Alex: That’s what I thought.

Alex turned to walk away but Shane spun her around again.

Shane: She’s Bette Porter. Remember? She’s the one who lives with her partner Tina and their daughter Angelika in Vancouver. Her sister Kit Porter is performing tonight. They came down to visit.

Alex looked at her mother, debating whether to believe it or not.

Shane: You have to believe me. When have I ever given you reason not to?

Alex: I’m sorry.

Shane smiled and sighed, pulling Alex into her arms.

Shane: I’m sorry you thought I cheated on your Madre. I’d never do that!

Alex: Accept for that one time right?

Shane: Who told you about that?

Alex: You did. Right after we had finished talking about Jess that one night.

Shane laughed.

Shane: Oh yeah.

Alex smiled.

Shane: SO what happened to that girl anyway? The one from earlier.

Alex: Linda got what she wanted, I got what I wanted so then I came here.

Shane: You used the sleepover line didn’t you?

Alex shrugged. Shane smiled.

Shane: You learn fast young Padawan.

Alex bowed.

Shane: Come on, there’s someone I want you to meet.

Shane put an arm around Alex and walked her back over to Bette.

Shane: Bette Alex, Alex Bette.

Bette pulled the girl into a hug.

Bette: It’s so nice to meet you.

Alex: Yeah you too.

Bette let her go and Alex looked up at her mom who looked back down at her.

Bette: Well you definitely are a McCutcheon.

Alex smiled.

Alex: I get that a lot.

Bette: But you have Carmen’s amazing facial structure.

Alex: Thank you!

Bette saw the beer in her hand.

Bette: And Shane’s behavior methods.

Shane shrugged. Alex turned to her.

Alex: Can I stay and watch the show.

Shane: As long as you give me this.

Shane took the beer.

Shane: And you promise that you never do this again. Got it?

Alex nodded and sighed.

Shane: Alright kid!

Shane slung an arm around her.
