"Here you go, this one doesn’t seem to have a card though."
Alice looked like an eight-year-old on Christmas. She took the small box that Jules handed her and quickly tore it open until all the wrapping paper and scotch tape were gone. Still fervent in her mission, she desperately opened the box and noticed that there was a card after all, just tucked away inside the box itself. However, in typical Alice form, she decided to forego reading the card and instead focused first on the gift. And once she did this, she was sure the earth had stopped spinning as she felt her knees nearly give way and her eyes gloss over with tears. Slowly, she removed a small silver bangle bracelet from the box and held it up to get a better look. "Oh my God."
"What is it?" Jules inquired, not comprehending why Alice had suddenly grown so serious.
"I can’t believe she remembered."
"Who? Remembered what?"
Jules became even more bewildered as Alice continued to ignore her questions and stare, mesmerized by the piece of jewelry in her hand. Hands shaking, she carefully put the bracelet back into the box and removed the small note folded underneath it.
Al,
I hope you remember the story behind this bracelet, but in case you’ve managed to block it out entirely, I’ll indulge you for a minute. So after our first lunch together at Fred Siegel, you remember how we decided to go shopping, even though neither of us could really afford anything there? Anyway, you came upon this bracelet, which I considered "an overpriced piece of junk", but you seemed to have fallen in love with it at first sight. But since at the time you were an unemployed journalist (hmm, how’d that happen?), you couldn’t afford to buy it and probably just forgot about it completely. Well, I confess now that I went back later that day and bought it right there on the spot. See, I always wanted to give it to you on a special occasion, but I could never really come up with one that seemed as special as you. So it’s been sitting, wasting away in my closet now for years, and I guess after all this time I finally realized that I didn’t need an occasion to show you just how special you are to me, since I feel it every day. So happy birthday, Alice. You truly are the most amazing person I’ve ever have the privilege of knowing. And you’ll always be special to me.

Nice touch with the gift and the note…sorry to say Jules, but you might as well get to pack’n…Sorry I have been a silent reader, but I had to comment after this chapter…PPS
that was such an awesome update. dana’s note was so beautiful. i was starting to think – how will they ever work this out? but the ending has given me some hope. i feel bad for jules and lara but like gemzo said – you can’t stand in the way of true love. thanks for that.
Poor, poor Jules. I liked the fact that Max and Jenny had a fight. That was cute. But poor Jules… lol
Wow fantastic part! Beautiful note from Dana, I feel a bit sorry for Jules but you can’t stand in the way of true love (i hope!) PPS :)
Okay, you made me cry like three times with this thing. Poor Alice, and poor Jules, and poor Dana. Poor everybody, except not Helena since she’s still rich in this. Ha, the wittiness, it astounds even me. And I’m rambling, but I do indeed heart this story immensely.
With Gemzo on this one. awesome story.
Awww, Dana Dana Dana why did you break up with her hmm? Julian is so patient, he’s like super restrained, must be his man powers. LOL I’m sorry, I can’t resist calling her a he, you write so talented and flawless and I’m not poking fun at all, I’m just so caught up and all aboard the danish train woo woo! Ok I think Bradshaw has to stop writing now and chill out because she seems to have lost the plot. Awesome chapter I swear you make me luv you even more with every chap :D xx
awww. that was soo great. loved the note from Dana. It sounds like things are about to be stirred up a bit. Can’t wait to read on.
That was just great. Dana’s gift to Alice was just perfect.
So close, Jules, yet so very, very far away. I’m sorry for her, but as Gemzo’s said, one can’t stop an irresistible force. Nicely done, and sweet at the end.
I actually like Jules…and I think she would be great for Alice if Dana wasn’t around. But Dana is..so back away Jules. ;) I hope a lot of Alice’s quesions willbe anwered by Dana clarifying her note in person.
