Alice stood and slung her bag over her shoulder.
“Call her, huh?” Bette asked resignedly, watching her friend stand up.
“It couldn’t possibly make things any worse.”
“That’s reassuring,” Bette grimaced.
“You can’t take back what you did, but you CAN choose to start dealing with this the right way, right now.”
“Thanks,” Bette said sincerely.
“If you two didn’t belong together, I’d stay out of this. Believe me, it’s no picnic.”
Alice reached down and squeezed Bette’s shoulders before leaving the restaurant.
“Start puckering,” Bette said, staring at the phone in front of her.
When she was around the corner, Alice flipped open her cell and called Shane.
“How’d it go?” Shane answered.
“Caller ID has taken all of the surprise out of this,” Alice said, getting in her car.
“I have enough surprises in my life,” Shane said. “Did she do it?”
“Not yet, but she’s going to. I pulled out the big guns.”
“How’d she take it?”
“Who can tell? She’s dead behind the eyes.”
“Well, if knowing that Tina’s dating doesn’t get her to do something, then she’s dead all over,” Shane sighed.
“How is our girl?”
“Same roller coaster, different day. I stayed there last night.”
“With Tina?”
“Yeah. We were up late talking, and I just crashed there.”
“Where did you sleep?” Alice asked.
“What?”
“There’s only one bed in that house. Where did you sleep?” Alice pressed.
“What difference does it make?” Shane asked.
“If it doesn’t make any difference, then why won’t you tell me?”
“I slept with Tina. Slept is kind of an exaggeration. She tossed and turned and…”
“And you watched her,” Alice finished.
“What’s your point Al? You’re saying I’m putting the moves on Tina?” Shane was getting more irritated by the moment.
“Oh for *****’s sake! Right, Shane. That’s exactly what I’m saying. I’m just…I don’t think you should make a habit of it, that’s all.”
“She asked me to stay. So I stayed.”
“Don’t make me start worrying about you, okay? I’ve got enough on my mind,” Alice said quietly.
Maybe she should tell Bette that there was more to be anxious about than that hot Brit who was making time with her woman.
“Gotta go,” Shane said.
“Yeah, yeah. Be careful, will you? Stick to your one-night twinkies, okay? No matter how wonderful you are, she’ll never love anyone but Bette. You know that, right?”
“I’m going,” Shane said, disconnecting the call.
“These people are killing me,” Alice muttered, starting the Mini and tossing the phone on the passenger seat. “Little by little. Bit by bit. Killing. Me.”
