Shane let her body relax, and pushed her self into the pillow.  She closed her eyes to the newly forming tears and bit her lip.  She felt so stupid and scaredthe waiting was unbearablewhen the ***** was they going to toss hertomorrowtoday?  Alice walked in and watched Shanes face contort.  She whimpered slightly at the beauty of Shaneit truly mystified her. 

ALICE:  Shanehonare you in pain?  I have your meds right here…  Alice handed Shane her pain medication along with her other meds.  Here eat this toast with the codeineit will help you keep everything down.  Alice smiled warmly down at Shane, and tussled her own hair.  She resisted the urge to run her fingers through Shanes newly grown out locks.  She wasnt about to take advantage of her in this weaken state.  Alice fell into the chair beside the bed, and sighed.  God this woman truly was breath taking. 

Are you tiredor do you want to talk? 

SHANE: Im goodwe can just talkwhy dont you tell me about Lenoreyour momright?  Shane grabbed the name from her subconscious.  She vaguely remembered hearing Alice talk about her mom, and wanted to keep the attention focused on Alice and off herself.

ALICE:  You remember me talking about herhuh?  Alice scrounged her nose up at the thought of her mother.  Well as you knowshes this old famous B movie star  Alice motioned the quote sign and grinned at her over emphasis of the word star.  she thinks people adore her, and want nothing more than to stand in her shadowas if that would make them feel good about themselves or something

 Alice droned on laughing at her mother, and telling Shane about certain situations her mother got her into as a child.  Shane laughed at all the right moments, her attention never wavering, enjoying the antics and gestures Alice made.  They talked for a couple hours, until Alice noticed Shane had drifted off to sleep.  She smiled and left to go to the couch; she was tired herself and was anxious to replenish her energy.
