A bird cawed loudly overhead, and Shane paused to watch it swoop past and into a nearby tree. “That’s the thing about life. All you can do is hope. And wait for a second chance. But sometimes you don’t get that second chance. And what happens when you run out of hope?” She stared at the silent tombstone a moment. “I just don’t know what to do, Jenny. I lost everything in the earthquake. Everything I owned was lost in the fire, but that was all materialistic stuff. I lost one of my best friends, and I can’t just go to the store and replace that. And I still have Carmen, but for how much longer? How long until I lose her, too?”
Sighing once more, Shane stood. “Thanks for listening, Jenny. I hope you’re doing okay up there, and that you don’t laugh too hard when you look down and see us ***** up. I miss you.” She leaned down and kissed the small picture of Jenny adorning the stone before turning to leave.
As Shane got into her Jeep, she noticed the bird from Jenny’s grave had followed her and sat perched on one of the tombstones beside her vehicle, watching her. Smiling to herself, Shane put the car into gear.
The next morning, Dana walked through the living room, intending to get a cup of coffee. She stopped and did a double take, walking backwards and peering curiously into the living room. No, her eyes were not playing tricks on her, after all. “Alice? What are you doing up so early? Its only” she squinted at the clock in the kitchen. “Seven o’clock.”
Alice, curled up on the couch in her pajamas and intently studying a piece of paper, glanced up briefly. “I’ve got some stuff I want to do.”
Dana’s forehead wrinkled. “Yeah, but Al, it’s only seven in the morning. You usually like to sleep a lot later when you don’t have plans.” Maybe she has a fever. I don’t know what else would explain her getting up so early.
Shifting positions, Alice pushed her glasses up as they slid down her nose. “I’ve just got things to do, Al. Jeez, it’s not a big deal.”

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
