    Crossroads- Ch. 12

    As they approached the entrance to Lara’s apartment, Alice asked suddenly. "So, the doctor was pretty sure that the fainting was caused by lack of food today?"

    Lara chewed her lip for a moment. She recalled Dr. Wang’s advice regarding her significant weight loss. "Yes." She replied simply. After all she reasoned to herself, there’s no sense in worrying Alice needlessly about my own difficulties with handling grief. She could almost feel the weight of the list of counselors in her pocket. She’d contact someone first thing on Monday.

    "That’s a relief." Alice’s smile was quickly replaced with a frown. "But, wait, you still haven’t eaten today! How are you feeling?"

    "They fed me juice and crackers to get my blood sugar up. So, I’m doing fine. Although, I have to admit, a pizza sounds like a great idea right about now."

    "I’ll call for delivery as soon as we get you settled."

    As they let themselves into the entrance hallway, Lara’s neighbor, Sara, cracked open her door. In a voice barely above a whisper, she asked, "Lara? You okay?"

    Lara smiled, and stepped closer to the door. "I’m fine, Sara…just a broken wrist. I’m so sorry for earlier. I know that must have been nerve wracking. You did great with the ambulance. Thank you for helping me."

    Sara smiled through the crack. "I’m glad you’re okay. I’ll see you tomorrow. Bye."

    Lara managed a quick, "Bye, Sara." before the door closed.

    Alice witnessed the odd interaction without comment. As Lara led the way upstairs, she acknowledged Alice’s quizzical expression. "Sara’s an agoraphobe. She really went outside her comfort zone by waiting for the ambulance."

    "Ahh. She must care about you a lot, then." Alice recalled the damp washcloth the woman had fetched, as well as the fact that she’d also been the one to call for the ambulance.

    Lara shrugged. "We’ve been neighbors for several years now. Occasionally we exchange recipes and dishes. She’s a great person….just a bit unique."

    Alice smiled. She doubted that Lara considered the fact that most people didn’t even know their neighbor’s name, much less exchange dishes with a social recluse. She shook her head. Lara’s gentleness and compassion was all the more attractive because of the humble manner in which it was offered. Those kind acts triggered a domino effect, which empowered others to react in kind. Sara’s acts of concern were a good example.

    1. Dy-no-mite! Bliss, sigh, so freaking cute but in a good way, not a cheesy way. Believable as always. Love it. Thanks for the update, please continue as soon as you can. Sending you happy vibes…

    2. wow i have had the crappiest day from school work to pulling muscles in my wrist again in volleyball, and you just made my friggen day!!! please post more soon!! god im love a happy lace!!

    3. I hope Lara is right and that Bette and Tina are acting like a couple because that’s what they have decided to do….and try to forget about Henry.

    4. This stroy is amazing. Every part gets better and better. I love that even when Alice and Lara are being cute you still manage to keep an underlying sexual tension. Love this story and can’t wait for next part

    5. Aren’t they the most adorable couple? Too much cuteness to have in one relationship. :P I had to laugh at Lara’s cd collection, I’m just as random as these two seem to be. I do have this feeling there will be some drama soon. Lara’s still not better. And they still need to deal with Dana’s death and everything that came out of it. Looking forward to the next chapter!

    6. That was sooo cute! I love happy Lace!! The ending was the most adorable thing ever – Lara’s “Yup! So are you!” was great. It’s so nice to see them being completely at ease with each other; no one deserves happiness on the show more than these two. Of course, I have to agree with JazzyS – they still have a few things to work out (hopefully together!), including Lara’s illness and their shared grief over Dana. I’m looking forward to seeing how it all plays out. Thanks again for this consistently entertaining story!
