesn’t bother to hide in the bushes. At least Ashley called him out on his behavior. Cannot imagine Tina allowing him to be their donor and Bette allowing him to continually ogle her. Don’t imagine Bette would tolerate Miller acting that way towards Tina. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
Hi, am glad you are enjoying the story, and thanks for telling me what you think. Several thoughts in response: 1) the Bette in this storyline is an inveterate flirt, something that Tina has had problems with from the start ( see early chapters in “Let It Happen” and a few chapters in “Love Soul Heaven Hell), yet she believes she’s in control of it… we’ll see; 2) all the same, she is insanely devoted to Tina; 3) and Tina feels the same. But still, there was a point when they were questioning their expectations about the other (in their own ways; in “Let It Happen”). I have to say I once wrote out a couple of chapters that threw into that (crazy) mix an issue, sexual fluidity, that seems highly relevant to people. Or maybe fluidity expressed in various ways — one chapter that was going into “Let It Happen” after they broke up, and another for “Love Soul Heaven Hell” after the chapter on cheating), that explored those issues in an interlocking way. The chapters were interesting, and took the storyline in unexpected directions, but they each didn’t fit into the flow of the books, so I ended up shelving them. I may pick up on them again, because I think the topic is… well, topical!
In the meantime, I hope Tom doesn’t turn you completely off the rest of the story. (Maybe you can give him a break … don’t we all have those male friends who we know we won’t end up dating but like playing with, anyway?) :-) hope you enjoy the rest of the ride.
ok, from the fishing shop Miller gets a box cutter to be detected by Green’s detector which gives him a feeling of being clever. She also gets 2 or 3 large plastic cable ties, makes great restraints, some plastic fishing line that can be wrapped around the neck, easy and a lot of praying! Excellent chapter. Keep going!!!! PLEASE.
I do not like all this charm
Tom play Bette, ok! He and his friend
only he does not bother to hide
Tina how much he deseha his wife.
Changing the subject I like the pace
