Joy had been good for her. Alice had met Joy because her friends were tired of her never going out after her breakup with Dana. She would meet with her friends like always. But other then that all she did was work and sit in her apartment isolating herself more and more from the world. Then finely one day her friends had had enough. So after a series of really bad blind dates of both men and women. Bette set her up with an unknown but up and coming artist whose work was featured in Bette’s gallery. What Alice found with Joy that she didn’t have at the time was someone she could talk to about everything including Dana. Alice had found a friend to replace the void Dana left.

So as they were walking on the sidewalk looking toward the water Joy went ahead a brought up the subject she could tell was weighing heavily on Alice’s mind. “So how was your visit with Dana?” Alice brought Joy’s hand up and kissed it. “It was OK; it was nice seeing her again. But you know I just have the feeling she not very happy. I mean I know she just lost everything professionally, but it still felt like there was an underlying unhappiness to her.” Joy just smile at her friend. “Alice leave it to you to worry about someone else’s happiness even if that person broke your heart.” Alice just smiled. “I offered to move in with her until she could hire help so she wouldn’t have to live with her parents. I mean in her spare room, not like together just to help.” Joy just laughed. “Alice you don’t have to justify to me, I know you’re heart is always in the right place. And I also know you still love her, just do me a favor and don’t let her break your heart again. Make her prove herself to you. You’re too good to let her or anyone hurt you like that again.” Alice just blushed at the complement she still had a hard time taking complements even at her age. “Well I don’t think you have to worry about her breaking my heart again. She has a lot of better women bidding for her affections then me. I just hope we can go back to be friends again. I think she misses it as much as I do.” Joy just sighed wishing Alice would realize there really weren’t a lot of better women out there then her. And deep down even though she loved Alice in her own way. She hoped one day Dana would realize the same thing, because Dana was who Alice really loved.

Repeat after me Deb really does like Dana, so hang in there because hopefully Dana will come to her scenes or Deb will have to slap her silly.
