Back at Shane and Jenny’s place.  Jenny and Max walk in the door to find Carmen and Shane cuddled up on the couch watching a movie.

Shane-“Hey jen, hey max.”

Jenny-“Hey. so what happened tonight?”

Carmen-“Sam”

Jenny-“ I knew that. But why?” giggling

Shane-“Sam has a bit of a chip on her shoulder. And an even bigger issues with me.”

Carmen-“Sam moved out the other day. When she came back for some of her stuff Shane and I were in bed. Things got ugly and physical.”

Jenny just noticed the small welt that was all that was left of sam’s doing.

Jenny-“I’m sorry Carmen. If there is anything we can do please don’t hesitate to ask.”

Carmen-“ Well since you put it that way. Would you mind if I stay here for a few weeks. My lease is almost up and my landlord wont let me change the locks. Sam still has a key.”

Jenny-“As long as that is okay with Shane, you are more than welcome to stay as long as you like.”

Shane looks Carmen dead in the eye.

Shane-“you know that isn’t an issue we. We will grab some more stuff tomorrow after your mom’s.”

Carmen smiles at shane.. ‘She is handling all of this so well. I am really surprised. She has changed’ her silent though goes unnoticed.

Carmen-“Well I am going to bed. Big day tomorrow” She gives Shane a kiss. “you coming to bed or are you going to stay up for awhile?”

Shane-“I am beat. I am coming to bed with you.”

Shane wasn’t all that tired. But she didn’t want to miss the sight of Carmen walking into what used to be their room and see Carmen lay in the same bed they used to every night., nThey both walk in and start getting readyfor bed.

Shane sighs.

Carmen-“What is it babe?”

Shane-“ive just missed this. It is nice to have everything feel so right again.”

Carmen-“Aww babe.” Kissing Shane.

Shane-“I love you” Carmen isn’t used to Shane being this way.

Carmen-“I love you too.

They both get into bed. Carmen lies down and slides up to Shane laying her head on Shane’s chest. They both lay snuggled up until they fall asleep in one another’s arms.
