Dana had finished getting ready and joined Alice in the lounge, sitting next to her on the sofa. She looked at her and just said wow as she looked wonderful. Alice had put on her black A-line skirt that finished just above the knee and a red short sleeved tie-neck blouse. Dana said that she still looked hot and sexy despite going for a refrained, conservative look, and winked. Alice said that was the look she was going for, she didn’t want to offend her mother! Just as there was a knock at the door, Alice got up and said for Dana to get the door while she went and got her purse, then bent to whisper in Danas` ear, that didn’t necessarily mean she had on any underwear. Danas` mouth dropped open and she wolf-whistled, thinking how lucky she was to have this woman in her life. She got up slightly weak kneed and opened the door to find her mother there.

Dana – “Hey mother, oh they are wonderful.”

Sharon – “She looked down at the bunch of arranged flowers and said yes, they were actually for Alice.”

Alice was stood behind Dana and looked over her shoulder.

Alice – “Oh Sharon, erm thanks.”

Sharon – “They are just a little thank you from me to you for getting me and my daughter back together and talking again. It was wonderful of you, and thank you for welcoming us into your beautiful home too.”

Alice – “You are all more than welcome! It is a pleasure for me to meet you all too. And just to see Dana so happy at having you all back in her life is more than the thanks I need.”

Sharon – “Oh you are such a sweet girl, come on lets go, I absolutely love this restaurant.” She took Alices` arm in hers and they walked off arm in arm, both chatting away.

Dana had spent the whole time shocked but beaming with joy at the relaxed interaction between her Alice and her mother. She was surprised at her mother but then considering how everyone loved Alice she guessed she should have known she would get into her mothers affections given time. Alice stopped and looked around and shouted come on to Dana, they had reservations, get moving, to which Dana heard her mother chuckling.
