Alice and Shane was sitting on Alice’s bed…

Alice: Hey, thanks for cleaning up the place. It looked like a pig sty.

Shane: (smiling) It was all Dana’s idea, me and Carmen just helped.

Alice: Oh, okay.

Shane: Have you talked to her?

Alice: Yeah.

Shane: Well…

Alice: I went to a therapist..yesterday.

Shane: Mm hmm..

Alice: Well he said I have trusting issues. I don’t have trusting issues, do I?

Shane looked away thinking. Alice pushed her jokily.

Alice: Shut up!

Shane: What? I never said anything. (laughing)

Alice: You think I have trusting issues?

Shane: Well..you really gotta stop worrying about the little things-

Alice: (cutting in) That’s what he said!

Shane: Yeah, and worry about the big things.

Alice: Which is what?

Shane: You know Dana loves you, and you gotta look at her perspectives. That kiss would’ve not meant anything to her. It probably just happened. How would you think she’ll feel if Dannielle came back and she found you kissing her.

Alice: (unsure) Well..

Shane: But you’ll know that kiss didn’t mean anything because you love Dana. You have to let go of all that jealousy, it’s clouding your heart and that’s the best part of you, your so loving, honest, caring, reliable, TRUSTING. That’s why we love you so much. I hate seeing you down like this.

Alice: (blushing a little) You forgot beautiful..(smiles)

Shane: (smiling) Yeah, okay then. Trust Dana, if you want a healthy relationship you gotta have trust. Okay?

Alice nodded still smiling.

Alice: Where is she?

Shane: I don’t know she said she went somewhere in the city. Don’t worry she’ll be back. Now go to sleep and get some rest. I gotta pick up Carmen. Goodnight.

Alice: Night Shane.

Shane smiled and walked towards the door.

Alice: Hey Shane..

Shane turned around.

Shane: Yeah?

Alice: Thanks…

Shane: It’s alright.

Shane smiled and closed the door. Alice fell back in her bed and closed her eyes.

Dana’s signing up for a coming tennis tournament. She has to start training soon or she’ll get out of shape. She had doubts entering because with all the training she won’t have time to see or talk to Alice.
She hopped in her car and started driving back. It was still raining and fog started to come up. The fog was pretty thick and could hardly see anything.
