Some take-out and a dvd was looking like the best option for tonight if this was the alternative, thought Alice to herself as she flicked her gaze between Shane and Becca. The pair had lasted a total of 36 hours before bumping into each other and jumping into the closest bed, or more accurately the back of Shane’s car and then the closest bed from then they’d barely managed to pry themselves from the other. Alice had always been supportive of Shane’s more monogamous relationships but though she’d been firmly told that there was no u-haul on the horizon this was something else. A look of morbid disgust, posing as surprise and happiness hadn’t slipped from Al’s face since making the crucial mistake of sitting down with them for breakfast- Shane was, yeah she wasn’t imagining it Shane was being cutesy. This would-be lady-killer was all wide eyes and giggles as she draped herself over the petite blonde and gazed wistfully at the object of her affection when Alice stole away Bec’s attention.

“Like everyone one in LA I’m not actually from here,” explained Bec, as Alice tuned back in- vaguely aware that she’d asked a question but at a loss for what it was

“Oh yeah” covered Alice, not in particularly inspired fashion and Bec donned a small, but suspicious smile

“Yeah” she was going to leave it and let Al sweat a little, but decided to save everyone the hassle and just continue on

“Mom moved my brother and I out here when I was about 8 so I’m more Hollywood than most”

“Where’s your brother now?” asked Alice, building on the snippet of information she retained

“He went back to Boston to try and relate to our father, but the guy was dying from years of alcohol abuse so Jerry stayed back East and set up a women’s refuge”

Alice’s attention was suddenly caught

“Really? That’s a fucking big thing to do- particularly for a guy”

“Yeah, the Steiner Refuge”

“Your Jewish?” Al said it without thinking, and wasn’t entirely sure if she regretted it just yet

“Yes” said Bec bluntly, not sure how to take the question.

“Cool” returned Al, finding her self extraordinarily interested in her coffee before moving the conversation along
