Drowning 22 (part 2)
“Ok. So this letter isn’t why you ended things. But it does seem odd that you got a letter that scared you so much so close in timing to when out of left field, you decided to end your relationship after six years.”
“Almost six years. Six years is next month.” Dana corrected Tina, then herself. “Or would have been next month.”
“You get my point though Dana, it’s just so strange. You love her so much, it’s so obvious that you still do. I just don’t get it.”
The server came over with their dinners. A silence fell over the table as they began to eat. Eat might be strong statement for what Dana was doing. She was pushing her food back and forth on her plate. She was too lost in thought to care of the food itself.
Tina wasn’t having much luck with dinner either. She never could have imagined a dinner with Dana being this uncomfortable. There was so much tension at the table. There was this huge pink elephant sitting at the table with them and it wasn’t being discussed.
They finished their dinner with polite conversation about nothing of importance. When the bill was paid, Dana asked if Tina if she wanted her to drive her home. Dana was ready to be alone. Tina wasn’t exactly ready to let Dana go. She had a different idea. She made an excuse that she was going to call Julia to check on Cara and walked away to make a call. She came back a few minutes later with a smile on her face.
“Cara’s ok?” Dana asked.
“What? Yeah, she is fine. Listen Dane, let’s drive to the Planet, Kit has something I need to pick up.”
“Sure.”

Across town, dinner took a surprising turn. It wasn’t Alice that was the “delight” as Bette had so aptly put it, but Robin and occasionally Bette. And Alice found that whole situation way too funny.
“But Bette, all you had to do was pick up the phone and call me. I would have known not to come by. I wouldn’t have interrupted your reunion with your family. Right Alice?”
“Huh? Don’t ask me, I am so not getting in the middle of this one. Jack and I are going to sit quietly on the sidelines and watch the volley.” Alice raised her glass to no one in particular and took a sip.

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.
i luv this fan fic!! This is such a great storyline!!! please write soon! the suspense is killing me! they gotta get back together! and tinas gotta stay!
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.
