    Author Notes:

    We’re not the first to fall so far.

    Tina felt warm. Warm and comfortable.

    She did not know if she felt this way because of the temperature in her brother’s home, the tea she was drinking, or if it was because of Bette Porter’s proximity and the fact that Bette was holding onto her hand.

    The last, Tina decided. Definitely the Bette Porter factor.

    She glanced at Bette, who was telling the story of how they’d met.

    "…I’ve pretty much planned out our first date, mind you, all before we were even introduced," Bette continued, answering the gentle squeeze Tina gave their entwined hands.

    Karen turned to her husband. "See? This is romantic. You should ask your sister-in-law on tips."

    "She studied Art History. Your husband studied Sociology. Clearly…" Paul let his voice trail off, as Karen had already turned back to Bette.

    Ned pat his brother’s shoulder. "Tough luck."

    Paul glared at him.

    "And then of course Mr. Annoying–"

    "Eric." Tina corrected.

    Bette turned to her. "In my narrative, his name is Mr. Annoying."

    "Ah," Tina nodded. "This might be why we never hear it from you."

    "So Mr. Annoying," Bette said pointedly, "calls me over, asking some more of his inane questions…"

    "Be nice," Tina admonished.

    "T, clearly the man had no idea you’d be easily swayed by someone else." Bette pointed out. "And you’re interrupting my narration."

    Tina shook her head, and turned back to the plate of pastries.

    "So did you learn to operate with one hand before, or after your hands were surgically attached?" Ned asked his sister.

    Tina pointed at Bette. "Would you let this hot drink of water go?"

    Paul and Ned glanced at each other.

    "Didn’t think so," Tina retorted, picking up a butterscotch brownie.

    "Are you all done interrupting?" Karen asked. "I’m listening here."

    When nobody spoke, Bette continued. "And he introduces me to his girlfriend, Head of Development in Alphaville, something something or another. And then she spoke." She glanced at Tina, who lifted an eyebrow in her direction. Bette turned to Karen, although she could feel Tina’s gaze still on her. "You see, I wasn’t really looking for a relationship at that time. I’d just broken up with a girlfriend, and the last thing I wanted was initiating a straight girl– ow!"

    3. I love how they use the cloak of pretending to be a couple to it’s full advantage: flirting away, holding hands… sharing looks and thoughts they can’t when their alone. Yum. Ned must be amused.

    6. Tiff, what is there left to say about your writing? It seems like you do it with such ease, but I know it takes a lot of talent to have a story come out like this. I guess we’ll have to wait to see what there game plan will be, but for the life of me I don’t know how they will plan something like that. PPS?

    9. Tiff, I wouldn’t miss your stories for the world. Totaly. Thank you for sharing. And The Bette Porter Phenomenon reference…I so miss Giasony. Hope you reference will trigger Giasony to remember us. Thanks again, you are awesome. PPS

    10. I love this Kennard family time. You actually get to see Tina’s family and understand that not all her family disowned her and if they did they have welcomed her back. Now for the real battle, the mom and older sister.

    12. i guess I am first today…you know I can’t get enough of this story…and get worried when two days go by with no post…LOL I know its silly anyway so what the game plan for dealing with Cathhy and Mother Kennard??

    14. While Karen and BrwnSuga would love to hear more of how Bette seduced Tina, the real battle plan is the survival of the Kennard dinner with Cat and Momma K. I cannot wait for the next update.

    15. Battle plan? I hope what ensues at the family dinner doesn’t descend into all-out war. Maybe Bette can just launch a charm offensive and win Clarissa and Cathy over, no fights needed. The Bette Porter Phenomenon has worked on at least one Kennard already, yeah? Wishful thinking, maybe. If they can melt Cathy, just a little, it’d be a big step. And I liked the detail about Tina not wanting to meet Eleanor and Mary-Anne unless Cathy did the introducing. Hopefully, that’s one of the things that will happen after it’s all said and done. Great chapter, as always, tiff. Thanks :)

    17. i really really like this story, an understatement!!!! im sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to hear the rest of the story also. this is delish. thx

    19. First time ever for a comment. I’m a prize lurker on the site, but I had to tell you that I love this story and the layers you portray of all the family dynamics.

    20. Wonderful chapter. I love it when authors can write. The only disconcerting item is the K-Y Jelly Satisfaction Lab advert that’s on every page of the chapter. Gets one thinking. :-)

    23. Tiff, reading your work, is like eating a gourmet entree. Full of great flavours that make one smile and go, “hmmm…yum!” Today’s chapter had some good reminising lines…Blondie McHottie, Bette Phenomenon, etc (love the kick under the table. Hah!) Made me feel warm and fuzzy. I always wondered how Bette came up with the idea of kissing Tina when she turned up at her office for the earing. Was it spontaneous (doubt it) or well executed Porter style plan (risk taking). Please…tell the seduction story. Then, we’ll be ready for the dinner plans. K?You ROCK!

    25. Favorite bits: “So did you learn to operate with one hand before, or after your hands were surgically attached?” “Would you let this hot drink of water go?” Love it…love the warm and comfortable! PPS!

    29. ha ha, Tiff… Blondie McHottie… good times!! Loved Bette’s retelling of their story and Tina’s reaction to it. Don’t imagine the good vibes will continue at the pending dinner…

    30. I loved this chapter soooooooooo much. The others too (don’t get mewrong) but this one because Bette and Tina are working on getting back together. I loved the part where Bette was telling their story, Bette brothers could see that Bette loves Tina and she is not a heart breaker. After all if Tina is happy that is it. PPVS
