Shane-“yeah I am just finishing up with my last client of the day, why?”

Carmen-“ Well I think it is time that we talked”

Shane already didn’t like the tone in carmen’s voice, she knew this couldn’t be headed anywhere she wanted it to.

Shane-“when do you want to meet”

Carmen on the other line thinking if she really wanted to put the girl she was still in love with through so much pain.

Thinking to her self. ‘snap yourself out of it Carmen! After everything this girl did to you, you should hate her.

Shane notices the slight hesitation and giggles. She knows that Carmen must be deep in thought. She knows Carmen so well.

Shane-“Carm you there” snapping Carmen out of herself debate.

Carmen-“ummm yeah, can we meet at the planet in about forty five minutes?”

Shane-“ yeah we can do that, no problem.”

Sighing

Carmen-“ok good. Ill see you there.” And at her last word she hangs up.

Shane finishes up with her client and cleans up. The first thing she goes for is her phone and she dials Alice’s  number. There was no answer. Shane swears to herself and gets in her car to head off to the Planet.

When Shane arrives Carmen is already there. She walks up with a sad look on her face knowing that something just is not right.

With a slight smile Carmen gets up and hugs shane.  Both realize that this was just ment to be a welcome gesture but end up standing there holding one another and soaking up as much of one another before they have to let go.  Shane pulls away first knowing that this wasn’t what Carmen intended, as hard as it was she was trying to respect that.

Shane-“would you like to order something to eat while we talk?”

Carmen-“that’s sounds like a great idea, I haven’t eaten all day.”

The food finally comes after ten long and painful minutes.

Shane-“so what did you want to talk about? I didn’t expect a call from you yet.”

Carmen takes in a long breath trying to calm herself fighting the urge of what she really wanted to do.

Carmen-“ I had long enough to think, I had a year. In the past week I have made a lot of realizations. I don’t want to be with you anymore, and I don’t want to give us another try. We both cheated on one another, and you left me at the altar for reasons I still don’t fully know. “
