While she’d fallen asleep easily, Dana had trouble staying that way. She knew it was stupid to be afraid; after all, it wasn’t like she was preparing for anything too big. Sure, lunch with Lance Armstrong was certainly important, even moreso now than it would have been at any other time. The more she thought about it, the more she tried to convince herself to lighten up and go back to sleep. She was just meeting the guy, after all. It didn’t have to be a big deal…and yet she tossed and turned about it, unable to calm down.
As much as she knew the ESPN special would be a way of jumping back into some kind of career, it scared her. Granted, she’d been wanting to do that for weeks now, but had held back due to the obvious recovery she’d needed. As loathe as she was to admit it, even to herself, she had to concede that she still wasn’t completely out of the woods. Sure, she was a hell of a lot better by anyone’s standards, but she was still affected by bouts of fatigue and pain. In her heart of hearts, even she could see that she’d never get back to any sort of professional level when it came to athletics. There was just no point in thinking about it; the sheer amount of muscle and ligaments they’d taken from her arm and shoulder pretty much put the kibosh on any thoughts of getting back into it.
That fact didn’t bother her like it had before, though. She knew intuitively that she could still be involved with tennis in some capacity…although what that capacity might be was something she didn’t have the energy to contemplate at the moment. It surprised her how nervous she was about meeting Lance for lunch the next day. Hell, she’d met plenty of celebrities, both in the sporting world and otherwise, and never once had she been anxious like this. She supposed it had a lot to do with it being her first real career-related event since the hospital incident, even if it wasn’t an event directly related to what she’d been doing all her life. But what the hell was she going to talk to him about?

Very Cute! I really love them! Can’t wait to the next post!!! Keep Up The Great Work!
I love this story and I can’t wiat for dana tomake a full recovery pleas post soon great update I love it
Socks and Danish are just too damn cute together! I think that it’s a good thing for both of them to have her around in the grand scheme of things. I also like that Dana is starting to realize that moving forward is not only possible but is right there for the taking, so to speak. Alice just has this way of gently helping her along, which I find so subtly romantic and endearing. I’ve said it before along with many others, this is the way it should be, period. Thanks for staying true to the characters and the story of “You”. Or should it be them? lol!
It’s difficult to comment when everything I wanted to say has already been said. I still love this story, it feeds the hopeless romantic in me. ;) In my eyes these two have the best relationship anyone can ever have. Sigh…
Thank you MT. I have been longing to read another chapter of “You.” I think you should join the L word writers because your storyline is so much better. Dana is alive and fighting the cancer. Most important, she is getting along with Alice and both are willing to work out their problems together. I love to see them being so good to each other. Too bad the show does not recognize it. On top of this, your humor is undeniable. Just love the lines “smothered by a kitten on your face”, “You’re not turning me into a cat person….” and “she’s already trying to commit suicide”. I started reading all Danish fanfics 5 months ago. Finally, starting from yesterday, I got my act to gather to start commenting on the stories. I have been wanting to tell you that your story “Valediction” is one of the most powerful and touching piece I have ever read. I remember while reading it, without knowing, I started tearing nonstop and I sobbed for a good half hour afterwards. Mind you, I am not the type who cries easily. I honestly think you are fantastic with details and the way you describe the scenes. I absolutely enjoy all your stories. Can’t wait for the next chapter and hope Dana’s shoulder will be fine eventually.
very nice!! :)
Another brill chapter MT! I’m not a cat person either but your even turning me to loving little Socks! Really cute stuff and still wish this was the way it really was! :)
im sooo happy you updated i love this story and love the way alice just knows what Dana is thinking and needs! i love it and pps!
Thank you so much for the update! What a great start to the morning. I really love how you blend the serious conversations about how Dana is handling her recovery with the humor surrounding Socks. Please keep up the good work. And, I gotta say, I am going to hold you to some NC-17 in the upcoming chapters (once Dana’s shoulder is feeling better, of course).
Aww well you know how much I heart this story you :) wee socks is so cute and I can totally relate as I have my own and they are mad when they are kittens. Wehey you foiled my idea to buy my mini’s too LOL, but Alice driving in that tunnel would have been a sight. I canny wait for the next chapter babe, spk to you later ;)
