Happy New Year
“There’s Alice,” Bette said, waving toward the front door of the Planet as soon as she spied her friend.
Alice grabbed Tasha’s hand and started leading her through the crowd.
“This place is packed,” Alice observed as they arrived. “It’s still more than an hour before the New Year.”
“Not everyone goes out until four in the morning Alice,” Tasha observed as she glanced around, somewhat nervously. “I bet a lot of these people will be leaving at 12:30.”
“Speaking of people leaving at 12:30, Happy New Year Bette,” Alice leaned in and kissed Bette on the cheek as she hugged her. “You too Tee,” Alice made her way around Bette’s chair to greet Tina in the same fashion.
“Who’s taking care of Angelica if you’re both here?” Shane asked. All the usual babysitters were sitting around the table with them.
“The young couple that moved in two doors down from me this summer have a new baby and offered to take her for the night,” Bette replied. “New Year’s Eve is sparse for child care so I jumped at the chance.”
“Where’s Jodi?” Alice directed the question at Bette as she slid a couple of chairs out between Paige and Kit.
Bette was the only one who didn’t see the visible cringe from Tina as the question hung in the air.
“She won’t be back for another week,” Bette replied. “She’s finishing up a project and has to do some paperwork before she can leave New York for a bit of a holiday here.”
“I love this song Shane, let’s go dance,” Paige stood as she spoke and took Shane’s hand to pull her to her feet.
“Wow, looks like Shane’s going dancing,” Alice observed.
Shane was quickly drawn up from her slouched and comfortable position in the chair and they disappeared on the dance floor.
The silent glances around the table spoke more than words could. She just didn’t strike them as the one Shane should be settling down with, given the fact that only a year earlier she had left Carmen so abruptly.
“Here comes our late brunch,” Kit said as she saw the server approaching the table with a food-laden tray.
They all reached to clear spots in the middle of the table so the food could be set down.
