“Well, I just signed for the last of the alcohol delivery.”

“Bette Porter I must admit you’ve truly outdone yourself.”

“Thanks, “she says looking down at her notepad, “Last on my list is to confirm with Dana if she’s attending or not. I’ve been calling her for the past two days and she hasn’t returned any of my text or phone calls.”

“Oh if confirmation is all you need I’ll ask her for you.”

“What do you mean you’ll ask her? Have you spoken to her?”

“Well yeah she’s kind of staying with me.”

“Excuse me staying with you? Since when and why!?”

“Uh, “she says looking down at her watch, “Since about 45 minutes ago.”

“Shane!” She says getting annoyed as she knew she was refraining from giving her the scoop on what was going on.

“Bette please don’t make me say anything I shouldn’t have opened my big mouth in the first place.”

“Oh no I want to know what the hell is going on Shane! Did something happen between her and Lara!?”

“Okay, Bette look this stays between me and you if Dane knew I became a Chatty Patty she’ll never forgive me.”

“Okay seriously who am I going to tell?” Shane gives her a blank stare.

“Not even Tina!?”

“No, not even Tina.” Bette thinks hesitantly before agreeing.

“Okay fine.”

“Bette cross your heart, hope to die, stick a needle in your eye, you promise!”

“Shane what the fuck what are we twelve!?”

“Just give me your word.”

“I did like five minutes ago!”

“Okay, so it’s been no secret Dane and Lara have been having problems since they got here.”

“Yeah I know; no one has even seen Lara when I asked Dana she said she was always working.”

“Which is true, Lara has been working so much Dane has been feeling a little neglected.”

“Yes, yes I already know this you’re not explaining why she is staying at your house spit it out Shane!”

“I’m trying okay—okay so, a few days ago they got into this huge fight and well Lara has been trying to make things right but Dane was still pissed. Well, Dane went to the courts to blow of some steam and Lara sent her a text wanting to make things right. Dane, agreed to meet her at the Cheese Cake Factory hoping to reconcile. Things were going good until Lara told her she wouldn’t be able to attend the gala tomorrow. Words were exchanged then insults were thrown I think she said her cheesecake was thrown too, I can’t remember, “she says scratching her head.
