Jenny exhaled and closed her eyes.

Later that day
For some reason, Helena couldn’t stay away from these types. In boarding school, she and her friends had traveled to the city to party and there was always a fun visit to a psychic. That is, her friends took it as fun; for Helena psychic advice helped her make life-altering decisions. In London and New York, she had tarot card readers on call and both women were paid a monthly salary from her. Since landing in Los Angeles, she had searched for someone who could tell her what her future held in store. This day, Helena had been driving down Hollywood Boulevard when a storefront sign caught her eye. She pulled over. Now she sat in the waiting room casually flipping through a magazine. She was surprised when a young man dressed in Levi’s, a white Polo shirt, and tire tread, brown sandals entered the room and looked at her.
“Are you here for a palm reading?”
“Yes, is it a long wait?”
“No, I’m ready for you right now. Come with me.”
“You’re doing the reading?”
“I have a gift. Don’t puzzle over my age or gender. I’m good and I’m always right.” He turned and Helena followed him. He pulled back a colorful Moroccan-style curtain that was a room divider. The room he entered was quite small with just a table and two chairs.
“So how long have you been doing this?”
“For about twenty-five years.”
Helena laughed nervously. “You look twenty-five.”
“No, I’m twenty-eight. Give me your hand.” He grasped her hand, turned it palm up and stared at the lines rubbing a finger over it gently. “Well, I won’t tell you that you’re filthy rich because I’m sure you know that already.”
“How?”
“I saw your Benz when you pulled up and you smell splendid. I’ve only smelled knock-offs, but my guess is you’re wearing Jean Patou’s Joy. That’ll set you back.”
“Yes, it is Joy.”
“Nice. Okay. Let’s get your $25.00 reading out of the way. Ready?”
Helena liked this guy. He wasn’t pretentious and he seemed honest—as honest as those in this business could be. Helena had run into a few grifters and scam artists in her day, so she knew the signs. “Yeah, I’m ready.”

Just got caught up with your stsory today and it is very interesting. After reading what Amanda and B&TForever said, do you really mean there were spoilers about Tina being in a coma for all of S3, if so, that would explain a lot. Oh God, I hope that is true, maybe S4 will be about getting us back to the real loving couple. What a thrill. thanks for the post.
Please have Tina wake up and the entire 3rd season would have been a dream for all of the characters. Great story but Tina in a coma is scaring the hell out of me. Too close to the real thing for me. Please, Please let her wake up to a loving Bette.
I ran my mouse over the ‘next post by this author’ link, desperately hoping for another chapter. I love the length and denseness of your chapters. I wonder if writing them is as pleasurable as it is to read them. Does Bette ever put Angelica in Tina’s arms? I’m sure they both need the bond of touch. Thanks!
By the by, does anyone else think that Tony Soprano’s coma was an ill-advised choice? I wonder if The Sopranos has jumped the shark with that one. It better pick up or HBO will be going the way of SHO in my household – kaput! Anyone?
OMG! Your story is great, I just started chap. one today been reading the rest straight through. Alice walking in Shane’s room & seeing the handprint on Carmen’s ass was hilarious. Keep up the great work.
Sharmen is sexy. I laughed out loud when Alice saw the handprint on Carmen’s ass. too funny.
I really like your writting, but I would prefer Tina to wake up or atleast give some reaction to Bette. This must be devestating for Bette. I love Tina and Bette, and i hated what happened in season 3, but they are still my favourite. Make it all better, please!
i love this… i have said tina is in a coma… but please don’t let her stay there too long… oh and i love alice… i could just see her walking into a room… ok stop fucking… and then just sit on the bed… too funny…please continue
I understand your attempt to make since of IC’s debakle of S3, but PLEASE let Tina wake up soon. She will have a long journey as it is.
Love the way you write Sharmen, that’s one hella sexy scene! I can really picture Shane and Carmen behaving that way. HOT! Please keep it up:)
Hey great story. That´s the first chapter I´ve read of your sory and I really like it. Especially the Sharmen parts!Please go on sooon!
Your sharmen are frisky bunnies…, oh boohoo, did I say I was sorry to see jenny catch a plane?? sorry, but pls don’t bring a max into this bunch…One happy couple on the road to having more happy couples..right??? WAKE UP TINA!!!Tks Portia, love this season your creating!!!!
Portia…This is really well written. Lots of detail and description, good dialogue and the comments and tone are spot on for each character. Keep going.
i guess you’re going with the rumors that season 3 was all dreamed up by tina who was in coma…i like it…eventhough i would like her to wake up soon
This is wonderfully written. Thank you!
