Alice decided to try and do something special for Dana to attempt to thank her, in some small way, for all that she has done.
Alice went to the store and picked up some stuff for dinner. Dana normally took care of the food and Alice really wanted to surprise her. One of the only good things to come out of her relationship with Jackie was that Alice actually learned how to cook some things. There was no way she make any of Jackie’s favorites for Dana — or probably ever again. Learning those recipes came at a high price. But she knew Dana’s taste and dietary restrictions and felt she could put together something nice. Maybe a nice stir fry with chicken and fresh veggies…
Dana came back from a meeting at close to 6. She figured they could order in tonight, since it was a bit late to start dinner. Then she caught a whiff of a delicious aroma coming from the kitchen. She literally followed her nose to the kitchen and found Alice doing something over by the stove.
“Hey, Al.”
Alice flinched at her voice and Dana inwardly cursed herself for not making more noise coming in so as not to surprise the writer. She saw Alice visibly relax once she realized it was Dana.
“I’m sorry, honey, did you get hungry and go ahead and order something?” Dana’s mouth was literally watering at this point. She had lunch, but, that was a long time ago and this food smelled great. She gave Alice a quick peck on the cheek before sitting down at the table.
“I thought I would make you dinner. Pretty stupid, huh.” Alice said in a self-deprecating manner as she prepared two plates of food. “You were dating a professional chef. How can anything I make compete with that? I just wanted to try and thank you for how much you have done for me…”
Dana was almost in tears. She was so moved that Alice did this for her and that Alice felt strong and secure enough to do it. This seemingly simple act of making dinner told Dana volumes about how well Alice was progressing in getting over the trauma she endured.
“Alice?” She waited until Alice looked up. “I am seriously starving and if you don’t sit down soon I will eat all my food and yours, too.” Alice blushed, smiled and sat down across from Dana. She had bought a bottle of viognier and poured two glasses. She hoped the wine would compliment meal.
Both girls fell into comfortable conversation about their days as they ate. Alice could not help but notice how much Dana really enjoyed the meal. She had three servings and also kept stealing water chestnuts from Alice’s plate. Dana confessed that dating a professional chef wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. She was questioned during and after meals about what worked and what didn’t. It was like being a test subject. She enjoyed having the chance to just enjoy food for being food.
“That was amazing, Alice! Thank you so much.” Alice glowed under the praise. “But please don’t feel you have to make me dinner every night.” Alice’s smile faded slightly and then came back in full force when Dana added “Maybe that’s something we can plan and do together? It looks like you could teach me some things.”
“I’d love that, Dane.”

Hello MaGoose, well if that is one of your weakest chapters I have a thing or two to learn that was so good. The emotions that you portray are so rich and so heartfelt. Both these two are on the same wave length and that is felt throughout your story. I love that Alice choose to make dinner for the two of them, she really needs to learn to love herself and with Dana’s help she will get there. Dana needs to step up and show Alice what she means to her, Alice’s reflection of this situation could bring this to a boiling point as she feels like she is taking advantage of Dana and she is nothing of the sort to Dana. Absolutely love this story. Sincerely, JC
*Nods happily* 3 and A HALF actually *puffs out chest importantly* I have a very nice handling of machinery such as computers for my age and a well developed vocabulary too =) that is probably one of my favourite Alice quotes that or the “who came up with peeper?” sequence XD. I don’t think my socks want to come back =( they’re probably frolicking through some green pastures right about now (that introduces some entertaining mental pictures). Great chap chappy ;) I WANT I WANT I WANT AN ALICE =( and her whole safe for sex thing, mhhhmmmmmm hanky panky on the horizons me thinks i do…not that a three year old knows what that is…..PPS gigglebudddddddy!
If Alice ask about having sex she is mending. body and soul She knows that Dana loves her and she love her as well.
this was another “awww” chapter, and really, if you consider that weak…I don’t even know what to tell you aside from your version of a weak chapter blows mine out of the water. I’m glad that Alice is healing so much. The simple fact that she asked about her ability to have sex is a great sign, I just hope Jackie doesn’t come along and spoil it. The cooking thing was adorable, and I think Dana and Alice cooking together would be a great way to solidify their bond. Very, very sweet chapter.
WEAK?? Tht wasnt weak by any stretch of the imagionation lol!!! Another reli well done touching chapter. With some exciting new prospects with Alice gettin healing more and more by the day lol. Cant wait for ur next post keep up ur great work!! :) x
so sweet. loved it. more please?
Me thinks you need a new dictionary because that was so not the meaning of weak! Great chap, good to see Alice slowly coming around…..my salmon is “to die for” do you prefer it grilled or poached? And I so didn’t know that there was a loose uncapped wire hanging from the fan unit in the freezer, I’m ‘shocked’ I tell you (hehe 3 down)
very sweet chapter!! so happy for alice…great work!!
The therapy seems to be working for both of them. Alice’s taking 2 steps forward and almost 1 step back. As a man who saw a shrink for most of his life, I can easily say that this is 95% real.
Swoons and falls even more in love with your story** I love them so much. They make me all happy. Magoose you are a mastermind. I want you to have my babies…Wait sorry wrong quote. I want to kill jackie with a sharp peice of Kryptonite. Sorry I am on a super hero binge. L word and super hero. Dana dressed as wonder woman. Imagine that. Sorry LOVE YOU GOOSE
There’s something to be said for not getting to read for a while and then having 2 chapters of your favourite stories to catch up on. I loved them both. The tentatvie steps these two are making back towards each other are so cute. Slowly but surely Dana is reinstating Alice’s confidence and the old Alice that we know and love will emerge. I can’t wait!
WOW how sweet was alice to make dinner for dana!!! :)
This chapter sets up so many things so strongly, both in terms of Alice’s healing and the new and growing bond between Dana and Alice. Since they shouldn’t even try to recpature what they had, the only thing that makes sense is for them to move ahead, no matter how slowly…and the everyday things absolutely become the important milestones. Well done…looking forward to more “weak” chapters –so long as they’re just like this.
cuteness… me likey… more please… please
I want to make Dana dinner!!! I’m glad to see Alice coming back to the ‘real’ world. I love seeing the interaction between them and i hope it gets better, seeing as how it is safe for ‘sex’..YAY!!!
