“Hope you feel better Tina,” Tina smiled and nodded at Carmen.

“We’ll see you when we get home tonight.” Helena nodded.

“Night guys,” Bette waved at the girls and walked away from the table.

“Bette still doesn’t know that Tina is pregnant.” Dana looked at Alice.

“I guess not,” Alice shook her head. “But she’s going to find out sooner or later.” She took a drink of her beer.

                Jenny took a drag of her cigarette as she sat at the bar that she met Moira. She took the last sip of her beer and sat it back down on the table. A lanky, dirty blonde-haired woman came towards Jenny and approached the table. Jenny looked up at the woman and smiled softly.

“Hi,” the woman returned the smile.

“Hi, are you enjoying yourself tonight?”

Jenny nodded. “A little bit,” she took another drag of her cigarette. “What about you stranger?”

“I’m doing all right,” she stuck out her hand. “I’m Sloane.”

“Jenny, nice to meet you Sloane.” She shook her hand.

“Would you like to dance?” Jenny snuffed out her cigarette.

“I would love to,” Sloane held out her hand, and Jenny grabbed it. Sloane pulled her out on the dance floor and pulled her close to her. Jenny smiled and rested her hand on Sloane’s shoulder. She looked into her eyes and smiled harder. “You have beautiful eyes—I love the color of them.” Sloane smiled as Jenny stared into her bright grey eyes.

“Thank you,” Jenny nodded.

“You’re welcome,” Jenny laid her head on Sloane’s chest and swayed to the music.

“So are you new to these parts?” Jenny shook her head.

“No, I’m from Skokie—I thought I come back and visit my mother.”

“So where do you live now?”

“West Hollywood,” Sloane nodded.

“So you’re a Valley girl?”

“You can say that in a way,” Jenny chuckled softly. “You’re really sweet,” she looked up at her. “Why is that?”

“I don’t know—I guess it’s because the way I was brought up. My grandmother raised me while my mom worked two jobs just to feed me and my sister.” Jenny nodded.

“Well I hope you never change Sloane.”
