Shane texted back “Yeah, sounds good. See you then.” Then grabbed her bag and headed towards the hair and makeup trailer.

It was five ‘til noon and Shane was busy doing an actors hair when she hear the familiar voice from behind.

“Hey stranger!”

Shane turned around and saw Bette standing in the doorway with two coffees.

“Oh thank god, you’re a lifesaver, Bette. Seriously—in more ways than one. Let me just finish Dave’s hair and I’ll be ready. Shouldn’t take long.”

“Take your time, no rush.” Bette said as she introduced herself to the actor and sat down in the chair next to him. “So, what’s up with you lately? What’s it like having a kid around the whole time?” She smiled as she took a sip of her coffee.

Shane winced. She wanted to talk to Bette about the whole situation with Shay but the whole predicement made her uneasy. “It’s uh—it’s going ok.”

“Yeah? So then why did you look as if you had just watched two men have sex just now?”

Bette laughed and Dave leaned over to give her a high five. Shane smiled and shook her head.

“You guys are both dicks.”

“Oh don’t even lie, Shane, you know that was a good one. So tell me what’s really up?”

Shane didn’t really want to talk about this in front of the actors. She tried to keep her professional life and her personal life separate, but Dave was a regular on the show that Shane was working on and over the last shooting season and he had learnt a little about her.

“Let me guess,” He said. “You and your girlfriend haven’t had sex once since the kid moved in.”

Shane let her hands drop to her sides and rolled her eyes at him in the mirror.

“Ring Ding Ding!!!! Score one for Dave!” He said.

“Not funny, man. Ok you’re all set to go.”

He makes a comment about Shane being overly sensitive and walks out the door.

Shane sighs and says, “Ready?”

“After you.”

They walk over to the food tent, grab some plates and sit down at the picnic tables.
