Shane-“ yeah….. “

Carmen-“ how”

Shane-“ Well  you make me feel in a way I ever have before, so I found that when I am feeling that way I can put a lot of emotion into my work. And for once in my life it worked”

Carmen looks at shane to see if she was serious or if this was just some cheesy pick up line. But all she found when she looked at shane was pure desire and love.

Shane-“ im sorry Carmen, I shouldn’t have said that, its just that I am trying something new in my life. I am being completely honest and I am done running.”

Carmen-“ I don’t know what to say”

Shane-“ you don’t have to say anything.  All I ask is you look at everything that happens tonight with open eyes and an open heart.”

Carmen clearly confused “ what do you mean?”

Shane-“ you will find out soon, I promise.”

The rest of dinner they don’t say a word to one another. They just soak up being close to one another. It is almost like they are communicating just through eye contact.

Shane thinks to herself’ how did I ever get to this place? I am sitting next to the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Who I love more than life itself. Yet I have nothing to say to her.’

Shane looks at her watch and realizes they need to go if they are going to get to the opening on time.

So they walk out and get back into shane’s  new jeep and head off.

The streets are packed with people waiting to get into Bette’s new gallery. Shane walks Carmen up to the door.

Shane-“ I have to go in, but promise me you will be there for the opening show case.”

A clearly confused Carmen just agrees that she will be there and shane heads off inside not knowing what her fate will be in forty five minutes.

The gang catches up with Carmen outside.

Alice-“ does anyone know what the hell shane has planned? I cant stand that she has been so wrapped up in whatever she is doing but wont tell anyone.”

Laughing tina replies “ some things never change, Alice whatever it is it is very important to her, so we will just have to sit and wait to see what she has been working on”
