Some days seemed like a throwback to simpler times, when mornings brought anticipation and days only measured times in between being at peace in someone’s arms. Dana stared down at her coffee, following the swirl of cream slowly dissolving.
Shane looked at her friend closely. Dana had been this way for several weeks and Shane was starting to worry.
"Dana, shouldn’t you be off at practice this morning?" Shane mumbled around a coffee stirrer.
When she received no answer, she spoke a little louder. "Dana? Dana."
"I’m quitting tennis."
"Come again?"
Dana finally looked up. She acknowledged Shane’s surprise with a raised eyebrow.
"Did you say you’re quitting? Why?"
Dana muttered something.
"That’s dumb, Dana."
Dana muttered something back.
"I know that, but that’s no reason to quit something you love."
Dana raised her eyes to Shane pointedly.
"That’s different, Dane. Come on."
Dana just shrugged.
"Those are two different things. Tell me you know that." Shane leaned forward and covered Dana’s hand with her own.
"You were the one to advised me to just give up."
"God, that was what, a hundred years ago? Dana, come on."
Dana shrugged again. "Anyway, it was for the best. They’re still together. So, I guess it wasn’t meant to be, right?"
Shane sighed. "Look, when I said what I said, I really thought they wouldn’t last."
"You are such a supportive friend."
"Oh and you thought they’d be all happily ever after and grow old together?"
Dana pushed her coffee cup away and stood up. "It’s no use talking about this. It’s ancient history. And I’m quitting tennis because I don’t want to have surgery for this wrist injury."
"You don’t need to have surgery just yet. Isn’t that what your trainer said?" Shane stood up to follow her friend.
"Yeah. I need to take it easy. Which means I can’t compete in the French this year. And probably all the rest of the big tournaments. Which means my ranking will go way down. But still, I won’t know if this wrist will be well by next year. Shane, I don’t want to wait in limbo," Dana paused and headed out the door of The Planet, "again."
Shane quickly drank down the rest of her coffee and scrambled after Dana. "Those are two different things." She called out when she saw that Dana had already exited the doors.

Thanks for the update. I am so curious about what Tina looks like now. I can’t wait to see what Bette’s reaction is. And poor Alice’s reaction too.
It’s a small, small world.
Oh wow! What a surprise Bette’s going to have. Thank you for this story.
OMG, can hardly wait to see what happens when they see each other again. I just can’t imagine a Tina with short hair like a boi, I guess she would look a lot like Randy Dean. Alice may think Danas houe is too big but when she sees Tina, it will seem as though it is one big room and not nearly large enough. The look of surprise on Bettes face will be priceless. Hope she doesn’t faint. My guess is that she will run away. Can’t wait to see what happens. Let’s get the party on. PPVS. Thanks for posting.
What a small world, now let see Bette reaction!
“B/T, B/A, A/D
I just had to clarify that it’s not that kind of story ;) Various pairings at different time frames, is all.
Heh… My comment got eaten up. Anyway, this is slow burn! I literally can’t wait for the shit to hit the fan when they meet. Also, I think it’s awesome Dana is pining for Alice instead. Stalker Alice really made me sympathize her…
Let’s get this party started! Thanks!!
Wow… That party sounds like it’s going to be awkwaaaaard. And hey, there’s hope for Alice’s heart! Though that whole “she expected them to pull away when she got together with Bette” thing was weird… I thought it had been a more organic falling into a relationship. Anyway, PPS, 7!
Whoo! With Bette meeting Tina again and Alice being stuck with Dana, this house is gonna get a little warm!! hahaha, Thanks! PPS! =)
Dana seems a bit… odd. I dunno if I’m reading hope or excitement or shock or sarcastic consternation or a touch of malicious glee in Dana’s reaction to Tina having returned. I sort of suspect it’s a little of all of that. Dana’s party is going to be quite the do, isn’t it? Maybe it’ll mark the beginning of the return of the “fun” she’s been missing… or maybe it will all be an unmitigated disaster! Great chapter, 7. Thanks :)
such a delightful update…i take pride in thinking of A/D possibility LOL bring it on, can’t wait for the party
