That night as Dana dropped Alice off she couldnt believe how much like a date the day had felt like. She knew in her head it wasnt a date but her heart wanted to live in the fantasy. So Alice how about I pick you up around 7:30 tomorrow. There is a new hiking trail Ive wanted to check out. We could go have coffee with everyone then check out the trail. Then maybe have a light lunch and go shopping before we meet with everyone at Bettes and Tinas later that night. Alice smiled up at Dana; she placed both her hands on Danas shoulders. Dana slow down you dont have to entertain me the whole two weeks. Im sure you have other things you need to do. Dana I still think you need to train I dont want you to fall behind, I know this is a very busy time of year for tournaments.

Dana just looked at Alice with a very sad look on her face. Alice please let me have these next two weeks with you. I just want to enjoy the next two weeks with my best friend before she leaves. Nothing else matters to me except that right now. You and I both know once you go back to London I probably wont see you very much after that. Im not good enough to ever make it to Wimbledon, so Im going to enjoy your company while youre here.

Alice just looked at her friend remembering how she could never say no to Dana, and thinking how somehow somethings just dont change, because she still couldnt say no to Dana. All right pick me up at 7:30, but Dana you are good enough to make it to Wimbledon.

Dana could not believe how happy she was at the thought of spending another day with Alice. She reached up and kissed Alice on the forehead as she turned to go back down the hall. See you at 7:30 in the morning, good-night Al.

As Alice entered her suite, she sat down and placed her head in her hands thinking. What am I doing here? Why did I leave London? Im getting over my head. No this is good; this will give me closure with Dana. This is what is needed I can go back to being friends with Dana and then Helena and I can move forward with our relationship. This is what Helena asked me to do. I can do this.
