Her voice was laced with sadness. Bette reached over to her and grabbed her hand. Bette held on to her as she continued to speak her mind, “One conversation five years ago, whether forced or not, would have solved it. Maybe they would have worked it out and we would never be here. Or maybe it would have ended and Bette and I could have truly started a life together. But we’ll never know that now. Now, they need to do this five years too late. I don’t think you should do that yourself. Bette is right. Go talk to Dana.”
Alice nodded solemnly and stood up from the table. She leaned over, hugged Robin and whispered in her ear, “You are a good woman, Robin. I hope it all works out for you.” She moved to Bette and put her arms around her friend, “Every once in a while, Porter, you make such good sense. Thank you.”
Alice grabbed her bag and went to leave the table, “Alice where are you going?”
“To talk to Dana!” She answered, without turning around.

A lot of the anger and resentment she felt when she let the table had dissipated by now. Though she did have residual anger for the situation she was in, fear and hurt were the emotions that kept vying for the top spot. It helped that her nap seemed to take the edge off of the alcohol.
She looked at Dana and tried to imagine her life without her. She tried to imagine coming home from work to an empty house or to wake up to an empty bed. She tried to picture not picking up the phone to call Dana when she actually made the light by their house, which has only happened about ten times in the three years they lived there. She tried to envision lying on the couch alone, reading the Sunday paper and doing the Sunday Crossword puzzle alone, Dana was surprisingly good at the Sunday crossword. All in all, she tried to envision a world, where she didn’t share her life, in it’s entirety with Dana. That image was so cloudy that she couldn’t quite make it out.
Alice tried to use Dana’s trips as a starting point. She was used to time alone. Dana traveled at least a quarter of the year, some years even more. But that didn’t work either. Because even when Dana was on the road, Dana was the last person she spoke to before bed and the first person she spoke to in the morning. When Alice ate dinner alone or watched TV alone she knew it was temporary, Dana would be home soon. Their lives had been so embedded in each other’s it was impossible to imagine them as separate. Even as friends, before they allowed themselves love each other, their lives were intertwined in a daily basis. As much as Dana said she was doing this to make sure that they still had that friendship, Alice knew better. It was a child’s dream, with no basis in reality. If this relationship truly ended, if they could ever get that friendship back, it would take years. So when Alice tried to imagine her life without Dana, she knew it was a real possibility and at this point, it appeared as a real probability. And with that thought she couldn’t contain the emotion any more, she began to cry.

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*
