A month and a half later…

Reporter: You’ve been gone for quite a while, can you tell us what’s been going on in your life?

Shane: Well, I got sick and it took a while for me to get better.

Reporter: We know you’re living with Molly Kroll, anything going on between you two?

Shane: We’re really good friends. She has helped me through a rough patch.

Reporter: Where are you at with your fiancé, Carmen? Why has she suddenly disappeared from your life?

Shane: She hasn’t disappeared; I just didn’t know how to deal with everything. If anything, I was the one who pushed her away. After this ad campaign I’m going to go back to work at the police station and hopefully reconcile with her.

Reporter: We’re sorry to hear that. You won’t be doing any more photo shoots?

Shane: I will, I’ll be doing both.

Reporter: One last question, have you set a wedding date yet?

Shane: That’s a still pending question if she decides to forgive me.

Alice was reading the interview out loud to the gang.

Alice: I guess Shane still has some sense left in her to know it wasn’t Carmen’s fault.

Kit: It wasn’t Shane’s fault; she was under all those drug treatments.

Tina: But she shouldn’t have over reacted about the thing with Sofie and Carmen.

Bette: But Carmen did kiss her back.

Dana: Hey, Carmen!

The gang turned their heads around to see a fragile Carmen walk into the Planet. Shane’s ads were everywhere. There were photos of her living with Molly. Gossip going around about their life. Carmen lifelessly floated into the open chair and sat down.

Carmen: Hi, guys.

Tina: Poor thing, you look terrible.

Kit: Baby girl, you got to stop treating yourself so horribly.

Carmen: It was my fault. I didn’t know Sofie didn’t want to be just friends. I can’t believe I kissed her.

Bette: Carmen, that was over a month ago. Just let it go. Shane did.

Carmen looked up at the confused. Alice tossed her the magazine. She read her eyes getting wider as she came to the part about Shane and her.
