The girls laugh and tell each other what happened to them in the last 3 months when Carmen was absent. Jenny tells Carmen about the interview she had which ended in a disaster. Alice tells her how she got to know Tasha and the issues they have concerning their different opinions about war.

Alice: “So…what happened between Shane and you in Kit’s office? I mean you didn’t look very happy afterwards. And Shane just escaped.”

Carmen sighs: “ You really want to know what happened, huh.”

Alice harrumphs: “ Yaah!! Tell us what happened.”

Carmen laughed at Alice: “ Okay, well…We got into this office and Shane kept looking at her shoes, which annoyed me as hell. I was the first one to talk and I accused her of acting like I never existed… And while I was talking I couldn’t help but hit her… She didn’t even try to stop me…I shouldn’t have done it, but I was so angry I couldn’t control myself anymore…”

Carmen looks into another direction to avoid her friend’s glances. She regrets her childish behaviour now.

Alice raised her arms in the air: “I knew it!”

Carmen looks at her confused: “What?”

Alice: “Uh, nothing…But hey, I think that I would have reacted the same way if I was in your position.”

Jenny: “ Yes, I mean you must have boiled with rage. What happened then?”

Carmen: “I yelled at her and I started to cry, so I sat down on the sofa. I couldn’t stand anymore. Otherwise I would have broken down…”

Alice: “What did Shane do?”

Carmen’s eyes fill with tears again: “She…she kneeled in front of me and she laid her hands on my knees to calm me down. When I stopped crying she told me that she thinks that I hate her, but she wanted me to know that she didn’t leave me because she didn’t love my anymore…she left me because she was afraid of hurting me and…she told me that she didn’t want to destroy my belief in marriage…Then I just told her, that the fact that her father cheated on his wife didn’t mean that she would have done the same to me. I didn’t even give her the time to answer. I just left…”
