“Thank you.” Bette placed her arms around Tina and hugged her tight.

“…Thank you.” They pulled away, and Tina leaned forward. She gave Bette a kiss on the cheek and grabbed a hold of her hand. She looked up at her and smiled. Bette smiled, and Tina walked away. Helena walked through the crowd and touched Bette’s arm. Bette turned around and smiled.

“Is everything all right?” Bette nodded.

“I think everything’s going to be okay.”

            Shane walked up to Carmen and Dominique. Carmen stood in a trance, and Dominique touched her hand.

“I’m going to get something to drink.” Dominique walked away, leaving Carmen with Shane. Shane smiled nervously at Carmen.

“Hey.” Carmen looked at her and crossed her arms.

“Hey.” Shane took her mask off and looked at her.

“Can we go somewhere and talk?” Carmen hesitated, and Shane sighed. “Please?”

“…Okay,” Shane stuck out her hand, and Carmen took it. Shane guided them through the crowd and made it to the office in the Planet. Carmen walked in, and Shane closed the door. Carmen leaned against the desk, and Shane walked up to Carmen. She stood inches away from her and took a deep breath.

“I…” She looked down and looked back up at Carmen. “I know what I’ve done to you in the past was wrong, but…I trying my best to make my change, and I want you to know that. You’re the only one for me, and it hurts…” She looked away and waited. “It hurts me when I know that I’ve done wrong, and you keep coming back thinking that maybe I’ll change. But I still fail you…” She bit her bottom lip. “I know I haven’t been the best girlfriend to you, but I want this to work out. We’re meant for each other,” She looked at Carmen with tears in her eyes. “I’m sorry for what I’ve done, and I wish I take everything back. I want things to be right between you and me. I want us to be happy again and in love again. I want us to be us again. You probably hate me, but I’m still in love with you, and I want you back in my life. I need you. I’m nothing without you.” Shane dropped her head and sniffed. “I need you to forgive me.” Carmen dropped her arms to her sides and licked her lips. She looked at Shane and wiped her eyes. She moved away from the desk and stood in front of her.
