Alice looked at Dana, trying to soften her demeanor, “Dane, I know it had to have been hard, but what does that have to do with us? I’m not trying to be obtuse, I don’t get it.”
“What does it have to do with us? Al, it’s all I have ever been. It’s all you have ever known me to be. What will be left for you to love if that’s gone?”
Alice stared at Dana in pure bewilderment. “What? Dana, tennis is not all I’ve ever known you to be. Is that was this is about? Is that what your fear is based on?”
Dana’s entire manner changed as her insecurities hit the forefront.
“Yes.” She answered in a voice so low it was barely audible. “It’s all I know how to do. It’s all I’ve ever been good at. What is going to be left to love?”
As much as Alice wanted to hold on to her anger, she felt it melting away. She looked at this woman that she has loved for so long in so much pain and couldn’t find the will to keep up her anger and distance.
She stood up so that she could meet Dana’s gaze.
“Look at me Dana.” She waited until the brunette finally lifted her eyes from the ground. “How could you ever think that? I don’t care about tennis. I care because you do. To me, it’s what you do for a living, it isn’t who you are. Who you are is what I love. The woman that I fell in love with is there whether there’s tennis or not. I’m not a fan, I’m real. I would love you whether you won every grand slam tournament out there or never made it to them. Your success matters to me only because I want you to be successful and happy in whatever you do. Can you really doubt that?”
“I was scared that there wasn’t going to be anything left for you to love. I don’t know who I am without tennis.”
“We’ll just have to figure that out, together.”
She pulled Dana into an embrace and held on tight. She lifted her head from Dana’s shoulders so that her lips were brushing Dana’s ear. Dana’s legs instantly became weak as she felt Alice’s breath on her ear. Alice whispered, “Dane, I meant was I said, but this isn’t done. This is all I’ll do for an audience. We need to finish this in private. You still have some explaining to do.” She then kissed Dana softly on the lips and broke the embrace.
Before Dana could respond, Alice pulled away, taking Dana’s hand and leading her back towards the hotel. About a hundred yards away, a woman pulled off her headphones and baseball cap then angrily got up, heading in the direction of the hotel.

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.
