Lara looks at Carmen.

Carmen ”You have that kind of aura, you know?”

Lara ”Carmen, you’ve definitely been up way too many hours and need to rest.”

Carmen ”Do you promise not to get mad if I tell you something?”

Lara ”Sure, go ahead.”

Carmen ”I remember when I first met you.  It was one of my first gigs at The Planet.  You were already there as the Chef.  …I remember making Shane so jealous.  She and I were still…kinda growing into each other at the time.  I told Shane she was lucky that I didn’t meet you first.”

Lara ”Um…not really sure how to respond to that, Carmen.”

Carmen laughs.

Carmen ”Don’t worry, it’s all good now.  I’m very happy right now.  Shane and I…God, we’re so close now.  Even with Mark there…which…isn’t as weird as it used to be.  He’s kinda like the playfully annoying brother now.”

Lara ”Carmen…I’m really happy for you and Shane.  And I…need to sleep.”

Both stand up from the trunk of the car.

Carmen ”Same time tomorrow?”

Lara ”Same time tomorrow.  Which…for me will be in a few hours.”

Lara and Carmen give one another a hug.  The two are bonding in this time working together.  Lara is off to her own apartment this evening, so as to not to disturb Dana’s sleep.  She can never know.

Los Angeles, Present Day.

Down the sidewalk, they walk together, the three of them.  Lara and Alice carry various shopping bags while Dana’s arms are clutched with theirs.

Dana ”So I was thinking about wearing that green dress…for the Lyon-Martin Benefit, I dunno, to make a speech, what do you guys think?”

Alice ”I would save the green dress for T.V.  Because it’s a good color on you.”

Dana ”Thank you.”

Alice ”And you are the color commentator…so.”

Lara ”I don’t think that’s what that means.  I think it’s what?  Color as in personality?”

Dana ”Yeah…that…sounds about right.  I get to give injury reports, statistics…all while being colorful.  I guess.”

Dana sees through the windows of one of the clothing stores.  She sees a mannequin on display with no wig.

Dana ”Wow.  It’s like looking into a mirror.”

Alice ”…Well…”

Lara ”…She has way more of a tan.  And she doesn’t have your eyes.”
