“I’ll never take it to that step, Carm. No matter how pissed off or drunk or high. I will never put my hands on you.” Shane shook her head in disbelief; shocked that Carmen would have that kind of reaction to her. “I just wanted you to know that I was interested in what you had to say and was giving you my full attention. Fuck it.”
Carmen stepped over to her and dropped to her knees. “I’m sorry, baby. It’s just that this-this is a strange thing we’re stepping into and it’s not like we can just turn around and say, ‘oh, well that didn’t work out like we planned.’ We can’t fuck up. We can’t do something without thinking. We’re in our twenties. What the hell would we be doing with a ten year old kid?”
“You don’t like Shay?”
“I don’t know him. You spent two or three hours with him. That’s it. You don’t know him, either. Yeah, I’ll give you—he’s cute, he seems smart, he’s nice, but maybe he’s got problems you don’t know about. Maybe he doesn’t. What we know is he ran away from home? He stole his father’s cell. He lies. He lied to get a train ticket. He thinks like a kid—he wanted to run away, but he didn’t think about how it might mess with your life.”
“He’s ten for Christ sake,” Shane said in his defense.
“Right. What else does a kid do? A boy? He lives here, gets into trouble, and we’re responsible. What if he hurts someone or himself? Can you put him on your insurance at Wax? You’re not his legal guardian, so probably not. All I want you to do is think about what you’re doing.”
“If Carla and Dad aren’t taking care of him, which obviously they’re not, then. . .”
“Shane, it’s crazy. He can’t stay with us. I mean, he should stay until we can get him back to Oregon, but that needs to happen in the next couple of days. I think you should go to Travelocity or Expedia and book tickets back up there. Round trip for you and one-way for him.”
“I don’t know.”

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
