A/N: Character death. This is part of a series of L Word drabbles I'm currently working on.

It's on cold nights like this that I regret the actions of my youth. When I'm all alone in my apartment, lying in a double bed with no warm body beside me. Not ten years ago I could have had anyone lying beside me, young, beautiful and energetic woman lined up for me to have them. Now, in my late forties I am alone in bed, I'm not the player I once was. I'm just a lonely old woman, clinging to a reputation that no longer matters. Carmen's dead and the old Shane went with her a long time ago.
