Drowning 22 (part 2)
“So Dane, when are you going to talk to me about you and Alice?”
“What do you want me to say, Tina? It’s over.” Dana answered.
“You aren’t seriously going to leave it like that with me, are you? It’s over. Nothing else. Dana, you’ve known her for ten years, you’ve loved her almost as long and have been committed to her for almost six years. And you seriously expect me to believe that it’s over is your answer? Come on.”
“Tina, it’s just time ok? It’s been great. And I do love Alice, you’re right. But love isn’t always enough and sometimes you just have to know when its time to go.” Dana voice was starting to rise. Her frustrations and emotions running at a heightened level all day. An uncomfortable silence grew at the table.
Tina sat quietly for minute. Both started to eat their salads. After a few more seconds, Tina broke the silence, “So Dana. Does this sudden knowledge that it’s time to go have anything to do with the letter you got today at Shane’s?”
Dana started blankly at Tina, her fork dropped to the table, “How… how do you know about the letter?”
Tina looked Dana squarely in the eyes, “Shane called me. Apparently, you really scared her, Dana. What was in the letter?”
Dana took a long swig of her drink and sat quietly, thinking before answering. She should have known that Shane wouldn’t just let it drop. Shane let her out of the house way too easily. She knew her friend better than that. She knew that if Shane was really worried, there is no way she was just going to let Dana get away with saying, ‘Don’t worry, it’s nothing.’ But she hoped that she would at least get a reprieve, at least for just one night. Give her time to think and plan. But that didn’t happen. Shane called Tina. Tina is staying at Alice’s. Tina had to have told Alice. That must have been why she acted like that at the house. Damn, she didn’t need Alice involved or asking questions. That was bound to make matters worse.
“No, Tina, I didn’t end things with Alice because of the letter I got today.” Dana felt a little better. She wasn’t actually lying. She hadn’t ended things because of today’s letter. She ended it because of the letter that she got two weeks earlier and the one from last week. But today’s? Nope, had nothing to do with it. If she wasn’t lying, she had a much better chance of Tina buying, even if it is just semantics. Dana can’t lie, never has been able to. So if what she is saying has a foundation in truth, she is much more believable than if it’s a total lie.

NOOOOO please don’t make us wait. I for the life of me can’t figure this out. What could have Dana so scared she would give everything. Now all I’m going to do is obsess even more about this story, so hurry up so I can have a life.
Maybe when Alice wakes up Dana will tell her? (hint, hint) :)
Call the police, Dana! Call the FBI!!!!
Do you think she can hear me through this internet connection????
Alice was a soothsayer tonight, thanks to Jack!
I loved it, as usual, but look at the state you have us all in now! You have to post again soon; we can’t stand the suspense. (And, Dana, since Alice is right there on the couch: tell her!)
I forgot and Jo Dee Messina “Love is Not Enough”, that is the ultimate heartbreak song. Beautiful and each time I hear it, I thanked god, I’m not in the middle of a breakup.
I was waiting for you lol! Alice’s collection of songs had me cracking up, btw I love the Carpenters. Tina and Dana was touching and sweet. I missed this group of friends where everyone came together and helped out. You really aren’t gonna make this easy for us, aren’t you? What is going on with Dana? The suspense is killing me!
EEEH! Fix it!! Pweese? I luv it! Update soon, that was greeeeeat!
Ok, I’m coming out of lurkdom to say how much I love this story but it’s driving me crazy. (In a good way) Just when I think Dana’s going to cave in and spill the beans with what’s really going on…she fools me once again! Can’t wait for the next chapter.
“She was so torn.” Oh poor Dana!
it’s a great story. however, I don’t understand why Dana didn’t even think about calling police?
Ok, you have me thinking and thinking about all the possibilities for Dana’s behavior, please let us know! lol. Thanks for post soon.

Dana has to go to the police, or at least talk to Alice.
Alice hit the nail on the head with Bette, Bette has to decide what she wants, its not fair on Robin.
Thank you.
