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, but 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.

I do! I do! Gold star to me! Great update. Worth the wait. ;-D Love Shane’s description of the framily. So accurate. Glad the stalker was caught — I hope that is the end of her. I understand Alice needing time, but, I hope she and Dana talk soon. Thanks so much for continuing this, lucia!!
Hooray! I can’t believe my eyes when I saw the post. A big THANK YOU to you and Capesquad. I thought I would never have the opportunity to tell you that I love Cara and that Julia was a great character added. I read the story at least 3 times always thinking that I might have missed some clues to why D was so apprehensive telling A the truth to begin with. They would have avoided all the unnecessary tears and heartaches. Then again we would not have this fantastic story. I believe this has to be one of the best crazy fan story. I second what MaGoose said. Furthermore, I think the separation is called for. D must do some soul searching. What if there was another temptation and another crazy fan. I am sure Yoda would be there for her in A’s absence. Conveniently, T would be there to talk things over with A. Perfect scenerio. Thank you again Lucia. You have no idea how happy I am right now.
You just made my week. I love this story, so glad you’re continuing with it!
lucia – of course i remember this. when this first came out i was obsessed. i printed out the first chapters and would read them over and over again. i was obsessed. i had given up hope, but i am so glad you are continuing. this was a great chapter i am excited to see what lies ahead. i don’t mind how you wrapped up the stalker, to me this was always more of a love story that a mystery. can’t wait for more and thank you so much.
Cid!! so obviously i was happy to see you posted an update. (did you feel YOU had a stalker?) i found this way too late last night (this morning) and read it anyway- couldn’t help myself. Loved it then, loved it better sober! : )i liked how you handled the ‘disposal’ of the stalker- she’s always been outside the picture- try asshe might- she doesn’t even get the satisfaction of a dramatic confrontation. Alice needs to think about Dana without having to worry about her at the same time clouding the issues. I look forwardto hearing both her AND Tina vent… i look forward to all of it! Thank you for this.
i remember!!!! nice to see you back this is a great story and im glad your continuing with it. :) pps

i remember this story and I have missed it so much could’nt believe my eyes when I see the post but this was great as always and I can’t wait for the next post please be soon I love it
