Shane got up and walked up with kit to the bar; Shane sat on one the empty stools and looked back at her daughter who is playing with the salt and pepper shaker. Kit threw a white tea towel over her shoulder and cleared her throat getting Shane’s attention.

“Shane…” Kit started.

“So you heard huh… yeah, I know Kit, I screwed up big time. I, I don’t know I thought I could make it work with Carmen but then I realize that it’s never going to work out between us you know… it just never would…” Shane stopped and looked back at Kit.

“Are you going to let me talk now?” Kit said.

“Uh yeah…” Shane said sheepishly.

“Okay, you better listen to me and you listen good… now, I know your history with Carmen, I know how y’all used to be all messed up in love but that was yesteryears Shane… and a month ago you broke one of my best of friend heart, you shattered it. You know that girl been coming up in here in the morning with a six pack of diet coke in her hand??” Kit said to Shane.

We all make mistakes Shane and I don’t blame you… you tried to save what you’ve been trying to save all these years… now you know it don’t need anymore savin’. So now what I want you to do is get your ass back to your seat and finish your lunch with you daughter and after that… you better go and talk to Alice and sort your shit out.” Kit finished.

“Yeah well… I don’t think she’ll pick my call anytime soon Kit…” Shane said looking down like guilty school kid.

“Don’t you worry… she just came in. she’s at the usual table with Bette.” Kit said looking past Shane’s shoulders. Shane looked back where Kit is looking and saw Bette and Alice talking, and Bette is looking like she’s consoling Alice. Shane looked back to Kit. “Holy Shit…”
