Alice laughed, “We are a quite a group here, huh?”
“Yes we are. What I meant by don’t let her, was if she wants to push you away, but keep you close enough to pull you back when she needs you, take another step back. Back away far enough that she can’t just try to pull you in whenever she thinks she wants you and that you’ll be waiting. I guess I mean that if she really wants to end things, then give her a taste of what it will be like without you. Don’t be mean, don’t be angry, don’t be anything.”
A quiet fell over the table as they all thought that through.
“I like it.” Alice stated. “I leave on Sunday for DC and won’t be back for a couple of weeks. Lets see how much she wants to push me away then. Thank you Robin, good idea.”
“Not so fast, Al.” Bette was shaking her head, “I’m not so sure you should let it go that easily.”
“How is that letting her get away with it?” Robin asked.
“Yeah, that makes no sense Bette.” Alice readily agreed with Robin.
“What I mean is I think she is getting off too easy. Personally, I think you deserve a better answer. So, the plan you have is to walk away and see what she does? It seems a little foolish to me.”
“What’s so foolish? She claims this is what she wants, why shouldn’t she get to see what it’s like without me?”
“Alice, it’s not that. I get that, but then what? If you think about it, there are two ways this can work out here – one she’s fine without you and you get no answer and no Dana and that would wouldn’t work out too well for you – or two she hates it without you – but you get no answer and you get Dana and you just go back. So either way – you don’t get an answer and will always wonder what really happened, and wait for it to happen again and will never have peace.” Bette finished her speech and reached down for her wine, “That’s why I find it foolish.”
No one spoke at the table for a few minutes. Alice was busy contemplating Bette’s words. She did have a point and it was one Alice hadn’t actually thought of yes. Bette and Robin, however, weren’t thinking of Alice and Dana. They both knew exactly who Bette was referring to, Tina. Though it isn’t like Bette needed an answer as to why Tina left or why she never came back, it was pretty darn obvious why. What Bette regretted was that she never pushed the issue. She felt so guilty about the affair that she just dropped it and allowed Tina to disappear and eventually leave her life. She didn’t push Tina to talk to her, to face their pain and disappointment. In short, she did nothing. That decision has always haunted her and she didn’t want her friend to suffer the same fate. She knew how much Alice loved Dana. She knew the pain it would cause if she lost her and she knew the suffering Alice would go through if she never got her answer.

That’s all I was thinking when I read how you ended this. Luce, you’re driving me crazy here! I hope you’re happy that I was crying for most of this one too – even during the HOT sex scene! I complain, but you know I love the tease. (hey, my “skip-a-chapter” plan worked!)
Ok, I have spent the majority of the day and night reading all of the chapters to this story. This is an outstanding story! I love it, love it, love it! Your writing ability to tell a story is fantastic. You are awesome at describing scenes, you use direct quotes perfectly and grammatical it’s wonderful. Keep up the unbelievable great work! I cannot wait to read the next chapter and the next and the next, etc… I love it!
Finally something happened! I hate (and LOVE) your cliffhangers :D Danish can solve the stalker problem together! Hopefully you are not going to make us too long *fingers crossed*. *5*
Loved the pace of this chapter. And the cliffhanger is so perfect that this time I don’t mind it all, provided you post again soon, that is!
