“I am because you’re here now.” Carmen said.

“Ok, well I guess I better take off then.” I looked at Carmen, I didn’t want to leave, but I didn’t know what else to say or do.

“Um, ok.”

“Well, I’ll talk to you.”

“Wait…I don’t want you to go.”

“Wait…I don’t want you to go.” It was true; I didn’t want Shane to leave.

“Ok.” Was all Shane said.

“Well, I have to go to work in a little while. Why don’t we go get something to eat before I go in?”

“You’re still working?” Shane asked with a concerned voice. I laughed a little.

“Yeah, Kit still lets me DJ but only three nights a week. I usually have a stool to sit on, so I stay off of my feet.”

“Are you sure you should be doing that?”

“Yea, it’s ok. I have a couple of more weeks before I need to get worried about not working anymore.”

“Oh.”

“Ok, so want to go to the Planet to get something to eat?”

“Uh, sure.”

“Ok, do you mind if I drive with you? I mean that would mean you would have to drop me back off afterwards so I can get my car, or you can just hang out at the Planet and take me home after work?”

“Yea, I’ll just hang out there, and I’ll take you home after you’re done work.” I knew exactly what she was doing.

“You don’t have to stay to watch me. I’ll be fine.”

“I know, but I’ll probably be there anyway.”

“Ok, let’s go.”

“Something is definitely not right.”

“Al, calm down.” Dana said.

“I mean come on, Dane! Cole comes here ranting about Carmen. Shane shows up, gets knocked out by Cole, and then tears out of here? I know Shane still loves Carmen and always will, but something must have gone down today.”

“Al, we’re going to wait until Shane comes to us. She finally started to get back to herself, well what’s left of her after everything that happened between the non-wedding and now. We don’t want to push her.”
