    Author Notes:

    Alice and Lara have dinner.

    Alice knew that Lara was referring to the last weeks of Dana’s life. She’d wondered how Lara was dealing with the fact that she’d come home too late to resolve anything with Dana, but the subject had seemed too raw to mention.

    "How are you doing, Lara?"

    Lara let out a ragged sigh, and swiped her eyes. Smiling sadly, she looked at Alice. "Not good. I can’t seem to get past the fact that I let Dana down. I can’t believe I just left like that. I was so scared and pissed off and guilty about the fact that I was healthy. Plus, I felt so weak compared to…." Lara dropped her eyes and grew silent.

    Alice prodded gently, "Compared to?"

    Lara met Alice’s kind gaze with tear filled eyes. "You, Alice. I felt so weak compared to you. My god, when you came to the hospital that awful day, and just ran over the Fairbanks I was in awe. I couldn’t have done that in my wildest dream. But you were so in control of things. Despite the hurt and pain that you’d been through with everything between you and Dana, you were magnificent. Dana needed you…..and I knew it."

    Alice leaned forward and covered Lara’s hand with her own. "Lara, you were in shock when the Fairbanks were dickheads at the hospital. You’d been dealing with the possibility of Dana’s illness on your own for weeks beforehand. It wasn’t fair that Dana put all that on your shoulders alone. Dana was a wonderful woman….and I loved her with all my heart, but she was really hard to be in a relationship with." Alice finished this last sentence as if it was a revelation to herself. She paused briefly and continued, "She practically pushed you onto the plane. You can’t beat yourself up over not staying."

    Lara closed her eyes. "But no matter what I think or how I rationalize now, it doesn’t change the fact that I wasn’t here to say goodbye at the very least. I can’t tell you how I’ve agonized over stupid little things. Like….what was I doing the moment Dana died? Was I laughing? Was I complaining at some trivial little stupid inconvenience when she was dying? How could I have not known?"

    1. very nice, I like how the discussion panned out…can’t wait to hear about their first ‘date’ and how things progress..please keep this Lace action up, I’m readin’!

    2. I just caught up on this story, and I have to say that it is excellent. I’m a hardcore Danish shipper, but there was something about Lace that enticed me. Glad to see someone taking a look at them in-depth like this. God knows IC’s not going to do it! Please continue soon! You really get the emotions of them both. I feel like I know Lara better through your story than I have the past 3 seasons of TLW!

    3. This is an excellent story.I`m a devoted Dana fan! But i really like what your doing with the alice and Lara relationship! And i agree with Poopy-sh*t that someone has taken these charactors and gone into depth with them!I know its asking to much of IC to let Alice/Lara to have a long and lasting relationship! I`m fed up with the wooden performances from Jenny, Moira,get rid of them!They killed of Dana who was one my favourites, so i need something solid to go on for S4 to keep me interested!!!!
