Shane looked up from her television to see Alice‘s face pressed against the window pane. Slightly freaked out, she threw a box at the window and signaled Al to come inside.

“Geez your weird sometimes Al. You’d think that you’d just walk inside but no, let’s make faces on the window.”

“Pfft, yeah walk inside Shane. I don’t want to walk into the middle of some massive orgy thank you – I was simply checking that the coast was clear from any kinky *****.”

Shane smiled at Al’s matter of fact nature. “I thought you liked that stuff.”

“Oh I do, but that time of the month you know, wouldn’t want to feel left out and jealous,” Al explained as she took a seat at the bottom of the lounge, on top of Shane’s feet.

“Ok, what’s up?”

Al sighed and closed her eyes as the words spurted out of her mouth.

“I got a new job. In Chicago. For five years. Which was really difficult to take because I’d be away from all of you. But on the other hand I took it because it means I won’t see Dana and Tonya together. Because you see Shane, the thing is I’m really really, crazy in love with Dana, and the idea of them being together kills me.”
