“Shane Hi, what can I do for you?”
“I’m sorry to ring you at work Bette, can you talk for a minute?”
“It’s fine it’s no problem Shane I’m just in my office doing some paper-work, what’s going on?”
“She wants to meet me”
“Oh, well that’s a good thing right? Isn’t that what you wanted?”
“In theory – yes, in practice – I’m not so sure. I don’t know if I can face her. Maybe I should call her and cancel.”
“Oh you’re meeting her today?”
“Yeah she’s meeting me here at The Planet in fifteen minutes but I don’t think I can stay.”
“Ok Shane calm down. Think about this, firstly you wouldn’t have rung me if you didn’t want me to talk you into staying. You could have gotten up and walked out of there five minutes ago and nobody but you would ever have known. That’s good, that’s progress, even though you still have the urge to run you know that you need to stay and face this. Let’s be realistic here too, this is a one time deal. There is no way if you get up and walk away and cancel on her that Carmen is ever going to find it in herself to give you another chance to talk to her and nor should she. Do you really want to blow that one chance?”
“No, I want to talk to her I do, it’s just fuck I’m not sure if I can bear hearing how much I hurt her.”
“Look Shane, nobody said this was going to be easy. If it was then it wouldn’t mean so much, you wouldn’t have thought about having to do it for so long. As painful as it might get in the long run you’ll be glad you did it.”
“You’re right, Thanks Bette, it’s been so good to have someone to talk all this through with these last few days.”
“All I did was remind you of what you already know my friend. You’re right though it has been good to talk these last few days. I wonder if Dana realised how much of an impact her box would have on all our lives?”
“Shit Bette sorry I have to go, I see her coming. I’ll talk to you later.”

great update.Ü 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. Ü
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. :)
