Sorry, Shane mumbled to the smaller woman she now clutched tightly to her chest.

Stepping back, but not letting go of her new savior, the womans smile almost split her face, You saved me.

Shane ducked her head slightly, embarrassed, Yeah, its no big deal.

The least I can do is buy you a drink, The womans smile was absolutely breath taking. Im Carmen.

Shane smiled, feeling slightly dopey, Im Shane.

How does she do that, Tina grumbled taking a huge gulp of her beer.

Resting her head on her arm, Bette looked over at her ex, Dont know.

Marissa sat uncomfortably in-between the two. Realizing that this was the first time they had talked to one another she decided to keep quiet.

How are you doing? Bette asked trying to act sober. If you dont mind me asking, I mean, its not really any of my business…

Tina suddenly broke out with a giggle, How do you think Im doing?

Yeah, Tee, I know you dont want to here this, but Im sorry, Bette mumbled with tears in here eyes.

Why did you do it? Tinas mood flipped from drunkenly chipper to depressed in a second.

I I didnt, Bette stuttered. We were drifting apart and I know that was my fault. Candace offered an escape, something that looked exciting. It wasnt. God, I know that know, but its to late.

Yeah, it is, Tina wiped a tear from her check.

Suddenly remembering her conversation with Shane, Bette sat up and looked straight at Tina, Im not giving up, I just want you to know that. I know you dont trust me, ***** I dont trust me, but Im going to make things up to you. And I am not going to stop loving you.

Tina looked up and observed Bettes sincere face, God she wanted to believer her, I probably should get going.

Do you need a ride? Bette slurred forgetting that they had taken cabs.

Nah, your to drunk to drive anyway, Tina smiled getting up unsteadily.

Well at least let me make sure you get to a cab, Bette practically begged.

Contemplating it for a moment, Tina nodded her head, Okay.

Tell Shane thanks for the drinks, Bette told Marissa. It was nice meeting you.
