“We are gonna rock!”  She said, and Quin didn’t feel as secure.  She turned away, they had not clue as to the
competition at something this huge.

            “Quin, the song we’ve been
practicing, without the words, the ripper with the killer hook, you get some
words for it?”  Clapp asked, the
statesmen and Quin shook her head, she’d been totally blocked since the day at
the Planet, when she’d sang with Alice.

            “Well, we are going to set up,
Quin meet us there?”  Quin nodded, and Alice hung behind as Quin began to make a
sandwich, Maddy kissing Quin’s cheek gently.

            “Bring Alice with you love, ok?”  She said, dashing out the door and Quin caught
the wink and she growled loudly this time.

            “***** set up.”  She said and Alice sat down on the couch, staring at the
huge collection of audio and video equipment.

            “You can go now.”  Quin said waving her hand in a dismissive
gesture and Alice knew she was full of *****, and she
called her on it.  She got up and moved
to Quin’s side.

            “Bull *****.  We
clicked!  You know it, and you’ve been
running away from it ever since.” Alice sang, and Quin threw more turkey onto
the bread and grunted.  She was most
certainly not attracted to this loud mouth, opinionated woman that was standing
brashly at her left.

            “Look, we had a moment.  One moment in time, that may never transpire
again.”  Quin said and Alice sighed.  She wasn’t giving up, there was no way she was
giving up.

            “The iron curtain you hide
your feelings with is so huge…”  Alice began and Quin stopped, her body rigid. Alice stopped talking when she saw her,
unmoving.
