Kerry quickly threw her hands up in protest, “Wow, that is so not what happened. Alice here was to busy balancing her drinks to notice she was about to walk right in front of me, so I tried to dodge the impact, but wound up stumbling over her foot.”

“Well at least my drinks were safe.” Alice received a gentle slap on the arm from the doctor.

The seven women had been sitting around the table chatting and eating lunch for over an hour when Tina glanced up from her plate and saw Dana making her way into The Planet. The chocking sound the blonde made drew Bette’s attention and when she spotted the cause of Tina’s coughing she quickly looked at Alice. The writer was too busy discussing Kerry’s new puppy to notice the commotion, but the art director saw Kerry’s eyes grow wide with recognition as she stared at the front counter.

At first the doctor wasn’t sure if the woman was in fact Dana, but she did notice the strong resemblance the woman held to the pictures Alice had shown her of the tennis player, but her suspicions were confirmed when Tina and Bette reacted to the woman’s presence.

Kerry quickly turned her attention to Alice and leaned in, so she could whisper in her ear Alice’s gaze darted towards the counter and her face grew pale as she made eye contact with Dana.

Shane, Carmen, and Jenny turned in their seats to see what was causing Alice’s frantic expression. Shane began to stand up in an attempt to defuse the situation.

Alice knew what hairstylist was going to do and quickly put a stop to it, “Wait, I need to do this, Shane.”

The writer rose from her chair and began to make her way towards Dana.

Dana was frozen with one hand tightly gripping her coffee and the other hanging loosely at her side. She saw Alice get out of her seat, but she was having a hard time registering that the blonde was actually headed in her direction. By the time she completely understood the situation Alice was standing in front of her.

“Dana”

The tennis player opened her mouth to say something, but she had momentarily forgotten how to speak.
