Shane stopped herself from calling for her fourth shot of coffee of the morning as she became aware that she was struggling to keep still in her chair. She had had her customary two cups before dropping Alice home after her run. They hadn’t talked for long this morning – both were distracted. Shane knew that Alice was going home to continue opening Dana’s package. A significant part of her nervous energy was on her friend’s behalf. Despite how well she seemed to be coping with this surprising discovery, Shane knew that Alice was precariously poised at a point where she could lose it completely. She found comfort in the fact that upsetting as it had been to read it, the letter that Dana had written to her, had ultimately been a gift from her friend that she was glad to have received. She hoped that Alice would feel the same way.
Now, having returned Alice safely to her apartment Shane found herself once again in the familiar surrounds of The Planet with an empty coffee cup before her. She glanced at her watch and noted that it was nine forty-five. Unless she suddenly changed her mind Carmen would be here in fifteen minutes. Shane figured she was probably working last night as it was only after she returned home from Bette’s and was getting ready for bed that the message had come through. Carmen had said that she had read Dana’s letter and thought a lot about things and felt that it would be good for them both to talk.
Shane’s initial reaction was to feel pleased to have this opportunity she had desired for so long. As she lay staring at the ceiling through the night though, she began to lose her nerve. She had rehearsed this conversation so many times in a variety of ways. The problem of course was that in her head she got to be in control of Carmen’s responses. This time it was going to be different. She knew Carmen well enough to know that hard truths would be spoken. Despite the significant growth she felt she had accomplished since Shay had come into her life, Shane was still acutely aware of her many failings as a person. As the hour drew near the urge inside her to bolt built. Shane hadn’t considered it appropriate to add to Alice’s worries this morning and so she had avoided telling her. Now though as she struggled to stay and wait for Carmen’s arrival she knew she needed the calming words of a friend.

great update.Ãœ i’ve been waiting patiently for this. glad to see that both shane and carmen have really grown. maybe its just not their time yet. pps. Ãœ
Great to have you back. I truly miss this story and what a delight it is to see this update. Good job with S & C. They deserved the time together sorting things out. I felt the same way about your interpretation of why S proposed. Your writing continues to amaze me. Can’t wait for more.
Okay you caught me, as evidenced the post above yours I couldn’t quit writing. I did try, but just like my addiction to Mountain Dew, I wasn’t strong enough to make it. Seriously though, your last chapter was one of the most beautiful, moving things I’ve ever read. And if you value my opinion for whatever strange reason, know this…on any given day I detest Sharmen, but this chapter has me rooting for them. You’re absolutely brilliant my dear.
I’ve been waiting for this update for quite some time, and I couldn’t be more intrigued=) I think this is what would happen if carmen stayed on the show. love it! PPS
Just tickled that shane and carmen finally talked! now still waiting for alice to finish and bette and tina’s.i hate waiting,lol…wonderful update!!
Well worth the wait, your insights are as usual brilliant. They should try working on being friends get a chance to learn and grow a bit together,cause really the real deal is just that. Their meant to be together (yes I’m very selfish lol)
great update i love it, god!! i miss sharmen so much, please, im going to die if you don’t update soon :P thks
YAY! You updated. I’m loving this story. Please continue whenever you have the chance… life and internet connections willing.
Thank you. I know it’s short, but thank you.
great update! i loved it.
Hey, wonderingaloud! I don’t think Alice will read the Lara letter — I think she would let Lara have that for herself. I don’t mind that this was not a Danish chapter — you write amazing stories and I love reading them. I love how much Shane has grown. This was a great chapter. Thank you so much! PPS!
first of all, I really missed this ff, second, I’m glad you’re back, third, HD and i were just talking about a call for Danish writers and then boom- here ya are! :D I love the way Shane opened up to Carmen, and that the both of them were being rational in their overdue confrontation. I loved reading this, I just wish we all could see this in the show. There’s been a number of issues/topics which weren’t given closure, I’m glad that in a way, I could find it here. So I thank you and all the Danish writers for giving that to us readers :) Thank you lots for posting. I reall, really missed this:D I was hoping one day I’d see this and now I am, ihihihi This is truly great. I’d be here for your next update as usual. :)
