Henry had wanted to thank Helena for graciously opening her home, but Helena was, according to Nu-Nu engaged elsewhere. Instead, he had said his goodbyes and reminded Tina to have lunch and to follow through with all of her usual Center activities as much as possible. Nu-Nu took Henry’s order to heart and rushed to the kitchen to prepare lunch for Tina.
_ _ _ _ _
Nu-Nu walked out of the kitchen and into the living room. “Miss Kennard, your lunch is ready. I made egg salad sandwich and small plate with baby carrots, sliced nectarine,” She said as she wiped her hands on her apron.
Tina smiled at her. “You remembuh-bered what I like,” she said.
“Oh, yes. I never make before. I find recipe for egg salad. I tried three, then find the best one I make for you. You know, the children love it now, too. They always say, ‘Nu-Nu, can we have Tina Egg Salad Sandwich?’”
Tina grinned. There had been many pleasant things about being with Helena for those few months. The best part might have been Helena’s kids. They were a delight. “It is the best egg salad Ah’ve ever had, Nu-Nu.”
“Would you like eat it in kitchen, on deck, or in room?”
“Ah think Ah’ll take it to the deck.”
Tina started for the kitchen, but Nu-Nu put her hand up. “Give me one moment, Miss Kennard and I bring tray out to you.”
“Nothing’s changed. Please call me Tina.”
“I feel better calling you Miss Kennard.” Nu-Nu made the statement as if she were asking permission.
Tina nodded.
“Then I’ll be right out. Iced tea?”
“Yes, thank you, Nu-Nu.” Tina winked at her and followed Helena’s nanny/personal assistant to the kitchen.
Nu-Nu placed the royal blue and white plate on a bamboo tray and meticulously arranged a cloth napkin and flatware beside it. Tina smiled again, noting that Nu-Nu also remembered that Tina had openly admired the Lenox Jewels Sapphire china pattern when she and Helena were together. Helena had a large collection of china and this was by far Tina’s favorite. She supposed that’s why Nu-Nu stayed in Helena’s employ even when the children were back in New York. The woman was an anticipator with a wealth of knowledge about Helena and her world.

I don’t think I can wait til Monday…….pls pls tell me tina will be ok…What is it w/you writers and your cliff hangers….omg, there goes my weekend…..
Oh, the wait for each chapter is torture, but such bliss when a new chapter arrives. Love this so much that I am very impatient for the next installment. Thanks so much.
Yes, you posted! Love you so much. Shane and Carmen are so caliente together, love their energy as a couple. I hope that Shay will not put a damper on their sex life because the way you write it is mindblowing. HOT, HOT. HOT.Looking forward to Moday!
First-rate prose, rich characters, compelling storylines, and awesome cliffhangers. What more could a reader want? Thanks for posting! Counting the hours till Monday . . .
Fabulous as ever, Portia. Marcus needs to back off. Bette is so not going to like this when she comes back home. And she needs to pick up her voicemail, soon. Carmen… I dunno. A little support for Shane would be good, but she has a point. She’s laid it all out there, at least, so Shane can’t say she din’t see it coming if Carmen is less than enthusiastic when Shay gets to LA. I’m so stoked you posted, can’t wait for Monday. Thanks!
“Safer? Tina, tell me what’s goin’ on?”… Yes, we all want hear it, and to get the scoop on part 25B! ;-) Thank you again, Portia – amazing.
“”Mister Allenwood’s termination of parental rights is in order” …I don’t believe I’ve read sweeter words today! You capture the original voices of all the characters so faithfully and expand upon them, making them so much more lush and full-bodied. I would imagine that it would please the actresses greatly to read what you have done with the paltry characterizations that they have labored so mightily to give life to. You are their ally, you give the characters soul. I hope they can know that somewhere, justice is being done to the original concept. Really, I can’t thank you enough for this fully-realized work. It’s a shame you aren’t the one doing the scripts for the series. But, it would be so out of the spirit of what you do to be negative, I rejoice in your wonderful work!
This is such a great story. I go through long periods where I keep a book mark on the current page. I’ve been running through them lately and Iam psyched I have another chapter to go, and from your author notes, a long one…my favorite! Anyway, thank you so much for your time and devotion to the story. I, by the way, love the t/b storyline and as far as I am concerned, you can’t have too much of them.
nice job loved the danish conversation!!!! more danish:)
Brillant…can’t wait til Monday :)
Hey Portia, Am grinning from ear to ear at your mention. Sweet! Now I really need go read your wonderful words. I adore the fact that this is only 1/4 of what you have written and is still 23 pages long. Heaven on earth as i sit down to read your magnificent melodrama. Be back later with my thoughts. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Thanks so much for this story. I found it late and kept reading and reading to catch up. I’ll be sorry to see it end but can see how much work has gone into it. So many story lines and characters to follow. Thanks again! Lin
