The Gathering 01.79 –  Fallen Pt 2 – Obsessive Observations

A little lightness

            Overview

            The circle of friends had suddenly been thrown into a fractured cell of couples.  Each dealing with their own personal demons and problems spawning from work to their health.  They’d finally come together on an early Sunday morning, congregating around a table catching up with one another.  The coffee flowed freely and the conversation started to flow as well.        

            Marty and Kit seemed to be the only smooth sailing couple of the group Kit having met his children and having gotten a stamp of approval from his daughter.  Kit was still going to AA and counseling and Marty was standing by her no matter what happened.  They were even talking about moving in together but Marty wasn’t pushing.  He was waiting for Kit to say it was time.  He was content to wait.

            Marina and Jenny were also doing well Tim had taken a job in Florida and he’d sold his half of the house to Jenny.  Marina promptly moved in and they were going through the trials of getting use living with each other.  A fight had broken out over how to put the toilet paper on the dispenser leading them to an all out laugh-a-thon when they realized how silly they’d been acting.  Jenny‘s book was also heading for publication in less than a months time.  She was excited; as was Marina.

            Alice and Dana.  Alice had begged to be reinstated as a full time writer, and Allister, her boss had finally broken down and relented allowed her to go back to what she loved.  She was now immersed in a story about Femme vs. Butch dykes in LA.  She was using Shane as her Under The Covers’ agent.  Dana was training hard every day, and doing her rehab with Jayden.  She was scheduled to play a non ranking tournament that following weekend; just to see how she handled the stress and the physical strain.  Their relationship was still on a haphazard tilt; Alice not able to make up her mind if she wanted Dana as her best friend, or her lover.  Dana had given up trying to figure her out; and was content with whatever Alice was willing to give her; for now.
