The next thing Shelby heard was the unmistakable voice of Shane McMahon. She didn't want any confrontation tonight by any means, so she just decided to play it cool and see what happened.

"Shelby, I didn't know you were in town."

"Well, I wasn't going to miss my best friend's birthday, and I pretty much had no choice seeing as that Princess always sees to it she gets her way."

"I agree there. What's on the menu tonight sis?"

"Actually, its Shelby's favorite: Vegetable lasagna."

"Should be good. I am starving."

The family went on chit chatting, while Shelby decided to remain to herself. Finally, Vince asks her if there were any problems.

"Shelby, you're awfully quiet over there. Everything ok sweetie?"

"Yea I'm fine. Just curious about something is all."

"What might that be?"

"I don't mean to be ruining the mood, but I can't help but wonder where the Q.B.O.T.U. is."

Stephanie almost choked on her bite of lasagna when Shelby made that comment.

"I beg your pardon?"

"Shane, where is your shadow?"

"What do you mean Shelby?"

"Oh come on. The last time I was here, Marissa wouldn't let you out of her sight for a second, especially around me. What gives?"

"Stephanie, make her be quiet."

"What's the matter Shane? I am only asking where your wife is. Usually, if she knows you're going to be around me she is watching your every move."

"Someone please shut her up!"

"OK, now that you've gone and gotten rude about the entire thing, I think I can do the same. Excuse me if I didn't expect you here tonight. Excuse me if you get antsy when I mention the wifey because in all honesty, I don't want to deal with her drama tonight. I came here for a vacation because I have had the last two weeks from hell, and here I am encountering more of it. If you three will excuse me, I am just going to go to my room so I don't ruin Stephanie's great dinner."

With that, Shelby practically runs away from the table upstairs and slams the door. Shane then stands up and goes to grab his jacket.

"Just where do you think you're going Shane?"

"I am going to go on home seeing as that I have ruined everyone's night."

"Oh no you don't! You are not leaving my house until you get up there and apologize to her."

"What? Me apologize? For what?"

"For being out of line, that's what."

"She was the one who had to rub it in that Marissa isn't here. She had to rub it in that my marriage failed. She should be the one to apologize."

"Shane, she doesn't even know about the divorce. She doesn't know anything about it."

"Why didn't you tell her?"

"Considering that when I talked to her, was the day her entire company was given notice that they don't have a job, and it took me hell to even convince her to come here, I didn't think then was the right time for gossip. So pardon me if she doesn't know ever minute detail of your life."

"Oh man. She didn't know. Gee, now I really do feel like an asshole here. I am going to go home."

"No Shane!" Vince said as he entered the foyer. "

"You are going up there, and don't even try to come down until things are right between the two of you."

"I'll go and try, but that doesn't mean she'll talk to me."
