"First of all, since when did spending time with you mean I wasn’t enjoying myself?"
"Uh…you really want me to answer that? I think I can name a time or two within the past few months where you weren’t quite ecstatic at the idea of being around me, Al."
"Fine, point taken. But Dana, would you stop feeling bad all the time? What’s done is done. And you know, I’m still not completely over everything, but I guess with time I’ve been better able to understand why it happened. Like I said, I’m willing to accept some of the blame. And I know that you wouldn’t have left if I didn’t give you a damn good reason to. Look, the bottom line is that I’m a grown woman, and I can make my own decisions and stick with them long enough to deal with the consequences," Alice explained and laughed to herself, "at least, that’s what Harriet says."
"Harriet?"
Alice chuckled again, realizing that Dana didn’t know she had been in therapy now for the past two-and-a-half weeks. It wasn’t something she was broadcasting to everyone, but Dana had tried for so long to get her to seek professional help, she felt she owed it to her to at least clue her in of the progress she’s been making.
"Harriet’s my therapist."
"You’re seeing a therapist?" Dana asked with a wide-eyed expression.
"Alright, don’t make fun of me."
"No! No Al, I think that’s great. I always thought you should go see one when we were together."
"Yeah…I remember," Alice turned away and looked back at the waves. She didn’t want to keep rehashing their past and the countless issues that still haunted her, but being for the sake of both their well-beings, she continued. "I know you wanted me to get help, and you were right. I probably needed it back then even more than I do now. But I guess it’s never too late, huh?
Dana smiled at her with a glint of admiration in her eye. "Right…soooo, how it’s going?"
"Yeah, I mean…," Alice began, and subconsciously began to dig her toes in the sand and focus on covering her feet with the grainy substance, "so far so good, I guess. It’s hard, you know? I’ve never really seen a shrink before, and it’s definitely an adjustment talking to a perfect stranger about my most personal feelings. But I’ll give it to the woman, she’s definitely good at what she does."

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.
