Lisa “No, I just saw her at the Planet.”

Lacey “And that’ll be the only way you hear from her, when you see her. It’s the four “F’s.” She finds ’em, feels ’em, fucks ’em, and then forgets them. You’ve been through the first three, now you’re on the last one.”

Lisa begins to feel less comfortable.

Lisa “I mean, we both knew going in it wasn’t gonna last.”

Lacey “Yeah?”

Swinging her office chair to face Lisa, she crosses her arms.

Lacey “And still made you feel like you’re the only one? That’s what happened with me.”

Lisa “Well, I thought maybe…”

Lacey “That’s where she gets ya. That’s where Shane gets everyone. She makes you feel like you’re the one for just a second and you start to believe it. Then she goes missing on you, like she did me. I think I should be the one asking if you’re okay.”

Lisa “No, I’m fine. It’s Shane, I get that. Just seeing you and thinking you were upset, that’s why I’m here.”

Lacey “I have my work. I’ve already mastered this new Photoshop program. Kit’s gonna love the new design of her fan page.”

Lisa is not convinced.

Lisa “You can only bury yourself in so much work, Lacey. I mean is that all you’re gonna do now? Get up at the snap of Kit Porter’s fingers then come home and do this or do that? What happens when you run out of things to do?”

Lacey shrugs.

Lacey “That’s the thing. I like always having something to do.”

Lisa shakes her head.

Lisa “I feel like you’re running from something. I mean, shit maybe we both are. We both went out and got Shaned. I still hang out with her friends and technically I still work with one of them. When I’m done working, I don’t bury myself in something else I mean we still have lives you and I. I don’t want you to become a drone.”

Lacey “I’m not a drone.”

Lisa “Really? When’s the last time you went out? And I don’t mean with Kit and the ’crew’ either.”

Lacey “I don’t have time.”

Lisa “No, Lace you always have time. I shouldn’t be surprised when you’re mad at someone. There used to be a time when you were feeling strongly about someone, positive or negative I would know. And now, you just bury yourself in stuff and pop people on their heads when you’re unhappy with them.”

Lacey looks at the door then back to Lisa, her arms still crossed.

Lacey “Do you want me to tell you I’m heartbroken and say you might be, too? Over the same woman? That’s a weird way to bond with someone.”

Lisa “Okay. Look, I’m just saying you need to get out of the house and enjoy life for a bit. At least long enough to have a good time. Find some old friends, talk or-”

Lacey “Lisa! I don’t have time for this. Okay I wanna get this banner up and then chill out and I still have Lori coming by.”

Lisa “Stuff to do with Kit?”

Lacey “I don’t know. Probably. Look, I’ll do something fun for you sometime, okay? I’ll even let you know when I do it do you don’t think I’m turning into a drone.”

Lisa nods. This is likely as much progress as she is going to make tonight.

Lisa “Okay.”

Lisa is soon to make her exit, still feeling there is a wall between her and Lacey.
