Time Heals All Wounds, Ch. 3
Shane watched Tina finally rise unsteadily to her feet and hobble away. After a short pause, Shane made her own way over to Jenny’s grave. She began her usual ritual, first setting aside the now-dead flowers she laid there two weeks ago and then pulling a tissue from her pocket to dust off any dirt smudges or anything else that might be marring Jenny’s tombstone. Then she sat, Indian-style, in front of the stone and set the fresh flowers in front of her. Noticing Tina’s drying tearstains on the front of the stone, Shane sighed and wiped them off with her fingers and then rubbed her hand on her jeans. Clearing her throat, she began to speak. “So, Jenny, I got quite the surprise recently, as you must know. What in the world made you decide to choose me as your beneficiary? I don’t know what to do with the money, Jen. I feel so guilty when I just think about taking it. I don’t deserve it.” She stared at the ground a moment, her hair hanging in her eyes as she pulled a blade of grass out of the earth and began tearing it into pieces. “Everybody’s a mess, you know. Dana and Alice are engaged. Can you believe it? I’m happy for them, but they’ve got some issues to work out before they decide to get married. Bette’s doing okay, I think. I dunno, she can be a tough one to read. She still can’t find a job and right now I think she’s kinda just skating along and pretending everything’s all right. Poor Tina’s just a mess. Mark’s almost as bad. I haven’t spoke to him in weeks. He moved in with one of his sisters and I don’t think he’s really talking to anybody right now.” Shane leaned back on her elbows. “I heard from Tim. He seems to be doing pretty good. He misses you, too. We all do, Jenny.” She fell silent a moment before continuing. “Kit seems to be about the only one of us who’s got her head on straight right now, except she’s stuck practically taking care of Bette, Tina, and Angelica. And guess what? Carmen and I are going to buy a house. Hard to imagine, huh? Let’s seewhat else is going on? Well, Helena is still in a coma. Her poor mother is too guilt-stricken about how they got along to take her off life-support. I guess she wants to hold on and hope she’ll wake up one day and get a second chance to make it right between them.”

Thanks for another great update, FF. The scene that Shane talked to Jenny at her tomb touched me. I think that Al/Dane and Shane/Carmen are just so wonderful matches even though I got some hints of their breaking-up. Let Tina get out of the guilty.
I hope that Shane will throw the number away!
great update!!
Evertone is feeling guilty. Tina is depressed she does need help. but Bette and Angies needs her also. Lets get this all straighten out . Let Shane help Bette get her own gallery started. thanks
This is crazy and they all need help!
Alright, you posted! Problems, what problems? This was a fantastic chapter yet again, I’m totaly hung up on Danish and Shane’s stories. I’ve always love the friendship between Shane and Jenny and I’m really enjoying what you’re doing with them eventhough Jenny is dead.
I hate to say this but I think Bette should wheel Tina over to wherever Dan Foxworthy lives and let her stay with him awhile. Maybe he can snap her out of her depression.
I hope that they all sort out there problems soon and that shane will stay wilth carmen they are so good together and they same goes for alice and dana they need to sit down and talk big time please post soon i love it
