    Beaten, Working Toward Recovery Chapter 7

    Dana removed her hands for Alice’s and went back to unloading her groceries. “I hope you’re right about this.” Alice couldn’t help but feel comfort from the concern she received from Dana. She knew when it came to Dana, she never had to worry about her intentions, as a best friend Dana had always gone beyond what she could have ever expected. Dana cared about her, and would always be there for her. “I think I am but if it gets to hard, or you see it’s starting to effect me negatively, let me know and I’ll stop working on the article, I promise. So Dane, what can I do to help you cook?”

    Dana was thrilled Alice asked to help, because even though Dana loved to cook, she hated making salads. While she was growing up her mother would either make her do the salad to go along with the meal, or clean the kitchen after the meal. Dana always chose to make the salad, because cleaning up to Sharon’s standards was a job that many really good maids couldn’t even do, so she sure didn’t want the job.

    Sharon felt her children needed some type of job to remind then while they were growing up that everyone has to work, and not everything is handed to you. So her job was usually making the salads.

    When Dana asked Alice to make the salad, then told her the reason why she hated making salads. She could see Alice’s eyes become large and wet. “What did I say?”

    Alice looked down toward the tomatoes she was chopping for the salad, embarrassed at her sudden out burst of emotions. But she couldn’t help it, not one time in her life did she ever cook or make a salad with her mom. When Lenora did cook which wasn’t often, she usually didn’t want her children around so she could finish quickly, and move on to more important things. “Your mom really loved you didn’t she?”

    Dana just looked at Alice wondering why a story about doing chores would equal love to her. “Yes she did.” After Dana placed the seasoned salmon on a pan for baking. She started laughing, “Alice, if you think giving chores means someone cares, my bathrooms need a good cleaning.” As she placed the salmon in the oven she looked back at her friend. “The oven need a good going over also.” She started laugher harder when she felt a piece of carrot hit the back of her head. She then looked back at Alice seeing the smile she had missed, the one that showed all her teeth and showed in her eyes.

    1. Good job, Deb. You’ve articulated Alice’s struggle so well, I feel for her and Dana too of course. Can’t wait to see what happens when Alice do move out.

    2. This feels like the Alice I remember from the first season, and parts of the second season. As for Dana, I wonder if she has started to realize how she feels about Alice yet. Their friends recognize the love, but I see both women using the attack to account for their increased awareness of each other. This has been an amazing night – updates by you, dreiser AND layla_gray. You folks are all awesome.
