“She’s busy.” Tina said gruffly, not looking at Ken.
“Busy?” He repeated, his tone incredulous. “I find that hard to believe.”
“And why?” Tina looked at her father sideways, still uncomfortable enough not to look his way – afraid that he’d see all the emotions that were flashing through her eyes at the mere thought of her absent girlfriend.
“Cause no matter how busy she is, when I ask her to come visit, she drops whatever she’s doing and goes here.” Ken said matter-of-fact, confident and sure.
Tina scoffed. “Daddy, you never ask her to come and visit. You ask me that. And it just happens that when I do, she always tags along.”
“Not really.” Ken shook his head, disagreeing. “There have been instances..”
“Instances?”
“Yes. Instances.” He nodded. Take for example.. “There was this one time a few months ago that she went fishing with me at Lake Arrowhead..”
“That’s a lie!” Tina exclaimed, interrupting. “Porter doesn’t even like fishing..” She huffed, rolling her eyes at the absurdity of her dad’s claim.
“She doesn’t like it, but it doesn’t mean that she didn’t go with me.” Ken countered, keeping a calm and diplomatic tone. “I even have the white bass she caught hanging in display in my office. She wanted to keep it but I asked for it, so she gave it to me. Man, it was a beauty!” He marveled to a still unbelieving Tina. Granted, Bette didn’t catch it with a fishing pole, but the mere fact that the fish got stuck in the girl’s small net when she accidentally fell in the lake still qualified as her catching it.
“Okay, let’s say she did go fishing with you,” Tina folded her arms petulantly, gaze firmly outside the window. “Then why didn’t she tell me anything about it?”
“Cause I told her not to.” Ken answered plainly. “I told her to tell you that her dad wanted to see her for some father-daughter time.”
“You did?”
“Mm-hmm.”
“Sooo.. let me get this straight, you told my girlfriend to lie to me so that she’d be able to spend some quality time with you cross country?” Tina asked, prompting Ken to clarify things. Great, she’d have to find out about this in a time when she was questioning Bette’s honesty. Perfect, just perfect.

My eyes bulge out of their sockets…WOW…54 pages. Wow, I can only bow in admiration. Thank you. On the story, both are having a hellion on the break time, man I am having a hellion on the break time and not even part of the story. I guess we havnet seen the last of the wannabe musician back. What happens next? ;)
thanks alch…another brilliant update and i actually took a bathroom break just like you said lol. i’m just afraid that since this is a long update it might take you longer to write the next? hope not, looking forward to it.
You made me so happy on a Monday morning! That was a hard feat for anybody else but you’vr done it! :) Onto the next chapter… Thanks!
Close to 15 and 3/4 LOL. That was a beauty of a car. I love toblerone! Now I must move on to the next post. Thanks alch.
wow..that was epic! But well worth the read…thank you for that ray of sunlight by way of Bette’s memory…and of course for the multitude of “..” this was a good one..
I did a little happy dance when I saw your post! I have to say the chapters were a little short…LMAO! Such a gut wrenching time for B & T. Beautifully written!
Great chapter!Now I think I’ll start loving Mondays:)Thank you for a fabulous update.:D
Thank you Alchy for such a wonderful and long read! You did a great job of weaving the scenes together. I love the Tina-Ken teasing, Bette – Sonja “recovery/addiction” moment, 3-step recovery for Tina, Sam/Bette’s conversation and the Tibette car. So very, very, very clever!!!! Ok…I sense that “Keith Arden” is somehow connected to a certain “Kate Arden.” Hm…looks like a black cloud on the Tibette reunion horizon. But…I cling to the hope that Ken’s almost secret sharing of perhaps an engagement is in the future. You know that small ray of hope is what is bringing your readers back!!!!! Get some rest Alchy…get your creative juices a break but come back real soon…we need our Alchy fix!
Wow that was great! Excuse me while I read the next part. I will say your bette is soooooo sweet
Your story always satisfies, Alchemy. You get some of everything in here, and it’s all fab. I loved this chapter. Here’s hoping that Tina can stick to #3 on her list, and I hope Bette can do the same. Great, great update, Alchemy. Thank you! :)
Brilliant chapter Alchemy – you always take such care with detail, emotion, characterization – amazing ;-) As someone said abt the previous chapter – one thing Bette still needs to learn is how to take Tina off that pedestal and treat her like an equal. Relationships mean sharing – both good things and bad – IMO that’s the biggest repair they need, the only truly important one. I loved seeing Tina & Ken again – what a great father daughter dynamic they have. I see Tina is still eating her pain, haha! The flashback was great and so was the bittersweet ending.
That was awesome, love seeing Ken and Tina together again.
