“Sitting on Lara’s face most likely” Alice venomously replied

“Sorry Al” Shane said trying to console her

“No, no I’m over it.  She can be with who ever she wants” Alice got up from her chair “I’ll be right back”

“Al” Shane pleaded

“I’m fine” she told her walking away “you can all talk about me while I’m away”

“Poor Al” Tina looked after the retreating figure of her friend

“Shit!  I totally forgot” she looked at Angie “Sorry” Shane exhaled heavily before she then added “I really put my foot in it this time”

“It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have hired her” Kit admitted

“You didn’t know Dana was going to dump Alice for her” Bette said

“Yeah, but I should’ve remembered that they have unfinished business” Kit countered

“Still, Dana and Al seemed so in love.  Honestly, no one saw it coming” Tina added

“And according to Dana, she didn’t dump her for Lara” Shane added

“She didn’t?” Kit said

“Dana said she was getting a little clingy” Shane told them

“Was she clingy when you were together babe?” Tina looked at Bette

“She had tentacles when we were together” Bette remembered then added “I can see where Dana’s coming from”

“You and Alice were together, Bette?” Helena asked

“Briefly” Bette then added “it was just before Tina and I met, we broke up right after that”

“So you broke up with her to be with Tina?” Helena looked Bette incredulously

“Well, the relationship, if you can call it that, wasn’t going anywhere” Bette argued

“According to you” Helena returned “but maybe she felt the same way for you as she feels for Dana”

“And she’ll get over Dana just like she got over me” came Bette’s rebuttal “Look at us now, we’re family”

“She just stopped crying over her now and all she has left is that” Helena reluctantly added “that shrine”

“Oh yeah” Shane confirmed “The Shrine o’Dana”

“What?” Bette and Tina incredulously said then tried to look normal upon Alice’s sudden return

“Okay I’m back” she said getting back to her seat “Look you guys, I’m fine” she unconvincingly said “I am totally over her” then added as she glared at Shane hoping to get even for putting her on the spot “Where’s Carmen, Shane?”
