Jenny: Well I’m back here again. Hi, I’m Jenny Schecter.

Shane: Shane.

They shook hands politely.

Carmen: Really? Where’re you staying?

Jenny: That’s what I was trying to find out here tonight.

Carmen: Jenny!

Jenny gave her a sheapish smile.

Jenny: I don’t want to spend the money looking for a house. I’m too lazy to clean and all that.

Carmen: You can come home with us tonight. You can stay with me as long as you like.

Jenny kissed Carmen on the cheek.

Jenny: Oh my god, I love you.

She wondered why Carmen would be out here with this girl. Shane was definately hot. Strong and silent but sweet.

Jenny: You two aren’t going out are you?

Carmen grinned and wrapped an arm around Shane.

Carmen: It’s a secret.

Jenny nodded knowingly. This time she returned not only had New York become a bore, but for Cezar and some unfinished personal business.

Carmen: Let’s get home. It’s pretty late.

Jenny: Did I hear that correctly? Carmen thinks it’s late?

Carmen: I want Shane to go home and rest, she hasn’t been well lately.

Jenny: Whipped!

That led to an uproar. Shane protested about how they had just got there, but couldn’t help but lose to Carmen who eased along the discussion with some help from her lips. They all piled into the car. Carmen stuffed Shane into the back seat while Jenny sat in front with Carmen.

Jenny: This feels just like old times.

Carmen: Yup, the good old days.

Jenny placed her hand over Carmen’s.

Jenny: I wish we could go back.

Carmen pulled her hand away quickly. Jenny looked on with dismay.

Carmen: That isn’t very possible. Maybe with a time machine.

The ride back was quite awkward. Shane could be snoring softly in the back. Carmen didn’t say anything because she didn’t want to wake her and saying anything would mean conversing with Jenny. The 20 minute ride took forever. Finally, they were back through the gates of the mansion.

Carmen: Common babe, we’re home. Jenny you can just use the room next to mine, but not the one on the left. Shane’s stuff is in there. Just go to the one one the right.
