“How was your meeting?” Shane asks.

“Incredibly long. Which is why I am still in the neighborhood.”

“Well I hope it was worth it.” Shane says.

“My fingers are crossed that it was.” She says with a raise of her eyebrows. “And how was your day?”

“Not too bad. Did a couple of haircuts, made a little money. Can’t complain.” Shane says with her half grin.

“So you’re a hairstylist.”

“Yep, mostly. On occasion I do a little Personal Assistant work for this Studio Exec lady.”

“Hey, whatever pays the bills.” Harper looks at her and smiles. “Can I interest you in some sushi? My eyes were way bigger then my stomach.” She motions to the feast before her.

“You serious?” Shane says eyeballing the grub.

“Dead serious. In fact, I insist.”

Shane makes of show of slowly straddling the bench. “If you insist I can’t really say no.” She smiles with a tilt of her head.

Harper takes off her sunglasses, hooking them into the neck of her t-shirt. She digs in the food bag, handing Shane a set of chopsticks. “Dig in.”

Shane tries to fight the image of digging her mouth into the nape of Harper’s neck. She bites her lower lip, taking the chopsticks. “Thanks.”

“Hope you like it.” Harper says.

“Oh I will. That place on the corner is great.”

“Yeah, I know, that’s why I went.”

“I’m a total sucker for this stuff.” Shane inspects the food trying to decide what to have first. “And you ordered all my favorites.”

“Well, I guess I have good taste then.”

Shane immediately begins to think of Harper’s liaisons with her two friends. “I would have to agree.”

Harper laughs knowing damn well what Shane’s thinking.

“So any word on Dana and Alice?” Harper is curious to know if they are working things out.

“No, but that’s a good sign. Had things gone poorly I am sure I would’ve gotten frantic phone calls by now.” Shane says popping a bite of California Roll into her mouth.

“I sure hope so.” Harper still can’t believe her dumb luck. She hasn’t been in the dating world in almost 4 years. And when she reemerges she has two one night stands, which she still can’t believe she did. And to top it off the girls know each other, are best friends and just happen to be in love with one another.
