Domino Effect, Chapter 18: My Reality
Alice wrapped one hand gently around Lara’s arm. “Honey, look. I don’t
know what happened when you went back to Susan, but I know it was
awful. But it’s over now. Understand? You’re free of all that.”
“Free?” Lara said hollowly, swiping at the tears that kept falling.
“Yes. And I know.” Alice licked her lips. She hated to talk about this
but . “I know Dana left you hanging. She means well, but sometimes,
well, she can be a little cruel. But.”
At the mention of Dana’s name, Lara’s face hardened, and whatever
warmth had been in her eyes was sucked out as something dark and
malevolent resurfaced. “Cruel?” she laughed. “She has no idea what
cruel is. But I’m going to show her.” The edge was back in her voice.
Alice let loose of Lara’s arm as if she’d been burned, jumped back, and
sprang for the door, flicking the lock with one graceful movement. Lara
grabbed at her shirt, and just missed her. Alice was quick on her feet,
catlike with fear.
Alice was walking as fast as she could back to the open area of the
bar, Lara right behind her, when she spotted Susan. “Better the devil
you know,” she thought to herself and called out, “Susan? Susan! HEY!
Wait up!” Alice yelled, not believing she was doing this, she’d lost
her mind.
Susan pivoted, eyes blazing at the impudence of someone calling her
that way. She saw Alice speed-walking toward her, Lara in hot pursuit.
A cold smile crept across her lips. She reached out her hand. “Yes, Alice. Are you ready to .”
Alice stopped inches from Susan’s face. “I’m ready to smack both of you
at this point. I am all done with this sit-stay-roll over rover
routine. From BOTH of you! Lara!” She turned around and glared, “You
need to go home. Wherever that is at this point, I don’t care. And
Susan!” She fished into her portfolio and pulled out a business card
and slapped it down on Susan’s outreached hand. “My deadline is Friday
afternoon. If you want your clubs included in this article, call me.
Otherwise, I’ll just say ‘see ya’ and be on my way.” With that, she
pivoted on her heels and stalked up the stairs, leaving Susan and Lara
both open-mouthed and gaping.

My Reality

Janet Marie
I’m going over the edge
Hanging by every breath
Tight rope walking
Over a chasm of affections
Falling deeper with every step
The labyrinth of emotions
My perpetual spin
I’m hopeless & dazed
Lost in my own chaos
Starless sky unable to guide me
Rogue adventurer
Diving head first
Into a jaded day
The other side
Always two steps away
Balancing on the edge
About to crash

So there seems to be a way to get out of their dazes. Curious if whatever Alice did also can have an affect on the rest of the girls.
I read some of this.before.Dont think you got this far Seems like I was in the middle of a chapter and BLANK it was gone. Maybe Alice in her crazy way is the answer to why the gang is going carzy and doing the strange thing or is it just JR and wind. thanks so much. bvh
