"Wow," Dana mumbled. It was settled, Jules was perfect. And Dana definitely hated her all the more because of it.
"Yeah, I know. Who would have thought I’d end up with a fucking humanitarian, right?"
"Oh, come on! You sell yourself way too short. What you do is important too."
"Dane, my last column for LA Magazine was Top 10 Lipstick/Eyeshadow Combinations for Women Under 40 …"
"See? You’re helping all those poor 39-year-olds who are hopeless when it comes to applying makeup."
Alice laughed at Dana’s futile attempt to make her feel better and Dana couldn’t help but join in. It felt good for them both to be laughing together again, an act that had become unfamiliar to them for what seemed like ages. Dana was finding it difficult keep her eyes from wandering down Alice’s body, however, especially with the way her dress appeared tight in some places and appropriately loose in others. And now the writer was laughing so hard that she threw her head back, exposing Dana to a perfect view of her chest. Luckily Dana had averted her eyes away from the sight just as the writer opened her own.
"You seem happy Alice," Dana cut off their laughter with her declaration.
At this Alice turned and looked her directly in the eye before nodding slowly and smiling. "Yeah, I guess I am. Can I ask you something?"
"Anything."
"Are you? Happy, I mean."
Dana looked down and studied her hands for a moment, hoping that Alice didn’t catch the somber look in her eyes when she thought about what would really make her happy and how she so callously let it go. In a word: Alice. But Dana couldn’t reveal such thoughts to Alice now, not when they seemed to be making such progress on the friendship front. So she mustered up all the courage she had and resolved to look the woman she loved in the eye and lie to her.
"Yeah, Al, I am."
"Good."
"For the most part."
"The most part?" Alice implored curiously.
‘Damnit,’ Dana thought, ‘Why’d I have to throw that in there?’ As Dana fruitlessly searched for the right words to deter Alice from realizing just how unhappy she was without her, her hands began to involuntarily shake and her eyes started to fill up.

Hey Thank you great update. Gotta love that Danish. PPS.
I’m sorry, I can’t help it! I want danish together and if that means tainting Jules so you can no longer write him into this then yay! :P My plan is working mwahaha. As for that needy comment, uh em, no you don’t *shifts eyes nervously from side to side* I’m perfectly fine without an update from you. Do you buy that? This is Bradshaw saying you posted an awesome chapter once again and I’m mega jealous of your talent, over and out xx
Another great update! It was awesome, before, but I liked the additions too. Unlike your other readers I’m not quite ready for them to get back together. I don’t want Dana to suffer, but she has to be completely sure before she even gives a hint that she’s still interested in Alice. I’m sure Shane will figure it out – if she hasn’t already. :-) It’s so funny that De_Leish_ous is still calling Jules “him”. rofl I can’t wait for your next update.Yes, I got a little kick out of calling you busy. You left before noon? It’s official, I’m jealous. lol You’re right – Go Chargers! (But I sorta like the Ravens too.) Down with the Pats! lolThanks again for the update and the preview.
Aww, poor Dana. Sometimes I wish she’d quit with all the being scared and hiding her feelings crap, but this time she’s doing it for Alice’s sake, and I can’t help hurting for her a little bit. That’s such a tough situation to be in, and her guilt’s understandable, which somehow makes it even more sad. There was a lot of groundwork for a Danish romantic reconciliation in this update, and everything made complete sense in the context of both the storyline and the characters’ personalities. So yay. Oh, and as to the livejournal thing…I had a sneaking suspicion it was you just by the writing style, but I didn’t want to say that in case I was wrong because I’d look either insane or idiotic. But yay, I was right! Okay, I’ll stop babbling your life away now…love this story more every time you post!
It’s good that they have their friendship back on track. I can’t wait for Dana to tell Alice how she really feels though
Are you serious? How can a non-argument between these two be dissapointing? This chapter was more I than I exepcted! So will we have a slighlty drunk Alice (and Dana) in the next chapter. :)
so cute. what the heck is dana gonna do? i really liked the line “Dana’s heart seemed to pound in her chest, making sure she knew it was still beating just for Alice. ” how poetic! post soon.
Great update just wish it was 20 pages longer. My heart is breaking for Dana a little bit, poor thing. Granted she did it to herself. Love the intensity you are building and can’t wait to see what happens.
YAY … I finally caught up after not reading any fanfic in about 2 weeks. I absolutely can’t wait for your next update!
Awesome story.Nice to see them talking. hope it stays that way.Please post more soon.
