“Hey Shane what’s up with the Golden Girls behind you?” Tina asked and they all turned and took notice of the women waving from a distance.

“Oh shit, they actually came.” she said smiling and waving. She got up and walked over to them. She embraced them all with hugs and as usual her very charming smile. Soon after their brief conversation and picking up their orders they were gone. Shane returned to the table and everyone had eyes locked onto her, waiting to find out what that was all about.

“What?”

“You know damn well what. What was that all about? Please don’t tell me all of those sweet looking old women have all fallen under the Shane spell? What are you luring them with, Polygrip now?” Alice said displaying a disgusted look.

“God no.” Shane said laughing at Alice’s face, “I told them about this place after I beat them in a game of poker. Made some pretty good money that night. Since my landlord is incredibly stupid and has no sense of common decency for other people, I have taken on a second job so I can get a new place. I work nights at the women’s senior citizen home over on Davis Avenue.” Shane said taking a sip of her tea.

“Wow, Shane’s working nights?” Tina said astonished by this change in her friend, “How’s that affected your uhh, usual nightly activities?”

“You have no idea what I’m going through. I’ve been calling on some of the old reserves, but nothing new in a few weeks.”

“So how’s it going trying to find a new place?” Bette asked.

“Alright I guess. But all I’ve seen so far are places that are either to small or way far out of the city. I mean if I wanna come here in the morning I would have to make an hour long drive. It’s ridiculous, I’m telling you…” she said slightly frustrated.

Tina damn near choked on her tea when the thought hit her. She slammed down her cup and coughed trying to get the sentence together “Shane give me about four weeks and I will have a house for you to move into.”
