“Hey that’d be a good idea.”

“I don’t know if I’d be pushing it. What if I scare her?”
 ”Well you won’t be dressed as a wedding ring Carmen; I think she
can handle it.”
Carmen continued dancing and decided that she would do something for
her the next evening since she’d have work, it’d be perfect. She
snapped out of her state of mind, and felt hands on her waist. Carmen
turned, it didn’t feel right.

“Hey, you wanna dance?” a girl offered. She was beautiful and Carmen
didn’t want to be mean. But she was soon saved. She felt Shane’s
presence behind her.
 ”I’d love too, but I’m this girl’s tonight.” Carmen turned and
kissed Shane on the lips. The girl understood and took off in the other
direction. The dance carried on, and eventually they had to call it a
night. After Dana and Alice went their separate ways, Carmen and Shane
made their way to bed and decided that they were both too tired to
attempt to have a little fun that night.

    The next morning, Carmen woke up to an empty bed,
but didn’t feel cold this time, she knew Shane had work. As she turned
to stretch out she felt something on Shane’s pillow. It was a note. All
it read was, “ill call you later. Love you. Shane.” Carmen smiled and
welcomed the sun that snuck in from the window. She laid there for a
couple of minutes trying to figure out what she would have ready for
Shane when she came home. She eventually talked to jenny about her
plans that night and made sure no one would be home. After hours of
waiting, and preparing, it was almost time for Shane to come home.

    Shane walked through her dim house looking for the
only thing that had made her happy these past few weeks. As she made
her way into kitchen, she put the groceries down on the table and
looked around once more for anyone. She did find a stove that was
keeping some freshly made food warm. She smiled, Carmen had cooked for
her. Before her thoughts carried on thinking about Carmen, her eyes
caught on to a little light that burned in the middle of the family
room. Making her way to the living room she stopped and noticed jenny.

“Opps, I’m not supposed to be here.” Was all she said while she grabbed
her keys and made her way out the door. A little taken back Shane tried
to figure out what exactly was going on. Turning again to the candle
that lay still flooding the area around it, she saw a note placed by
the holder and made her way to get it. She opened it smiling; knowing
Carmen was up to something. “Bedroom.” Was all it read. She took off
her jacket and walked to her room while adjusting her hat. She made her
way slowly, peering into her room from the corner. It looked pretty
dark, but when she turned the corner she saw a lightly lit room. She
found a flower tied to the door handle and undid it to smell. She
pushed the door open slowly and. Even though she knew Carmen was trying
hard to make it a surprise, she got the idea and played along. She
opened the door and took in the smell of the candles that were placed
randomly around the room. But she wasn’t there and so Shane began to
look when suddenly she heard her door fly open and hit the wall beside
it.
“SHANE! What are you doing here? You’re not supposed to be here yet.
*****!” Carmen made her way to the bed and sat down obviously upset
while she began to stare at the floor.
