    Crossroads- Ch. 16

    Bette-

    to building a life together….day by day.

    -t

    Angus smiled as Kit wrapped her arms around him tightly. "Just because." She murmured as she kissed him gently.

    Alice sighed audibly. "And then there are those that are frozen. You know them. A few connections, then something goes wrong. Instead of working it out, they bury themselves in their work, or some civic protest, or they join the Peace Corps. Good people….the best, in fact. But they are so bound up by their fears that their connections just fade, and ultimately disappear."

    Lara swallowed as she sat in her apartment listening to the radio. Closing her eyes, she thought how lonely she felt, and how sweet Alice’s voice was.

    "So, people….the Chart has its limits. But, you know what….we don’t. We can’t let ourselves be controlled by these two dimensional facades of intimacy. Fear is the enemy of us all….and fear is the emotion that keeps us apart too often. All I’m asking is that you think about it. And, you have all weekend to reflect on it…cause, it’s Friday and I’m outta here. Ironically, next up….The Pipettes, with ‘One Night Stand’. Have a good one, LA."

    Alice removed her headphones.

    –**–

    Exiting the studio, Alice was greeted with, "At least three profanity violations."

    Alice nodded. "I know….that’s so much better than yesterday, don’t you think?"

    Ruth couldn’t quite stifle the chuckle. "Good show, Alice."

    Alice continued on to her cubicle and sat at her computer to tidy up some thoughts before she left for the afternoon. As she was sitting there, her Skype chat window flashed up.

    SoupChef: Good show today.

    Alice’s heart leapt. She’d hoped Lara would be listening, but had no idea what the redhead would be doing on her morning off. With a smile she replied.

    Chart Chick: thanks! I’m glad you listened.

    SoupChef: I was wondering….can we talk?

    Alice grinned. Then suddenly she grimaced. What did that mean exactly? Was Lara going to take a giant step forward or backward? Before she could respond, Lara added another comment.

    SoupChef: what I meant to say, actually, was can I talk to you? I think I owe you an explanation for my behaviour the last few days.

    1. gah, who is it!? Probably someone like Gabby. Whoever it is, they need to run off so that Alice can show up and they can be fantastic together. this is going great; pleast post more as soon as you can!

    2. Gaaaah, who the hell? Just when Lara has mustered up the guts to start telling Alice what’s up in Lara-Land. I like that she’s going to see her therapist again. And how you show how the caring of the circle of friends. Go Bette ‘n Tina! But does this stranger at the door spell more misunderstandings between our heroines? I mean, unless she’s seeing Dana incarnate, lol. Inquiring minds want to know. And use ‘sexcellent’ any time, it’s quite Shane-ish, no? I ripped it off from a friend and haven’t stopped using it since. Also, I like the hypertextual touch of the chat–a quicker way to reach Alice after her show or an easier mode than talking in person? Who cares, it’s brill! Please post soon, this is like crack. Rock on!

    3. Wow, such a great update – just when I thought the story couldn’t get any better! I loved Alice’s near-curses on the radio – so funny, and so Alice. Her speech was terrific – great idea to give us glimpses of her friends listening to her and taking her advice in various ways. But, who is at the door?!?!?! The suspense is killing me! And just when Lara was going to open up to Alice… As you know, I’m hopelessly addicted to this story, so I’ll be checking for updates obsessively this week!

    4. I’m all for a few dead ends on the chart as well… or mayhap a cosy little cul-de-sac containing one sous-chef and a certain charting chatterbox. Great stuff again, Goldrun.

    5. is it gabby, tat makes sense since gabby is the ex of both of them. but who cares!!!!!! i juz want lace! n also. shane n carmen, they r meant 2 b 22222…..
