Gabby walks closer to Alice and backs her against her car. Alice jumps a little at Gabby’s action. Gabby steps closer to Alice, leaving a little space in between them. “Please just one night, can we talk? How about dinner? Tomorrow night.”

Alice feels her body shaking. “I-I don’t know. I don’t think that would be the best thing to do Gabrielle.” 

Gabby gives Alice a card. “Here, take this. Just give me a call, it’s just an honest lil’ dinner.”

Alice sighs and takes the card. “Alright, I’ll call you. Goodbye now.” Alice moves away from Gabby and gets into her car. She watches her walk away from her car and down the street. Alice takes the card and crumbles it up. She throws it out of her window. She puts her car in drive and drives down the street.

          Christina walks into Mark’s studio and sees him sitting at his computer, struggling. She walks over to him and runs her hand through his hair.

She kisses his head and rests her head on his shoulder. “How’s your tape coming?”

“Really *****. I don’t know where the rest of my footage disappears to. That’s what I’m trying to figure out.”

Christina sighs and starts to rub Mark’s shoulders. “Babe just relax. Everything’s going to be alright. Close your eyes and take a deep breath.”

Mark grabs a hold of Christina’s hands and stops her. “Please babe, I know you’re trying to help. But I really need to be alone right now, if that’s alright.”

Christina walks away from Mark and walks over to his bed. “That’s fine. I’ll stay over here and won’t bother you.” Christina sits down on Mark’s bed and watches him.

Mark sighs and rubs his hand over his face. “Chris, sorry to be an *****, but I need you to leave my studio.”

Christina scoffs and gets off of Mark’s bed. “Whenever you pull the ***** out of your *****, let me know.” Christina stomps out of his studio and slams the door.

Mark scratches his head. “Why do I love that girl so much?” Mark looks back at his computer and continues to work.
