... and split, before the ice cream even started to melt. Surely they couldn't have run out of positions already; what made them go from sizzling hot to day-old bread?

Let's see. Two sexy young and not-so-young folks, both strong-willed and self-centered. It wasn't a random hook-up; they've known each other for years. Kate was just stomping Butterscotch's heart into the dirt again; Lance was freelancing since dumping Sheryl Crow. Something happened to change all that. I'd bet significant amounts of alcohol were a factor.

They went at it fast and furious, and really didn't try too hard to hide while refusing to admit they were dating. Some say it was to minimize the salt in Owen's wounds, but I think they both just knew it wouldn't last very long. Sure enough, three months later they've called it quits.

What happened? It couldn't have been anything major; they're being far too amicable for that. They probably either figured out that besides sex they had nothing in common ... or that they were too much alike to make it work. Some people just can't compromise.
