Meg smiled. "THE Alice? Not here even ten minutes and I get to meet Alice? Cool!" She headed to the intercom.
Lara grabbed her arm. "Whoa! Listen….Alice and I need to have a few minutes alone."
Meg grinned mischievously.
Lara glared at her. "No, really. I need to tell her something. Meg, please this is very important."
Meg noted the growing panic in Lara’s eyes with concern. She patted Lara’s hand. "Sure, Sis…no problem. I need to go freshen up anyway. How long do you need?"
Lara closed her eyes. There was no way she could tell Alice everything…or even anything with Meg just down the hall. "Five minutes. Then we’ll sit down and catch up properly."
Meg kissed Lara on the cheek. "Sure thing." She picked up her bag and headed down the hallway.
"Meg?"
The woman turned, "Yeah?"
"I’ve missed you….I’m glad you’re here."
"I love you, too, La."
Lara punched the keypad. "Alice?"
"Yeah…I thought you weren’t there for a minute."
"Sorry about that….come on up."
Lara opened the door and stepped out on the landing. "Hey!"
Alice, halfway up the stairs, looked up in surprise, a smile flashing across her face. "Hey yourself!"
Climbing to the top she looked at Lara. "You look a little flushed. Everything okay?"
Lara nodded, a troubled expression clouding her face. "Yeah, but there’s been a change in plans."
Alice considered this for a minute before she replied. "Okay, what does that mean, exactly?"
Lara sighed. "Alice, I can’t talk to you today. I’m so sorry."
Alice, took a breath as sudden anger coursed through her veins. Screw it….patience hasn’t gotten me anywhere. With an angry look she exploded, "What the fuck, Lara? You get me over here, thinking we are going to work through whatever is eating you alive, only to find out you’ve changed your mind again? You could have at least called and saved me the trip." Turning she threw back over her shoulder. "Next time you say you want to talk, you’d better be ready to follow through." She started down the stairs.
Lara felt as though she’d just been slapped. She realized too late just how weak her words had been. "Alice, WAIT!" She bellowed, surprising both herself and Alice with the volume and intensity of her cry.

Ah, the plot thickens for the soup chef! Great stuff. Just keep writing any old time…seriously, is the next update almost ready? Huh?
when well lara get around to telling alice what is going on in her head please post soon I love it great update and so quick as well
home again from my friends in bremen i just found your latest updates! great stuff! meg is a very cute little sis you create for lara! i absolutley enjoy her visit. i can´t wait for the next chapter, to read, what she will do next.i´m sure she will be in big troule *gg*. so sail on, i´ll be here…
OMG you are such a tease, first the mystery person at the door and then such a quick update–way to totally fuel my addiction to your fanfic! Can we all just quit work and comment on your writing professionally? ;) Using ‘Megan the Abrupt’ to balance out ‘Lara the Guarded’ is simply genius…sometimes family members bring out that honesty, not to mention sides we may not show everyone, no? Alice remains the champ offering quiet reassurances while not flying off the handle. Could the ‘I’m here’ and ‘I need you’ gestures between our two heroines at the table have been any sweeter? NO! Because you are da bomb! Can’t wait for the date, are they gonna ditch the sis and….? Sorry, I’m starting to just make things up, LOL. Update as soon as you can, gaaaahhh!
Wow – feel free to surprise me with two updates in two days any old time! :) Ok, I know I say this in every comment, but this is just so freakin’ good! I totally agree with Min – bringing in Lara’s sister (who is just the perfect counterbalance for Lara) is pure genius! I loved how she casually revealed Lara’s comments about Alice being sexy – not that we didn’t already know that, but it’s great to have Alice hear it first-hand! Siblings who know too much can be incredibly embarrassing at times… but I think that is exactly what Lara needs in her life right now – someone who will force her to be honest without worrying about the consequences (because sisters are supposed to annoy each other from time to time!). That sisterly relationship gives her a lot more freedom to say what’s on her mind than Alice has at the moment. Oh, speaking of which – I also thought Alice’s blow-up at the beginning of the chapter was perfectly-timed. She’s been so patient with Lara’s unwillingness to talk about things lately (much to her credit), but Alice can only hold back for so long before she’ll let loose with what is bothering her. This was a fantastic update – thank you for not letting the suspense about who was at the door kill me, though I continue to be as addicted as ever to this story! :)
i come here everyday… 2 wait 4 this story… soooo…carry on,…. they r sweet 2gether
Manic Meg… I like! Alice somehow seems more restained than ever with the little sister brought into the fray. We’re just starting to scratch the surface of Ms. Lara’s world, aren’t we? Great chapter again, Goldrun. Thanks.
