Dana’s face brightened at Alice’s use of the phrase best friend. She knew that the role of her best friend would always be fulfilled by Alice, and nothing either of them could do would ever change that as far as Dana was concerned. But the athlete was also sure that she had effectively handed over her spot as Alice’s best friend when she walked out on her seven months ago.
"Oh stop with the doe-eyes Bambi, you know you’re my best friend."
Dana unsuccessfully attempted to hide the growing grin that had taken hold of her lips, which eventually grew more solemn as she thought about the current state of their relationship. "Yeah, I guess I wasn’t sure where we stood anymore. And please don’t think I’m blaming you for that, I know it’s my fault."
"You know, I think I’m prepared to share some of that blame with you. I didn’t exactly make it easy on either one of us."
Dana stared admiringly at Alice, but the writer refused to meet her glance. Instead, she seemed to be focusing intently on the ocean in front of them.
"Thank you," Dana whispered as she blinked back the unshed tears occupying her eyes. Alice turned to face her and they smiled at each other, relieved at the prospect of finally being able to have an honest conversation with each other. But Dana’s face suddenly grew grim. "I’m sorry, Alice. I’m sorry for everything. For the way I just left, for not being what you needed me to be. And most of all, for making you think you couldn’t depend on me when you needed me the most. Looking back, I just can’t believe how stupid I was."
"Dana, hey," Alice shifted her upper body so she was now facing Dana, who had just begun to let the first tears fall into the sand beneath them. She placed a hand on Dana’s shoulder, and massaged it gently. "Come on, you did what you had to do at the time. I really can’t blame you for doing what was probably in the best interests of your own sanity." Alice searched Dana’s eyes until they met her own, blue eyes staring intently into brown.

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.
