Alice woke up and slowly became aware that she was not in her bed. As she took in the familiar surroundings of the room around her, she noticed that she had a pain in her neck. Sleeping on the sofa during the day was never as comfortable as it had been when she had had Dana’s body to cushion her own.
She sat up and noticed the card which had fallen on the floor. She picked it up and placed it with the other opened contents of the package. Sitting there, she debated whether to get up and make something to eat or to forge ahead and open the other box. She was startled from her thoughts by the phone ringing.
“Hello?”
“Alice, hey it’s me.”
The first response Tasha’s voice elicited was a smile, soon though as the events of the last few days returned to the fore-front of her mind, she began to feel a sense of dread. She was hurtling towards a point where these two distinctly separate portions of her life were going to have to come together. Despite the passage of time her emotions regarding Dana were still raw, and there remained a lot to process. The fence she had erected in her mind however, which allowed her to have a relationship with Tasha without tarnishing her memory of Dana was starting to break down. Alice understood that if she intended to pursue a serious relationship with the soldier she would have to take the fence down altogether, she just wasn’t quite there yet.
“Alice? Are you still there?”
Tasha’s voice disturbed her reverie and Alice suddenly remembered the phone in her hand and the voice at the other end of it.
“Hey, sorry, yeah I’m here. It’s so good to hear your voice again. How come you’re able to call again so soon?”
“Ok Alice, now don’t panic, but I’m in Germany.”
“Germany? Why would that make me panic? I mean I know it’s not top of your holiday destinations lists, but surely it’s better than being in Iraq? I mean…”
Tasha laughed gently
“Alice”
She interrupted knowing Alice’s assessment could go on and on
“Oh shit, sorry you probably can only talk for a few minutes, what were you going to say?”

“You are my one true love and that transcends everything.” A should get some comfort from that strong statement. She had said in S3E2 during group therapy that their love was too intense and D would be back. Thank you wonderingaloud for acknowledging it. I do not want to see your story coming to an end because it will mean no more looking back at the precious memories of D which you have so creatively written. This chapter is again incredibly well crafted. I love the infinity necklace story. Absolutely touching! I am going to say the “innocuous object” is her winning medal from her Mercedes tournament. As always, thank you for giving us the opportunity that was denied. Thank you!
It’s good that Tasha is so patient and can give Alice the space she needs. The gift was apt, and I’m glad that Dana got to give it, even posthumously, to the person she loved. The last layer, I hope whatever is in it, Alice can accept. Awesome chapter, thanks for the post.
Again that was some wicked amazing writing. I am glad that Tasha is coming back, she has that strong calmness about her that can help Alice sort through this.
Argh! What’s in the last layer?! OK. I’ll be patient. Have you posted, yet? ;-D I was a bit concerned when I read the summary. I am glad to see Alice is OK — or at least not being given too much more than she can handle. I am not big on Alice/Tasha (did you hear I’m a Danish shipper?), but, I have to admit, I like how Tasha is handling everything and that Alice is being so open in discussing what is going on. Again — loved the flashback. I’m glad to hear there is more to the story. Thanks so much for the great update, wonderingaloud!
oooh suspense suspense I see. Good one, now you made me uber curious. lol I really love your flashbacks, the more the better wonderingaloud ;) And I’m glad to know that this Tasha is understanding to Alice’s situation. That was really nice. I like Tasha a lot… okay fine I love her too but somehow I just see Alice and Dana together. I know she passed away but I guess I always will see them together, I’m a Danish shipper too, I like the others, especially Tibette but my heart’s with Danish. hehe kinda hit’s close to home, well anyway another awesome chapter from you. But nah, i don’t think I’m gonna try writing anything soon but thanks for he encouragement. Thanks for this, S
You’re too good, you know that? This, like the rest of them, is just incredible. And please don’t ever worry that I’ll stop reading. Just because I’m not a Tibetter doesn’t mean I don’t love your writing. It’s good enough to have me interested in Bette and Tina, and that’s quite a feat. As to not giving up the dream…I try not to, but sometimes it seems like everyone else has. But anyway, this one made me cry. I’m so glad Alice is able to talk to Tasha about what she needs, and while I (like Alice) am sad that this is the last layer, I can’t wait to see what it is. You’re amazing, don;t ever think otherwise.
OMG.. incredible and YES I BELIVE IN BETTE AND TINA ALWAYS!!LOL. the flashbacks in this story fill in the gaps wonderfully… i’m anxiously awaiting the bette and tina talk in the story and in S5 my gosh don’t most couple evidently talk? great update!
I freaking love this story. It is simply amazing. I can’t imagine what Dana has in the bottom of that box. Other then a trophy from the Mercedes Benz challange
