Shane, Carmen, and Mark’s apartment.

It is morning and Mark has Lola in bed with him.  Last night was something to remember for a long time.  His relationship with Lola is definitely no longer on break.  He wakes up to the sound of his cellphone ringing.  Mark answers, still half-asleep.

Mark ”Yeah?”

Mark listens.

Mark ”Hey, Eric.  What can I do for you?”

Mark listens.

Mark ”Yeah, yeah it turned out great.  Sold some copies, signed some copies.  Raised some money for breast cancer research.  Pretty cool night last night, you should’ve been there.”

Mark listens.

Mark ”Right.  Well…”

Mark listens.

Mark ”Thanks, man.  It’s good to hear from you.  Gomey was there last night.  He had fun.”

Mark listens.

Mark ”He was very well behaved, sir.  Mister Sonnenberg, I’ll always appreciate what you’ve meant to my career up to this point.  You don’t have to worry about me talking smack about you or any of that bullshit.  I just wanted to do something different.  You guys keep doing what you do though.  You got Gomey bustin’ ass for ya.”

Mark listens.

Mark ”You, too man.  Later.”

Mark hangs up the cellphone.  Lola wakes up, curling up to him.

Lola ”Who was that?”

Mark ”My old boss.  He was just calling to congratulate me on last night.”

Lola smiles.

Lola ”I think I liked my congratulations to you better.”

Mark ”Yours was very well done.”

Lola ”Was?  Baby, it’s still going.”

Lola kisses Mark on the lips.

Lola ”Good morning.”

Disappearing under the covers, Lola works her way down Mark’s body.  It is a good morning, indeed.

The day progresses.  For Alice and Lara, it is a matter of preparing for tonight.  While Alice tends to Dana, Lara spends a day at work at The Planet.  The kitchen at The Planet is somewhere for her to escape for a moment, even if it is through work.  The previous evening, Dana had made a suggestion for the two of them.  The suggestion was for Alice and Lara to spend an evening together with Dana staying home, relaxing.  She wants to make sure the two of them can bond together.  The day fades into late afternoon.  Soon, it will be evening.  Lara has arrived with various John Hughes directed films for Dana to choose from after stopping by a video rental place.  Alice and Lara prepare for their evening, still unsure how this will go.
