Alice turned, a tired expression on her face. "What?"
"I didn’t say that right at all. It’s not that I don’t want to talk to you today, it’s that I can’t talk to you. Something’s come up. Please come in and let me explain. Please, Alice?" Lara pleaded, sensing that Alice wasn’t certain that she wanted to give her another chance.
"This better be good." Alice kept her eyes down as she marched past Lara into the apartment.
As if on cue, Meghan bounded down the hallway. "You must be Alice!"
Alice looked up so quickly she lost her balance. She fell back into Lara’s arms, who steadied her gently.
"Alice, meet my sister Meghan."
Meg stepped forward and gave Alice a hug. "Call me Meg. Meghan is my ‘you’re in so much fucking trouble’ name. I’m glad to finally meet you Alice…Lara’s told me all about you." Stepping back she continued as she beamed at Alice. "You’re every bit as cute as she said."
"Meghan!" Lara warned.
"What? I didn’t tell her how sexy you think she is."
"Meghan!" Lara yelped.
Meg winked at Alice. "See….I’m in sooo much fucking trouble!"
Alice’s face expressed a myriad of emotions as she turned to face Lara. Amusement finally won out. "So, how sexy did you tell Meg I am?"
Lara opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
Meg, ever helpful, came to her rescue. "Want me to recount the conversation, Sis?"
"No!" Lara hastily grabbed Meg’s arm. "Alice, Meg just showed up on my doorstep just before you got here. I had no idea she was coming." Glaring at Meg, she continued. "You REALLY should have called."
Meg glanced at Alice. "I probably should have, but I wanted to check up on my big sister." Her expression was suddenly serious, and Alice caught a sense of how worried Meg was about Lara.
Alice smiled at Meg’s disarming response. "I don’t blame you Meg. She needs that now and again." Taking Meg’s arm she led her into the living room. "You and I should chat."
Lara trotted behind. "Uhm, hey….what about lunch? You must be hungry after your flight, Meg? And, Alice, I know you haven’t eaten….so what do you say? I only had enough for a couple of sandwiches, but we can be at The Planet in ten minutes."

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.
