Homecoming Page #2

- Well...

The reason I didn't want to go

to The Alley is 'cause it's like

my ex-girlfriend's restaurant.

She owns it.

Well, her family owned it.

Now she owns it.

- Shelby owns The Alley?

- Yeah.

And, well, I guess...

Billy told me she still

thinks we're together.

- And why would she think that?

- I have no idea.

I haven't even spoken to her in months.

That's weird.

She's not a bad person. She just...

gets a little caught up sometimes.

She's just... intense.

About you?

Look, I can understand that.

Don't worry about a thing.

I've been in her shoes before.

I'll play nice.

Hey, Mike. Shelby seen you yet?

She's gonna be so excited.

I swear, you're all she talks about.

Oh, hi.

She's in the back.

You should go talk to her.

It's probably a good idea.

Just go get it over with.

- I'll go sit with Billy.

- OK. Thanks.

- Hey, hey!

- Hey.

- Hey!

- Hi, guys.

Shel.

Mikey!

Shel, whoa, whoa. Shel! Slow down.

Slow down? Since when does

Mike Donaldson wanna slow down?

- Hey! Whoa, whoa!

- I've missed you so much.

Shelby, no! I can't.

- What do you mean?

- You know what I mean, Shelby.

We broke up. You remember?

After your mom died, I went away

to school. I don't live here anymore.

Any of this ring a bell?

But I've been building

the addition onto the house.

So it's big enough to start a family

like you always said.

Look, I know this is... tough for you.

I left without giving an explanation,

but I didn't know what else to do.

It's OK. I forgive you.

I mean, you had to go off to school,

and I was dealing with all that stuff

with my mom and...

- We can fix this.

- Shelby, you're not listening.

I have a girlfriend.

She's here. She's out there.

Listen, we'll leave.

This was a bad idea. I'm sorry, Shelby.

I shouldn't have come here

to begin with.

Hey, Eddie. What's up?

What? No, no, no. Let's take care

of that when I get back to school.

Eddie? I'm losing you.

Is there anywhere in this town

I can get a decent signal?

- A landline.

- Elizabeth.

- We have to go.

- Really?

Yeah, this was a bad idea.

- Hi, you must be...

- Elizabeth.

- Shelby?

- Yeah. It's nice to meet you.

Wow! Good going, Mikey. She's hot!

I love your place. It's great. I wish we

had something like it back at school.

Thanks. Maybe someday

I'll get to open one up there.

- Yeah.

- Hey, let me get you a drink.

You know what?

We gotta get back to the house.

- Come on, one drink.

- Yeah. One drink. Sounds like fun.

All right. Whatcha drinking?

Whatever you're having, I guess.

Brave girl. Tequila it is then.

Tequila.

Listen, I don't want this to be weird.

So why don't we just say Mike has

really good taste and leave it at that.
