She was startled when she felt a tap on her shoulder.
"Hi Dana, I didn’t know you were back." Julia said, "Mind if I join you."
"Of course not, please sit."
After a few minutes of pleasantries, Dana filled Julia in on the major parts of the happenings of the last few days.
"So that’s it, it’s all over?"
"Well, I have to go down to the station here for an official statement and if she doesn’t confess, I’ll need to go to court, but other than that, yes it’s all over."
"You must be so relieved."
"Yeah, I am." Dana replied, half heartedly.
Julia was quiet for moment, trying to understand Dana’s demeanor. For intents and purposes, she should be ecstatic. Her stalker is in jail, leaving nothing to stop her and Alice from resuming their relationship. But here was Dana, less than ecstatic, actually bordering on misery.
"Forgive me Dana, if I’m intruding, but shouldn’t you be happier about all of this? I mean, it’s all over, you should be able to get back to life as usual."
Dana didn’t quite know how to answer. She was happy, of course she was. She was out of danger and more importantly, so was Alice. That didn’t take away the nervous feeling she had.
"I’m sorry, Julia. It’s not that I’m not happy, I’m just still on edge, you know? Alice is still away and we haven’t quite worked out what it’ll be like when she gets back."
"Yeah, why is she still in DC? I would have thought that she would come back with you. I hope she knows that I’d be ok with that."
"She just wanted to finish what she started."
"I guess. But she didn’t need to. I’ll call her tomorrow and tell her that I’d support her coming home early."
Dana didn’t respond immediately. She was staring inside her empty coffee cup, as though there were some magic answer waiting there for her. "It’s not that simple Julia. I sort of left a few pieces out."
Julia looked up, "What did you leave out? Is Alice ok? I thought you said it was all done."
"No, no, not like that. Alice is fine, everyone is fine. Sorry. I didn’t say that right." Dana replied a bit too sadly. "I’m can’t seem to say anything right. I thought I explained it to Alice. I thought she would understand. She said she did, but then she said she needed to stay in DC to think things through and decide what to do about us. I mean I thought she understood. I thought I explained it, you know?"

Lucia, you deserve a round of applause for continuing this story since its debut in April, 05. I, for one love this story and am thrilled to know that you will are working on an ending. Great scene with A & T trying to fish out each other’s story over drinking. I am with 25justagirl & capesquad, I would rather see T ending up with “Juwia” just because Julia had shown her constant love and support to T & Cara. Plus T had already said that B did not do equal well. To me, in this case, J & T were better fit. Back to A & D. I hope D could demonstrate to A soon that she was trustworthy and committed. Of course A’s apprehension was with merit after all the heartaches D had given A. I do not blame A for staying away to figure things out. All and all it’s a great day to see you posted. Thank you.
I am so thrilled to see a new chapter from you on this great story!! I love how you have thrown Alice and Tina together. They really are what the other one needs right now. Hopefully Alice will open up to Tina in the next chapter. If they need it, I will send them over a couple more bottles of wine. And I am glad that Dana and Julia are talking. Maybe that will help Dana understand why Alice needs a little space right now. I love that Julia was willing to call Alice back from the DC assignment. “And not for the fun use of handcuffs either” — Hee! Thank you so much for the update, lucia! And, no worries, it was excellently done, as usual!!
Wow. I had given up hope that we would see another chapter. Thanks so much for returning to share your story. Come back soon, OK?
Yay…………. you finally posted!!! I’m just so happy right now…:-D Usually, I’m firm believer that Tina and Bette belong together, but this time I want Tina to end up with Julia. I can’t wait for the next chapter, hopefully there will be more Danish… Thank you for continuing this. Maybe you’ll update “Ghost of Christmas Past” too?
Lucia posted. (does happy saturday morning coffee dance.) Tina is so adorable. Loved the description of her examining each wine bottle one by one to be sure they were empty… You’ve convinced me she and Julia and Cara belong together. Still… i’m wondering about those breakfasts at the planet with Bette some mornings…oh well, what would we do with out some ‘dyke drama’ occasionally? As for ms. Alice… she is the queen of deflection. sigh…. next chapter, right?p.s. what season 5? Was Alice in Season 5?
Wow. What did I do to deserve your story? lol… I’m so happy! I understand Alice needing time. I just wish Alice will realize no matter what happened, Dana’s heart was right there with Alice…. And I really wish that she’ll see that she loves Dana, only Dana. You’ve convinced me about Jule and Tina, seriously. =) Good job. And PPS!!
As I recollect, Lucia, I was part of the judges’ panel that awarded you a prize for this fanfic. After said prize was awarded, it disappeared, pronto. Ditto for LastKid and her fabulous “Tina, Tiny Pieces” and another fic that I loved that was a B&T detective fic. >>You know what I learned from that experience? NO MORE FANFIC AWARDS! They seem to have an inhibiting effect upon the writers. What gives? I’m glad you’re back and I hope you’ll bring Lastkid out of the woodwork with you. I really like this fic a lot and I’m glad you’ve returned to it! Thanks! BTW – I like Julia but Bette all the way for me and Tina. Thanks!
I love it! I just found your story because I just found this amazing website and I read your entire story in two days. In fact, it was very hard to do work because I wanted to read the story. Please post soon. I can’t wait!
