Some minutes later, Lara had stood from the chaise lounge. Swaying gently, she’d put her hand to her head. "Wow, how much wine did I drink?"
"Practically a bottle on your own." Alice smiled. She stood. Together they gathered the glasses, bottles and food containers. As they made their way slowly down the stairs to the apartment, the air between them grew heavy with silence. Alice nervously cleared her throat, just as the phone rang. Lara grabbed the cordless on the kitchen bar.
"Hello?" She listened. "Meg, I can hardly hear you." She listened again. "Okay. You want to call me tomorrow morning, and I’ll come pick you up?" She nodded. "Alright. Have fun. Love you, kiddo." She put the phone down.
"Let me guess. She’s having a lot of fun, and Shane and Jenny offered to let her spend the night?"
Lara smiled. "You’re right on all counts, but I think the ultimate reason she’s spending the night is to give us an uninterrupted night together."
"Oh." Suddenly, the tension was in the room again. "She’s a pretty presumptuous kid." Alice grumbled.
Lara laughed. "She’s pretty perceptive too. I think she knew I could use a shoulder tonight, and that I preferred it to be yours."
Alice smiled. "Really?"
Lara nodded. Stepping closer, she hooked her right arm around Alice’s waist and pulled her closer. "Alice, what I wanted to say up on the roof was, thank you." She took a deep breath. "I know we still have a lot of talking to do, and I don’t expect you to understand everything I’ve been doing or saying these past few days, since I hardly understand it myself, but it means the world to me that you didn’t just freak out and run away." She leaned down and kissed Alice softly. Pulling back, she murmured, "And Alice?" She let the question hang until Alice peered up at her quizzically, eyes half closed. "I love you, too."
Alice’s arms tightened, and a shy smile spread across her face. Lara’s heart fluttered at the sight. Leaning down she captured Alice’s lips in a kiss that was gentle, but full of desire. Taking Alice’s hand in hers she pulled back, her eyes dark with want. "Come to bed with me, Alice."

These two are just so… sweet, and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. Lovely chapter. Ta, Goldrun.
Damn – I missed posting the first comment again! Well, what can I say, Gold? That was hot. And cute. And hot. And sweet. And… did I mention hot? :) The end was just completely perfect – “you’re here”. Awwwww… can I steal that line from you in my story? :) And, as far as “ignoring” Alice’s emotions – that’s hooey (yes, I did just use the word “hooey”)! You’ve given us fantastic insight into both Alice and Lara’s characters – and, if there has been more of an emphasis on Lara’s emotional turmoil over Dana’s death, it has never been to the detriment of Alice’s character. On the contrary, I think that has allowed for a really interesting exploration of Alice’s strengths – something that we don’t get to see often enough. So, thank you for this story, and for yet another terrific update! Epilogue away – and, feel very free to make it a 50-pager so that we can put off the end of this lovely story for as long as possible!
Right back at you with the ability to write hotness. In fact, I think it’s safe to say you put me to shame. And yay for making Dana’s only concern that Lara loves Alice the way she deserves to be loved. That was the subtext, right? Or I am just filling in what I want it to mean? Hey, it works for me. Ditto bluemini on the epilogue…remember Lucky started as one! Looking forward to next week!
Could it be that I have been rendered speechless? Gold, shit fire, this is…gaaaah! I echo jp22’s, Blue’s and SammysGirl’s comments: sweet, hot, and so well done. Sigh, touch-feely–erm, no wait, I don’t mean touchy-feely in a creepy way, I mean in a healthy adult way, both physically and emotionally. It just goes to show you can’t beat engaging in NC-17 scenes with someone you LURVE, hehe;) Or showing your lurve through said actions. Or, whatever. It was just the right thing. I thought for 1.5 seconds that Meg might interrupt them and was prepared to scream at the computer but you did not disappoint. I loved Alice’s “did you hear what -I- said” right back at Lara combined with Lara’s sincere gratification for Alice’s support…and finally, neither of them bolts off before saying what they needed to say. Yes! So now we are privy to their knowledge that they are together together, and that is just sa-weet. I like the image and symbolism of Dana walking away…can she rest easy now? As always, I anticipate with great fanfic crack addict desire how you will epilogue and/or last chapter this goodness. While the number 20 is an excellent rounding off point, don’t forget that ’25’ and ’30’ are also divisible by 5, just in case you go off on a sequel tangent. Hahah, laugh, dammit, I am funny! Ah, what can I say, this fic is deep-dish-dee-lish. Can’t wait for more when you can get to it!! Thanks for sharing your consistently delectable writing, your awesomely witty comments and…I’ll be checking back, don’t you worry now…!
oh alice…oh lara…you two are just…to perfect…man…sigh…okay enough with the …’s. anywho!! great update and i cant wait for more!
Damn, you’re updates were still faster than I could catch up. I hate it when work is kicking my ass. :( Oh no…the end is near! How about a 5 * 5. (25 is my lucky number….hint hint :P) But good thing you’re going to do an epilogue. I always love those. :D As for the last two chapters. Wow…that’s all I can say. So much unsolved emotions are still in the air. Lara’s fear for rejection once she confesses what really happens in her dreams (and ofcourse the fear for her own dreams). Alice for saying I love you, but still insecure about Lara’s feelings for her (she doesn’t need to be). But I’m glad they found a way to get some distraction…yeah that was one hot distraction. :P And they can always talk tomorrow…or the day after tomorrow…or the day after that. Because you can say one thing for sure, Alive isn’t going anywhere and so is Lara.:D Btw, did you vist last.fm already?
so maybe now lara has over come her nightmares I hope so and Ihope that they are on there way to being together forever please post soon great update I love it
