“Jenny, why do you care so much for me?” Shane looked at her friend.

“You’re the only family I have, and I don’t want to lose you.” She kissed her hand and rubbed it. “Will you please come out and have some fun for once?”

“I don’t know” Shane looked down at the table, moving her leg from side to side.

“No ifs ands or buts. I don’t want to hear it, you’re coming out with me.” Jenny began to pull Shane off the couch. Shane grabbed her jacket and headed out the door behind Jenny. They walked down the steps and into Jenny’s car. Jenny put the car and drive and pulled off down the road.

            Carmen sighed and kicked her heels off her feet. She dropped her bag on the couch and walked into the kitchen. She smiled when she felt her dog Milo, jumping at her.

“Hey Milo, how’s my baby today?” She opened the fridge and grabbed a water bottle. She walked to the living room with Milo, yapping at her feet. She took a seat on the couch and grabbed the remote. She sat Indian style on the couch with Milo sitting next to her. She took a drink of her water. She heard her phone ring and grabbed it out of her purse.

“Hello?”

“Hello love how was work?”

Carmen smiled and put her hair behind her ear. “It was good, I have everything done before the deadline so I can relax for the rest of my day.”

“Well that’s great. Would you like to meet me up for lunch?”

“I would love too. When and where?”

“How about in twenty minutes at Tuscany?”

“I love that place, I will be there babe.”

Olivia smiled on the other line. “I’ll see you there, love you.”

“Love you bye.” Carmen hung up her phone and grabbed Milo. “Mama going to see Liv.” She gave the dog a kiss on the head and held him close to her.

            Shane and Jenny walked up to a restaurant and went in.

“What is this place?”

“It’s an Italian, its called Tuscany.” They waited for someone to take them to their seats. They sat down at the table, and Jenny picked up the menu. Shane picked up the glass and took a drink of water.
