Shane twirls her around “took you long enough” she says fondly. “Yep, I’m finally home now” answers Jenny happily. It is only then Shane noticed someone else standing on the lawn looking at them. “Hey, I’M Moira.” the person says offering her hand which Shane only stares at.

“Sorry I totally forgot … I’m such a moron. Moira is” Jenny frowns not knowing how to introduce her. “Her girlfriend.” says Moira firmly staring at Shane and putting an arm protectively on Jenny’s shoulder. “Yeah I guess so ahn” Jenny says looking fondly at her girl. Shane corks her head at the scene thinking something is wrong with the butch girl. Something she can’t quite grasp yet.

They enter the house in stone silence. Trying to break the ice Shane announces proudly “so anyway I made dinner”. Jenny smiles at her “Cute”. Moira mumbles “I think I’ll pass, not hungry”. Jenny nods “Yeah we are kind beat so I think we’ll just hit the bed. It’s that okay?” Shane is left mouth agape stuttering “Oh I mean yeahI guess I’ll leave some in case you get hungry” while the couple heads to bed.

Dragging her feet Shane makes her way to the kitchen, her eyes are glazed as she takes a casserole out of the oven and throws it away. Frustrated she kicks the trash can. This ain’t at all what she imagined for the night. She cracks her neck and glances at her cell phone lying on the counter. She takes a quick look over her shoulder and snatches it fastly dialing her girlfriend.

Shane: Hey Carmen: Hi Babe! I’ve been calling you the whole day. Shane: Yeah, listen are you still up for lunch tomorrow. Carmen: Sure thing, babe. So do you want me to come over? Shane : I don’t think it’s a good idea. Jenny is home. (silence) Shane : Listen.. I I’ll see you tomorrow, kay? Carmen : Allright … okay. I Love you baby. Shane : Yeah Bye.

She hangs up before Carmen says “Bye”. Grabbing a hold on the kitchen counter Shane leans over the window breathing in the night breeze then drops her head and says in a resigned tone “I missed having you around Jenny”. She is amazed when she hears “I missed you too, Shane”. She turns round to see Jenny wink at her, “hey I thought you went to sleep” she states. “Well, I’m kinda thirsty” says Jenny grinning as she pulls a couple beers out of the fridge.
