Alex, Carissa and Halle Hangout

Alex has just finished talking about how much she loved her surprise from Ethan and giving him a key to her place.

 

Carissa- "Wow, a key?  That's big."

Alex- "Well, I can see us going the distance."

Halle- "Like to the sound of wedding bells?"

Alex- "You never know.  Granted we have issues to work out.  Cheating on him with his brother was a setback."

Carissa- "Oh Alex, you didn't."

Alex- "I did.  It's nothing I can't handle."

 Carissa- "Well, be patient.  Trust isn't the easiest thing to repair."

Halle- "That's true.  You've been here for 45 minutes and he's already called you twice."

Carissa- "And once in the car."

Alex- "Like I said, we have our issues."

Alex- "How are you and that Amber girl getting along?"

Halle- "She seems to still be upset about the demotion."

 

Carissa- "So, what does she want, her original job back?"

Halle- "Looks that way and that isn't happening."

Alex- "Just demote her again to unemployed, that'll solve that problem."

Halle- "I can't fire her.  I'll feel so guilty."

Halle- "She's already been through a broken engagement with Jessie and now to be unemployed.  That's a lot to deal with, especially when she came to me for help."

Alex- "Puh-leaze!  She's a big girl.  You owe her nothing."

Carissa- "Alex is right on this one, Halle."

Halle- "It'll work itself out."

Alex- "Hmm, what on earth was Jessie thinking?"

Carissa- "There's obviously something he loved about her."

 

Alex- "Well, whatever it was, he loved his money more.  No prenup, no marriage."

 

The conversation later shifts to Carissa's love life.

 

Carissa- "I have a date with Oliver tomorrow evening."

Halle- "Oh boy."

Alex- "Oliver?  Is this the doctor?"

Carissa- "Yeah, that's him."

Halle- "So, you've decided to move forward with him?"

Alex- "What did I miss?"

Carissa- "He's a tad bit pushy."

Halle- "A tad?  I remember you using the words hounded you with personal questions, on the first date nonetheless.  How it made you completely uncomfortable."

Carissa- "I get it Halle.  You're not that fond of him."

Halle- "Well, neither are you."

Carissa- "I called him."

Halle- "You're settling?"

Carissa- "Halle really?"

Alex- "Okay, what does your gut say?"

Halle- "Please be honest."

Carissa- "Um, well, to run."

Alex- "Then why the heck are you going out with him?"

Carissa- "My gut could be wrong."

Halle- "Carissa, please trust your instincts."

 

The ladies talk awhile longer, then say goodnight.
