“I’m happy for you babe. I’m glad that everything is going great for you.” They kiss again and hold each other in a hug.

“I love you.”

“I love you too.” Destiny pulls on Bette’s pant leg, making her look down. Bette smiles and picks her baby girl off the floor. “Did me and mommy leave you out?” She nods her head and lays her head down on Bette’s shoulder.

“How about we go out to eat? Would you like that?” Tina grabs Destiny’s little hand.

Destiny nods her head. “Uh huh.”

“Alright then my ladies, we’re going out.” Bette kisses Tina again and smiles.

            Shane and Carmen are sitting on the couch, watching a movie. Shane wraps her arms around Carmen and kisses the top of her head. Carmen sighs and keeps her eyes on the TV. There is a knock on the door.

“I’ll get it.” Carmen got off of Shane and walks over to the door. She opens it and her smile fades away. “Jenny, what’s wrong?”  Shane sat up off the couch and watches Jenny come into the house, eyes red and puffy, Kleenex in hand. Carmen closes the door and walks up to Jenny. She walks her over to the couch, and Jenny sits down.

Shane sits up and grabs Jenny’s hand. “Jen, what’s happened?”

Jenny starts to shake her head and sniffs. “The trust in the relationship is completely gone. I don’t know what to do.” She begins to cry uncontrollably.

Shane wraps her arms around her. “Alright babe, calm down and tell us what happened.”

Jenny takes a deep breath and calms down. “Marina’s friend Veronica is staying with us for a while, and there’s a bad vibe when she’s around. I was right; she tried to hit on me and ended up kissing me. But it gets better, I tell Marina the truth about the whole thing and doesn’t believe me. She believes Veronica before she does me. I couldn’t believe she actually said that to me. It was unreal.” She wipes her nose and weeps.

Carmen grabs a hold of Jenny’s hand. “How about you just stay home with us and take a breather before headed back. You really need to think before being all distorted driving home.”
