Dana was off a bit tonight. She was this touch feely – Im going to follow you everywhere you go person. Like when I stopped walking, BAM – there she was and shed walk into me. Not exactly her normal style and I tend to like her normal style. I think it has to do with the conversation earlier. Shes probably trying to make me feel more comfortable. Maybe this would be a good time to test Bettes theory, talk like a friend. Im thinking a chat about how that is not the way to reassure me, its the way to aggravate the ***** out of me. I might want to reconsider how I say that. I need to think on that one.
Were almost back to her condo. We make sure to stay at her place at least once a week. Its sort of odd, we stay at my place, which is way smaller than her place most of the time. But we always spend at least one night at her place. Sort of an unspoken way of saying, hey there is a reason we are paying for two places we use both. We can have alone time, not that we do. But it works. I still cant believe I asked her to move in with me on a whim. That had to have been one of my dumber moves and Ive had a few. The fact that the mouse didnt die that day from asphyxiation is a testament to modern medicine.
As we pull onto her block, she takes her hand from my leg, where it has sat the entire ride, like I said, she is touch feely – Im going to follow you around person. Al, I totally didnt even ask. Did you want to come back to my place?
She looks up at me with these sad, nervous eyes. Like I could say no to that look. I am convinced she knows what look to give to get the response she wants. She plays it off like she doesnt always get it, but the girl is much smarter than she lets on.
No, can you drive me home please? Im really tired I say, straight faced, at least until I see her face fall. Im telling you, she knows the looks to give and when.

I know I already told you this but it can’t be said enough. Nobody writes Alice better than you, I would gladly take your version of Danish over the one on TV. You have just made my day.
There was a lot that I liked about this chapter, but I’m just going to comment on the three I loved best.
1. in the recap from the last chapter with the Alice POV of how people get over the novelty of her quickly. Aw.
2. The Dana being more touchy feely than usual. Yes! So spot-on. Dana is the less touchy-feely person whereas Alice IS more tactile. I loved that
3. “You gave that back to me” and that entire discussion on Dana’s childhood home lacking warmth and Alice’s insecurities about her ability to be a good mother.
There was more, and I’ll probably go back and comment more on that, but eh, this is it for now. And thanks for the comment in my journal!
Sulkygeek – thank you – and I so stole the Bette in dirty clothes from you – but I loved it and had to use it. Sorry!
I feel like I’m reading Alice’s journal right now…the way that way you portray Alice is perfect. Her words, thoughts, insecurities, strengths, actions–it’s absolutely Alice.
My favorite line is, “I wish you could see yourself through my eyes for just a minute. You’d never doubt yourself again.” I’ve always thought that to be true in life. Possibly the best portrayal of Danish–Showtime should hire you. Post soon!!
I love this story. I look forward to your updates. How I wish we would see something similar to this in S3 (never hurts to wish, even though the other writers have me liking the Helacious!). Thanks for giving us a version of Danish without the spoiler issues. Great writing.
you are the best fanfic writer of all time – please post soon. and drowning too. i am addicted to your stories.
I couldnt stay away any longer, I had to read this chapter! This story is so much fun, I love Alice’s thoughts. “She’s handy that way.” For some reason that one had me cracking up lol.
“dana doesn’t need any glasses.” No but you know she’d look hot in them. :P
You never disappoint me, ever in angs chapters. For my happiness this is not the case, beautiful. Thanks. And I agree people do dumb things a lot, but I need to believe in the humanity :P, that is called utopia and I know IC doesn’t know it, but for that exist the fanfiction.
Loved it, especially Dana’s speech at the end.
love the way you ended the chapter with alice accepting dana’s love and how dana is there just innocently loving her. dang insecurities. thanks for sharing the song too, it’s really nice. you’re doing great and this is one of the stories i really look forward to reading updates on. love it!
Wow, lucia, I thought you couldn’t better the last chapter, but you did! The way you write Alice’s POV is awesome, so apprehensive and cutting. It’s really well-observed and beautifully written. Thanks for posting.
