Harper feels her stomach sink as her eyes burn into the back of Dana’s head willing her to turn around and be a different Dana. Dana slowly turns her head, without making eye contact with either girl.

“Hi.” She says quietly.

“Hey.” Harper says doing a bad job at hiding the shock on her face.

“So Harper, how do you know Alice?” Shane says curious of how she will answer.

Ever the diplomat Harper says simply, “We commiserated over drinks the other night.” Her brain starts doing math, quickly surmising the Dana and Alice love connection.

“Oh really?” Dana says with a snotty tone to her voice.

“Yeah, is that ok with you?” Alice says with her own snotty intonation.

Shane leans back in her chair not wanting to see this get ugly.

“So what brings you to The Planet?” Shane asks trying to move to a new subject.

“Killing a little time before I run into a meeting across the street.” Harper says very aware of Shane’s eyes traveling over her body.

“Right on.” Shane says sipping her coffee.

Dana shoots a dirty look at Alice.

“What?” Alice says annoyed.

“Nothing. I have to go.” Dana quickly gathers her stuff and starts to leave.

Alice looks at Harper and Shane and starts to turn away. “Dana, what the *****?” Alice says following her out the door.

Harper let’s go a heavy sigh and sits down in Dana’s chair.

“You slept with Dana didn’t you?” Shane says leaning in resting her arms on the table.

Harper looks at her but says nothing.

“Yeah well, when Alice was up getting coffee Dana started telling me about some one night stand she had with a girl at Milk. That was you wasn’t it? I already know all about you and Alice.” Shane just grins.

“Good job huh?” Is all Harper can really think to say.

“Actually it’s rather impressive.” Shane says.

“Man, what are the odds?”

Shane knows exactly what she means. “Apparently pretty good.” She chuckles.

Harper chuckles too, shaking her head.

“Hey, don’t worry about it. Those two have been torturing each other for months, they’ll get over it. It has nothing to do with you.” Shane lends a little insight.

“I appreciate it, means something coming from someone who knows their whole story.” Harper says sipping her tea.
