    A week after the Caswell-Massey trip, Melvin was driving his brand new Volvo. He had just purchased the milk chocolate-colored car the previous night. The car was packed tight—trunk full, a U-Haul carrier on the roof filled with books, and the backseat stacked with clothes—men’s shirts that Bette had custom-tailored for her and women’s trousers with deep pleats, cuffs, and a cut that made her long legs seem longer. Her jewelry boxes were on the backseat, too. She had a pair of diamond earrings and necklace from her father and several wooden, beaded bracelets, and funky earrings from her mom. Bette had left her Swatch watches with various colorful watchbands for every day and every mood back in Philadelphia. She had upgraded to a Movado museum watch that was cool, artsy, and what she considered high fashion and more adult. She liked the style.

    Bette and Melvin had shopped all summer for everything. She had toothbrushes, Clearasil, loofahs, contact lens solution and other toiletries in one box. Another box had school/office supplies—tape dispenser, stapler, paper clips, three-hole punch, an easily portable dictionary, notebooks, pens, stamps and envelopes. On the floor of the backseat was a box filled with $150.00 worth of products purchased from Caswell-Massey—almond cold cream soap and lotion, the 1902 Citrus cologne, and English Lavender.

    It was August 27, 1982 and this was the day that undergraduate housing was opening for new Yale students. Bette was happy for her father to drive. She was far too nervous to get behind the wheel. Being anal, she had read the freshman introductory handbook numerous times since the day it had arrived in the mail, yet she had it opened now, studying it intently. She read about her housing. Bette was thrilled that she had been placed in Morse Residential College. It seemed like the most artsy of the housing buildings with an awesome piece of sculpture—Claes Oldenburg’s Lipstick (Ascending) on Caterpillar Tracks at the entrance. Bette had already decided to major in Art History and she thought being placed in this residential housing would lead to intense, late night conversations over coffee about art and artists. Bette was so excited.

    1. Oh. My. God. That was freaking awesome, but WHO TOOK BABY A?!? Already, it seems like a hours ago that I was laughing at Al and Dane and the armpit licking, and Bette whooping as she left the retreat, and wondering what Carmen was gonna do after she ran out of beers to pour out, and hoping Henry didn’t yell once that EEG showed Tina’s been dodging the pills, and hoping that Steph didn’t get too crazy with the vengeance, and that Hels would hear some news about Dylan and that Peggy would help her daughter track Dylan down, and fanning myself over that call of Bette’s that didn’t quite make it to voicemail, and cheering on Al and Carmen’s rescue of Dana from that Aryan-esque creep-all freaking bloody AWESOME- because all I can think about now is that SOME NUTJOB-Steph? Josh? Marcus?-TOOK ANGELICA! For the love of all things, I so hope you’re posting soon, Portia. But still, this was so good I have to say it thrice, AWESOME! Thank you for the chapter. I literally cannot wait for the next chapter. Cheers

    2. Loved the quote: Gladwell who told a story that a friend of his told him: ‘to a worm in a jar of horseradish, the whole world is horseradish.’ … Glad you’re turning S3 & S4 horseradish into something far more palatable… ;-)

    3. This was beyond belief, every time you post you amaze me, your writing is without fault, exceptional, brilliant, outstanding. My head is swimming…I see the season being what it should have been, thankyou. I know you take a while between posts, obviously it takes time to write…but plspls if you could don’t leave us hanging too long…really it’s going to kill me to wait…but I will, every patiently…THANKYOU PORTIA

    4. Bette’s struggles at the Buddhist retreat, her desperate, heartbreaking attempts to communicate with Tina, that amazing “voicemail,” and all the other storylines are a tour de force, pure and simple. How totally cool to discover that you drew on Ossie Davis’s own words in your wonderfully rich portrayal of Melvin. Missing Baby A, needless to say, is a cliffhanger extraordinaire. A huge thanks for the effort you’ve put into this awesome story.

    6. What an absolutely brilliant story you continue to weave! I am awed that you are able to develop each character so fully. Loved, loved, loved your description of Bette lost in her memories of their reconnection during the ultrasound and subsequent afternoon delight. So sizzling hot while tender at the same time. Great read, Portia!

    8. what a chapter… there was so much… stephine is a nut case… henry is at times not all there either… and i’m glad tina is getting better… all those meds… damm… enough is enough… but now to the important part… WHO THE HELL TOOK ANGIE… i hope it was maybe alice or shane and they just turn around with her in their arms… it better not be josh… if it is… well he will be dead in the next chapter… PPS…

    9. First, I must say thank you for this extraordinary chapter. I’ve been home sick for three days and barely able to focus on anything but your 82 pages (damn, 82 pages!) kept me awake and reading. For some reason I had thought that you were finishing this story with this chapter (I don’t know why I thought that) so I was really excited to see that this wasn’t the end. I know how much time and effort it takes to write just two or three pages so I am truly impressed with this magnum opus!!

    10. I’m leaving a comment in advance as there’s no way I can read 82 pages right now. FUCKING AWESOME! I didn’t even have to read the chapter to know that. lol

    11. Wow!That was awesome! by far this is the longest psot I have ever reading! If your not thinking about a book please do so. You have some awesome talent!!! As for Baby, the suspects were set-up perfectly! Stephanie, Josh, Marcus. But you know I somepoint I had a feeling this would happen and for some reason I had Theresa as the perptrator! Can’t wait for the next chapter!

    12. Amazing, this chapter was just amazing the journeys you take us on in Bette’s memory are priceless. The advice her father gave her to the different expereinces between her parents have all been such amazing insight. Excellent. I just needed to tell you what an awesome job you’ve done. Thanks for writing it.

    13. i can’t wait for the next chapter either this story is the bomb i enjoy stories that includes most of the gang..the arm licking was funny, weird but i thought it was cute lol :) grrrrrrreat work you do danish so well!!!

    14. Fabulous! Please don’t let anything happen to Angelica, especially cuz her mama B is on her way home. I don’t know how either women could cope without her. Bring Dylan back for poor Helena. And tell Carmen to get that stick out of her butt :). Love, love, loved it! Can’t wait for more! Thanks Portia
