“I don’t think I’m ready for this.” Shane looked at herself in the mirror.

Carmen sighed and walked into the bathroom. “I got to do this for me. Please I beg you.”

Shane dropped her head and then looked at Carmen. “Do I really need to meet Olivia?”

“Yes, she wouldn’t keep bugging me about it. I had to tell her yes. It’s only this one thing you’ll have to do for me.”

Shane nodded her head. “AlrightI’ll do this for you.”

Carmen smiled softly and wrapped her arms around Shane. “Babe, what would I do without you?”

“Lose your mind.”

Carmen laughed and kissed Shane softly. “I love you.”

“I love you.” Shane wrapped her arms around Carmen and held her tight.

“Alright babe, we got a schedule to keep. So hurry up, I don’t want to be late.”

“Alright.” They let go of each other, and Shane made a few minutes fixes.

            Carmen and Shane pulled up in front of Chi’s and parked. Shane looked up at the restaurant and looked away.

“I can’t do this. I can’t go in there.”

Carmen turned off the Jeep and looked at Shane. “Babe, you can’t back out now. We’re already here. I can’t do this to Olivia.”

Shane sighed. “What if she judges me?”

Carmen grabbed a hold of Shane’s hand. “Shane, she won’t do that. She’s a very sweet woman. Trust me, she wouldn’t do that.” She kissed her hand and rubbed it.

Shane took a deep breath. “Ok, lets go.” Carmen smiled and got out of the car. Shane got out and fixed her shirt. Carmen grabbed a hold of Shane’s hand and walked in. they stood by the podium, and Carmen looked around. She saw Olivia waving her hand and smiled softly. They walked towards the middle and found Olivia sitting at a booth.

Olivia stood up and smiled. “It’s good to see you again Carmen,” she wrapped her arms around her and held her close.

Carmen laughed softly. “It’s good to see you.”

Olivia let go of her and eyed her. “You looked incredible.” Shane looked at Olivia coldly and then looked at Carmen.
