Shane was sitting at her station textin Alice, who wanted eagerly to go shopping. She wasn’t completely sure if she wanted to go yet but Alice kept pestering her. Shane contemplated giving her a cardboard cutout of Dana, so she would have someone else to talk to. Dana would be gone for another week and Shane couldn’t wait for her return. She probably was more excited than Alice for that event. She heard a motorcycle come to a stop in front of the shop and lazily looked towards the front. Sure enough Ryan was coming in through door. Shane was a little mad at her because she woke up from their sleepover alone and with a note. She got up to meet her at the counter.

Chase: Thank God you are here. She has been moping around and her work is starting to look like shit.

Ryan laughed.

Ryan: Really?

Chase: Yea, if she wasn’t part owner I would fire her by now.

Shane: Thank you Chase, I didn’t know you cared.

Chase: What I am just trying to put in a good word for you.

Ryan: hey

Shane: hey let’s go to my station.

Shane watched in shock as Chase grabbed Ryan’s hand.

Chase: If you care anything about my business then you would take her back.

Shane put her hand on Ryan’s shoulder and led her away from Chase.

Shane: Sorry about that.

Ryan: No, I should be the one saying sorry. I shouldn’t have left like that.

Shane just shrugged and looked down at her feet. She didn’t want Ryan to know how much that hurt her.

Shane: No big deal. I’m just used to being the one leaving.

Ryan: You feel better.

Shane: Yea I do thanks for taking care of me.

Ryan: You’re welcome. You busy or can you squeeze me in.

Shane: Sure I can definitely do that.

Shane shooed away the shampoo girl and washed Ryan’s hair herself. She gently ran her fingers through Ryan’s scalp and lightly graced the back of her neck. Ryan had to bite her lip to stifle a moan. Shane was magic with her fingers. Ryan felt all the tension relax from her body. Shane taped her shoulder to wake her up and go over to the chair.
