Tina hadn’t quite recovered from the shock of the Alice’s statement, but she could also see that the reporter’s light banter wasn’t quite ringing true and there was great sadness behind her eyes. Though she herself wasn’t really looking to bare her soul, she did want to ease Alice’s pain and knowing Alice, if Tina didn’t push, she would just internalize it.
"Well, how about a little tit for tat? I dish, you dish, I dish." Tina offered up as a compromise.
"You start and we’ll take it from there." Alice relented. "So, which one is it, Bette or Julia?"
"I don’t think either really. And Julia, she’s my friend, I have no reason to hide from her."
Alice shook her head in amusement, "Try again."
""Really. It isn’t that I don’t want to face anyone, it’s that I don’t want to face the fact that I’m in LA and there is no one to face. I’ve spent so long tied to a past that I wasn’t sure if I still wanted, that now that I’ve made the decision, I’m just not sure how to move forward."
Alice nodded, "Well, why not just break it down?"
"Break what down?"
"All of it. All of your wants and fears. I mean, if you not sure how to move forward, then maybe you just need to simplify things and figure out what you actually want. Once you have that, then how to move forward is a much easier dilemma."
Now was Tina’s turn to nod. It was such a simple way to look at things. She’s always loved Alice and the lightness she could bring to most situations, but Alice wasn’t the person she thought of when she needed life advice.
"It almost sounds too simple, Al."
"That’s what most people do wrong." Alice replied, "They complicate what should be really simple. What do you want T?"
"I wish I knew."
"You know, you just haven’t come around to realizing it yet. Why did you decide that a life with Bette wasn’t what you wanted?"
"Now that is definitely, not a simple answer." Tina sighed. "I guess as much as we loved each other and still do, when it came down to it, I didn’t like who I became when we were together. I lost myself. If it’s possible, I just think we loved each other too much, with no room for us to be individuals. Neither one of us benefited that that."

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!
