“No, Alice. That isn’t it. I wasn’t finished.”
“You know what? This is a waste of time. I’m done.” With that, Alice turned and began to walk away. It took Dana a few seconds to respond, but when she did, she was a different person. Dana stood up and grabbed Alice’s arm.
“Wait! My god, Alice! I get it. I fucked up. I really did. I’m the first to admit it. But do me a favor and get over yourself for a minute. I might have fucked up, but I am not going to let you walk away from this without so much as a conversation. We deserve more than that. Even if you can’t see it right now, I can.” Dana took a deep breath to calm herself, “So Alice, please, just sit down.”
Alice was too taken aback to argue so did what she was told. “Ok, you have more to say. I’m listening.”
“Thank you.” Dana tried to display a calm she didn’t exactly feel as she sat back down. She wasn’t even sure she knew what she was going to say, but she knew she was going to have to come up with something. “So, like I was saying. Alice, I did a stupid thing. I’ve thought about this over and over and I meant what I said in that letter to you. Any explanation I give you will sound like an excuse and I don’t want to excuse the behavior.”
“Then what’s the use in talking? If you aren’t going to try to explain why, if you can’t or aren’t willing to answer the one simple question I’m asking of you, then what is the use?”
“It isn’t that I’m not willing to answer the question, it’s that I’m not sure how to answer it. I wish there was one single thing I could point to and say that’s why I did this utterly stupid thing. I just don’t know what it is.” Dana paused to gather her thoughts, “I lied to you and I’m sorry. I was a coward.”
“Which part? Dana, you lied to me on a few items. Not the least of which would include you ending our relationship so that you wouldn’t have to tell me that you cheated on me. Was that the cowardly act or was it when you told me about your crazy ass stalker but failed to mention the art work she had?”

you really wrapped that all together well. good job. the fighting was really intense and the makeup was super cute. i am scared of that crazy stalker though. post soon and once again – thanks for not bailing on us. also – are you updating the christmas one soon? ;)
How did i miss this!? i’ve been waitng (not so patiently) and it slipped right by me. It was worth the wait Lucia. That was wonderful- i’ve wondered how you were going to make me (and Alice) understand the Why’s of it… both the explaination and Dana’s unfolding of her feelings were so natural and true to her character… they are both heartbreaking in this scene. thanks.
