Alice woke up and sighed again when she realized that Dana’s side of the bed was empty. It had only been about a week since Dana had gone to the hotel to take some time to herself, but Alice was pretty sure she’d never get used to the other side of the bed being cold in the mornings. Something about it just seemed wrong.
She was still grumbling about it when Helena showed up, citing a cooking conundrum as her reason for being there. "The kitchen at the condo just won’t hold anymore food…I have three different appetizers going over there and I need space to get started on the main course," she rambled, trying to keep her hair out of her face. Alice took one look at her in her sweatpants with her hair frizzing out in every direction and started laughing. Helena did not look pleased.
"Sure, go to town. I think the oven got lonely since Dana’s been gone," Alice told her wistfully. Helena softened.
"She hasn’t come home yet? Not even to visit?"
"Nah, but it’s okay. We agreed it was probably better if she didn’t pop in all the time…makes it more of a real separation. Plus, I think if she kept coming over it’d make her feel guilty, and that’s really not what she needs right now." Alice tried to say it nonchalantly, but it was more than obvious it was hurting her. Helena walked over and gave her a hug.
"Darling, I really don’t think she intended it to be a separation from you…" she started softly, but Alice just shook her head.
"No, I know that. I didn’t word that very well. I know it’s not about us as much as it’s about her, and she’s right. She does need some time to just be by herself. When it comes right down to it, I probably do too. It’s just hard."
"Of course it is, but that’s only because you’re so invested in one another. It’s going to be all right. You know it will, don’t you?" Helena asked, rubbing Alice’s back gently.
Alice just pulled away from the hug and gave her a shaky smile. "Totally. I mean, I know she needs this. She’s needed it for a long time. Still, like I said, it’s hard. Anyway, enough of that. Let’s get your food going."

Thirty-seven chapters, and still going strong!
that was really cute. it wasn’t really a date but it kinda was since they are not staying at the same place, but that is one thing that i wish we saw on the show. dana and alice going on dates rather than jumping into a relationship. you know? but anyway – great update. i love that phyliss is keeping dana up at night talking about her girlfriend. haha.
Nice…I, too, find it funny that Phyllis is calling Dana talking about Alice…I also love that Dana can’t stay away from Alice…Alice seems to be handling it okay…Can’t wait for the real Reunion when Dana comes home for good! (MT-I sent you two PMs, just wanted to know) PPS!
Hey lady how’s it going? Do not fear I am still reading and still loving this story, its the best out there right now hun. Sorry I’ve been MIA, I’ll tell you about it soon. Awesome post MT cant wait for the next. xxx
Yay – Glad that Al and Dana are all snuggly again, at least to some degree! Poor Dana having to put up with Phyllis, weirdo. Oh and Dylan back in Helena’s picture sounds interesting. Not so sure about the Jenny and Shane coupling tho. All kinds of possibilities. Nice little chappy MT!
First comment ever and I had to give it to you. I love this story just sat and read it from the start was totally hooked. Can’t wait for an update xx
I love your story – I started reading it a while ago, your doing a great job with it! PPS :)
Talking, nuzzling, kissing–all are important ingredients in a happy Danish relationship. I like the fact that the end of the chapter reveals that at least part of the reason Dana isn’t sleeping is Alice’s absence. Dylan might be making an appearance. Yay! I really enjoyed the additional glimpse into Al’s childhood. It reminded me of that scene in S2 where Alice described her father as “distant,” and then Dana looked at her. I always thought that was a topic that Dana would have followed up on with Al as their relationship deepened. I’m glad you’re letting us see glimpses of Alices past so that we can get to know her better. Good chapter, MutedT. Good luck on your search for “girl company.” :)
Very sweet. Thanks for leaving my brain in solid form this time. I still love your writing.PPS.
aww, these two can’t stay apart for a long time. And that’s pretty understandable in my book, lol. I also liked the phyliss part, funny in a sad kind of way, lol. And…still love your story!
