Dana looked around the caf while she waited for Alice. She flung her hair back and took a drink of her tea. She looked up and saw Alice coming towards her. She smiled softly as she watched her best friend walk to her. She used to remember how things used to be. She shook her head and knew they wouldn’t be together again. She had Eva, and Alice was happily married. Alice smiled and took a seat at the table.

“I’m glad that you came.”

Dana smiled softly. “Well, you sounded a little anxious on the phone. What’s up?”

Alice pushed her hair out of her face. “It’s Gabby, she won’t stop. I saw her here earlier today, and she asked me out.”

“What did you say?” Alice looked at Dana and then looked away. “You didn’t say yes, did you Al?”

“I had to, I didn’t want her to be stalking me. I needed to do it to get her off my back.”

Dana grabbed her cup. “What did Jordana have to say about this?”

“She told me to go for it, but at first she was really upset. I told her it wasn’t a big deal. It’s still a chapter in my life I need to close.” Dana nodded as she took a drink of her tea.

“Maybe it’s best for you guys to have dinner and talk. You guys need to make amends.”

Alice smiled. “I knew I could count on you.”

“You always can.” They both looked at each other and smiled. Dana reached over and grabbed Alice’s hand and rubbed it. Alice looked down and back up at Dana. They both began to lean forward, but Alice stopped.

“We can’t do this.”

Dana sat down in her seat and sighed. “You’re right. I’m sorry about that.”

Alice laughed softly. “No, it’s fine. But I think I better get going though.”

“Yeah me too, but I’ll see you tomorrow night at Shane’s opening of WAX right?”

“Of course, right after my date with Gabby. I’ll be there.” They both got out of their seats and gave each other a hug. Alice closed her eyes and sighed. Dana looked around and held Alice tight. They pulled away, and Alice began to walk away. She waved at Dana, and Dana waved back. Dana sighed and finished the rest of her tea. She put a few dollars on the table and walked out.
