“I don’t know if you feel the same way… but there is something there…. I know there is. I love you Alice… and if you’re going to say no to me, I’ll… I’ll understand, I know that I’ve hurt you and that was never my intention, all I have are my sorries. Take me back Alice… ” Shane stopped. “Do… do you have anything to say?” Shane asked, her heart beating ten thousand miles per hour.

Tears rolled down Alice’s cheek. She heard sniffles across the table and looked at Dana pulling serviettes out and dapped it close to her eyes. “Shane… you broke my heart by choosing Carmen over me, and now you’re here saying you’ve made a mistake and want me back? Do you know how much heart ache I suffered over you?! And now… everywhere I fucking go I see these posters of you and her…” Alice let out. “Sorry isn’t going to cut it Shane…” Alice said, playing it hard. She got up from the table and walked out the door, she saw Lily looking up at her watching her go and thought about the promise she made with the little girl. She forced a smile and walked out the door.

Shane sat there with her head down. She looked back up and thought that was the last thing she hopes that Alice would say to her. She saw the staring from Bette, Dana and Jenny. “Please tell me you’re going to chase after her Shane…” Bette said.

“I… what else can I say to her… if she wont forgive me, what the hell am I suppose to do??” Shane shrugged looking at her friends.

“Beg her… hold her legs… scream that you’re sorry… I don’t know… what the fuck ever… if I hear another crunch of a diet coke can tomorrow morning Shane, while I’m enjoying my morning coffee and reading my book…I will have to strangle somebody…” Jenny said.

“It is annoying…” Dana joined in with her sniffles. Shane got up from her seat and starts to walk out the restaurant. She stopped at the table where her daughter is sitting. “Hey, I’ll be right back… you can go sit with those ladies if you like…” Shane pointed to Bette, Dana and Jenny who waved back at Lily. Shane kissed the top of Lily’s head and rushed back out.
