After laughing at Angelica stories and her timing concerning Bette’s wardrobe, and everyone giving advice to Shane and Carmen about how to come out to Carmen’s parents. The group decided it was time for everyone to head to work or whatever they had plan for the day.

Alice started picking up her own laptop, having planed at first to have Dana drop her off at the magazine but she change her mind realizing what a pain it would be for Dana to have to come back to pick her up before going to see Jacq. “Dana, why don’t I go with you to the club? I can work in the clubhouse while you practice. It would save us a lot of time if we did that.” Dana liked the idea of Alice’s going with her so she was more then happy to agree. “Sure Al, that would be great.”

WEST HOLLYWOOD COUNTRY CLUB

Alice had closed her laptop for a while now. She was sitting at a window that gave her a perfect view of Dana practicing and she couldn’t help but watch. Dana was such a walking contradiction, away from the court she was somewhat shy and awkward but on the court she was aggressive, graceful, and self-assured. She was just beautiful to watch, not only because she was blessed with a beauty that many would die for but few possessed. It was also because she moved beautifully. Though Dana was as strong and fit as most of the top ranked women, she moved with grace and class that a lot of other players didn’t possess. Beauty in motion was how Alice saw her friend.

By the time Dana finished practicing and had showered and changed, Alice had started writing her article. After a lot of thought and contemplation Alice had decided her article was going to be about the effects of hate crime on the victim and the people around them. She had decided to include some of her own journal in the article and hopefully some of Dana’s. She knew she had a following of fans, not an over abundant amount, but a few, and if she could reach one person or help one person she felt it might put some meaning into what happen to her.
