"Well Alice is definitely your girl," Dana teased laughing.

Alice grinned proudly, "I’ll take the job."

"Fantastic," Helena said grinning, "my mom is really proud of my advancements and I want the first issue to be something she absolutely loves. So I have a biography and praise of my mother and I know she loves art, so Alice, your first job is to have Bette recommend the art my mother loves so we can print portraits of them in the magazine."

"Porter is busy with the academy opening and everything, but Tina will make her sit down with me," Alice said, "consider it done."

"Thank you very much Alice," Helena said.

"Hi ladies," Kit said setting down coffee in front of Alice and Dana.

"Hey Kit," Alice said.

"We barely see you you’re so busy setting up the place," Dana said.

"But the club turned out to be a huge success, congratulations," Alice said.

Kit grinned, "thanks. I’ve hired a great manager so I can take a break finally."

Alice took a sip of coffee then bit into her croissant. "Mmm!" Alice cried, "that’s amazing! Who made it?"

"My new chef," Kit said, "she’s amazing. Her name is Lara."

"Whoa! Lara Perkins?" Alice cried.

"Yeah, you know her?" Kit said.

"Yeah she’s my ex," Dana said.

"Really? Oh I didn’t know," Kit said.

"Dana?"

They all looked up as Lara approached the table smiling. Alice looked uncomfortable and Dana looked nervous.

"Uhh, that’s my cue to go, I have a meeting," Helena said.

Helena left the table quickly.

"Oh! There’s the new bouncer I hired," Kit said pointing at the door as a buff black woman entered the cafe. "Bye ladies."

Lara took the seat Kit was just sitting in and said, "so how you been?"

"Uhh good, how about you?"

"Good," Lara said smiling, "I went to a cooking academy in France and now I’m classified as a five-star chef."

"So then why are you working here?" Alice said a little rudely.

Lara didn’t seem to notice, "hi Alice, how are you?"

"Good, good," Alice said quickly draping an arm over Dana’s shoulders, "Dana and I are girlfriends now."

"Oh really?" Lara said looking a little disappointed, "congratulations. Uhh you guys make a great couple."
