Nearly two months has gone by and tonight is the night, the opening night of Shane McCutcheon’s seventh store, located in down town Los Angeles. There will be dozens of paparazzi and photographers, Hollywood starlets, A-list celebrities, overseas players, socialites, power dykes, big – shot corporate leaders, fashion people, magazines reviewers, and TV reporters. Something is Shane used to, socializing… its part of her job.

Shane has been keeping her self busy with the shop almost going in there every day to see how it’s progressing, hanging out with Alice and their friends, did several styling for the LA fashion conscious people, Shane and Ed also has been occupied with the apartment… well it’s mostly Ed, but it is Shane’s apartment so she just had to make sure there’s no leopard prints sofas and bright pink colored wallpapers.

Shane and Alice have been going strong but Alice is still waiting for her to open up. It’s on her mind every time there are together, but she tried to push it to the back off her mind, knowing that Shane somehow will tell her and she just have to be patient about it. Shane is happy where the relationship is going with Alice, both of them haven’t said those three word yet, but already knows that they do. They would talk on the phone until the morning sun rises, talk about things that lovers do. Ed would notice if Shane is daydreaming about Alice if she had goofy grin on her face all day and how she would say what a beautiful day it is, and same goes with Alice, Dana and Jenny would just rolled their eyes if Alice is starts talking about Shane, and their friends are happy with the both of them.

Shane thought about Carmen a couple of times since that night at Helena’s, just hoping that she’s getting well with her health and hoping she’ll get back on her feet in the fashion world, no more than that.

Alice and Lily also been bonding very well, she took Lily to Disneyland a couple of times and they never get tired of riding the same rides. Alice felt like a little kid when she’s with Lily, and at times she would just look at lily for moments and thought how nice it would be to have her own kids, thinking that her biological clock is ticking fast.
