“Which is why she called me because she thinks that you and I need to get some of those answers for ourselves.”
“I guess so.” I say, slightly humbled by what Tina has done for me, considering what I said to her yesterday.
“I forgave you a long time ago.” says Carmen, quietly.
“I knew that you would forgive me before I forgave myself.”
“Do you regret it? Do you ever wonder what we could have had?”
“Yes.” I say, quietly.
“So do I.”
“What do think we regret most, the things that we did that were wrong, or all the things that we never got the chance to do?”
“In this case it’s the thing that I never got to do. The chance to build something special with you, I wanted that more than anything….”
“And I took away that chance.”
“Maybe it wasn’t the right time.” smiles Carmen, weakly, but I don’t think that she believes that.
“Alice is here as well.”
“Her and Bette?”
“Better, much better actually. They’ve been spending a lot of time together. Trying to make it up to each other.”
“Have you been playing peacemaker?”
“I’ve been trying, but believe me it’s easier with Bette and Alice than it is with Bette and Tina.”
“I can imagine. Any chance for the two of them?”
“I don’t know. I’m not expecting a miracle. I just want them to talk, get it all out in the open so that everyone can move on. So that Tina can come here to visit and so that Bette can…be happy.”
“Or they could get back together, because that’s what you really want, isn’t it?”
“I want them both to be happy.”
“And you don’t think that they can be happy apart?”
“I didn’t say that.”
“You didn’t have to. It’s written all over your face.”
“I spent years trying to stop people from really knowing what I was thinking and then you came along and I just wanted to tell you everything, and then I realised that I didn’t need to do that because you already understood most of what I wanted to say.”
“That’s because I was the one that loved you.”
“I know, and I was stupid to throw that away.”
“But I’m here now.” says Carmen, in a way that means she’s telling me so much more that what her words are actually saying.
With that there seems to be an understanding that even though we’ll both never be able to go back to that place and that time and put all the wrong things right sometimes in life you might just get a second chance, if you work hard enough, and get lucky enough.
“Are you seeing anyone?” I ask, a small flame of hope igniting.
“No, but you’ll have to try harder than that.” replies Carmen, laughing.

Am I the first? Haven’t read it yet, but I am sure it will be great as always.
Very interesting – maybe Carmen and Shane can find resolution even if Tina and Bette can’t – although I am hoping they do just like Shane. Great chapter.
beautiful talk between shane and carmen. Hope they work it out
wow this talk between shane and carmen was great!
Argh, so good it hurts! Can’t wait for more!
Excellent dialogue. Very substantial chapter. Now on to B & T.
loved the talk between Shane and Carmen. Now i hope that Shane get that second chance and fight to have Carmen back and be happy.
I hope that Bette and Tina can also make it up!!!
great dialogue! can B&T have such mature and meaningful conversation? going by your past stories, your characters are all mature.. waiting to read when B/T meet.. assuming it’s gonna happen.
cool, so maybe there’s hope for all of them, carmen and shane, bette and tina, and even alice
OK..now we need B & T to talk and get their crap together. thanks for the chapter and can’t wait for the next.
yay, bring on the double wedding but not in Whistler, i mean B and T, S and C…they all belong together; and find a love for Alice soon..she so needs someone to love her forever….
Not a Sharmen fan but this was a pretty good chapter. If only Bette and Tina can talk like this instead of having a yelling match. That is, if they actually get to talk.
Okay I have made a final decision and I just don’t want to Tibette reunion. I am more interested in the Sharmen thing. Waiting patiently to hear this heavy duty conversation with Tina and Bette. Post soon!
Perfect! Somehow, I don’t think that if there’s a conversation between Bette and Tina that it will so as smoothly as this!
I hope Bette and Tina talk and I hope they get back together. Is that asking for too much?
another wonderful chapter! i can’t wait to read more! please post asap! =)
Well, maybe this the right time for everyone, Shane and Carmen and Bette and Tina. Maybe they all can get back to the ones they truly love. That would be wonderful. here’s hoping.
So happy to see at least one of the couples have been given a second shot of working their feelings out. I know that this is your story, but I really do miss Bette and Tina being together. They at least need to talk. But it looks like neither of them are ready and both will never have the closure that is needed to really move forward. Oh well thats fucking life.
Hey CG75, I liked this chapter a lot. Having Carmen and Shane finally talk things out was wonderful. Great to see that there is still hope there for a new and improved relationship. Carmen really gets Shane and now realizes why it did work in the past but maybe now a little older and wiser things can blossom as they should have. The insightful moments for how Shane feels about the rest of the gang was perfect. I wanna see how much harder Shane has to work to get Carmen. Can’t wait so pls post soon. Thank you so much. You Loyal (if lurking) Fan.
Wow, great dialogue! Will Tina and Bette get to talk before Tina leaves … hope so…
