Shane:  “I really love it here.  I love it here with these women and their drama.  Its crazy at times but they’ve always had my back.”

Stevie:  “Well isn’t that sweet.”

Shane knew that tone.  Stevie wasn’t impressed.  Little impressed or shocked Stevie anymore.  She was one of the most emotionally desensitized people you could ever meet.

Stevie:  “Getting soft of me Sha?”

Shane:  “Hell no.  I was just telling you the situation.”

Stevie:  “Alright well thanks.  Now I know.”

Shane loved Stevie but she had a tendency to hurt her feelings at times and not even know it.  Shane got up to leave.

Stevie:  “Sha?”

Shane:  “Yeah?”

Stevie:  “Thanks for having me here, I appreciate it.”

She didn’t even turn to look at Shane when she said it but she knew she meant it.  Stevie said thank you for little unless she really meant it.  Hurt feelings aside, moments like those made Shane know her sister really did lover her.

The Planet 11 p.m.

The women were at their usual spot enjoying this lively planet on a Saturday night as Alice recounted the story to Helena.

Alice:  “Friggin gorgeous Helena!  You’ve never seen a woman like this.  I guarantee it.”

Helena:  “No doubt she’s beautiful Alice but aren’t you going a bit over board.”

Alice:  “Be that as it may I called dibs so back off Brit.”

Helnea:  “Alice I don’t think we have to fight…”

All of words were immediately lost as she watched the Asian beauty trailing Shane.

Alice:  “See?  I told you!”

Helena:  “Game on.”

Alice:  “Damnit Helena.”

Shane and Stevie joined everyone at the table.  They all greeted her.  She half heartedly greeted them.  Alice and Helena were falling over themselves to try to get Stevies attention but she was having a hard time staying focused with all the women around her.

Bette:  “So Stevie, how do you like the new place?”

No answer.

Bette:  “Stevie?!”

Stevie:  “Huh?  Oh I’m sorry, what?”

Bette:  “How do you like your place?”

Stevie:  “Its fine, good place for a dark room.”

She trailed off half way through her sentence.

Stevie:  “Hey Sha, check out the red head over there.”

Shane:  “Nice.”

Stevie:  “Wingman?”

Shane:  “Definitely.”

And like that the two women ran off towards the bar.

Jenny:  ‘Well she’s not wasting any time. 

Helena:  “I should say not.”

Kit:  “That’s a pretty girl though.”

All the women agreed.  Bette, however, was silent.

Kit:  “Baby sis?”

Bette:  “Huh?  Oh yeah…she is”
