DANA’S CONDOMINIUM
It was late by the time Dana entered her home, she was tired and she wasn’t happy about the fact Alice had decided to move out. She understood Alice’s need to regain her independence, but she still couldn’t help but miss her. She walked back toward the bedrooms taking a minute to look in her guest bedroom. Before Alice left she had change everything back to how it was originally and though Dana had chosen the linens that were now on the bed, she thought it looked sterile and wished Alice’s stuff was still on there.
She walked in a sat on the bed picking up the pillow and smelling it. Though Alice had changed the pillowcase, it still smelled of Alice. Dana pick the pillow up and carried it down the hall to her own bedroom hoping that by having Alice’s scent close to her it would help her sleep.
She laid in her bed staring at the ceiling realizing sleep wasn’t going to come tonight, she wasn’t ready for the separation and she should have put her foot down. She knew what Alice was trying to accomplish but she wasn’t ready for this and she doubted Alice was either. Dana picked up the pillow that smelled like Alice and walked into the living room thinking maybe if she watched some TV it would help her fall asleep.
When she looked at the clock she noticed it was after 1am, ‘I wonder how Alice is doing?’ she thought. She picked up the phone to call but thought better of it realizing if Alice was sleeping the only thing she would accomplish would be to wake Alice up and that wouldn’t help Alice even if it would make her feel better.
Dana channel surfed until she found an old movie to watch, laying her head down into the pillow as she felt sleepy as last.
Dana was awaken by the sound of her phone ringing, at first she wasn’t quite sure what she was hearing but after waking up she reached and pick up the phone. Looking at the clock on the VCR, she noticed it was a little after 2am.
It was Alice and she was hysterical, well not quite hysterical more like panicked, and all Dana knew was she had to get to her and get to her quick.
