“Oh she said to send you guys her love.  She says Paris isn’t the romantic city that everyone’s been raving about” Dana responded releasing both their hands

“How long is she there for?” Bette asked

“She’ll be there for another four months” Dana said to her friends

“Wow” Alice rubbed her hand “How’re you holding up?”

“I’ve survived worse” Dana smiled at Alice

“Hey Al is Tasha coming over?” Bette asked

“Who’s Tasha?” Dana poked at Alice

“Oh this woman I met last night through Papi” Alice grinned “Totally cool gal you’d love her Dane.”

“She’s a captain in the Army” Bette added

“A GI Jane” Dana gave an impressed nod “Anything serious?”

“Don’t know, waiting to see I guess” Alice picked up her cup of latte

“What happened to the vampire with the PhD?” Dana was curious to know

“Yeah, um.  How did you find out about her?” Alice casually placed her cup of latte back on the table feeling a little hot all of the sudden.

“Helena told us that she hooked you up with someone she met through therapy” Bette explained while forking into her salad.

“Oh okay” Alice didn’t how to process that bit of information “she was just a fling, wasn’t going anywhere.” she shrugged.

“So you think things with Tasha might go somewhere?” Dana toyed with her cap.

“I think so, but with my luck with relationships, you never know” Alice laughed.

“Hey guys, guess what?” Shane pulled out a chair to sit.

“You’re giving up sex?” Alice laughed.

“You’re a devout monogamist?” Dana joined her.

“You guys are boring” Shane waved off their little jokes “I got the hair gig for the movie” she told them enthusiastically.

“What movie?” Dana asked.

“Les Girls?” Bette guessed.

“Yup” Shane said proudly.

“Wow” Alice high fived Shane “Way to go Shaney!”

“Congratulations Shane” Dana offered her own high five.

“Thanks” Shane was happy to have a nice steady income for a change “Jenny hooked me up.”

“Good for you Shane” Bette offered sincerely.

“I am going to kill fucking Jenny Schecter!” Tina took the seat next to Bette and gave her kiss on the lips “Hey babe” she whispered.
