Shane: “Hello? Is anybody here?”

Nobody answers so she walks towards the room where the noise comes from. It sounds like somebody is preparing breakfast. She can hear the whistle of a teapot. As she approaches she gets more and more nervous. The fact that she doesn’t know how she got to this place scares her. She can see a tall brunette from behind, who is cooking a coffee.

Within a few seconds Shane recognizes the person in the kitchen.

Shane: “Dana??”

Dana: “Oh hey ! You’re awake! How do you feel?”

Shane looks shocked but happy to see her friend. She walks towards Dana and hugs her. Her eyes fill with tears.

Shane: “Oh my god. I’m…I’m okay I guess. I’m so glad to see you.”

Dana smiles: “Yeah, it’s good to see you, too. I missed you.”

Shane grins for a moment before she realizes that something is wrong. How is it possible that she is able to be with Dana. She tries to remember what happened. Dana notices Shane’s confusion. She takes Shane’s hand and looks into her eyes with a sad smile.

Dana: “Don’t get me wrong Shane. I’m so happy to see you again. But what happened. Why are you here?”

Shane shrugs: “I…I don’t know. I just woke up and I don’t know how I got here.”

Dana: “Do you remember what happened before you woke up?”

Shane: “Uh…Yeah…I was in my car…I talked to Carmen. On the phone. I was on my way to Oregon. You know…a lot happened after your…”

Shane looks sadly at Dana.

Dana: “My death. Okay, tell me what happened. Take your time.”

Shane breathes deeply: “Alright…you know after your death. I was so sad. I was lost. The fact that you can lose the person you love so abruptly scared me. I was afraid of loosing Carmen. So I proposed to her.”

Dana: “No way! Shane McCutcheon proposes to a girl! But I knew it would happen one day. I knew it. Because deep down you are a loyal person, Shane.”

Dana nudges Shane’s hand but stops when she sees the sadness in Shane’s eyes.

Shane: “Actually…I…I left her, Dane. I left her at the altar.”
