Shane swallowed. She knew she had been referred to in just that way many, many times in her past when she worked the streets and could stroke a man to his fulfillment. “No, his daughter,” she said lightly even though her heart was heavy.
“Humph.”
“I’m not from around there. I live in LA. That’s where I am now. . .in Los Angeles. I was wondering if you could go over to his place and tell him to get in contact with me right away. I-I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t really important.”
“I’m not outta here for another half hour. Can it wait?”
Boldly, Shane said, “Do you promise to do it?”
“Oh. . .Good. . .God. Are you askin’ me to do you a favor, cause that’s what I thought? Or are ya tellin’ me what to do? Listen, baby, if I wanted that kind of ‘tude, I’d a stayed with my ex.”
“It’s a huge favor, sir. Huge.”
“Yeah, okay. I’ll go over there around 4:30, 4:45. All right?”
“I appreciate it. I really do. Please tell him to get in touch with me right away. Right away. Thank you so much. . .” She paused, waiting for him to give his name.
“Joe.”
“Thanks, Joe.”
“Yeah, whatever.” He was just about to hang up when Shane stopped him.
“Wait. Let me give you my number.”
“You’re his kid and he doesn’t have your phone number?” He didn’t really believe her now.
“I think he hasn’t memorized it. He’s got it in his cell, but I don’t think he has his phone with him. Here it is. Ready.”
“Yeah, go ahead. Waiting for it with bait breath.”
Shane paused and smiled at what he had said, wondering if he was joking or that’s what he thought the saying was. “All right.” She gave him the number and Joe hung up.
Shane disconnected. “Okay, this guy named Joe at the Biscuit Café is going to go over there and tell him to call me.”
“Do you think he will?”
Shane shrugged. “I hope so.”
Carmen saved the St. Linus homepage in her bookmarks and closed her laptop. She came into the kitchen. “We’ve gotta think about what we should do when Shay gets here. I mean, what if you can’t get a hold of your Dad. You’ve got to work. I’ve got to work.”

I don’t think I can wait til Monday…….pls pls tell me tina will be ok…What is it w/you writers and your cliff hangers….omg, there goes my weekend…..
Oh, the wait for each chapter is torture, but such bliss when a new chapter arrives. Love this so much that I am very impatient for the next installment. Thanks so much.
Yes, you posted! Love you so much. Shane and Carmen are so caliente together, love their energy as a couple. I hope that Shay will not put a damper on their sex life because the way you write it is mindblowing. HOT, HOT. HOT.Looking forward to Moday!
First-rate prose, rich characters, compelling storylines, and awesome cliffhangers. What more could a reader want? Thanks for posting! Counting the hours till Monday . . .
Fabulous as ever, Portia. Marcus needs to back off. Bette is so not going to like this when she comes back home. And she needs to pick up her voicemail, soon. Carmen… I dunno. A little support for Shane would be good, but she has a point. She’s laid it all out there, at least, so Shane can’t say she din’t see it coming if Carmen is less than enthusiastic when Shay gets to LA. I’m so stoked you posted, can’t wait for Monday. Thanks!
“Safer? Tina, tell me what’s goin’ on?”… Yes, we all want hear it, and to get the scoop on part 25B! ;-) Thank you again, Portia – amazing.
“”Mister Allenwood’s termination of parental rights is in order” …I don’t believe I’ve read sweeter words today! You capture the original voices of all the characters so faithfully and expand upon them, making them so much more lush and full-bodied. I would imagine that it would please the actresses greatly to read what you have done with the paltry characterizations that they have labored so mightily to give life to. You are their ally, you give the characters soul. I hope they can know that somewhere, justice is being done to the original concept. Really, I can’t thank you enough for this fully-realized work. It’s a shame you aren’t the one doing the scripts for the series. But, it would be so out of the spirit of what you do to be negative, I rejoice in your wonderful work!
This is such a great story. I go through long periods where I keep a book mark on the current page. I’ve been running through them lately and Iam psyched I have another chapter to go, and from your author notes, a long one…my favorite! Anyway, thank you so much for your time and devotion to the story. I, by the way, love the t/b storyline and as far as I am concerned, you can’t have too much of them.
nice job loved the danish conversation!!!! more danish:)
Brillant…can’t wait til Monday :)
Hey Portia, Am grinning from ear to ear at your mention. Sweet! Now I really need go read your wonderful words. I adore the fact that this is only 1/4 of what you have written and is still 23 pages long. Heaven on earth as i sit down to read your magnificent melodrama. Be back later with my thoughts. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Thanks so much for this story. I found it late and kept reading and reading to catch up. I’ll be sorry to see it end but can see how much work has gone into it. So many story lines and characters to follow. Thanks again! Lin
